Jay K . Kolls CD 4 + T - cell subsets and host defense in the lung
This article is a part of a series of reviews covering CD4 T-cell Subsets appearing in Volume 252 of Immunological Reviews. Summary: CD4 T-helper subsets are lineages of T cells that have effector function in the lung and control critical aspects of lung immunity. Depletion of these cells experimentally or by drugs or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in humans leads to the developme...
متن کاملComplement-mediated host defense in the lung.
Complement is a system of plasma proteins that aids in the elimination of pathogens from the body. We hypothesized that there is a functional complement system present in the lung that aids in the removal of pathogens. Western blot analysis revealed complement proteins of the alternative and classical pathways of complement in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALF) from healthy volunteers. Functi...
متن کاملT-cell Subsets and Antifungal Host Defenses
It has been long appreciated that protective immunity against fungal pathogens is dependent on activation of cellular adaptive immune responses represented by T lymphocytes. The T-helper (Th)1/Th2 paradigm has proven to be essential for the understanding of protective adaptive host responses. Studies that have examined the significance of regulatory T cells in fungal infection, and the recent d...
متن کاملCytokines in innate host defense in the lung
Historically the lung has been perceived as an organ primarily involved in gas exchange. However, due to its unique relationship with the environment, the lung must defend itself from infection by numerous inhaled micro-organisms. Various innate defenses protect the lung from infection, including the cough reflex, mucociliary clearance (see Knowles and Boucher, this Perspective series, ref. 1),...
