Identification of an interleukin (IL)-25-dependent cell population that provides IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 at the onset of helminth expulsion.
(Rockefeller University Press, 2006) -
Infection with a helminth parasite prevents experimental colitis via a macrophage-mediated mechanism.
(The American Association of Immunologists, 2007)The propensity of a range of parasitic helminths to stimulate a Th2 or regulatory cell-biased response has been proposed to reduce the severity of experimental inflammatory bowel disease. We examined whether infection with ... -
Specific intracellular adhesion molecule-grabbing nonintegrin R1 is not involved in the murine antibody response to pneumococcal polysaccharides.
(American Society for Microbiology, 2007)treptococcus pneumoniae is a microorganism that frequently causes serious infections in children, the elderly, and immunocompromised patients. We studied whether the specific intracellular adhesion molecule-grabbing ... -
Schistosoma mansoni secretes a chemokine binding protein with anti-inflammatory activity.
(Rockefeller University Press, 2005)The coevolution of humans and infectious agents has exerted selective pressure on the immune system to control potentially lethal infections. Correspondingly, pathogens have evolved with various strategies to modulate and ... -
The C-type lectin SIGNR1 binds Schistosoma mansoni antigens in vitro, but SIGNR1-deficient mice have normal responses during schistosome infection
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009)The de novo immune response to infectious organisms arises from the innate recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by the host's pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). As the generation of type 2 ... -
No effect of an oleoylethanolamide-related phospholipid on satiety and energy intake: a randomised controlled trial of phosphatidylethanolamine
(BioMed Central, 2008)Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) is a phospholipid which is biosynthesized into long chain N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) including oleoylethanolamide (OEA), a known inhibitor of food intake. The aim of this study was to investigate ... -
Herpes zoster in the T1 dermatome presenting with Horner?s syndrome, radicular weakness, and postherpetic neuralgia
(Dove Medical Press, 2008)Herpes zoster is caused by varicella zoster virus infection involving the dorsal root ganglia of spinal nerve roots. This common problem can be associated with multiple neurological abnormalities. We present a case of ... -
Relationships of low serum vitamin D3 with anthropometry and markers of the metabolic syndrome and diabetes in overweight and obesity
(BioMed Central, 2008)Low serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D3 (vitamin D3) is known to perturb cellular function in many tissues, including the endocrine pancreas, which are involved in obesity and type II diabetes mellitus (TIIDM). Vitamin D3 insufficiency ...
