Naturally derived cytokine peptides limit virus replication and severe disease during influenza A virus infection

open access: yesClinical & Translational Immunology, 2023
Objectives Novel host‐targeted therapeutics could treat severe influenza A virus (IAV) infections, with reduced risk of drug resistance. LAT8881 is a synthetic form of the naturally occurring C‐terminal fragment of human growth hormone.

An ocular Th1 immune response promotes corneal nerve damage independently of the development of corneal epitheliopathy

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2023
Proper sight is not possible without a smooth, transparent cornea, which is highly exposed to environmental threats. The abundant corneal nerves are interspersed with epithelial cells in the anterior corneal surface and are instrumental to corneal ...

Mosquito Innate Immunity [PDF]

open access: yesInsects, 2018
Mosquitoes live under the endless threat of infections from different kinds of pathogens such as bacteria, parasites, and viruses. The mosquito defends itself by employing both physical and physiological barriers that resist the entry of the pathogen and the subsequent establishment of the pathogen within the mosquito.

Pleiotropic functions of the tumor- and metastasis-suppressing Matrix Metalloproteinase-8 in mammary cancer in MMTV-PyMT transgenic mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8; neutrophil collagenase) is an important regulator of innate immunity which has onco-suppressive actions in numerous tumor ...

Expression and Localization of Paneth Cells and Their α-Defensins in the Small Intestine of Adult Mouse

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Paneth cells contribute to intestinal innate immunity by sensing bacteria and secreting α-defensin. In Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice, α-defensin termed cryptdin (Crp) in Paneth cells consists of six major isoforms, Crp1 to 6.

Targeting RIP Kinases in Chronic Inflammatory Disease

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
Chronic inflammatory disorders are characterised by aberrant and exaggerated inflammatory immune cell responses. Modes of extrinsic cell death, apoptosis and necroptosis, have now been shown to be potent drivers of deleterious inflammation, and mutations

Innate Nutritional Immunity [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Immunology, 2018
Abstract Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for both microbes and their hosts. The biologic importance of Fe derives from its inherent ability to act as a universal redox catalyst, co-opted in a variety of biochemical processes critical to maintain life.

Livestock abundance predicts vampire bat demography, immune profiles, and bacterial infection risk [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Human activities create novel food resources that can alter wildlife–pathogen interactions. If resources amplify or dampen, pathogen transmission probably depends on both host ecology and pathogen biology, but studies that measure responses to ...

Innate immune defects in HIV permissive cell lines. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Primary CD4+ T cells and cell lines differ in their permissiveness to HIV infection. Impaired innate immunity may contribute to this different phenotype. We used transcriptome profiling of 1503 innate immunity genes in primary CD4+ T cells and permissive

Hypercytokinemia: Increased or decreased innate immunity? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The adipose tissue is an active endocrine organ which secretes proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines resulting into raised serum levels. Hypercytokinemia has been interpreted as raised level of innate immunity and its evolution is interpreted as a ...
