Interleukin-10 is a key immunomodulatory cytokine the principal function of which is to limit the magnitude of immune response.
Epidemiologic associations between viral lower respiratory infections (LRIs) and asthma in later childhood are well known
There is increasing evidence that the functional state of the immune system at birth is predictive of the kinetics of immune maturation in early infancy.
Atopy and asthma are commonly initiated during early life, and there is increasing interest in the development of preventive treatments for at-risk children.
Anti-viral innate immune responses may be impaired in asthma, although the mechanisms are not well understood.
In Western Australia, Neisseria meningitidis serogroup W clonal complex 11 became the predominant cause of invasive meningococcal disease in 2016
The incidence of atopic disease has increased dramatically during recent decades and the potential immunoregulatory influence of the microbiota in these...
A population of neutrophils recruited into cystic fibrosis (CF) airways is associated with proteolytic lung damage, exhibiting high expression of primary granule exocytosis marker CD63 and reduced phagocytic receptor CD16. Causative factors for this population are unknown, limiting intervention. Here we present a laboratory model to characterize responses of differentiated airway epithelium and neutrophils following respiratory infection.
