1 12134016 The protective role of Ig directed to the RV inner core proteins VP2 and VP6 was investigated in J-chain-deficient mice (J chain(-/-)), which have a defect in the polymeric Ig receptor (pIgR)-mediated transcytosis of IgA and IgM.
2 12594279 Subsequent experiments showed that OVA-specific CD4(+) T cell expansion following OVA feeding was not elevated in pIgR(-/-) mice.
3 12594279 Furthermore, no differences in CD8(+) T cell tolerance or induction of influenza virus-specific CD8(+) T cells were detected in pIgR(-/-) mice compared with controls.
4 12594279 Subsequent experiments showed that OVA-specific CD4(+) T cell expansion following OVA feeding was not elevated in pIgR(-/-) mice.
5 12594279 Furthermore, no differences in CD8(+) T cell tolerance or induction of influenza virus-specific CD8(+) T cells were detected in pIgR(-/-) mice compared with controls.
6 15383591 The role of respiratory Ab in preventing colonization by Streptococcus pneumoniae has now been examined using polymeric IgR knockout (pIgR(-/-)) mice, which lack the ability to actively secrete IgA into the mucosal lumen.
7 15383591 However, pIgR(-/-) mice had approximately 5-fold more systemic IgA and 6-fold less nasal IgA Ab than wild-type mice due to defective transport into mucosal tissues.
8 15383591 Although secretory IgA was found to be important for protection against nasal carriage, it does not appear to have a crucial role in immunity to systemic pneumococcus infection, because both vaccinated wild-type and pIgR(-/-) mice were fully protected from lethal systemic infection by serotype 3 pneumococci.
9 15383591 The role of respiratory Ab in preventing colonization by Streptococcus pneumoniae has now been examined using polymeric IgR knockout (pIgR(-/-)) mice, which lack the ability to actively secrete IgA into the mucosal lumen.
10 15383591 However, pIgR(-/-) mice had approximately 5-fold more systemic IgA and 6-fold less nasal IgA Ab than wild-type mice due to defective transport into mucosal tissues.
11 15383591 Although secretory IgA was found to be important for protection against nasal carriage, it does not appear to have a crucial role in immunity to systemic pneumococcus infection, because both vaccinated wild-type and pIgR(-/-) mice were fully protected from lethal systemic infection by serotype 3 pneumococci.
12 15383591 The role of respiratory Ab in preventing colonization by Streptococcus pneumoniae has now been examined using polymeric IgR knockout (pIgR(-/-)) mice, which lack the ability to actively secrete IgA into the mucosal lumen.
13 15383591 However, pIgR(-/-) mice had approximately 5-fold more systemic IgA and 6-fold less nasal IgA Ab than wild-type mice due to defective transport into mucosal tissues.
14 15383591 Although secretory IgA was found to be important for protection against nasal carriage, it does not appear to have a crucial role in immunity to systemic pneumococcus infection, because both vaccinated wild-type and pIgR(-/-) mice were fully protected from lethal systemic infection by serotype 3 pneumococci.
15 23964273 Mice deficient for pIgR show that this is the only receptor responsible for epithelial export of IgA and IgM.
16 24866791 In the later stages of infection, mRNA expression of H(+)/K(+)-ATPase α/β and KCNQ1 decreased, whereas the expression of Muc4, Tff2, Dmbt1, and polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) increased starting at 16 weeks postinfection onwards, suggesting the existence of spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia in the fundus of the stomach.
17 24866791 Our findings indicate that H. heilmannii infection causes severe gastric pathologies and alterations in the expression pattern of gastric mucins, such as Muc6 and Muc13, as well as disrupting gastric homeostasis by inducing the loss of parietal cells, resulting in the development of mucous metaplasia.
18 25948883 Mechanisms by which the newborn piglet gut facilitates uptake of colostral cells, antibodies, and proteins may include FcRn and pIgR receptor-mediated endocytosis and paracellular transport between tight junctions (TJs).
