Immunologic studies of disseminated infection with Aspergillus fumigatus in the nude mouse

Abstract

Immunity to infection with Aspergillus fumigatus conidia was studied in the athymic nude (nu/nu) mouse. The intratracheal, intravenous, and intraperitoneal routes of infection were used. Nu/nu mice were not significantly more susceptible than their heterozygous (nu/+) littermates. However, only nu/+ animals could be protected by prior immunization and developed positive, A. fumigatus-specific skin tests. Protection could be transferred to nu/nu recipients by immune glass-adherent cells. Thus, immunity to invasive aspergillus infection is multifactorial and depends on a glass-adherent cell population and T-cells.

Aspergillosis

Aspergillosis is the name given to a wide variety of diseases caused by infection by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems. Chronic colonization or infection can cause complications in people with underlying respiratory illnesses. Discover the latest research on aspergillosis here.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
