Journal ArticleDOI

Biological properties of extracellular vesicles and their physiological functions

María Yáñez-Mó, +72 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of the current understanding of the physiological roles of EVs is provided, drawing on the unique EV expertise of academia-based scientists, clinicians and industry based in 27 European countries, the United States and Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immune response by nasal delivery of hepatitis B surface antigen and codelivery of a CpG ODN in alginate coated chitosan nanoparticles.

TL;DR: In this article, a new delivery system was loaded with the recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and applied to mice by the intranasal route, which gave rise to the humoral mucosal immune response.
Journal ArticleDOI

SIR2-deficient Leishmania infantum induces a defined IFN-gamma/IL-10 pattern that correlates with protection.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the polarization to a high IFN-γ/low IL-10 ratio after challenge is a clear indicator of vaccine success and these mutants, which presented attenuated virulence, represent a good model to understand the correlatives of protection in visceral leishmaniasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deception and manipulation: the arms of leishmania, a successful parasite

TL;DR: Here, it is revised how the parasite manipulates cell death and immune responses to survive and thrive in the shadow of the immune system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of continuous axenic cultivation in Leishmania infantum virulence.

TL;DR: The data demonstrated that the use of parasites with distinct periods of axenic in vitro culture induce distinct infection rates and immunological responses and correlated this phenotype with a rapid loss of promastigote differentiation capacity.
