متن کاملSoluble Host Defense Lectins in Innate Immunity to Influenza Virus
Host defenses against viral infections depend on a complex interplay of innate (nonspecific) and adaptive (specific) components. In the early stages of infection, innate mechanisms represent the main line of host defense, acting to limit the spread of virus in host tissues prior to the induction of the adaptive immune response. Serum and lung fluids contain a range of lectins capable of recogni...
متن کاملSalt-soluble lectins of corn grain.
Lectins extracted from corn (Zea mays L.) kernel with Tris-HCl buffer pH 7.5 were isolated from the crude extract by affinity chromatography on Sepharose 6B-N-acetyl-d-galactosamine and Sepharose 6B-methylalpha-d-mannoside, and also by lectin affinity chromatography using concanavalin A and Lens culinaris lectin as ligands. According to preferential monosaccharide specificity, salt-soluble lect...
متن کاملAntifungal Host Defense Peptides
Fungi infect billions of people every year, yet their contribution to the global burden of disease is largely unrecognized and the repertoire of antifungal agents is rather limited. Thus, treatment of life-threatening invasive fungal infections is still based on drugs discovered several decades ago. In addition, recent data on resistance emergence of fungi emphasize the urgent need for novel an...
متن کاملPulmonary host defense mechanisms.
T he major function of the respiratory system is to procure oxygen from the external environment and to eliminate carbon dioxide from the body at rates required by tissue metabolism. Unfortunately, ambient inspired air contains not only oxygen which is vital to survival, but also noxious gases and a multitude of particulates, including viable microorganisms, which the lungs must exclude to main...
