Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHost Receptor Immunomodulation in Response to Shigella Surface Antigens: An Insight for Vaccine DevelopmentAshim K. Bagchi, Rushita A. Bagchi, Dipak K. Hens et al.Shigellosis, caused by Shigella is the most common cause of bacillary dysentery. The disease is associated with high morbidity and mortality rate owing to its multiple drug resistance. Hence recovery from the disease would primarily depend on the development of an effective immune-modulator for strong mucosal immune response. The role of cellular immunity may be a critical factor in protection … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 21 Jun 2015 · 6,752 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrobial Translocation and B Cell Dysfunction in Human Immunodeficiency Virus DiseaseWei JiangThe gut mucosal barrier disrupted in HIV disease, resulting in increased systemic exposure to microbial products such as Lipo Polys Accharide (LPS). The association of enhanced microbial translocation and B cell dysfunction in HIV disease is not fully understood. High dose and short term exposure of microbial Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) agonists were used as vaccine adjuvants, however, low dose and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2012 · 7,409 accessesView PDF Cite
