New application of anti-TLR monoclonal antibodies: detection, inhibition and protection
Inflammation and Regeneration, 2018 Monoclonal antibody (mAb) is an essential tool for the analysis in various fields of biology. In the field of innate immunology, mAbs have been established and used for the study of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), a family of pathogen sensors that induces ...

Trends in Plant Science, 2011 Advances in studies of rice innate immunity have led to the identification and characterization of host sensors encoding receptor kinases that perceive conserved microbial signatures. Receptor kinases that carry the non-orginine-aspartate domain, are highly expanded in rice (Oryza sativa) compared with Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana).

NLRP3 deficiency abrogates silica-induced neutrophil infiltration, pulmonary damage and fibrosis
Respiratory ResearchBackground Silicosis is a progressive and often fatal occupational lung disease. The NLRP3 inflammasome is an innate immune sensor that is activated by silica. Accumulating evidence has implicated a role for NLRP3 in silicosis pathogenesis. In this study,

Reviewing the effects of food provisioning on wildlife immunity [PDF]
, 2018 While urban expansion increasingly encroaches on natural habitats, many wildlife species capitalize on anthropogenic food resources, which have the potential to both positively and negatively influence their responses to infection.

Innate Nutritional Immunity [PDF]
The 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.

SpermQ–A Simple Analysis Software to Comprehensively Study Flagellar Beating and Sperm Steering
Cells, 2018 Motile cilia, also called flagella, are found across a broad range of species; some cilia propel prokaryotes and eukaryotic cells like sperm, while cilia on epithelial surfaces create complex fluid patterns e.g., in the brain or lung.

Metabolic reprogramming in macrophages and dendritic cells in innate immunity
Cell Research, 2015 Activation of macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs) by pro-inflammatory stimuli causes them to undergo a metabolic switch towards glycolysis and away from oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), similar to the Warburg effect in tumors.

cGAS surveillance of micronuclei links genome instability to innate immunity
Nature, 2017 DNA is strictly compartmentalized within the nucleus to prevent autoimmunity; despite this, cyclic GMP–AMP synthase (cGAS), a cytosolic sensor of double-stranded DNA, is activated in autoinflammatory disorders and by DNA damage.

Predictors and immunological correlates of sublethal mercury exposure in vampire bats [PDF]
, 2017 Mercury (Hg) is a pervasive heavy metal that often enters the environment from anthropogenic sources such as gold mining and agriculture. Chronic exposure to Hg can impair immune function, reducing the ability of animals to resist or recover from ...

Innate Immunity and Alcohol [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2019 The innate immunity has evolved during millions of years, and thus, equivalent or comparable components are found in most vertebrates, invertebrates, and even plants. It constitutes the first line of defense against molecules, which are either pathogen-derived or a danger signal themselves, and not seldom both. These molecular patterns are comprised of
