TL;DR: The chicken IFITM3 protein restricts cell infection by influenza A viruses and lyssaviruses to a similar level as its human orthologue and is functional in chicken cells, suggestingIFITM proteins may provide a crucial barrier for zoonotic infections.

TL;DR: Using oxidized low density lipoproteins and its oxidized cholesteryl esters and phospholipid constituents to stimulate macrophage has been hugely valuable, however there is now an argument that only working with low complexity lipid species can deliver the most useful information to guide therapies aimed at controlling atherosclerosis and cardiovascular complications.

TL;DR: Differences between immune gene repertoires of birds and mammals, particularly those known to play a role in immune-endocrine interactions in mammals are discussed, and recent findings on the expression of their receptors are reviewed.

TL;DR: Targeted genome enrichment in cattle identified varying levels of allelic polymorphism between the NKC genes concentrated in the predicted extracellular ligand-binding domains, suggesting that this diversity influences individual immune responses and may impact on differential outcomes of pathogen infection and vaccination.

TL;DR: Full-length sequencing of the entire region and thorough, detailed analysis of the coding region confirmed that the MGF gene lay within this sequence gap, and therefore that it should be renamed CSF3.
