Cell-Mediated Defense against Infection
e principal function of the mammalian immune system is to combat infectious diseases. Immune responses to antigens and microbial pathogens are divided into those mediated by cells (i.e., cell-mediated immunity) and those mediated by antibodies (i.e., humoral immunity). e T lymphocyte, the “central player” in cell-mediated immunity, provides antigen specicity and orchestrates the antimicrobia...
متن کاملDefense Mechanisms of Hepatocytes Against Burkholderia pseudomallei
The Gram-negative facultative intracellular rod Burkholderia pseudomallei causes melioidosis, an infectious disease with a wide range of clinical presentations. Among the observed visceral abscesses, the liver is commonly affected. However, neither this organotropism of B. pseudomallei nor local hepatic defense mechanisms have been thoroughly investigated so far. Own previous studies using elec...
متن کاملMacrophage defense mechanisms against intracellular bacteria
Macrophages and neutrophils play a decisive role in host responses to intracellular bacteria including the agent of tuberculosis (TB), Mycobacterium tuberculosis as they represent the forefront of innate immune defense against bacterial invaders. At the same time, these phagocytes are also primary targets of intracellular bacteria to be abused as host cells. Their efficacy to contain and elimin...
متن کاملCD209(+) macrophages mediate host defense against Propionibacterium acnes.
Propionibacterium acnes is a major etiological factor of acne, triggering an inflammatory response in part through the activation of TLR2. In this study, we demonstrate that activation of peripheral blood monocytes with P. acnes in vitro induced their differentiation into two distinct innate immune cell subsets, CD209(+) macrophages and CD1b(+) dendritic cells. Furthermore, P. acnes induced exp...
متن کاملEndogenous Cellular MicroRNAs Mediate Antiviral Defense against Influenza A Virus
The reciprocal interaction between influenza virus and host microRNAs (miRNAs) has been implicated in the regulation of viral replication and host tropism. However, the global roles of the cellular miRNA repertoire and the mechanisms of miRNA-mediated antiviral defense await further elucidation. In this study, we systematically screened 297 cellular miRNAs from human and mouse epithelial cells ...
