Immunity and tolerance to fungi in hematopoietic transplantation : principles a...
Carvalho, Agostinho; Cunha, Cristina; Bozza, Silvia; Moretti, Silvia; Massi-Benedetti, Cristina; Bistoni, Francesco; Aversa, Franco; Romani, LuiginaResistance and tolerance are two complementary host defense mechanisms that increase fitness in response to low-virulence fungi. Resistance is meant to reduce pathogen burden during infection through innate and adaptive immune mechanisms, whereas tolerance mitigates the substantial cost of resistance to host fitness through a multitude of anti-inflammatory mechanisms, including immunological tolerance. In exper...
CD4+ T cell vaccination overcomes defective cross-presentation of fungal antige...
Luca, Antonella De; Iannitti, Rossana G.; Bozza, Silvia; Beau, Remi; Casagrande, Andrea; D’Angelo, Carmen; Moretti, Silvia; Cunha, CristinaAspergillus fumigatus is a model fungal pathogen and a common cause of infection in individuals with the primary immunodeficiency chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). Although primarily considered a deficiency of innate immunity, CGD is also linked to dysfunctional T cell reactivity. Both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells mediate vaccine-induced protection from experimental aspergillosis, but the molecular mechanisms leadi...
