Eosinophils are found in abundance in the gut. In this issue of Immunity, Chu et al. (2014) report that eosinophil-deficient mice have impaired intestinal immunoglobulin A production, accompanied by a disrupted mucosal layer and alterations in microbiota d ...

BackgroundThymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is a cytokine primarily produced by epithelial cells, which has been shown to be a potent inducer of T-helper 2 (Th2)-type responses. However, TSLP has pleiotropic effects upon immune cells, and although extens ...

Antibodies and IL-3 support helminth-induced basophil expansion

Nicola Harris, Mario Michael Zaiss, Manuel Kulagin, Tina Herbst

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 ...

Psychobiological Vulnerability to Stress

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Jorge Eduardo Castro Cifuentes

Several psychobiological factors are associated with vulnerability/resilience to stress-induced depression. Emerging evidence indicates behavioral traits, such as anxiety, can be related to depression-like symptoms after exposure to chronic stress. However ...

TAT-based Formal Representation of Medical Guidelines : Imatinib Case-study

Giovanni De Micheli, Alena Simalatsar

Computer-based interpretation of medical guide- lines (GLs) has drawn lots of attention in the past three decades. It is essential to use a formalism for GLs representation that would enable the validation of GLs structural properties, be able to map medic ...

Differential Expression of NLRP3 among Hematopoietic Cells

Manuel Raphael Zenger

Although the importance of the NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in health and disease is well appreciated, a precise characterization of NLRP3 expression is yet undetermined. To this purpose, we generated a knock-in ...

Polyclonal and specific antibodies mediate protective immunity against enteric helminth infection

Nicola Harris, Andrew J. Macpherson

Anti-helminth immunity involves CD4+ T cells, yet the precise effector mechanisms responsible for parasite killing or expulsion remain elusive. We now report an essential role for antibodies in mediating immunity against the enteric helminth Heligmosomoide ...

Effect of microcapsule composition and short-term immunosuppression on intraportal biocompatibility

Jutta Christine Wandrey, David Hunkeler, Dianelys Sainz Vidal

With higher nutrient and oxygen supply and close contact to blood, the portal vein is a possible alternative to the peritoneal cavity for transplantation of encapsulated cells. Data regarding intraportal biocompatibility of microcapsules are lacking. Micro ...
