Peritoneal macrophages are one of the most studied macrophage populations in the body,
yet the composition, developmental origin and mechanisms governing the maintenance of …

Background The DiGeorge syndrome, the most common of the microdeletion syndromes,
affects multiple organs, including the heart, the nervous system, and the kidney. It is caused by …

2429 samples of foodstuffs were examined for the presence of verocytotoxigenic Escherichia
coli O157 (VTEC O157) by means of immunomagnetic separation (IMS) over a 2-year …

Liposomes containing monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) have previously exhibited
considerable potency and safety in human trials with a variety of candidate vaccines, including …

Background In the context of kidney transplantation, genomic incompatibilities between
donor and recipient may lead to allosensitization against new antigens. We hypothesized that …

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) mediates mucosal responses to food antigens and the intestinal
microbiome and is involved in susceptibility to mucosal pathogens, celiac disease, inflammatory …

Natural killer (NK) cells limit viral replication by direct recognition of infected cells, antibody-dependent
cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), and releasing cytokines. Although growing evidence …

Liposomal lipid A is an effective adjuvant for the delivery of antigens and for the induction of
both cellular and humoral immunity. In this study, we demonstrate that following the third …

Vaccine development efforts will be guided by algorithms that predict immunogenic epitopes.
Such prediction methods rely on classification-based algorithms that are trained against …

The murine serous cavities contain a rare and enigmatic population of short‐lived F4/80 lo
MHCII + macrophages but what regulates their development, survival, and fate is unclear. …
