Host responses to alphavirus infectionImmunological Reviews - Tập 225 Số 1 - Trang 27-45 - 2008
Kate D. Ryman, William B. Klimstra
Summary: Members of the Alphavirus genus are classified into New World and Old
World groups based upon their disease characteristics and primary areas of
endemicity. The two groups exhibit noteworthy differences in pathogenesis during
human infection, with Old World viruses primarily causing febrile and
arthritogenic diseases and the New World viruses causing encephalitis. In this
review, we summa... hiện toàn bộ
Indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase in T‐cell tolerance and tumoral immune escapeImmunological Reviews - Tập 222 Số 1 - Trang 206-221 - 2008
Jessica Katz, Alexander J. Muller, George C. Prendergast
Summary: Indoleamine 2, 3‐dioxygenase (IDO) degrades the essential amino acid
tryptophan in mammals, catalyzing the initial and rate‐limiting step in the de
novo biosynthesis nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). Broad evidence
implicates IDO and the tryptophan catabolic pathway in generation of immune
tolerance to foreign antigens in tissue microenvironments. In particular, recent
findings hav... hiện toàn bộ
Conservation and diversification of MHC class I and its related molecules in vertebratesImmunological Reviews - Tập 167 Số 1 - Trang 81-100 - 1999
Keiichiro Hashimoto, Kazuhiko Okamura, Hisateru Yamaguchi, Mitsuru Ototake, Teruyuki Nakanishi, Yoshikazu Kurosaiva
Summary: The elucidation of the complete peptide‐binding domains of the highly
polymorphic shark MHC class I genes offered us an opportunity to examine the
characteristics of their predicted protein products in the light of the latest
advance m the structural studies of the MHC class I molecules. The results
suggest that the fundamental characteristics in the T‐cell recognition of the
MHC class I ... hiện toàn bộ
TIM genes: a family of cell surface phosphatidylserine receptors that regulate innate and adaptive immunityImmunological Reviews - Tập 235 Số 1 - Trang 172-189 - 2010
Gordon J. Freeman, José M. Casasnovas, Dale T. Umetsu, Rosemarie H. DeKruyff
Summary: The TIM (T cell/transmembrane, immunoglobulin, and mucin) gene family
plays a critical role in regulating immune responses, including allergy, asthma,
transplant tolerance, autoimmunity, and the response to viral infections. The
unique structure of TIM immunoglobulin variable region domains allows highly
specific recognition of phosphatidylserine (PtdSer), exposed on the surface of
apopt... hiện toàn bộ
Inflammasomes: guardians of cytosolic sanctityImmunological Reviews - Tập 227 Số 1 - Trang 95-105 - 2009
Mohamed Lamkanfi, Vishva M. Dixit
Summary: The innate immune system is critical in recognizing bacterial and
viral infections to evoke a proper immune response. Certain members of the
intracellular nucleotide‐binding and oligomerization domain (NOD)‐like receptor
(NLR) family detect microbial components in the cytosol and trigger the assembly
of large caspase‐1‐activating complexes termed inflammasomes. Autoproteolytic
maturation... hiện toàn bộ
RNA recognition and signal transduction by RIG‐I‐like receptorsImmunological Reviews - Tập 227 Số 1 - Trang 54-65 - 2009
Mitsutoshi Yoneyama, Takashi Fujita
Summary: Viral infection is detected by cellular sensor molecules as foreign
nucleic acids and initiates innate antiviral responses, including the activation
of proinflammatory cytokines and type I interferon (IFN). Recent identification
of cytoplasmic viral sensors, such as retinoic acid‐inducible gene‐I‐like
receptors (RLRs), highlights their significance in the induction of antiviral
innate im... hiện toàn bộ
Ca2+‐NFATc1 signaling is an essential axis of osteoclast differentiationImmunological Reviews - Tập 231 Số 1 - Trang 241-256 - 2009
Takako Negishi‐Koga, Daniel Metzger
Summary: Osteoclasts are unique, multinucleated giant cells that decalcify and
degrade the bone matrix. They originate from hematopoietic cells and their
differentiation is dependent on a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family cytokine,
receptor activator of nuclear factor‐κB (NF‐κB) ligand (RANKL), as well as
macrophage‐colony stimulating factor (M‐CSF). Recent studies have unveiled the
precise mole... hiện toàn bộ
Comparative and functional genomics of the innate immune system in the malaria vector Anopheles gambiaeImmunological Reviews - Tập 198 Số 1 - Trang 127-148 - 2004
George K. Christophides, Dina Vlachou, Fotis C. Kafatos
Summary: In much of Africa, the mosquito Anopheles gambiae is the major vector
of human malaria, a devastating infectious disease caused by Plasmodium
parasites. Vector and parasite interact at multiple stages and locations, and
the nature and effectiveness of this reciprocal interaction determines the
success of transmission. Many of the interactions engage the mosquito's innate
immunity, a prim... hiện toàn bộ
