  4. 2. Microbe-induced apoptosis in phagocytic cells and its role in innate immunity

    Author : Robert Blomgran; Olle Stendahl; Limin Zheng; Boris Zhivotovsky; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; apoptosis; cell death; inflammation; innate immunity; microbiology; neutrophil; macrophage; phagocyte; Medical microbiology; Medicinsk mikrobiologi;

    Abstract : Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a controlled process by which aged or damages cells are eliminated in multicellular organisms. Neutrophils, short-lived phagocytes of the innate immune system, are highly equipped effectors that can sense, locate, ingest and kill bacterial pathogens. READ MORE

  5. 3. Activation of professional phagocytes with emphasis on the formyl peptide receptor family

    Author : Jennie Karlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : phagocyte; G-protein coupled receptor; chemoattractant; formyl peptide receptor; reactive oxygen species; calcium;

    Abstract : Phagocytic cells such as neutrophil granulocytes and monocytes are an essential part of our innate immune system and play an important role in the battle against pathogens. G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and more specifically chemoattractant receptors are a vital part in guiding phagocytes towards the site of infection. READ MORE

  6. 4. Yersinia-phagocyte interactions during early infection

    Author : Linda Westermark; Maria Fällman; Joan Mecsas; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Yersinia; dendritic cell; macrophage; neutrophil; T3SS; Infectious Diseases; infektionssjukdomar;

    Abstract : Pathogenic Gram-negative Yersinia species preferentially target and inactivate phagocytic cells of the innate immune defense by translocation of effector Yersinia outer proteins (Yops) into the cells via a type III secretion system. This indicates that inactivation and avoidance of the early innate immune response is an efficient way for Yersinia species to avoid elimination and to cause diseases ranging from mild gastroenteritis (Y.

  7. 5. Inhibition of phagocyte signaling by the Yersinia virulence protein YopH

    Author : Kerstin Andersson; Kerstin Andersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Yersinia pseudotuberculosis evades the immediate immune defense of a host organism by inhibiting bactericidal functions of phagocytes, including phagocytosis, cytokine release, and the oxidative burst. Consequently, this pathogen can survive and multiply in lymphatic tissues. An ensemble of proteins called Yops are involved in the virulence of Y. READ MORE
