Innate Lymphoid Cells in HIV/SIV Infections
Over the past several years, new populations of innate lymphocytes have been described in mice and primates that are critical for mucosal homeostasis, microbial regulation, and immune defense. Generally conserved from mice to humans, innate lymphoid cells (ILC) have been divided primarily into three subpopulations based on phenotypic and functional repertoires: ILC1 bear similarities to natural...
متن کاملLymphoid-tissue stromal cells coordinate innate defense to cytomegalovirus.
During mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection, the first wave of type I interferon (IFN-I) production peaks at ≈ 8 h. This IFN-I emanates from splenic stromal cells located in the marginal zone (MZ) and requires B cells that express lymphotoxin. The amount of IFN-I produced at these initial times is at least equivalent in magnitude to that produced later by dendritic cells (≈ 36 to 48 h), but t...
متن کاملInnate receptors and cellular defense against pulmonary infections.
In the United States, lung infections consistently rank in the top 10 leading causes of death, accounting for >50,000 deaths annually. Moreover, >140,000 deaths occur annually as a result of chronic lung diseases, some of which may be complicated by an infectious process. The lung is constantly exposed to the environment and is susceptible to infectious complications caused by bacterial, viral,...
متن کاملNatural Killer cells in Innate Defense against Infective Pathogens
Infectious diseases cause over 300 million illnesses and more than 5 million deaths each year worldwide. Understanding how components of the host immune system function to control disease-causing pathogens is critically important to develop strategies for preventing and controlling these diseases. With the discovery of innate immune receptors, we are beginning to appreciate the important role o...
متن کاملInnate Defense against Fungal Pathogens.
Human fungal infections have been on the rise in recent years and proved increasingly difficult to treat as a result of the lack of diagnostics, effective antifungal therapies, and vaccines. Most pathogenic fungi do not cause disease unless there is a disturbance in immune homeostasis, which can be caused by modern medical interventions, disease-induced immunosuppression, and naturally occurrin...
