Interleukin-17 in host defence against bacterial, mycobacterial and fungal pathogens.
The mammalian immune system is intricately regulated, allowing for potent pathogen-specific immunity to be rapidly activated in response to infection with a broad and diverse array of potential pathogens. As a result of their ability to differentiate into distinct effector lineages, CD4 T cells significantly contribute to pathogen-specific adaptive immune responses. Through the production of ef...
متن کاملEffects of cytokines on mycobacterial phagosome maturation.
One of the major mechanisms permitting intracellular pathogens to parasitize macrophages is their ability to alter maturation of the phagosome or affect its physical integrity. These processes are opposed by the host innate and adaptive immune defenses, and in many instances mononuclear phagocytes can be stimulated with appropriate cytokines to restrict the growth of the microorganisms within t...
متن کاملPhagosome Neutrality in Host Defense
Activation of proteases in the phagosomes of neutrophils occurs by neutralization of the phagosomal pH by NADPH oxidase. In this issue, Savina et al. (2006) show that dendritic cell phagosomes also recruit NADPH oxidase but with different results. Here, the neutralization of phagosomal pH reduces protease activity, which preserves antigens for crosspresentation on class I MHC molecules.
متن کاملHost defence mechanisms against Japanese encephalitis virus infection in mice.
The role of antibody and cell-mediated immunity in the resistance to Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infection was studied in adult mice. Passively transferred antibodies obtained up to 2 weeks after primary infection protected the recipient mice against a challenge infection with JEV. Antibody obtained at 4 or 5 weeks failed to protect despite the presence of high titres of neutralizing anti...
متن کاملFalse Targets in Defence Strategies against Intentional Attacks
The paper presents a generalized model of damage caused to a complex multistate series-parallel system by intentional attacks. The model takes into account the defence strategy that presumes separation and protection of system elements and deployment of false targets. The defence strategy optimization methodology is suggested, based on the assumption that the attacker tries to maximize the expe...
