Bacterial Immunity and Host Defense
001 Abstract Microbes are the key players for deteriorating the host defense. They enter inside the host system, colonize the host cells, evade the host immunity and ultimately leads to tissue injury and ultimately disease. But the body cells are having strong immune system to combat with these aliens. There are two basic types of immune responses in body for bacterial degradation. Immune respo...
متن کاملFunctions of Cationic Host Defense Peptides in Immunity
Cationic host defense peptides are a widely distributed family of immunomodulatory molecules with antimicrobial properties. The biological functions of these peptides include the ability to influence innate and adaptive immunity for efficient resolution of infections and simultaneous modulation of inflammatory responses. This unique dual bioactivity of controlling infections and inflammation ha...
متن کاملPattern recognition receptors in innate immunity, host defense, and immunopathology.
Infection by pathogenic microbes initiates a set of complex interactions between the pathogen and the host mediated by pattern recognition receptors. Innate immune responses play direct roles in host defense during the early stages of infection, and they also exert a profound influence on the generation of the adaptive immune responses that ensue. An improved understanding of the pattern recogn...
متن کاملSoluble Host Defense Lectins in Innate Immunity to Influenza Virus
Host defenses against viral infections depend on a complex interplay of innate (nonspecific) and adaptive (specific) components. In the early stages of infection, innate mechanisms represent the main line of host defense, acting to limit the spread of virus in host tissues prior to the induction of the adaptive immune response. Serum and lung fluids contain a range of lectins capable of recogni...
متن کاملEnteric defensins: antibiotic peptide components of intestinal host defense
Five intestinal defensins, termed cryptdins 1-5, have been purified from mouse small bowel, sequenced, and localized to the epithelium by immunohistochemistry. Although identified as members of the defensin peptide family by peptide sequencing, enteric defensins are novel in that four cryptdins have amino termini which are three to six residues longer than those of leukocyte-derived defensins. ...
