Macrophage apoptosis in host immunity to mycobacterial infections.
Macrophage apoptosis occurs within the granuloma, which is essential for successful immunity to tuberculosis. In vitro macrophage apoptosis is associated with the killing of intracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A greater understanding of these observations will lead to new immunotherapies and improved vaccine design. The relevant apoptotic stimuli, the anti-mycobacterial mechanisms that th...
متن کاملAllergy and immunity to fungal infections and colonization.
Innate and cell-mediated immunity are considered as the principal defence lines against fungal infections in humans. Most opportunistic mycoses occur in individuals with defective innate and/or adaptive cellular immunity. The morbidity and mortality rates associated with infections caused by fungal pathogens are high, and prevention, diagnosis and treatment of these infections remain quite diff...
متن کاملMycobacterial Infections in Recipients
During a 17-year period (1966-1983), 519 patients received renal allografts at the Johannesburg Hospital. Ten patients developed mycobacterial infections (MBI) in their post-transplant perio4 — a prevalence of 1,7%. Eight were dueto Mycobacteriumtuberculosis (M. tuberculosis); of the remaining two, one was due to Mycobacterium kansasii and one to MycobacteriunT forthuitum. Two patients died as ...

متن کاملCathepsin G and neutrophil elastase contribute to lung-protective immunity against mycobacterial infections in mice.
The neutrophil serine proteases cathepsin G (CG) and neutrophil elastase (NE) are involved in immune-regulatory processes and exert antibacterial activity against various pathogens. To date, their role and their therapeutic potential in pulmonary host defense against mycobacterial infections are poorly defined. In this work, we studied the roles of CG and NE in the pulmonary resistance against ...
