Iranian and Saudi mutual (mis)representations: a study of the relationship between discourses of othering, political confrontation and sectarian strife by Mohammad, T

“…The Othering framework employed marks a shift in the longstanding understanding of ‘rivalry’ in the SaudiIranian setting, where the relations between these two sides were dependent on the perceptions of each other, rather than embodying any innate or deeply grounded ideological fervour</p>…”

Germinal centre B cell and T follicular helper cell responses to viral vector and protein-in-adjuvant vaccines by Wang, C, Hart, M, Chui, C, Ajuogu, A, Brian, IJ, de Cassan, SC, Borrow, P, Draper, SJ, Douglas, AD

“…We found little evidence that innate immune activation by adenovirus may act as an adjuvant in such a manner that the humoral response to a recombinant protein may be enhanced by co-administering with an adenovirus lacking a transgene of interest.…”

Sustained exposure to Helicobacter pylori induces immune tolerance by desensitizing TLR6 by Zhang, Xiulin, He, Yang, Zhang, Xiaolu, Fu, Bo, Song, Zidai, Wang, Liang, Fu, Rui, Lu, Xuancheng, Xing, Jin, Lv, Jianyi, Guo, Meng, Huo, Xueyun, Liu, Xin, Lu, Jing, Du, Xiaoyan

“…The gastric epithelium acts as the first line of defense against H. pylori, with Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in gastric epithelial cells being sensitive to H. pylori components and subsequently activating the innate immune system. However, the mechanism of immune tolerance induced by H. pylori through the TLR signalling pathway has not been fully elucidated. …”

Simulation Tools for Inclusive Design Solutions by Raviselvam, Sujithra, Al-Megren, Shiroq, Keane, Kyle, Hölttä-Otto, Katja, Wood, Kristin L, Yang, Maria C

“…<jats:p>Disability has been redefined by the World Health Organization as a function of a person’s interaction with the environment and not merely an innate part of a person. This redefinition highlights the need for inclusiveness in design solutions. …”

Functional characterisation of multiple sclerosis-­associated single nucleotide polymorphisms in the Eomesodermin region by Leach, O

“…</p> <p>Subsequently, Eomes expression was characterised in peripheral blood cell populations, with the highest expression detected in natural killer cells and effector/memory T cell subsets, including MAIT cells, an innate-like lymphocyte population. To investigate potential genotype dependent changes in Eomes expression and the effect on downstream pathways, studies were performed using samples from healthy donors prospectively genotyped for the two MS associated loci. …”

Key transcriptional regulators of neutrophil function in inflammation by Ai, Z

“…<p>Neutrophils are important effector cells in innate immunity, possessing a wide range of effector functions, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, phagocytosis and chemotaxis. …”

Evolution of an extracellular pathogen recognition mechanism in Solanaceae by Kourelis, J

“…<p>The innate immune system of plants depends on resistance (<em>R</em>) genes which provide durable resistance to pathogens in nature. …”

Wolbachia-mosquito interactions and engineered female-specific lethality for Aedes-arbovirus control by Molloy, JC

“…In Chapter 2, I examine in <em>Ae. albopictus</em> the hypothesis that reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced immune activation plays a role, but neither ROS nor innate immune pathways were upregulated. In Chapter 3, an untargeted analysis of the <em>Ae. albopictus</em> lipidome showed it is significantly altered by <em>Wolbachia</em> infection, highlighting sphingolipids as candidates for future investigations into DENV-refractoriness.…”

Assessment of phagocytosis and cytokine secretions by monocytes in the presence of plasmodium falciparum by Xuan, Keh Min

The impact of protozoan predation on the pathogenicity of Vibrio cholerae by Espinoza-Vergara, Gustavo, Hoque, M. Mozammel, McDougald, Diane, Noorian, Parisa

“…Many of these intra-phagosomal factors used to kill and digest bacteria are highly conserved between eukaryotic cells and thus are also expressed by the innate immune system in the gastrointestinal tract as the first line of defense against bacterial pathogens. …”
