HLA-KIR Interactions and Immunity to Viral Infections
Host genetic factors play a central role in determining the clinical phenotype of human diseases. Association between two polymorphic loci in human genome, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs), and genetically complex infectious disease, particularly those of viral etiology, have been historically elusive. Hence, defining the influence of genetic di...

متن کاملEditorial: Role of HLA and KIR in Viral Infections
The immune system continuously protects its host against pathogens. During viral infections, both innate and adaptive immune cells contribute to an effective immune response. Natural killer (NK) cells can respond quickly to eliminate pathogens and infected cells and suppress dissemination to other tissues. Subsequently, activation of virus-specific CD8 + cytotoxic T cells results in specific ki...
متن کاملVitamin A and immunity to viral, bacterial and protozoan infections.
Studies in animal models and cell lines show that vitamin A and related retinoids play a major role in immunity, including expression of mucins and keratins, lymphopoiesis, apoptosis, cytokine expression, production of antibody, and the function of neutrophils, natural killer cells, monocytes or macrophages, T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes. Recent clinical trials suggest that vitamin A suppleme...
متن کاملInterrelationships of Interferon and Immunity During Viral Infections
Interferon is one determinant of host resistance. The immune responses, cellular or humoral, are other components. Cell-mediated responses appear to be involved in host resistance to certain viral infections, particularly the herpesvirus group and vaccinia virus. It is suggested that immune and interferon responses may complement one another and contribute to host resistance. The relative impor...
