Reexamining Some Holy Grails of Data Provenance
We reconsider some of the explicit and implicit properties that underlie well-established definitions of data provenance semantics. Previous work on comparing provenance semantics has mostly focused on expressive power (does the provenance generated by a certain semantics subsume the provenance generated by other semantics) and on understanding whether a semantics is insensitive to query rewrit...
متن کاملVaccines to prevent systemic mycoses: holy grails meet translational realities.
In this issue of the Journal, Spellberg et al. [1] report that immunization with a recombinant protein (rAls3p-N) mixed with aluminum hydroxide gel (Alhydrogel) can protect mice from a lethal candidal infection. This is an extension of their original finding of protection resulting from this and related Als recombinant proteins when used with Freund’s adjuvant. From a purely immunologic perspec...
متن کاملAnionic antimicrobial peptide-lysozyme interactions in innate pulmonary immunity.
The respiratory tract contains numerous antimicrobial factors necessary for normal innate pulmonary defense. Although many of these molecules reside in airway surface liquid (ASL) simultaneously, little information exists concerning antagonistic, additive, or synergistic interactions. Since both cationic lysozyme and anionic antimicrobial peptides (AP) are found in high concentrations in ASL, t...
متن کاملNLRs: Sentinels of innate immunity or cancer culprits?
The intersections between innate immunity and cancer have been investigated for decades, with widespread acceptance that chronic inflammation contributes to the pathogenesis or progression of several types of malignancies. Numerous mediators of innate immune responses have been connected to tumor risk through genetic, molecular, and cellular analysis [1]. The NACHT and Leucine Rich Repeat domai...
متن کاملInnate immunity
From the discovery of antibodies in the late nineteenth century until very recently, the focus of most research in immunology has been the so-called adaptive immune response. Adaptive immune responses are highly specific for a given microorganism and it is the T and B lymphocytes of the adaptive immune response, and the antibodies produced by the B lymphocytes, that are responsible for lasting ...
