Cover of Current Topics in Innate Immunity II
by
Language: English
Release Date: September 25, 2011

Mounting evidence in the past decade indicates that innate immunity mediates functions above and beyond first-line defense against infection. It is now appreciated that innate immune mechanisms are critically involved in the development of adaptive immunity and, moreover, the regulation of diverse...
Cover of Sex Hormones and Immunity to Infection
by
Language: English
Release Date: October 22, 2009

Why sex matters Among human and nonhuman animals, the prevalence and intensity of infection typically is higher in males than females and may reflect differences in exposure as well as susceptibility to pathogens. Elevated immunity among females is a double-edged sword in which it is beneficial...
