B-Cell Response during Protozoan Parasite Infections
In this review, we discuss how protozoan parasites alter immature and mature B cell compartment. B1 and marginal zone (MZ) B cells, considered innate like B cells, are activated during protozoan parasite infections, and they generate short lived plasma cells providing a prompt antibody source. In addition, protozoan infections induce massive B cell response with polyclonal activation that leads...
متن کاملImmune response to fungal infections.
The immune mechanisms of defence against fungal infections are numerous, and range from protective mechanisms that were present early in evolution (innate immunity) to sophisticated adaptive mechanisms that are induced specifically during infection and disease (adaptive immunity). The first-line innate mechanism is the presence of physical barriers in the form of skin and mucous membranes, whic...
متن کاملImmune response to retroviral infections of the brain.
Various neurological manifestations of retroviral infections have been reported, including peripheral neuropathy, encephalopathy and neuronal degeneration. After penetration into the central nervous system (CNS) the invading retroviruses meet a unique immunological situation that differs significantly from that in the periphery. Due to the blood-brain barrier with its general access restriction...
متن کاملHost Cell Autophagy in Immune Response to Zoonotic Infections
Autophagy is a fundamental homeostatic process in which cytoplasmic targets are sequestered within double-membraned autophagosomes and subsequently delivered to lysosomes for degradation. Accumulating evidence supports the pivotal role of autophagy in host defense against intracellular pathogens implicating both innate and adaptive immunity. Many of these pathogens cause common zoonotic infecti...
متن کاملPossibilities to Modulate the Immune Response during Infections
Immunomodulating drugs are important tools in the treatment of infectious diseases, especially hepatitis. The authors present different classes of immunomodulators that are currently in use. After the era of antibiotherapy and of augmentation of host defense through immunizations, the time has come for immunomodulation substances to be reevaluated. Becausemultidrug antibiotic resistance has tur...
