Increased Production of Interleukin 4 by CD4+ and CD8+ T Cells from Patients with Tuberculosis Is Related to the Presence of Pulmonary Cavities

TL;DR: The Th2-type response with increased production of IL-4 in patients with tuberculosis may antagonize host defense and lead to tissue necrosis, and little is known about their role in tissue damage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low-density lipoprotein receptor-deficient mice are protected against lethal endotoxemia and severe gram-negative infections.

TL;DR: Exogenous LDL can protect against the lethal effects of endotoxin and Gram-negative infection, at least part of this protection is achieved through decreased in vivo production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, in spite of increased cytokine production capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recognition of fungal pathogens by Toll-like receptors

TL;DR: New data suggest that TLRs offer escape mechanisms to certain pathogenic microorganisms, especially through TLR2-driven induction of anti-inflammatory cytokines, and the study of TLRs remains one of the most active areas of research in the field of fungal infections.
Journal Article

Increased susceptibility of TNF-alpha lymphotoxin-alpha double knockout mice to systemic candidiasis through impaired recruitment of neutrophils and phagocytosis of Candida albicans.

TL;DR: In conclusion, endogenous TNF and/or LT contribute to host resistance to disseminated candidiasis, and their absence in TNF-/-LT-/- mice renders the animals susceptible through impaired recruitment of neutrophils and impaired phagocytosis of C. albicans.
