BTK: sensing pathogenic nucleic acids
We are under constant threats from pathogens. A failure to initiate an appropriate immune response will lead to an immunocompromised state. Our innate immune system could sense foreign nucleic acids from parasites, viruses, fungi and bacteria. This is achieved through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) on innate cells such as macrophages that recognise different pathogen-associated molecular ...
متن کاملOligonucleotide-templated reactions for sensing nucleic acids.
Oligonucleotide-templated reactions are useful for applying nucleic acid sensing. Various chemistries for oligonucleotide-templated reaction have been reported so far. Major scientific interests are focused on the development of signal amplification systems and signal generation systems. We introduce the recent advances of oligonucleotide-templated reaction in consideration of the above two poi...
متن کاملPotentiometric sensing of nucleic acids using chemically modified nanopores.
Unlike the overwhelming majority of nanopore sensors that are based on the measurement of a transpore ionic current, here we introduce a potentiometric sensing scheme and demonstrate its application for the selective detection of nucleic acids. The sensing concept uses the charge inversion that occurs in the sensing zone of a nanopore upon binding of negatively charged microRNA strands to posit...
متن کاملInnate immunity in systemic lupus erythematosus: sensing endogenous nucleic acids.
Historically, the involvement of complement - an integral part of the innate immune response- in the pathogenesis of lupus was recognized early. Emphasis shifted quickly however to the specific immunity with scientists concentrating on the adaptive immune response (autoantigens, autoreactive T cells and autoantibodies). Similarly, the detection of interferon alpha (IFNα), another key mediator o...
متن کاملRecognition of pathogen-associated nucleic acids by endosomal nucleic acid-sensing toll-like receptors.
Foreign nucleic acids, the essential signature molecules of invading pathogens that act as danger signals for host cells, are detected by endosomal nucleic acid-sensing toll-like receptors (TLRs) 3, 7, 8, 9, and 13. These TLRs have evolved to recognize 'non-self' nucleic acids within endosomal compartments and rapidly initiate innate immune responses to ensure host protection through induction ...
