Manipulation of the innate immune response and evasion of macrophage host defense mechanisms by Francisella tularensis. has been approved by the Examining Committee for the thesis requirement for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology at the May 2014 graduation. ii To my parents, Joseph and Nancy Long, for your continuous love, support, and encouragement in all that I...
متن کاملMechanisms used by human papillomaviruses to escape the host immune response.
The greatest risk factor for the development of cervical and other cancers that have been linked to the human papillomavirus (HPV) family is the persistence of the virus. To persist for the decades required to develop HPV-related cancers, the virus must escape host immunity. HPV is a simple DNA virus that has evolved to escape immune attack by a combination of stealth and interference. This rev...
متن کاملManipulation of NKG2D Ligands by Cytomegaloviruses: Impact on Innate and Adaptive Immune Response
NKG2D is a potent activating receptor expressed on NK cells, NKT cells, γδ T cells, and CD8 T cells. NKG2D recognizes cell surface molecules structurally related to MHC class I proteins induced by infection or other type of cellular stress. The engagement of NKG2D leads to NK cell cytotoxicity and cytokine secretion or to a co-stimulation of CD8 T cells. Both human and mouse cytomegalovirus (CM...
متن کاملGalectin-3 regulates the innate immune response of human monocytes.
Galectin-3 is a β-galactoside-binding lectin widely expressed on epithelial and hematopoietic cells, and its expression is frequently associated with a poor prognosis in cancer. Because it has not been well-studied in human infectious disease, we examined galectin-3 expression in mycobacterial infection by studying leprosy, an intracellular infection caused by Mycobacterium leprae. Galectin-3 w...
متن کاملCortisol Biosynthesis in the Human Ocular Surface Innate Immune Response
Innate immune responses have a critical role in regulating sight-threatening ocular surface (OcS) inflammation. While glucocorticoids (GCs) are frequently used to limit tissue damage, the role of intracrine GC (cortisol) bioavailability via 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) in OcS defense, remains unresolved. We found that primary human corneal epithelial cells (PHCEC), fib...
