Genetic deficiencies of innate immune signalling in human infectious disease.

30 Oct 2009 The type-1 cytokine (interleukin 12, interleukin 23, interferon gamma, interleukin 17) signalling pathway is triggered during infection by activation of phagocyte-expressed pattern-recognition receptors that recognise specific pathogen-associated ... Read more...

CD1-restricted adaptive immune responses to Mycobacteria in human group 1 CD1 transgenic mice.

3 Oct 2009 Group 1 CD1 (CD1a, CD1b, and CD1c)-restricted T cells recognize mycobacterial lipid antigens and are found at higher frequencies in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)-infected individuals. However, their role and dynamics during infection remain ... Read more...

Femoropopliteal prosthetic bypass graft infection due to Mycobacterium abscessus localized by FDG-PET/CT scan.

29 Sep 2009 A patient with postvascular graft placement presented with bacteremia but no localizing symptoms. Our standard infected graft workup of computed tomography (CT) scan, ultrasound scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, and additional laboratory ... Read more...

Alternative terms: Mycobacterium;

Allowable Qualifiers: classification; cytology; drug effects; enzymology; genetics; growth & development; immunology; isolation & purification; metabolism; pathogenicity; physiology; radiation effects; ultrastructure; chemistry; virology;
