Luminal Conversion and Immunoregulation by Probiotics

Luminal Conversion and Immunoregulation by Probiotics

Beneficial microbes are responsible for the synthesis of nutrients and metabolites that are likely important for the maintenance of mammalian health. Many nutrients and metabolites derived from the gut microbiota by luminal conversion have been implicated in the development, homeostasis and function of innate and adaptive immunity. These factors clearly suggest that intestinal microbiota may in...

[Immunoregulation by iNKT cells].

NKT cells are defined as cells co-expressing of the natural killer receptors such as NK1.1 or NKR-P1A (CD161) and a T cell receptor (TCR). Although NK1.1(+) TCR(+) lymphocytes are heterogeneous, we focus on two distinct T cell subsets express invariant T cell receptor alpha chains, Valpha14-Jalpha18(Valpha14i) and Valpha19-Jalpha33(Valpha19i). Valpha14i NKT cells (Valpha24i NKT cells for human)...

Social Stress and Immunoregulation

Qualified and healthy lifestyle consists of extensivebroad dimensions of physical health, resistance againstdiseases, fast recovery following disease, better socialcommunications, flexibility in facing social problems,better education, better interactions, stress management,transcendental individual and social behavior, as well asmorality. A variety of the contemporary academic studiesand scien...

Immunoregulation by Taenia crassiceps and Its Antigens

Taenia crassiceps is a cestode parasite of rodents (in its larval stage) and canids (in its adult stage) that can also parasitize immunocompromised humans. We have studied the immune response elicited by this helminth and its antigens in mice and human cells, and have discovered that they have a strong capacity to induce chronic Th2-type responses that are primarily characterized by high levels...
