objective(s) using a cancer murine model of invasive aspergillosis (ia), we investigated the expression of tlr-2, dectin-1 and the level of cytokine production by cd4+ t helper cells in different groups of mice (with or without cancer), also, the effect of invasive aspergillosis on the immune response pattern of cancer mice. materials and methods patterns of susceptibility and resistance to inf...

background macrophages play critical roles in innate immune response in the liver. whether macrophages participate in liver innate immunity against hcv replication is poorly understood objectives the aim of this study was to investigate the role of macrophages in liver innate immunity against hcv replication. conclusions macrophages may play an important role in liver innate immunity against hc...

Radiation therapy is potentially immunogenic yet it rarely generates long-term antitumor effects. We have recently demonstrated that Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) jump-starts the signal transduction and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)-dependent vascularization and regrowth of tumors that recur upon irradiation. We propose that the targeted inhibition of the TLR9/STAT3 signaling axis in myelo...
