Survival of Helicobacter pylori from complement lysis by binding of GPI-anchored protectin (CD59)

open access: yesGastroenterology, 2001
Background & Aims: Although Helicobacter pylori is sensitive to complement lysis in vitro, chronic infection persists for years. We tested whether H. pylori acquires complement resistance by binding glycolipid-tailed inhibitors from the host. Methods:

The Lipid Mediator Protectin D1 Inhibits Influenza Virus Replication and Improves Severe Influenza

open access: yesCell, 2013
SummaryInfluenza A viruses are a major cause of mortality. Given the potential for future lethal pandemics, effective drugs are needed for the treatment of severe influenza such as that caused by H5N1 viruses.

Resolvins and protectins in the termination program of acute inflammation

Trends in Immunology, 2007
The physiological resolution of a well-orchestrated inflammatory response is essential to maintain homeostasis. Therefore, gaining a comprehensive understanding in molecular terms of the events that direct the termination of acute inflammation is imperative.

Immunolocalization of protectin (CD59) and macrophages in polymyositis and dermatomyositis

Journal of Neuroimmunology, 2004
Immunohistochemical stainings for protectin (CD59) and for the macrophage/monocyte antigen were performed in muscle specimens of polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM) patients. In control muscles, a granular immunostaining of CD59 at the surface of 10-15% from among muscle fibers and an intense reaction in endothelia of blood vessels were noted ...

Protectins in Argentine Mollusks: Immunological and Immunochemical Aspects

1975
Protectins and agglutinins in several organs, fluids and spawn from Argentine terrestrial and fresh-water gastropod species were examined. Differences or analogies with vertebrate immunoglobulin serological behaviour are summarized. Individual or group variability and the evolutionary meaning of the reproductive system-linked and the Ca++ ion-linked ...

Lipoxins, resolvins and protectins: new leads for the treatment of asthma

Expert Opinion on Drug Discovery, 2008
The pathobiology of asthma is characterized by the production of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids that play important roles in regulating airway responses. Recognition of the biosynthetic pathways and sites of action for 5-lipoxygenase-derived leukotrienes has led to the successful development of two different classes of asthma therapeutics.In this review,

Mediator Lipidomics: Search Algorithms for Eicosanoids, Resolvins, and Protectins

2007
Within the domain of lipidomics, lipid mediator lipidomics and informatics is an exciting area because of the important roles of lipid-derived mediators in health and disease. It is well-appreciated that arachidonic acid is a precursor to potent bioactive mediators, such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and lipoxins.

Novel Chemical Mediators in the Resolution of Inflammation: Resolvins and Protectins

Anesthesiology Clinics of North America, 2006
Resolvins and protectins are new families consisting of distinct chemical series of lipid-derived mediators, each with unique structures and apparent complementary anti-inflammatory actions. Both families of compounds, Rv and protectins, are also generated when aspirin is given in mammalian systems in their respective epimeric forms.
