Immunity and tolerance to infections in experimental hematopoietic transplantation.
Resistance and tolerance are two types of host defense mechanisms that increase fitness in response to fungi. Several genetic polymorphisms in pattern recognition receptors, most remarkably Toll-like receptors (TLRs), have been described to influence resistance and tolerance to aspergillosis in distinct clinical settings. TLRs on dendritic cells pivotally contribute in determining the balance b...
متن کاملDepressed malarial immunity in pregnant mice.
A proportion of mice solidly immune to the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei exhibited a pregnancy-associated depressed immunity with a transient or even lethal recrudescence.
متن کاملFact or hypothesis: concomitant immunity in taeniid cestode infections
Sustained research efforts over the last 50 years have revealed a considerable amount of information about immunity to taeniid cestode infections in the parasites' intermediate hosts. As a product of this research, a series of effective recombinant vaccines have been developed which have no parallel in any other group of parasitic organisms. There are, however, many important aspects relating t...
متن کاملSevere Malarial Anemia: Innate Immunity and Pathogenesis
Greater than 80% of malaria-related mortality occurs in sub-Saharan Africa due to infections with Plasmodium falciparum. The majority of P. falciparum-related mortality occurs in immune-naïve infants and young children, accounting for 18% of all deaths before five years of age. Clinical manifestations of severe falciparum malaria vary according to transmission intensity and typically present as...
متن کاملSugar or Fat?—Metabolic Requirements for Immunity to Viral Infections
The realization that an intricate link exists between the metabolic state of immune cells and the nature of the elicited immune responses has brought a dramatic evolution to the field of immunology. We will focus on how metabolic reprogramming through the use of glycolysis and fatty-acid oxidation (sugar or fat) regulates the capacity of immune cells to mount robust and effective immune respons...
