Exploring the immunology of parasitism--from surface antigens to the hygiene hypothesis [PDF]
Helminth immunology is a field which has changed beyond recognition in the past 30 years, transformed not only by new technologies from cDNA cloning to flow cytometry, but also conceptually as our definition of host immune pathways has matured.

Acid Test: Lipid Antigens Get into the Groove [PDF]
How do CD1 molecules load lipid antigens? In this issue of Immunity, Relloso et al. (2008) uncover how lysosomal pH targets amino acids in CD1b, causing it to open and attain a conformation more receptive to lipid antigens.

CD4 and CD8 co-receptors modulate functional avidity of CD1b-restricted T cells
CD4 and CD8 co-receptors are routinely used to define distinct functional and phenotypic lineages of T cells. Here the authors show CD4 and CD8 also modulate the functional avidity of the CD1b-restricted response to mycobacterial lipid ...

ABSTRACT Purpose Air pollution has been linked to several neurological conditions, including stroke and neurodegenerative diseases. Evidence regarding its association with multiple sclerosis (MS) remains conflicting, limited by small sample sizes. Methods PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane controlled register of trials (CENTRAL) were searched on ...

Mycoketide: A CD1c-Presented Antigen with Important Implications in Mycobacterial Infection
Mycobacterium tuberculosis and related mycobacteria species are unique in that the acid-fast bacilli possess a highly lipid-rich cell wall that not simply confers resistance to treatment with acid alcohol, but also controls their survival and virulence ...

Infectious diseases and autoimmunity [PDF]
Introduction: Autoimmunity occurs when the immune system recognizes and attacks host tissue. In addition to genetic factors, environmental triggers (in particular viruses, bacteria and other infectious pathogens) are thought to play a major role in the ...
