Induction of type I IFNs by intracellular DNA‐sensing pathwaysImmunology and Cell Biology - Tập 90 Số 5 - Trang 474-482 - 2012
Taner Cavlar, Andrea Ablasser, Veit Hornung
A successful antimicrobial immune response involves the coordinate action of cells and soluble factors, with the cytokine family of type I interferons (IFNs) having a central role. Type I IFNs are not only crucial in conferring immediate antimicrobial, most importantly antiviral effects, but they also have an essential role in bridging the innate with the adaptive immune response. Therefor...... hiện toàn bộ
TB vaccines: current status and future perspectivesImmunology and Cell Biology - Tập 87 Số 4 - Trang 279-286 - 2009
Claus Aagaard, Jes Dietrich, Mark Doherty, Peter Andersen
Vaccines against intracellular pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis need to induce strong cellular immune responses. Antigen discovery programs have exploited this and used proteome studies and T‐cell recognition in PPD‐positive individuals to select proteins and after testing for protective efficacy in animals the most promising proteins have been put to...... hiện toàn bộ
Novel adjuvant based on a proteoliposome‐derived cochleate structure containing native lipopolysaccharide as a pathogen‐associated molecular patternImmunology and Cell Biology - Tập 82 Số 6 - Trang 603-610 - 2004

Proteoliposomes (PL) from Neisseria meningitidis B have been widely used as a core antigen for antimeningococcal vaccination. PL contain major outer membrane proteins, LPS and phospholipids, and they induce a strong Th1 immune response, but they have low stability in solution. Attending to the need for new vaccine adjuvants, we developed a highly stable cochleate...... hiện toàn bộ
Activation‐induced cell death: The controversial role of Fas and Fas ligand in immune privilege and tumour counterattackImmunology and Cell Biology - Tập 80 Số 2 - Trang 131-137 - 2002
Stephen G. Maher, Deirdre Toomey, Claire Condron, David Bouchier‐Hayes
Activation‐induced cell death (AICD) is the process by which cells undergo apoptosis in a controlled manner through the interaction of a death factor and its receptor. Programmed cell death can be induced by a number of physiological and pathological factors including Fas (CD95)–Fas ligand (FasL/CD95L) interaction, tumour necrosis factor (TNF), ceramide, and reactive oxygen species (ROS). ...... hiện toàn bộ
Insights into inflammatory bowel disease using Toxoplasma gondii as an infectious triggerImmunology and Cell Biology - Tập 90 Số 7 - Trang 668-675 - 2012
Charlotte E. Egan, Sara Cohen, Eric Denkers
Oral infection of certain inbred mouse strains with the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii triggers inflammatory pathology resembling lesions seen during human inflammatory bowel disease, in particular Crohn's disease (CD). Damage triggered by the parasite is largely localized to the distal portion of the small intestine, and as such is one of only a few models for ilea...... hiện toàn bộ
THE EFFECT OF PHENYLEPHRINE ON EXCRETION OF FLUID AND ELECTROLYTES BY THE PAROTID AND MANDIBULAR GLANDS OF THE RATImmunology and Cell Biology - Tập 57 Số 5 - Trang 555-562 - 1979
JA Young, DI Cook, G.R.D. Jones, Joe McGirr, Campbell H. Thompson
SummaryThe effect has been investigated of the α‐adrenergic agonist, phenylephrine, on excretion of water and electrolytes (Na, K, and HCO3) by the parotid and mandibular glands of the rat. In the mandibular glands the agonist was as effective as acetylcholine (or parasympathetic nerve stimulation) in stimulating secretion, and the electrolyte ...... hiện toàn bộ
Why is effective treatment of asthma so difficult? An integrated systems biology hypothesis of asthmaImmunology and Cell Biology - Tập 87 Số 8 - Trang 601-605 - 2009
Norbert F. Voelkel, Sarah Spiegel
A hypothesis is presented that asthma is not only an airway disease, but that the disease involves the entire lung, and that the chronicity of asthma and asthma exacerbations can perhaps be explained if one considers asthma as a systemic disease. Increased lung—not only airway—vascularity may be the result of the action of angiogenesis factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (V...... hiện toàn bộ
