Candida parapsilosis is an important, emerging opportunistic fungal pathogen. Highly mannosylated fungal cell wall proteins are initial contact points with host immune systems. In Candida albicans, Och1 is a Golgi α1,6-mannosyltransferase that plays a key role in the elaboration...

A Type II Arabinogalactan from Anoectochilus formosanus for G-CSF Production in Macrophages and Leukopenia Improvement in CT26-Bearing Mice Treated with 5-Fluorouracil.

Nature. 2012 Oct 04;490(7418):74-6. doi: 10.1038/nature11469.

Some planetary systems harbour debris disks containing planetesimals such as asteroids and comets. Collisions between such bodies produce small dust particles, the spectral features of which reveal their composition and, hence, that of their parent bodies. A measurement of...

Potentiation of Innate Immunity by β-Glucans.

Mycobiology

Seong SK, Kim HW.
PMID: 23956643
Mycobiology. 2010 Jun;38(2):144-8. doi: 10.4489/MYCO.2010.38.2.144. Epub 2010 Jun 30.

β-Glucans have been known to exhibit antitumor activities by potentiating host immunity by an unknown mechanism. The C-type lectin dectin-1, a β-glucan receptor, is found on the macrophage and can recognize various β-glucans. Previously, we demonstrated the presence of...

P17, an Original Host Defense Peptide from Ant Venom, Promotes Antifungal Activities of Macrophages through the Induction of C-Type Lectin Receptors Dependent on LTB4-Mediated PPARγ Activation.

Frontiers in immunology

Benmoussa K, Authier H, Prat M, AlaEddine M, Lefèvre L, Rahabi MC, Bernad J, Aubouy A, Bonnafé E, Leprince J, Pipy B, Treilhou M, Coste A.

Front Immunol. 2017 Nov 30;8:1650. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2017.01650. eCollection 2017.

Despite the growing knowledge with regard to the immunomodulatory properties of host defense peptides, their impact on macrophage differentiation and on its associated microbicidal functions is still poorly understood. Here, we demonstrated that the P17, a new cationic antimicrobial...

Deconvolution of the Response to Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Reveals NF-κB-Induced Cytokines As Autocrine Mediators of Innate Immunity.

Frontiers in immunology
