Experimental verification and molecular basis of active immunization against fungal pathogens in termites
Termites are constantly exposed to many pathogens when they nest and forage in the field, so they employ various immune strategies to defend against pathogenic infections. Here, we demonstrate that the subterranean termite Reticulitermes chinensis employs active immunization to defend against the entomopathogen Metarhizium anisopliae. Our results showed that allogrooming frequency increased sig...
متن کاملExperiments on Active Immunization against Experimental Poliomyelitis
The results obtained in this investigation indicate that poliomyelitis virus treated with tannin, sodium ricinoleate, or formalin does not constitute a satisfactory immunizing agent in monkeys against the experimental disease.
متن کاملInnate Defense against Fungal Pathogens.
Human fungal infections have been on the rise in recent years and proved increasingly difficult to treat as a result of the lack of diagnostics, effective antifungal therapies, and vaccines. Most pathogenic fungi do not cause disease unless there is a disturbance in immune homeostasis, which can be caused by modern medical interventions, disease-induced immunosuppression, and naturally occurrin...
متن کاملActive immunization of hamsters against experimental infection with Borrelia burgdorferi.
The immunogenicity of a single dose of a whole-cell vaccine of inactivated Borrelia burgdorferi HSF (human spinal fluid isolate) was evaluated. Syrian hamsters were vaccinated subcutaneously and challenged by the intraperitoneal injection of 1,000 50% infectious doses of B. burgdorferi HSF 30 or 90 days postvaccination. Animals were sacrificed 14 days after challenge, and the kidneys and spleen...
