Innate immunity includes a cellular and a humoral arm. PTX3 is a fluid-phase pattern
recognition molecule conserved in evolution which acts as a key component of humoral …

The innate immune system consists of a cellular and a humoral arm. Pentraxins (eg, the
short pentraxin C reactive protein and the long pentraxin PTX3) are key components of the …

Background The soluble pattern-recognition receptor known as long pentraxin 3 (PTX3) has
a nonredundant role in antifungal immunity. The contribution of single-nucleotide …

The innate immune system comprises a cellular and a humoral arm. Humoral pattern
recognition molecules include complement components, collectins, ficolins, and pentraxins …

The long pentraxin (PTX) 3 is produced by macrophages and myeloid dendritic cells in
response to Toll-like receptor agonists and represents a nonredundant component of …

Steroid hormones such as glucocorticoids and estrogens are well‐known regulators of
peripheral immune responses and also show anti‐inflammatory properties in the brain …

All humans are continuously exposed to inhaled Aspergillus conidia, yet healthy hosts clear
the organism without develo** disease and without the development of antibody-or cell …

Abstract Pentraxin-3 (PTX3) is the prototype of the long pentraxin subfamily, an acute-phase
protein consisting of a C-terminal pentraxin domain and a unique N-terminal domain. PTX3 …

Pentraxins are a family of ancient innate immune mediators conserved throughout evolution.
The classical pentraxins include serum amyloid P component (SAP) and C-reactive protein …

Aspergillus fumigatus is an environmental filamentous fungus that also acts as an
opportunistic pathogen able to cause a variety of symptoms, from an allergic response to a …
