IL-18 stimulates resistance to an array of pathogens, including intracellular and extracellular bacteria and mycobacteria, and appears to have a protective role during the early, acute phase of mucosal immune response 79, 80.
Although only a small minority are classified as pest species, they nevertheless destroy about a quarter of the world's annual crop production and transmit an impressive array of pathogens of human and veterinary public health importance.
Although brain abscesses ensue in response to a diverse array of pathogens, streptococcal species and Staphylococcus aureus represent the most common aetiological agents of infection in humans.
Since the lungs are in contact with the outer world, they are exposed to a vast array of pathogens, chemicals, gasses, and particles.
An array of pathogens, including knock out and over expression MEP mutants, strongly supported the hypothesis that 4',5'-ODCQA behaves as a designated EPI for the major facilitator super family (MFS) MEPs of the Gram-positive bacteria: S. aureus, and Enterococcus faecalis.
Normal intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) preparations are known to neutralize a wide array of pathogens plus their virulence factors and in addition possess broad anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating activities.
While it may be impossible to predict all immune response influences, the availability of sequence data from the human genome, the human microbiome, and an array of human pathogens and vaccines has made computationally driven exploration of the effects of T cell epitope cross-reactivity now possible.
Plants are under constant challenge from a diverse array of pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, oomycetes, viruses and nematodes [ 1].
Such processes serve as the physical drivers for changing dynamics in patterns of distribution (host and geographic), development, survival, and transmission for an array of pathogens (Kutz et al., 2004, 2005; Hoberg et al., 2008a).
