Caspase 1, formerly designated interleukin 1β (IL-1β)-converting enzyme, processes pro-IL-1β and pro-IL-18 to yield active cytokines that play a pivotal role in inflammation and cell activation. We sh
The object of the microarray data is to find several genes effected by fungal infection. Keywords: stress response In order to establish the gene expressino levels in response to fungal infection in h
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is an infectious disease caused by the fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus that mainly affects immunocompromised hosts. To investigate immune cell cross-talk during infec
Nutritional immunity – the withholding of nutrients by the host – has long been recognised as an important factor that shapes bacterial-host interactions. However, the dynamics of nutrient availabilit
Mucosal infections with Candida albicans belong to the most frequent forms of fungal diseases. Host protection is conferred by cellular immunity; however, the induction of antifungal immunity is not w
