Sentence examples for influence host immunity from inspiring English sources

The results indicate that cytokine expression by the invading pathogen can dramatically influence host immunity from a very early stage following infection.

A number of papers have reported expression of homologues of these tomato genes in roots, shoot and leaves of mycorrhizal plants, opening the question whether AM fungi influence host immunity by modulating defense responses [ 82].

Theoreticians increasingly recognize the pivotal influence host immunity exerts on parasite dynamics at both the within-host and epidemiological scales and figuring out the best ways to incorporate host immunity into the trade-off model has been the focus of much recent work (Alizon and van Baalen 2008; Alizon et al. 2009).

This concept – cancer immunosurveillance –named and further developed in the late 1950s by Burnet and Thomas [ 2, 3] was more recently refined by Schreiber and colleagues to reflect the additional influence host immunity has in shaping the immunological phenotype of tumor cells, a concept called cancer immunoediting [ 4].

We next determined if the various strains of C. albicans differentially influenced host immunity by analysing cytokine levels in various tissues at day 10 post infection.

The aims of this study are to investigate in a comparative way: - how parasitism is related to fish life history traits, - whether there is a trade-off between reproduction and immune investments in fish females (i.e. energetic hypothesis) and in males (i.e. immunohandicap hypothesis), - whether parasitism influences host immunity (spleen size) and reproduction (gonad size) in females and males.

Given their increasing importance in influencing host immunity, TLRs have the potential to serve as biomarkers for HCV pathogenesis; just as the C reactive protein is clinically used to assess HIV disease progression, monitoring the levels of specific TLRs could predict the rate of progression of HCV infection.

The drLN is the site of the critical decision between immune activation and tolerance and has a major influence on host immunity.

Our results obtained in two geographically separated animal facilities dismiss a generalizable impact of Nlrp6- and ASC-dependent inflammasomes on the composition of the commensal gut microbiota and highlight the necessity for littermate-controlled experimental design in assessing the influence of host immunity on gut microbial ecology.

Several recent studies have analyzed the influence of host immunity on disease prognosis.

Genome-wide linkage studies have examined genetic influences on host immunity, and include studies of immune response to Mtb [23], IgE levels in asthma [24], and CD4+ and CD8+ cell levels in healthy persons [25].
