Mucosal Immunity in Mycobacterial Infections Anna Tjärnlund
... Experimental evidence has concluded that the immune response upon an infection can influence the outcome of succeeding infections with other pathogens. Concurrent infections might additionally interfere with responses to vaccinations and have deleterious effects. We developed an in vitro model to s ...

Central thymic tolerance, through the elimination of selfreactive T-cells and the production of ‘‘natural’’ CD4+ regulatory T-cells (Tregs), is the first and essential mechanism for immune regulation and immune tolerance [5]. However, the back-up of the peripheral tolerance system is essential. Ther ...

Subsequently, two members of the nucleotide oligomerization domain (NOD)like receptor family were found to detect PGN monomers, as portions of ...
