Lactic acid bacteria isolated from poultry protect the intestinal epithelial cells of chickens from in vitro wheat germ agglutinin-induced cytotoxicity [PDF]

, 2018
Poultry fed on wheat-based diets regularly ingest wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) that has toxic effects in vitro on intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) obtained from 14-d-old broilers.

Mannose-binding lectin and its genetic variants [PDF]

Genes & Immunity, 2006
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a collagen-like serum protein that mediates activation of the complement system and is of importance for host defence. Common variant alleles situated both in the promoter and structural region of the human MBL gene (MBL2) influence the stability and the serum concentration of the protein.

Heterogeneity of Intratumoral Microbiota Within the Tumor Microenvironment and Relationship to Tumor Development

Med Research, EarlyView.
Mutual shaping of tumor microbiota and TME. Intratumoral microbiota—comprising diverse bacteria, fungi, viruses, and intracellular organisms—play critical and dynamic roles in shaping the tumor microenvironment (TME). Their spatial and compositional diversity contributes to both intratumoral and intertumoral heterogeneity, influencing immune modulation

A Lectin from Dioclea violacea Interacts with Midgut Surface of Lutzomyia migonei, Unlike Its Homologues, Cratylia floribunda Lectin and Canavalia gladiata Lectin

The Scientific World Journal, 2014
Leishmaniasis is a vector-borne disease transmitted by phlebotomine sand fly. Susceptibility and refractoriness to Leishmania depend on the outcome of multiple interactions that take place within the sand fly gut.

Potential roles of antibodies with different classes in IgG4‐related diseases

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
This review discussed the common characteristics of different classes of antibodies and their potential corresponding unique mechanisms involved in immunoglobulin G4‐related disease. Abstract Immunoglobulin G4‐related disease (IgG4‐RD), first identified two decades ago, is an immune‐mediated pro‐inflammatory and profibrotic disease entity affecting ...

Nanomedicine for Oral Delivery: Strategies to Overcome the Biological Barriers

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Oral delivery is a preferred administration route for many clinical applications, valued for its strong patient compliance. In this review, how nanoparticles are engineered and deployed to overcome the gastrointestinal barriers that impede clinical translation of oral delivery formulations is examined.

The Biomaterial and Blood Clot Complex: A Crucial Early Environment for Osteo‐Coagulo‐Immunomodulation and the Advancement of Bone Biomaterials

Small Structures, EarlyView.
Various properties of bone biomaterials can modulate components of the blood clot (including the fibrin network, red blood cells, platelets, and the complement system) in vivo implantation, leading to the formation of a biomaterial–blood clot complex (BBCC) significantly impacting subsequent osteoimmunomodulation.

Structure of FcRY, an avian immunoglobulin receptor related to mammalian mannose receptors, and its complex with IgY [PDF]

, 2011
Fc receptors transport maternal antibodies across epithelial cell barriers to passively immunize newborns. FcRY, the functional counterpart of mammalian FcRn (a major histocompatibility complex homolog), transfers IgY across the avian yolk sac, and ...
