Cytokines and mucosal immunity [PDF]

Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2014
Cytokines are integral mediators for maintaining intestinal mucosal homeostasis, as well as prominent effector molecules during chronic gut inflammatory diseases. This review focuses on recent studies of the role of specific cytokines in mucosal immunity.Dichotomous, or even opposing, functions have been described for several cytokines involved in ...

In situ characterisation of CD4+ t cell behaviour in mucosal and systemic lymphoid tissues during the induction of oral priming and tolerance [PDF]

, 2005
The behavior of antigen-specific CD4+ T lymphocytes during initial exposure to antigen probably influences their decision to become primed or tolerized, but this has not been examined directly in vivo.

Characterisation of antigen-presenting cells in the murine female reproductive tract and its draining lymph nodes [PDF]

, 2011
Despite the global burden of sexually transmitted diseases, the immunology of the female reproductive tract is poorly understood. An understanding of how the distribution of antigen presenting cells in the tissue and cross talk between cell types both ...

Leptin and mucosal immunity [PDF]

Mucosal Immunology, 2012
Enhanced susceptibility to infection has long been recognized in children with congenital deficiency of leptin or its receptor. Studies in mice have demonstrated that leptin deficiency affects both the innate and acquired immune systems. Here, we review recent studies that demonstrate the impact on immunity of a common non-synonomous polymorphism of ...

Specific Host Signatures for the Detection of Tuberculosis Infection in Children in a Low TB Incidence Country

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) in children remains challenging due to unspecific clinical presentation and low bacillary load. In low TB incidence countries, most cases are diagnosed by a contact screening strategy after exposure to an index TB case. Due

The Human Penis Is a Genuine Immunological Effector Site

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
The human penis is a main portal of entry for numerous pathogens, and vaccines able to control resulting infections locally are highly desirable. However, in contrast to the gastrointestinal or vaginal mucosa, the penile immune system and mechanisms ...
