Plant pattern-recognition receptors
Trends in Immunology, 2014 Plants are constantly exposed to would-be pathogens in their immediate environment. Yet, despite relying on innate immunity only, plants are resistant to most microbes. They employ pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) for sensitive and rapid detection of the potential danger caused by microbes and pests. Plant PRRs are either surface-localized receptor

Innate Immune Sensors and Gastrointestinal Bacterial Infections
Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2011 The gastrointestinal microbiota is a major source of immune stimulation. The interaction between host pattern-recognition receptors and conserved microbial ligands profoundly influences infection dynamics.

Pattern recognition receptors in antifungal immunity [PDF]
Seminars in Immunopathology, 2014 Receptors of the innate immune system are the first line of defence against infection, being able to recognise and initiate an inflammatory response to invading microorganisms. The Toll-like (TLR), NOD-like (NLR), RIG-I-like (RLR) and C-type lectin-like receptors (CLR) are four receptor families that contribute to the recognition of a vast range of ...

Frontiers in Immunology, 2015 Natural Killer (NK) cells are a key constituent of the innate immune system, protecting against bacteria, virally infected cells, and cancer. Recognition and protective function against such cells is dictated by activating and inhibitory receptors on ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Asymptomatic infection poses a significant risk for children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Pre‐transplant surveillance computed tomography (CT) is commonly used to identify occult infection, though its diagnostic yield remains uncertain.

Herpes Simplex Virus and Pattern Recognition Receptors: An Arms Race
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Herpes simplex viruses (HSVs) are experts in establishing persistent infection in immune-competent humans, in part by successfully evading immune activation through diverse strategies. Upon HSV infection, host deploys pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Patients with ovarian cancer often present with massive ascites, leading to significant protein loss during surgical procedures. Although cell‐free concentrated ascites reinfusion therapy (CART) is used in palliative settings to mitigate protein loss, its application in intraoperative settings remains unexplored.

The Acari Hypothesis, II: Interspecies Operability of Pattern Recognition Receptors
Pathogens, 2021 Hypersensitivity to galactose-α-1,3-galactose (α-gal) is an informative example of a pathologic IgE-mediated process. By way of their saliva, ticks are able to sensitize humans to tick dietary elements that express α-gal.

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication in patients receiving maintenance dialysis, driven by calcium and phosphate metabolism disturbances. Calcimimetics are central to the management of SHPT by enhancing calcium‐sensing receptor sensitivity and reducing parathyroid hormone secretion.

Primary immunodeficiencies of pattern recognition receptors [PDF]
Journal of Internal Medicine, 2012 AbstractPrimary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are severe defects in the capacity of the host to mount a proper immune response, and are characterized by an increased susceptibility to infections. Although classical immunodeficiencies have been characterized based on broad defects in cell populations (e.g.
