Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence that development of severe cardiomyopathy in human Chagas' disease is due to a Th1-specific immune response.
Juliana A. S. Gomes,L.M.G. Bahia-Oliveira,Manoel Otávio da Costa Rocha,Olindo Assis Martins-Filho,Giovanni Gazzinelli,Rodrigo Correa-Oliveira +5 more
TL;DR: An association between theProduction of IFN-γ by CD3+ CD4+ cells and morbidity in Chagas' disease, whereas the production of IL-10 by macrophages/monocytes leads to regulation of the immune response in IND patients is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for associations between the purinergic receptor P2X(7) (P2RX7) and toxoplasmosis.
Sarra E. Jamieson,Sarra E. Jamieson,A L Peixoto-Rangel,A L Peixoto-Rangel,A L Peixoto-Rangel,Aubrey Hargrave,L-A. de Roubaix,Ernest Mui,Nicola R. Boulter,E.N. Miller,Stephen J. Fuller,James S.

Bahia-Oliveira,Rima McLeod,Jenefer M. Blackwell,Jenefer M. Blackwell +36 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined polymorphisms at P2RX7 in 149 child/parent trios from North America and found an association between the derived C(+)G(−) allele (f=0.68; OR=2.06; 95% CI: 1.14-3.25; 0.004
Journal ArticleDOI
Ifn-gamma in human chagas' disease : protection or pathology?
L.M.G. Bahia-Oliveira,Juliana A. S. Gomes,Manoel Otávio da Costa Rocha,Maria da Consolação Vieira Moreira,E.M. Lemos,Zélia Maria Profeta da Luz,Maria Elizabeth S Pereira,Robert L. Coffman,João Carlos Pinto Dias,J. R. Cançado,Giovanni Gazzinelli,Rodrigo Correa-Oliveira +11 more
TL;DR: The maintenance of an immune response with high levels of IFN-gamma production during the chronic phase of the infection may favor cure or influence the development of the cardiac form of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytokines as determinants of resistance and pathology in human Schistosoma mansoni infection
Rodrigo Correa-Oliveira,Luiz Cosme Cotta Malaquias,Luiz Cosme Cotta Malaquias,P. L. Falcao,Iramaya R. C. Viana,L.M.G. Bahia-Oliveira,Alda Maria Soares Silveira,Lucia Alves de Oliveira Fraga,Aluízio Prata,Robert L. Coffman,José Roberto Lambertucci,José Renan Cunha-Melo,Olindo Assis Martins-Filho,Olindo Assis Martins-Filho,R. A. Wilson,Giovanni Gazzinelli +15 more
TL;DR: IL-10 is an important cytokine in regulating the immune response and possibly controlling morbidity in human schistosomiasis mansoni, and that the production of IFN-gamma may be associated with resistance to infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Candidate gene analysis of ocular toxoplasmosis in Brazil: evidence for a role for toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9).
Alba Lucínia Peixoto-Rangel,E. Nancy Miller,Léa Cristina Castellucci,Léa Cristina Castellucci,Sarra E. Jamieson,Sarra E. Jamieson,Ricardo Guerra Peixe,Liliani de Souza Elias,Rodrigo Correa-Oliveira,L.M.G. Bahia-Oliveira,Jenefer M. Blackwell,Jenefer M. Blackwell +11 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that direct interaction between T. gondii and TLR9 may trigger proinflammatory responses that lead to severe pathologies such as the ocular disease that is associated with this infection in Brazil is supported.
