Interferons and Interferon Regulatory Factors in Malaria
Malaria is one of the most serious infectious diseases in humans and responsible for approximately 500 million clinical cases and 500 thousand deaths annually. Acquired adaptive immune responses control parasite replication and infection-induced pathologies. Most infections are clinically silent which reflects on the ability of adaptive immune mechanisms to prevent the disease. However, a minor...
متن کاملType I interferons maintain Foxp3 expression and T-regulatory cell functions under inflammatory conditions in mice.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Foxp3(+) T-regulatory cells (Tregs) maintain intestinal homeostasis under conditions of continuous challenge with inflammatory microbes. However, plasticity of the Treg population under certain conditions has been reported; Foxp3(+) Tregs can be converted to Foxp3(-) CD4(+) T cells. METHODS We used mice with a T cell-induced colitis model to study the regulatory role of type...
متن کاملLambda Interferons: New Cytokines with Old Functions
Interferon lambda (IFN-λ) is a member of the class II cytokine family, and like the other members of this family, they are small helical proteins. Since their discovery significant efforts have been made to determine their role in innate and adaptive immunity. Their strong antiviral activity, both in vitro and in vivo, has firmly established their interferon status. However, in contrast to type...
متن کاملInterferons
nterferons, naturally occuring glycoproteins with molecular weights of approximately 20,000 daltons, possess antiviral, antiproliferative, and immune-stimulating properties. They are classified into 3 antigenically distinct forms that are derived from different cell types. Alpha (or) interferons are derived from leukocytes, beta ([3) interferons from fibroblasts, and gamma (/) interferons from ...
متن کاملRegulatory Functions of Biological Membranes
mycoses. In the reviewer's opinion the best papers are those dealing with: recent applications of immunological techniques in the diagnosis of deep mycoses; radiologic patterns of the deep mycoses; mode of action and biologic activity of antifungal antibiotics; and clinical application and side effects of antifungal agents. Clinicians will find these papers to be most helpful. Although anyone a...
