متن کاملInnate and acquired immunity
• The cells of the immune system are divided into lymphoid and myeloid lineages. The former include T lymphocytes and their subsets identified by CD markers, B lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells. The myeloid lineage includes the neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils as well as the monocyte/ macrophage series and platelets. • Innate immunity depends on physical, physiological and chemica...
متن کاملInnate and acquired bacteriophage-mediated immunity
We recently described a novel, non-host-derived, phage-mediated immunity active at mucosal surfaces, the main site of pathogen entry in metazoans. In that work, we showed that phage T4 adheres to mucus glycoproteins via immunoglobulin-like domains displayed on its capsid. This adherence positions the phage in mucus surfaces where they are more likely to encounter and kill bacteria, thereby bene...

متن کاملDendritic cells at the interface of innate and acquired immunity: the role for epigenetic changes.
Dendritic cells (DC) are known to be essential immune cells in innate immunity and in the initiation of adaptive immunity. The shaping of adaptive immunity by innate immunity is dependent on DC unique cellular functions and DC-derived effector molecules such as cytokines and chemokines. Thus, it is not surprising that numerous studies have identified alterations in DC number, function, and subs...
