Some people may be naturally resistant to infection with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. New results bring us closer to a genetic explanation. Two genes are involved in an innate resistance to HIV infection. ... 9, 2005) — The body attempts to protect itself from HIV infection via the innate immune system.

Many different strains of mice can be infected i.v. with L. monocytogenes, however, innate resistance to Listeria infection varies considerably between mouse strains. For example, the LD50 for L. monocytogenes 10403s is 1 x 104 in BALB/c mice and 50-fold higher (2 x 105) in C57BL/6 mice.

To further investigate the protective role of IFN- in the innate resistance to C. pneumoniae, RAG-1-/-/IFN- R-/- double knockouts were generated. The deletion of RAG-1 gene was confirmed by the absence of IgG3 in sera and by the absence of CD4+ cells in peripheral blood (data not shown).

It has recently emerged that innate resistance to mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection depends upon a large number of host genes with non-redundant functions; hence, random germline mutagenesis frequently causes susceptibility to this pathogen.

MUHC and CHUM researchers demonstrate how 2 specific genes are involved in an innate resistance to HIV infection ... The simultaneous expression of certain versions of two specific genes called KIR3DL1 and HLA-B*57 is thought to be at the root of some cases of this innate resistance to HIV infection.

Here, we show that innate resistance and early IFN-gamma production in listeriosis are markedly impaired in T-cell receptor (TCR)-delta-/- but not ...

Knowledge of the complexity of mechanisms responsible for resistance to fungus infection of cultivars, such as Regent, is necessary for strategies to be defined which will improve resistance in highly susceptible ... These differences are probably associated with the innate resistance of Regent towards the mildews.

These differences are probably associated with the innate resistance of Regent towards the mildews. ... To understand the possible innate resistance capabilities of the cultivar Regent, both transcript and metabolome profiling were accessed. Microarray technology allows monitoring the expression level of thousands of...
