Antiphospholipid antibodies in acute and post-treatment Lyme disease

Infection and Immunity
Acute Lyme disease is caused by a Borrelia infection and typically responds to antibiotic treatment, but post-infectious chronic symptoms are common. The precise origin of these post-treatment symptoms is unknown; dysregulation of immune responses raised

Differentiating Peromyscus leucopus bone marrow-derived macrophages for characterization of responses to Borrelia burgdorferi and lipopolysaccharide

Infection and Immunity
Currently, most tools utilized in host-pathogen interaction studies depend on the use of human or mouse (Mus musculus) cells and tissues. While these species have led to countless breakthroughs in our understanding of infectious disease, there are ...

A New Paradigm: 46 Structural Cell Types Function as Environment‐Supporting Innate Immune Cells, With Endothelial and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells as Key Prototypes

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The scope, organization, and biological significance of innate immune functions across structural cell types remain poorly defined. To address these fundamental knowledge gaps, we analyzed experimental data of transcriptomes generated by our group and others.
