Enhanced antibody responses induced by Candida albicans in mice.
Candida albicans may immunopotentiate antibody responses in mice to antigens unrelated to the fungus. This effect occurred best with cell-associated, rather than soluble, antigens. When dead yeasts, cell walls, or a water-soluble candidal polysaccharide were used, immunopotentiation was most dramatic when the antigen and fungal materials were given concomitantly via an intraperitoneal injection...
متن کاملAntibody Response to Human Extracellular HER2 Subdomain Proteins in Mice
Background: In addition to passive immunotherapy using anti-HER2 monoclonal antibodies, active immunotherapy via HER2 targeting is an interesting approach to inducing specific anti-tumor immune responses. We have recently reported the immunogenicity of HER2 subdomains following DNA immunization and HER2 protein boosting. In the present study, we evaluated the immunogenicity of different HER2 ex...
متن کامل"Emergency" granulopoiesis in G-CSF-deficient mice in response to Candida albicans infection.
Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a glycoprotein believed to play an important role in regulating granulopoiesis both at steady state and during an "emergency" situation. Generation of G-CSF and G-CSF receptor-deficient mice by gene targeting has demonstrated unequivocally the importance of G-CSF in the regulation of baseline granulopoiesis. This study attempted to define the phy...
متن کاملImmune responses to Candida albicans in genetically distinct mice.
Mice from six genetically distinct strains were examined for their immune responses to Candida albicans in in vitro and in vivo assays, and naive mice and mice immunized with the fungus were challenged intravenously with three different doses of C. albicans to determine differences in susceptibility. Naive mice from the six groups showed substantial differences in resistance to challenge based ...
متن کاملFemale sex hormones regulate the Th17 immune response to sperm and Candida albicans.
STUDY QUESTION What role do female sex hormones play in the antisperm immune response? SUMMARY ANSWER We found that sperm induce a Th17 immune response and that estradiol down-regulates the antisperm Th17 response by dendritic cells. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Estradiol down-regulates the immune response to several pathogens and impairs the triggering of dendritic cell maturation by microbial pr...
