Immune correlates of protection in human invasive aspergillosis.
Protective immunity against Aspergillus depends on a highly coordinated interaction between the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system. Fungal recognition via pattern recognition receptors, such as pentraxin 3, dectin-1, and Toll-like receptors, leads to complement activation, phagocytosis, and killing of ingested fungi. Aspergillus-specific T-helper 1 and 17 cells produce cytokines such...
متن کاملEffect of Invasive Aspergillosis Infection on the Immune Responses of Cancer Mice
Objective(s) Using a cancer murine model of invasive aspergillosis (IA), we investigated the expression of TLR-2, Dectin-1 and the level of cytokine production by CD4+ T helper cells in different groups of mice (with or without cancer), also, the effect of invasive aspergillosis on the immune response pattern of cancer mice. Materials and Methods Patterns of susceptibility and resistance to ...

SUMMARY Aspergillosis is an infectious disease caused by genus aspergillos species. Aspergilli are ab undant in the environment, they Jive in soil as saprophyte deriving nutrient, from dead plants and animal matters. The genus aspergillos in characterized by the formation of distinctive conidiophores giving rise to conidias which can spread by air and are able to reside on the body surface spe...
متن کاملHuman Genetic Susceptibility to Invasive Aspergillosis
Aspergillosis includes a wide spectrum of diseases caused by fungi of the genus Aspergillus with clinical manifestations that range from colonization (e.g., aspergilloma), to allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, to disseminated forms of infection. Invasive aspergillosis (IA) has been estimated to occur in 10% of acute myeloid leukemia patients during post-induction aplasia or consolidation ...
