Abstract The relative contributions of exposure vs. acquired immunity to the epidemiology human schistosomiasis has been long debated. While there is considerable evidence that humans acquire partial infection, age- and sex-related contact patterns with water bodies contaminated infectious cercarial schistosome larvae also contribute typical epidemiological profiles infection. Here, we develop a novel transmission model incorporates both partially protective “delayed concomitant” immunity—stimulated by dying worms—and host sex-dependent exposure. We use contemporary Bayesian approach fit historical individual data on cercaria, eggs per gram feces, immunoglobulin E antibodies specific Schistosoma mansoni Tegumental-Allergen-Like protein 1 collected from highly endemic community in Uganda, estimating immunity. find variants incorporating or omitting delayed concomitant describe equally well sex-specific immunoepidemiological observed before intervention 18 months after treatment. Over longer time horizons, creates subtle differences during routine mass drug administration may confer resilience against elimination. discuss our findings broader context immunoepidemiology schistosomiasis.

Pterostilbene (PST) is a naturally derived stilbene compound in grapes, blueberries, and other fruits. It also natural dietary with wide range of biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, so on. Structural modifications based on the chemical scaffold pterostilbene skeleton are great importance for drug discovery. In this study, skeletons were used to design novel anti-inflammatory compounds high activity low toxicity. A total 30 new found synthesised, their safety screened. Among them, E2 was most active (against NO: IC50 = 0.7 μM) than celecoxib. Further studies showed that exerted by blocking LPS-induced NF-κB/MAPK signalling pathway activation. vivo experiments revealed had good alleviating effect acute colitis mice. conclusion, may be promising lead compound.

Allergic disease is caused by the activation of allergen-specific CD4+ type-2 T follicular helper cells (Tfh2) and 2 (Th2) effector that secrete cytokines IL-4, IL-5, IL-9, IL-13 upon allergen encounter, thereby inducing IgE production B tissue inflammation. While it accepted priming differentiation naïve into Th2 requires presentation type dendritic (DC2s), underlying signals remain unidentified. In this review we focus on interaction between allergen-presenting DC2s in lymph node (LN), potential mechanisms which might instruct differentiation. We outline recent advances characterizing DC2 development heterogeneity. sensing current proposed differentiation, with specific consideration role how they contribute to each mechanism.

ABSTRACT Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is the most recently discovered and evolved mammalian antibody type, best known for interacting with mast cells (MCs) as immune effectors. IgE‐mediated antigen sensing by MC provides protection from parasites, venomous animals, bacteria, other insults to barrier tissues exposed environment. IgE MCs act inflammation amplifiers response adjuvants. Thus, production memory formation are greatly constrained require specific licensing. Failure of regulation gives rise allergic disease, one top causes chronic illness. Increasing evidence suggests allergy development often starts early in life, including prenatally, maternal influence being central shaping offspring's system. Although exists before birth, an endogenous source IgE‐producing B has not been identified. This review discusses mechanisms transfer into offspring, its interactions offspring antigen‐presenting cells, consequences allergen sensitization development. We discuss multifaceted effects pre‐existing IgG, IgE, their glycosylation on functionality progeny. Understanding predisposing life may allow targeting existing therapeutics guide new ones.

ABSTRACT Immunoglobulin E (IgE) plays a dual role in the immune system, providing protection against pathogens while also mediating pathological hypersensitivity reactions. Its function is mainly studied context of immediate inflammatory responses, where IgE‐sensitized effector cells, such as mast cells and basophils, are triggered by cross‐linking antigen. An often‐overlooked feature IgE biology its strong ability to boost secondary adaptive thus acting physiological adjuvant. The regulation these responses influenced various factors, including primary Ig structure, post‐translational modifications glycosylations, structural properties antigens, interaction with receptors. Interestingly, not only generates antigen‐specific but IgE‐specific autoimmune responses. Natural IgG anti‐IgE autoantibodies circulate at surprisingly high levels, even healthy individuals, contributing serum levels Understanding emerging concepts, beyond singular focus on initial production cell activation, could contribute better understanding immunological functions IgE. In this review, we aim provide an overview current knowledge immunogenicity. Many open questions remain negative positive feedback mechanisms which regulates response, hope inspire future research into underlying IgE‐regulated their potential implications for therapeutic strategies diseases.

The antibody response is regulated by follicular T helper (Tfh) and regulatory (Tfr) cells that control the germinal center (GC) reaction [1]. We previously showed Tfh express IL-1 receptor IL-1R1, while Tfr decoy IL-1R2 IL-1R1. In contrast, (Tregs) largely do not IL-1Rs [2]. role of expressed in regulation allergy poorly understood. recently generated a mouse line which knocked out FoxP3+ (FoxP3creIL-1R2lox mice) [3].
