Onset of the adaptive immune response in mice infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis is accompanied by slowing of bacterial replication and establishment of a chronic infection. Stabilization of bacterial numbers during the chronic phase of infection is ...
Dentritic cells (DC) are the most potent antigen-presenting cells and play a key role in the induction of effective immune responses, suggesting a novel target for anti-tumor immunotherapy. Paclitaxel (PXL) is a widely used chemotherapeutic, initially char ...
There is an increasing clinical need for vaccines capable of enhancing antigen-specific immune responses and treatments that can induce immunological tolerance toward a single antigen. Here we explore two platforms to enhance either immunization or toleriz ...
Basophils are powerful mediators of Th2 immunity and are present in increased numbers during allergic inflammation and helminth infection. Despite their ability to potentiate Th2 immunity the mechanisms regulating basophil development remain largely unknow ...
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, mos ...
New generation vaccines, which are subunit vaccines, have considerably improved safety profiles, but are often poorly immunogenic, especially when administered through mucosal routes. Also, the diversity of the mechanisms of action of infectious pathogens ...
The efficiency of the adaptive immune system is dependent on the diversity of T- and B-cell receptors, which is created by random rearrangement of receptor gene segments. AmpliCot is an experimental technique that allows the measurement of the diversity of ...
Understanding how human genetic variation impacts individual response to immunogens is fundamental for rational vaccine development. To explore host mechanisms involved in cellular immune responses to the MRKAd5 human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) ...
Similar T helper (Th)2-type immune responses are generated against different helminth parasites, but the mechanisms that initiate Th2 immunity, and the specific immune components that mediate protection against these parasites, can vary greatly. B cells ar ...
Leptin is a pleiotropic hormone proposed to link nutritional status to the development of strong Th1 immunity. Because Mycobacterium tuberculosis control is affected by starvation and diabetes, we studied the role of the leptin receptor in regulating disti ...
