Immunity in plants and animals: common ends through different means using similar tools
(Elsevier B.V., 2002-05-01)
A comparative approach is potentially useful for understanding the role of mammal innate immunity role in stimulating adaptive immunity as well as the relationship between these two types of immune strategies. Considerable ...
HNSCC subverts PBMCs to secrete soluble products that promote tumor cell proliferation
(Impact Journals Llc, 2017-09-05)
The immune system detects shifts from homeostasis and eliminates altered cells. However, neoplastic cells can modulate the host response to escape immunosurveillance thereby allowing tumor progression. Head and neck squamous ...
CELL-MEDIATED AND HUMORAL IMMUNE-RESPONSES IN IMMUNIZED AND OR DERMATOBIA-HOMINIS INFESTED RABBITS
(Elsevier B.V., 1993-03-01)
The cell-mediated and humoral immune response of rabbits to antigens from larvae of Dermatobia hominis were analyzed by leucocyte migration inhibition factor assay (MIF), immunodiffusion (ID) and passive hemagglutination ...
Leishmania (Viannia) shawi purified antigens confer protection against murine cutaneous leishmaniasis
(Springer Basel Ag, 2012-03-01)
Leishmania (Viannia) shawi was characterized only recently, and few studies concerning the immunogenic and protective properties of its antigens have been performed. The present study aimed to evaluate the protective ...
Immunology of Dermatophytosis
(SPRINGER, 2008)
The immune response to infection by dermatophytes ranges from a non-specific host mechanism to a humoral and cell-mediated immune response. The currently accepted view is that a cell-mediated immune response is responsible ...
The energetic cost of mounting an immune response for Pallas's long-tongued bat (Glossophaga soricina)
(Peerj Inc, 2018-06-05)
The acute phase response (APR) is the first line of defense of the vertebrate immune system against pathogens. Mounting an immune response is believed to be energetically costly but direct measures of metabolic rate during ...
Immune Response to the Rhodococcus equi infection in high and low antibody-producing mice (selection IV-A)
(2005-11-10)
Rhodococcus equi is a Gram-positive, facultative intracellular bacterium which infects macrophages and causes rhodococcal pneumonia and enteritis in foals. Recently, this agent has been recognized as an opportunistic ...
Immune response and serum bactericidal activity against Brucella ovis elicited using a short immunization schedule with the polymeric antigen BLSOmp31 in rams.
(Elsevier Science, 2013-04)
Brucella ovis is the etiologic agent of ovine brucellosis. The control measures for this disease are periodical diagnosis by serological tests and/or bacteriological culture and culling of positive animals. Vaccination ...
The neonatal immune system: immunomodulation of infections in early life
(EXPERT REVIEWSLONDON, 2012)
The innate and adaptive immune responses in neonates are usually functionally impaired when compared with their adult counterparts. The qualitative and quantitative differences in the neonatal immune response put them at ...
Immune Response Towards Snake Venoms
(2011)
The immune response involves a complex repertoire of innate and adaptive responses to foreign agents in the organism. The present review focuses on the immune response to snake venoms, including those occurring in snakebite ...
