Mucosal immunology and models of mucosal HIV infection.
The mucosa associated lymphoid tissue regulates and coordinates immune responses against mucosal pathogens. Mucosal tissues are the major targets exposed to HIV during transmission. In this paper we describe in vitro models of HIV mucosal infection using human explants to investigate target cells within this tissue.

متن کاملMucosal Immunology and Oral Vaccination
The mucosal surfaces of the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts represent the principal portals of entry for most infectious agents. Hence, the development of vaccination strategies capable of inducing protective immune responses at the mucosal sites is a priority. Since the mucosal surfaces are exposed to a wide variety of antigens, the mucosal immune system has to discriminate between har...
متن کاملMucosal Immunology of Food Allergy
Food allergies are increasing in prevalence at a higher rate than can be explained by genetic factors, suggesting a role for as yet unidentified environmental factors. In this review, we summarize the state of knowledge about the healthy immune response to antigens in the diet and the basis of immune deviation that results in immunoglobulin E (IgE) sensitization and allergic reactivity to foods...
متن کاملInitial HIV mucosal infection and dendritic cells
» DCs thus represent an ideal vehicle to be hijacked by HIV to gain transport to T cells. « HIV hijacks the body’s immune system to have itself delivered to T cells in which it can explosively replicate. It does this partly by subverting the function of various types of dendritic cells (DCs) that are present in many of the tissues exposed to the external environment. To date, however, it has be...
