Mucosal immunity.
Food allergy is the manifestation of an abnormal immune response to antigen delivered by the oral route. Normal mucosal immune responses are generally associated with suppression of immunity. A normal mucosal immune response relies heavily on a number of factors: strong physical barriers, luminal digestion of potential antigens, selective antigen sampling sites, and unique T-cell subpopulations...
متن کاملMucosal Immunity and Vaccines
These mucosal surfaces, while located inside the body, are actually a physical barrier between the outside and the sterile interior cavity of the body known as the “systemic” environment. Critical nutrients, oxygen and other molecules are constantly taken up across these mucosal barriers; however, another important function of the mucous is to keep invading pathogens out [15]. Daily these mucou...
متن کاملMucosal Immunology and Oral Vaccination
The mucosal surfaces of the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts represent the principal portals of entry for most infectious agents. Hence, the development of vaccination strategies capable of inducing protective immune responses at the mucosal sites is a priority. Since the mucosal surfaces are exposed to a wide variety of antigens, the mucosal immune system has to discriminate between har...
متن کاملSARS Immunity and Vaccination.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a serious and fatal infectious disease caused by SARS coronavirus (SARS-Cov), a novel human coronavirus. SARS-Cov infection stimulates cytokines (e.g., IL-10, IFN-gamma, IL-1, etc.) expression dramatically, and T lymphocytes and their subsets CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells are decreased after onset of the disease. SARS-specific IgG antibody is generated in...
متن کاملMucosal Immunity and B Cells in Teleosts: Effect of Vaccination and Stress
Fish are subjected to several insults from the environment, which may endanger animal survival. Mucosal surfaces are the first line of defense against these threats, acting as a physical barrier to protect the animal but also functioning as an active immune tissue. Thus, four mucosal-associated lymphoid tissues (MALTs), which lead the immune responses in gut, skin, gills, and nose, have been de...
