- Role of inflammasomes and IL-1 in experimental infection by Trypanosoma cruzi, BP.PD
Abstract
The innate immune response against Trypanosoma cruzi (causative agent of Chagas disease) comprises several pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), including the family Toll Like Receptors (TLRs) and intracellular receptor Nod1. However, we observed a cytokine production in response to T. cruzi independent of TLRs and Nod1 receptor, suggesting that there are additional components in the in...
- Role of NOD-like receptors on the control of Trypanosoma Cruzi infection, BP.DR
- Mechanisms that regulate the processing of IL-1a, IL-1b and their role during experimental Trypanosoma Cruzi infection, BE.EP.PD
Abstract
The parasite Trypanosome cruzi is agent causative of Chagas disease. This pathogen causes robust innate immune responses in immunocompetent hosts, resulting in the recruitment of mononuclear cells to the heart. The pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), including TLR-2, -4, -7, and -9, as well as the cytosolic receptor Nod1 recognize pattern molecular pathogen associated to T. cruzi and ...
