Asthma is an inflammatory lung disorder characterized by mucus hypersecretion, cellular
infiltration, and bronchial hyper-responsiveness. House dust mites (HDM) are the most …

Background. Exposure to fungi, especially Aspergillus fumigatus (Af), can elicit potent
allergic inflammation that triggers and worsens asthmatic disease. Dendritic cells (DCs) …

During pregnancy, maternal immune function is strictly controlled and immune tolerance is
induced. Trophoblast giant (TG) cells exhibit phagocytic activity and show macrophage-like …

Aspergillus species are ubiquitous saprophytes and opportunistic pathogens causing wide
spectrum of diseases in humans depending on the host immune status. Following pathogen …

Background Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic, progressive fungal disease of the skin and
subcutaneous tissue caused by a unique group of dematiaceous fungi. Fonsecaea …

This chapter summarizes the immune functions of M2 macrophages. A bona fide M2
macrophage activation is associated with Th2 immune response against helminth infections …

Using a nonlethal systemic Aspergillus fumigatus infection, we have recently shown that
similarly efficient elimination of fungus from spleens of prototypic Th1 (C57 BL/6) and …

Fungal extracellular vesicles (EVs) mediate intra-and interspecies communication and are
critical in host–fungus interaction, modulating inflammation and immune responses. In this …

Monocytes are a member of the family of mononuclear phagocytes, which are composed of
monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. These cells play a crucial role in the innate …

Este proyecto tiene como objeto estandarizar un método para generar macrófagos a partir
de monocitos humanos y explorar los posibles efectos inmunomoduladores de rAl-CPI en …
