Protective Immunity Against Cryptococcus Neoformans Infection
Cryptococcus neoformans, the etiological agent of cryptococcosis, is an occasional opportunistic fungal pathogen of immune competent individuals. However, it is a relatively frequent cause of life-threatening meningoencephalitis and pulmonary infections in immunosuppressed hosts and is a leading mycological cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with AIDS in most parts of the world. Th...
متن کاملProtective Immunity against Infection with Mycoplasma haemofelis
Hemoplasmas are potentially zoonotic mycoplasmal pathogens, which are not consistently cleared by antibiotic therapy. Mycoplasma haemofelis is the most pathogenic feline hemoplasma species. The aim of this study was to determine how cats previously infected with M. haemofelis that had recovered reacted when rechallenged with M. haemofelis and to characterize the immune response following de nov...
متن کاملECOLOGICAL IMMUNOLOGY Disease ecologymeets ecological immunology: understanding the links between organismal immunity and infection dynamics in natural populations
1. Ecological immunology and disease ecology are two relatively young disciplines that apply ecological approaches and principles to traditionally non-ecological fields. In both cases, an ecological perspective has allowed new insights to emerge by focusing attention on variation over space and time, and by emphasizing the role of the environment in shaping individual responses and the outcome ...
متن کاملAdaptive immunity in cancer immunology and therapeutics
The vast genetic alterations characteristic of tumours produce a number of tumour antigens that enable the immune system to differentiate tumour cells from normal cells. Counter to this, tumour cells have developed mechanisms by which to evade host immunity in their constant quest for growth and survival. Tumour-associated antigens (TAAs) are one of the fundamental triggers of the immune respon...
متن کاملImmunity and vaccines against sexually transmitted Chlamydia trachomatis infection.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim is to review recent findings on immunity and vaccine development to Chlamydia trachomatis. RECENT FINDINGS There is increasing knowledge on the interactions between C. trachomatis and infected host cells. During genital infection the organism avoids generating protective immunity but immune responses to a number of chlamydial proteins have been associated with reprod...
