Innate immunity in atherosclerosis.
recognition of lipid and glycolipid antigens by CD1d. The finding that CD1d-activating lipids may accumulate in hyperlipidemic subjects supports a role for NK T cells in bridging hyperlipidemia and inflammation [10] . Another immune cell, the Th17 cell producing IL-17, and its role in atherosclerosis has been much debated due to recent apparently conflicting data [11–13] . In the third article,...
متن کاملInnate and adaptive immunity in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.
This review considers critically the evidence for the involvement of mediators of innate and acquired immunity in various stages of atherosclerosis. Rapidly mobilized arms of innate immunity, including phagocytic leukocytes, complement, and proinflammatory cytokines, contribute to atherogenesis. In addition, adaptive immunity, with its T cells, antibodies, and immunoregulatory cytokines, powerf...

Adaptive immune responses are highly specific for a given microorganism and it is the T and B lymphocytes of the adaptive immune response, and the antibodies produced by the B lymphocytes, that are responsible for lasting ...
متن کاملMitochondria in innate immunity.
Mitochondria are cellular organelles involved in host-cell metabolic processes and the control of programmed cell death. A direct link between mitochondria and innate immune signalling was first highlighted with the identification of MAVS-a crucial adaptor for RIGI-like receptor signalling-as a mitochondria-anchored protein. Recently, other innate immune molecules, such as NLRX1, TRAF6, NLRP3 a...
