Humoral immune response to flagellin requires T cells and activation of innate immunity.
Bacterial flagellin, the primary structural component of flagella, is a dominant target of humoral immunity upon infection by enteric pathogens and in Crohn's disease. To better understand how such responses may be regulated, we sought to define, in mice, basic mechanisms that regulate generation of flagellin-specific Igs. We observed that, in response to i.p. injection with flagellin, generati...
متن کاملChapter 12 Mosquito Immunity
Throughout their lifetime, mosquitoes are exposed to pathogens during feeding, through breaks in their cuticle and following pathogen‐driven cuticular degradation. To resist infection, mosquitoes mount innate cellular and humoral immune responses that are elicited within minutes of exposure and can lead to pathogen death via three broadly defined mechanisms: lysis, melanization and hemocyte‐med...
متن کاملMosquito Immunity against Arboviruses
Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) pose a significant threat to global health, causing human disease with increasing geographic range and severity. The recent availability of the genome sequences of medically important mosquito species has kick-started investigations into the molecular basis of how mosquito vectors control arbovirus infection. Here, we discuss recent findings concerning the ...
متن کاملThe role of hemocytes in Anopheles gambiae antiplasmodial immunity.
Hemocytes synthesize key components of the mosquito complement-like system, but their role in the activation of antiplasmodial responses has not been established. The effect of activating Toll signaling in hemocytes on Plasmodium survival was investigated by transferring hemocytes or cell-free hemolymph from donor mosquitoes in which the suppressor cactus was silenced. These transfers greatly e...
متن کاملNatural and engineered mosquito immunity
A recent paper in BMC Microbiology shows how suppression of mosquito innate immunity against a virus that the mosquito can normally tolerate increases mosquito mortality. This is just one of several approaches that may soon bring genetics-based mosquito control methods from the laboratory into the field.
