Cryptococcosis is an invasive fungal disease caused by Cryptococcus neoformans and the closely related species C. gattii. The severe form of the disease, cryptococcal meningitis (CM), is rapidly fatal without treatment. Although typically a disease of immunocompromised (especially HIV-positive) individua...
Resumen La tuberculosis es un problema de salud mundial exacerbado por la ausencia de una vacuna eficaz y la emergencia de cepas multidrogo resistentes. La inmunidad innata, clave en la susceptibilidad a tuberculosis, está asociada a polimorfismos genéticos en TLRs (Toll Like Receptors), VDR (Vitamin D...
ABSTRACT The effect of the ethanolic extract of propolis (EEP) on Aeromonas hydrophila was analyzed by determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Then, the effects of crude propolis powder (CPP) on growth, hemato-immune parameters of the Nile tilapia, as well as its effects on resistance to...

As doenças autoinflamatórias sistêmicas são um grupo de doenças raras recentemente descritas, mas que vêm ganhando espaço no cenário clínico. Caracterizam-se por alterações da imunidade inata, portanto sem a presença de linfócito T autorreator ou autoanticorpo, e que respondem ao bloqueio de...

RESUMEN Introduction: Variants in genes encoding for HIV-1 co-receptors and their natural ligands have been individually associated to natural resistance to HIV-1 infection. However, the simultaneous presence of these variants has been poorly studied. Objective: To evaluate the association of single a...

Dengue fever, caused by dengue virus (DENV) infection, is one of the most important diseases in the world, not only due to the high morbidity/mortality rates it causes, but also because of its great economic and social impact in tropical/subtropical countries. DENV infection has a wide range of clinical ...
The present study evaluated the impact that orchiectomy, a routine but painful intervention in bovine husbandry, can cause on pulmonary immunity. To identify whether orchiectomy can impair lung defense, analyses of serum cortisol concentration and of alveolar macrophage and their function (phagocytosis a...
As doenças autoinflamatórias são doenças inflamatórias raras cujo cerne imunológico baseia-se na imunidade inata. A maioria das doenças autoinflamatórias tem início na idade pediátrica, mas pouco se sabe sobre as doenças que se iniciam na vida adulta. O diagnóstico é feito por exclusão, e, ...
Abstract IL-10 expressing regulatory B cells (B10) play a key role in immune system balance by limiting excessive inflammatory responses. Effects of toll-like receptor signaling and co-stimulatory molecules on B10 activity during innate and adaptive immune responses are not fully understood. Objective ...
