Karlsson, Jenny, Pütsep, Katrin, Chu, Hiutung, Kays, Robert J, Bevins, Charles L, Andersson, Mats

Abstract Background Enteric antimicrobial peptides secreted from Paneth cells, including α-defensins (in mice named cryptdins), are key effector molecules of innate immunity in the small intestine....

The Capsule Encoding the viaB Locus Reduces Interleukin-17 Expression and Mucosal Innate Responses in the Bovine Intestinal Mucosa during Infection with Salmonella enterica Serotype Typhi▿

Raffatellu, Manuela, Santos, Renato L., Chessa, Daniela, Wilson, R. Paul, Winter, Sebastian E., Rossetti, Carlos A., ...

The viaB locus contains genes for the biosynthesis and export of the Vi capsular antigen of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi. Wild-type serotype Typhi induces less CXC chemokine production in...

Mukherjee, Sohini, Partch, Carrie L., Lehotzky, Rebecca E., Whitham, Cecilia V., Chu, Hiutung, Bevins, Charles L., ...

Members of the RegIII family of intestinal C-type lectins are directly antibacterial proteins that play a vital role in maintaining host-bacterial homeostasis in the mammalian gut, yet little is...
