Selection and education of heart-specific Th cells by thymic and lymph node stromal cells
Apr 1, 2013Myocarditis is a frequent disease in children and young adults that can precipitate lethal dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Since some heart antigens, such as the cardiac myosin heavy chain alpha (myhca) are not represented in the thymus, heart-specific...

Role CCR7-ligands in virus-induced chronic CNS inflammation and demyelination
Jan 1, 2013Background: Epidemiological studies indicate that onset and progression of multiple sclerosis (MS) critically depends on environmental factors, including infectious agents. Experimental infections with neurotropic viruses can precipitate MS-like path...

Systems immunological analysis of lymph node structure and function in viral infection
Aug 1, 2012Peripheral lymph nodes (PLNs) perform three central functions as a structural interface between the innate and adaptive immune systems: first, sentinel PLNs retain microbial‐derived antigen (Ag) from the periphery arriving via afferent lymphatic ves...

Polyvalent vaccine against Salmonellosis
Nov 1, 2011The major aim of this project is to generate a polyvalent vaccine candidate using microencapsulates Salmonella typhi proteins for oral administration. To this end, the laboratory in Mexico will produce sufficient amounts of S. typhi porins for encaps...

Mechanisms of antibody-mediated protection against virus-induced inflammatory demyelination
Jul 1, 2011Background: The epidemiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) suggests that environmental factors such as infections with coronaviruses critically determine the risk for this chronic demyelinating disease. Infection of the CNS with neurotropic mouse corona...

SARS: Ökologie und Pathogenese einer archetypischen Zoonose - Identifizierung und Charakterisierung von konservierten coronaviralen Pathogenitätsfaktoren
Jul 1, 2010Zahlreiche Beispiele vor allem aus der Veterinärmedizin belegen, dass ein Wirtswechsel bei Coronaviren keine Seltenheit ist. Dementsprechend war das Auftreten des SARS Coronavirus in der humanen Population nicht wirklich überraschend, zeigte jedoch,...
