Regulation of inflammation and protection against invasive pneumococcal infection by the long pentraxin PTX3

open access: yeseLife, 2023
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major pathogen in children, elderly subjects, and immunodeficient patients. Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is a fluid-phase pattern recognition molecule (PRM) involved in resistance to selected microbial agents and in regulation of ...

Pathogen recognition by the long pentraxin PTX3 [PDF]

open access: yesBioMed Research International, 2011
Innate immunity represents the first line of defence against pathogens and plays key roles in activation and orientation of the adaptive immune response. The innate immune system comprises both a cellular and a humoral arm.

Pentraxins and atherosclerosis: the role of PTX3

open access: yesCurrent Pharmaceutical Design, 2011
Pentraxins are a family of evolutionarily conserved multifunctional pattern-recognition proteins characterized by a cyclic multimeric structure. Based on the primary structure of the subunit, the pentraxins are divided into two groups: short pentraxins ...

Regulation of leukocyte recruitment by the long pentraxin PTX3 [PDF]

open access: yesNature Immunology, 2010
Pentraxins are a superfamily of conserved proteins involved in the acute-phase response and innate immunity. Pentraxin 3 (PTX3), a prototypical member of the long pentraxin subfamily, is a key component of the humoral arm of innate immunity that is ...

The long pentraxin PTX3 promotes fibrocyte differentiation.

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2015
Monocyte-derived, fibroblast-like cells called fibrocytes are associated with fibrotic lesions. The plasma protein serum amyloid P component (SAP; also known as pentraxin-2, PTX2) inhibits fibrocyte differentiation in vitro, and injections of SAP inhibit
