The Innate Immune System in Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause for dementia in the world. It is characterized by two biochemically distinct types of protein aggregates: amyloid β (A β ) peptide in the forms of parenchymal amyloid plaques and congophilic amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and aggregated tau protein in the form of intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). Several risk factors have been discovered that a...
متن کاملPrion Disease and the Innate Immune System
Prion diseases or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies are a unique category of infectious protein-misfolding neurodegenerative disorders. Hypothesized to be caused by misfolding of the cellular prion protein these disorders possess an infectious quality that thrives in immune-competent hosts. While much has been discovered about the routing and critical components involved in the peripher...
متن کاملThe innate immune system
The innate immune system ; is an important subsystem of the overall immune response system that comprises the cells and mechanisms that defend the host from infection by other organisms. The cells of the innate system recognize and respond to pathogens in a generic way, but, unlike the adaptive immune system, the system does not confer long-lasting or protective immunity to the host. Innate imm...
متن کاملThe innate immune system in cystic fibrosis lung disease.
The Journal of Clinical Investigation | February 1999 | Volume 103 | Number 3 303 The story of cystic fibrosis (CF) research over the last decade has provided important lessons about the power and limitations of positional cloning of disease genes, the understanding of pathogenesis, and the development of new therapies. Studies in the 1980s identified defects in the chloride conductance propert...
متن کاملInnate and adaptive immune requirements for induction of autoimmune demyelinating disease by molecular mimicry.
Molecular mimicry is the main postulated mechanism by which infectious agents induce autoimmune disease. A number of animal models have been utilized to establish a link between molecular mimicry and autoimmunity. However, a model of infectious disease whereby a natural pathogen expressing a known mimic epitope can induce autoimmunity to a known self-antigen leading to clinical autoimmune disea...
