Download or read book Understanding Innate Immune Signaling During Listeria Monocytogenes Vaccination and Its Implications for Cancer Immunotherapy written by Zachary Taylor Morrow and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Listeria monocytogenes is a gram-positive facultative intracellular pathogen that stimulates a robust CD8+ T-cell response and has been utilized for decades to understand various aspects of innate and adaptive immunity. Due to its ability to stimulate CD8+ T-cells, L. monocytogenes has been developed as a safe anti-tumor vaccine platform. Efforts to understand how L. monocytogenes primes CD8+ T-cell responses led to the observation that L. monocytogenes that fail to access the host cytosol do not prime robust CD8+ T-cell responses. This led us to hypothesize that activation of a cytosol-specific innate immune pathway was necessary for the optimal T-cell response toward L. monocytogenes. Counterintuitively, I show that two cytosol-specific innate immune pathways activated by L. monocytogenes, the production of type I interferon, and inflammasome activation are actively detrimental to, or are dispensable for the T-cell response, respectively. Type I interferon impairs the formation of memory precursor effector cells, leading to deficits in protective immunity, and is likely acting on antigen presenting cells. I aided in identifying that macrophages and dendritic cells produce PGE2 during L. monocytogenes infection. The production of PGE2 is the first cytosol-specific innate immune pathway identified that is necessary for the optimal T-cell response toward L. monocytogenes. I show that PGE2 production is dependent on the calcium-dependent cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) and that calcium fluxes necessary for PGE2 production are likely emanating from inositol-triphosphate-signaling dependent endoplasmic reticulum receptors. Finally, in an altogether different approach, I show that L. monocytogenes can be engineered to express and secrete mammalian cytokines as an in-situ vaccine platform. Taken together, my work demonstrates how innate immune signaling informs adaptive T-cell responses during L. monocytogenes vaccination, and that L. monocytogenes can be engineered to modulate innate immune pathways resulting in a better vaccine platform. This thesis begins to unravel how the first cytosol-specific innate immune pathway necessary for T-cell priming is triggered and highlights new avenues for the therapeutic application of L. monocytogenes to combat cancer.

Download or read book Foodborne Microbial Pathogens written by Arun K. Bhunia and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-21 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book primarily covers the general description of foodborne pathogens and their mechanisms of pathogenesis, control and prevention, and detection strategies, with easy-to-comprehend illustrations. The book is an essential resource for food microbiology graduate or undergraduate students, microbiology professionals, and academicians involved in food microbiology, food safety, and food defense-related research or teaching. This new edition covers the significant progress that has been made since 2008 in understanding the pathogenic mechanism of some common foodborne pathogens, and the host-pathogen interaction. Foodborne and food-associated zoonotic pathogens, responsible for high rates of mortality and morbidity, are discussed in detail. Chapters on foodborne viruses, parasites, molds and mycotoxins, and fish and shellfish are expanded. Additionally, chapters on opportunistic and emerging foodborne pathogens including Nipah virus, Ebola virus, Aeromonas hydrophila, Brucella abortus, Clostridium difficile, Cronobacter sakazakii, and Plesiomonas shigelloides have been added. The second edition contains more line drawings, color photographs, and hand-drawn illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CRISPR/Cas is a recently described defense system that protects bacteria and archaea against invasion by mobile genetic elements such as viruses and plasmids. A wide spectrum of distinct CRISPR/Cas systems has been identified in at least half of the available prokaryotic genomes. On-going structural and functional analyses have resulted in a far greater insight into the functions and possible applications of these systems, although many secrets remain to be discovered. In this book, experts summarize the state of the art in this exciting field.

It concerns the pharmacological approach to the immune response in physiological as well as pathological events. This goals and objectives of this textbook are to emphasize the developments in immunology and pharmacology as they relate to the modulation of immune response. The information includes the pharmacology of cytokines, monoclonal antibodies, mechanism of action of immune-suppressive agents and their relevance in tissue transplantation, therapeutic strategies for the treatment of AIDS and the techniques employed in gene therapy. The book is intended for health care professional students and graduate students in pharmacology and immunology.
