Natural resistance to Infection with intracellular parasites is controlled by a dominant gene
on mouse chromosome 1, called Bcg, Lsh, or Ity. Bcg affects the capacity of macrophages to …

Cases of active tuberculosis have been reported worldwide with the use of therapeutic
agents that inhibit tumour necrosis factor (TNF) α. TNFα has a central role in mycobacterial …

In mice, natural resistance or susceptibility to infection with intracellular parasites is
determined by a locus or group of loci on chromosome 1, designated Bcg, Lsh, and Ity, which …

Influenza A virus (IAV) triggers a contagious and potentially lethal respiratory disease. A
protective IL-1β response is mediated by innate receptors in macrophages and lung epithelial …

Natural resistance to infection with unrelated intracellular parasites such as Mycobacteria,
Salmonella, and Leishmania is controlled in the mouse by a single gene on chromosome 1, …

Leprosy is a debilitating infectious disease of human skin and nerves. Genetic factors of the
host play an important role in the manifestation of disease susceptibility. The human …

Natural resistance of mice to infections with Salmonella typhimurium and Leishmania donovani
is regulated by chromosome 1 gene(s) designated Ity and Lsh, respectively 1,2 . Given …

We examined the effects of dietary n-3 polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acids on the
development of the atherogenic process in mice and on the macrophage ability to secrete …

Natural resistance to infection with intracellular parasites is controlled in the mouse by the
expression of a locus or group of loci on chromosome 1 alternatively named Bcg, Lsh, and Ity. …

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a group of evolutionarily conserved pattern recognition receptors
involved in the activation of the immune system in response to various pathogens. In this …
