Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Monocyte-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (MLR), and Eosinophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (ELR) as Biomarkers in Patients with Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (AECOPD)

International Journal of COPD
Purpose The study comprehensively evaluated the prognostic roles of the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), basophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (BLR), and eosinophil-to-lymphocyte ratio ...

The NLR-Annotator Tool Enables Annotation of the Intracellular Immune Receptor Repertoire1[OPEN]

Plant Physiology, 2020
The wheat intracellular immune receptor repertoire can be explored with the NLR-Annotator tool. Disease resistance genes encoding nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat (NLR) intracellular immune receptor proteins detect pathogens by the presence of ...

The PEP++ study protocol: a cluster-randomised controlled trial on the effectiveness of an enhanced regimen of post-exposure prophylaxis for close contacts of persons affected by leprosy to prevent disease transmission

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Leprosy is an infectious disease with a slow decline in global annual caseload in the past two decades. Active case finding and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) with a single dose of rifampicin (SDR) are recommended by the World Health ...

A disease resistance protein triggers oligomerization of its NLR helper into a hexameric resistosome to mediate innate immunity

bioRxiv
NRCs are essential helper NLR (nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat) proteins that execute the immune response triggered by disease resistance proteins, also known as sensor NLRs.

Value Research of NLR, PLR, and RDW in Prognostic Assessment of Patients with Colorectal Cancer

Journal of Healthcare Engineering, 2022
Objective This study aimed to investigate the relevance of the study with the neutrophil count and lymphocyte count ratio (NLR), platelet count and lymphocyte count ratio (PLR), and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) in the prognostic evaluation of ...

Plant NLR immunity activation and execution: a biochemical perspective

Open Biology
Plants deploy cell-surface and intracellular receptors to detect pathogen attack and trigger innate immune responses. Inside host cells, families of nucleotide-binding/leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins serve as pathogen sensors or downstream mediators ...

A designer rice NLR immune receptor confers resistance to the rice blast fungus carrying noncorresponding avirulence effectors

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance In this study, we generated a mutant of the rice nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immunity receptor RGA5 by engineering its heavy metal–associated domain that recognizes the noncorresponding Magnaporthe oryzae Avrs- and ToxB ...

NLRscape: an atlas of plant NLR proteins

Nucleic Acids Research, 2022
AbstractNLRscape is a webserver that curates a collection of over 80 000 plant protein sequences identified in UniProtKB to contain NOD-like receptor signatures, and hosts in addition a number of tools aimed at the exploration of the complex sequence landscape of this class of plant proteins.

A plant NLR receptor employs ABA central regulator PP2C-SnRK2 to activate antiviral immunity

Nature Communications
Defence against pathogens relies on intracellular nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich repeat immune receptors (NLRs) in plants. Hormone signaling including abscisic acid (ABA) pathways are activated by NLRs and play pivotal roles in defence against ...
