IL-18: The Forgotten Cytokine in Dengue Immunopathogenesis

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential immunopathogenic role of IL-18 when it participates in DENV infection and dengue disease progression was discussed based on existing findings and related past studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prime-Boost Vaccination With Covaxin/BBV152 Induces Heightened Systemic Cytokine and Chemokine Responses.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of prime-boost vaccination with Covaxin on systemic immune responses was investigated and it was shown that the effect on the plasma levels of a wide panel of cytokines and chemokines at baseline (M0) and at months 1 (M1), 2 (M2) and 3 (M3) following primeboost vaccination in healthy volunteers.

Interplay of Immunosuppression and Immunotherapy Among Patients With Cancer and COVID-19.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the association of baseline immunosuppression and/or IO-based therapies with COVID-19 severity and cytokine storm in patients with cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

High Titers of Low Affinity Antibodies in COVID-19 Patients Are Associated With Disease Severity

TL;DR: In critically ill patients, antibody production is high, but affinity is low, and maturation is impaired, which may play a role in disease exacerbation and could be valuable as a prognostic marker for predicting severity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Albumin protects the liver from tumor necrosis factor α-induced immunopathology

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether albumin also has the ability to protect tissues from the damaging actions of these inflammatory mediators, and they circumscribed their investigation to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α, which exemplifies the connection between immunity and tissue injury.

TH1 and TH2 cells: different patterns of lymphokine secretion lead to different functional properties.

TL;DR: Two types of cloned helper T cells are described, defined primarily by differences in the pattern of lymphokines ynthesized, and the different functions of the two types of cells and their lymphokine synthesis are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

From inflammation to sickness and depression: when the immune system subjugates the brain

TL;DR: In response to a peripheral infection, innate immune cells produce pro-inflammatory cytokines that act on the brain to cause sickness behaviour, which can lead to an exacerbation of sickness and the development of symptoms of depression in vulnerable individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

IL-17 and Th17 Cells.

TL;DR: The investigation of the differentiation, effector function, and regulation of Th17 cells has opened up a new framework for understanding T cell differentiation and now appreciate the importance of Th 17 cells in clearing pathogens during host defense reactions and in inducing tissue inflammation in autoimmune disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gout-associated uric acid crystals activate the NALP3 inflammasome

TL;DR: It is shown that MSU and CPPD engage the caspase-1-activating NALP3 (also called cryopyrin) inflammasome, resulting in the production of active interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 in mice deficient in the IL-1β receptor.
