Salt, chloride, bleach, and innate host defense.
Salt provides 2 life-essential elements: sodium and chlorine. Chloride, the ionic form of chlorine, derived exclusively from dietary absorption and constituting the most abundant anion in the human body, plays critical roles in many vital physiologic functions, from fluid retention and secretion to osmotic maintenance and pH balance. However, an often overlooked role of chloride is its function...
متن کاملInnate Immune Pathways in Host Defense
The innate immune system is a critical component of host defense against invading microbial pathogens. It is responsible for mounting proper inflammatory and repair responses that contribute to the elimination of the invading pathogen and for instructing the adaptive immune system to develop a prolonged immunity against microbial pathogens. This is accomplished through the regulation of transcr...
متن کاملSubversion and Utilization of Host Innate Defense by Leishmania amazonensis
Infection with Leishmania amazonensis and other members of the Leishmania mexicana complex can lead to diverse clinical manifestations, some of which are relatively difficult to control, even with standard chemotherapy. Diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a rare but severe form, and its clinical hallmark is excessive parasitic growth in infected cells accompanied by profound impairments in ...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Host Defensins – Specific Antibiotic Activities and Innate Defense Modulation
infections heavily relies on strategies which aim to inhibit and kill pathogens with high specificity. These strategies are very successful and antibiotics have contributed to increasing human life expectancy more than any other class of therapeutic drugs. However, antibiotics are losing efficacy as a result of high selection pressure and rapid resistance development. Thus, strategies that rely...
متن کاملPattern recognition receptors in innate immunity, host defense, and immunopathology.
Infection by pathogenic microbes initiates a set of complex interactions between the pathogen and the host mediated by pattern recognition receptors. Innate immune responses play direct roles in host defense during the early stages of infection, and they also exert a profound influence on the generation of the adaptive immune responses that ensue. An improved understanding of the pattern recogn...
