Innate Immunity to Leishmania Infection: Within Phagocytes
Infection by Leishmania takes place in the context of inflammation and tissue repair. Besides tissue resident macrophages, inflammatory macrophages and neutrophils are recruited to the infection site and serve both as host cells and as effectors against infection. Recent studies suggest additional important roles for monocytes and dendritic cells. This paper addresses recent experimental findin...
متن کاملNovel cross-talk within the IKK family controls innate immunity.
Members of the IKK {IκB [inhibitor of NF-κB (nuclear factor κB)] kinase} family play a central role in innate immunity by inducing NF-κB- and IRF [IFN (interferon) regulatory factor]-dependent gene transcription programmes required for the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and IFNs. However, the molecular mechanisms that activate these protein kinases and their complement of physiologica...
متن کاملInnate immunity
From the discovery of antibodies in the late nineteenth century until very recently, the focus of most research in immunology has been the so-called adaptive immune response. 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 کاملInnate immunity.
Recent years have witnessed an explosion of interest in the innate immune system. Questions about how the innate immune system senses infection and empowers a protective immune response are being answered at the molecular level. These basic science discoveries are being translated into a more complete understanding of the central role innate immunity plays in the pathogenesis of many human infe...
متن کاملSurviving innate immunity.
In a complex environment, higher organisms face the constant threat of microbial infection. To defend against this onslaught of potential pathogens, all known members of the plant and animal kingdoms use an innate immune system. A key component of innate immunity is the production of small, cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs). In mammals, recent discoveries from gene therapy and gene-knocko...
