Journal ArticleDOI
Lactoferrin as a Natural Immune Modulator
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to provide an overview of research regarding the role of lactoferrin in maintaining immune homeostasis, in particular as a mediator of immune responses to infectious assault, trauma and injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Terrestrial stress analogs for spaceflight associated immune system dysregulation.
Brian Crucian,Richard J. Simpson,Satish K. Mehta,Raymond P. Stowe,Alexander Choukèr,Shen-An Hwang,Jeffrey K. Actor,Alex P. Salam,Duane L. Pierson,Clarence Sams +9 more
TL;DR: The array of terrestrial analogs for spaceflight immune dysregulation, the current evidence base for each, and the analog catalog in the context of acute and chronic stress are characterized are characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI
A role for tumour necrosis factor-α, complement C5 and interleukin-6 in the initiation and development of the mycobacterial cord factor trehalose 6,6′-dimycolate induced granulomatous response
Kerry J. Welsh,April N. Abbott,Shen-An Hwang,Jessica Indrigo,Lisa Y. Armitige,Michael R. Blackburn,Robert L. Hunter,Jeffrey K. Actor +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that TNF-alpha is critical for initiation of the granulomatous response, C5a is necessary for formation of cohesive granulomas, and IL-6 plays a key role in thegranuloma maintenance response to mycobacterial TDM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lactoferrin immunomodulation of DTH response in mice
Jeffrey K. Actor,Shen-An Hwang,Margaret Olsen,Michał Zimecki,Robert L. Hunter,Marian L. Kruzel +5 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that Lactoferrin as an adjuvant may stimulate macrophages to generate a local environment likely to push immune responses towards development and maintenance of CMI.
Journal Article
Pathogenesis of Post Primary Tuberculosis: Immunity and Hypersensitivity in the Development of Cavities
TL;DR: This manuscript presents a revised pathogenesis of post primary TB based on studies of lung tissues of thousands of patients by multiple authors and related literature to facilitate focusing modern technologies to produce rapid advances in understanding and combating TB.
