Abstract:
Im Kampf gegen eine Virusinfektion spielen CD8+ T Zellen des adaptiven Immunsystems eine besondere Rolle. Sie patroullieren im Körper und entdecken spezifische Virusepitope, welche mittels MHC Klasse I Molekülen auf der Oberfläche infizierter Zellen präsentiert werden. Wird eine virus-infizierte Zelle erkannt, kann diese schnell und effizient eliminiert. Für die Generierung viraler Peptide, welche auf MHC Klasse I Komplexe geladen werden, ist das Ubiquitin-Proteasom-System von essentieller Bedeutung. Kürzlich wurden weitere Funktionen des Immunoproteasoms aufgedeckt wie zum Beispiel der Schutz

Abstract:
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs or Batten disease) are inherited neurodegenerative diseases of children. In all types of NCL glial activation, the innate immune response of the brain, precedes neurodegeneration. However, it is unclear whether adaptive immune responses are also involved in these diseases, or if they directly contribute to disease pathogenesis. Therefore, we examined the role of adaptive immune cells in mouse models of Infantile NCL (Ppt1-/- mice) and Juvenile NCL (Cln3-/- mice) by identifying, localising, and subsequently genetically removing immune components.

Abstract:
Dengue virus (DENV) is an arthropod-borne virus and has become a worldwide problem with steadily rising annual infection rates. Patients present with a range of symptoms from mild fever to, in some cases, life-threatening hemorrhagic fever and shock syndrome. The most severe cases require emergency hospital care and currently, there is no effective drug treatment or vaccine for dengue. As severe symptoms appear post-peak viremia, immuno-pathology is thought to be the cause and a potential trigger of this is differential activation of the immune response upon recognition of DENV.

Tuberculosis and helminth infections are co endemic in many parts of the world.

The consequence of this immunomodulation may affect the ability of the host to restrict the growth of mycobacteria or mycobacterial killing.

Abstract:
La vigne est sujette à de nombreuses contraintes biotiques et abiotiques face auxquelles elle devra optimiser ses stratégies de défense, en favorisant parfois des interconnections entre les réponses adaptatives au stress abiotique et la gestion de la réponse immune face à un pathogène. Dans cette étude nous avons évalué l'effet du stress hydrique (par privation d'eau) sur différentes réactions adaptatives au stress, mais aussi sur des réponses de défense et sur la sensibilité des feuilles et des baies de la vigne à Botrytis cinerea. Ces réactions ont été suivies en utilisant des boutures végét

Abstract:
Shiga producing E. coli (STEC) O157 is a zoonotic pathogen. In humans STEC O157 causes bloody diarrhoea and potentially fatal renal failure. Cattle are the major reservoir, where bacteria are limited to the intestinal tract and do not cause clinical signs of disease. Previous studies indicate that shiga toxins produced by STEC O157, suppress STEC-specific cellular immune responses in vivo. This study aimed to initially examine the humoral immune response in cattle following natural challenge and the effects of a toxoid vaccination on this humoral STEC specific-immune response. We determined a
