Plant-Based Vaccines as a Global Vaccination Approach: Current Perspectives
Dania O. Govea-Alonso,Edward P. Rybicki,Sergio Rosales-Mendoza +2 more
- 01 Jan 2014
TL;DR: This chapter provides a perspective on the evolution of the field of plant-based vaccine from the limitations identified in initial developments as to how this biotechnological approach has become sophisticated via the development of new technologies and has gained industry interest.
Assessing the immunomodulatory role of heteroglycan in a tumor spheroid and macrophage co-culture model system.
TL;DR: An in vitro created tissue system may thereby confirm the effectiveness of heteroglycan in activating the immune cells to exhibit tumor cytotoxic properties and confirm the existence of high apoptotic tumor cells in the spheroidal periphery.

Innate Immune Recognition
TL;DR: Microbial recognition by Toll-like receptors helps to direct adaptive immune responses to antigens derived from microbial pathogens to distinguish infectious nonself from noninfectious self.
Medicinal mushrooms as a source of antitumor and immunomodulating polysaccharides.
TL;DR: The present review analyzes the pecularities of polysaccharides derived from fruiting bodies and cultured mycelium in selected examples of medicinal mushrooms and concludes that high molecular weight glucans appear to be more effective than those of low molecular weight.

Collaborative Induction of Inflammatory Responses by Dectin-1 and Toll-like Receptor 2
TL;DR: This report examines how dectin-1, a lectin family receptor for β-glucans, collaborates with TLRs in recognizing microbes and demonstrates that collaborative recognition of distinct microbial components by different classes of innate immune receptors is crucial in orchestrating inflammatory responses.
Innate immunity: an overview.
TL;DR: The effector arm of innate immunity has been tackled, largely though the use of biochemical methods, and genetic dissection of innate immune pathways has been pursued with great success in model organisms.
