| characterization of variants of the gene encoding the p55 antigen in pneumocystis from rats and mice. | variants of the p55 gene in rat-derived pneumocystis carinii have been identified and its counterpart in mouse-derived p. carinii f. sp. muris has been cloned. by pcr amplification of p. carinii genomic dna, five variants were identified that differed from each other in size and sequence, primarily in the number and size of encoded amino acid repeats. for p. carinii f. sp. muris, a single pcr fragment (471 bp) was obtained, which contained an incomplete orf encoding a 157 aa protein that was mos ... | 2003 | 14532339 |
| tnf-alpha-dependent icam-1- and vcam-1-mediated inflammatory responses are delayed in neonatal mice infected with pneumocystis carinii. | neonatal mice have a delayed cd4-mediated inflammatory response to pneumocystis carinii (pc) infection in the lungs that corresponds to a delayed tnf-alpha response and a delayed clearance of the organisms compared with adult mice. since tnf-alpha is known to drive the up-regulation of adhesion molecules, we examined the expression and function of adhesion molecules in the lungs of neonatal mice. the expression of both icam-1 and vcam-1 was significantly lower in the lungs of pc-infected neonata ... | 2003 | 14568945 |
| absence of the macrophage mannose receptor in mice does not increase susceptibility to pneumocystis carinii infection in vivo. | host defense against the opportunistic pathogen pneumocystis carinii requires functional interactions of many cell types. alveolar macrophages are presumed to be a vital host cell in the clearance of p. carinii, and the mechanisms of this interaction have come under scrutiny. the macrophage mannose receptor is believed to play an important role as a receptor involved in the binding and phagocytosis of p. carinii. although there is in vitro evidence for this interaction, the in vivo role of this ... | 2003 | 14573639 |
| lung epithelial cells and extracellular matrix components induce expression of pneumocystis carinii ste20, a gene complementing the mating and pseudohyphal growth defects of ste20 mutant yeast. | pneumocystis carinii causes severe pneumonia in immunocompromised hosts. the binding of p. carinii to alveolar epithelial cells and extracellular matrix constituents such as fibronectin and vitronectin is a central feature of infection, which initiates proliferation of the organism. herein, we demonstrate that p. carinii binding to lung cells specifically alters the gene expression of the organism, regulating fungal growth. subtractive hybridization was performed to isolate p. carinii genes expr ... | 2003 | 14573668 |

| alveolar macrophage-mediated killing of pneumocystis carinii f. sp. muris involves molecular recognition by the dectin-1 beta-glucan receptor. | innate immune mechanisms against pneumocystis carinii, a frequent cause of pneumonia in immunocompromised individuals, are not well understood. using both real time polymerase chain reaction as a measure of organism viability and fluorescent deconvolution microscopy, we show that nonopsonic phagocytosis of p. carinii by alveolar macrophages is mediated by the dectin-1 beta-glucan receptor and that the subsequent generation of hydrogen peroxide is involved in alveolar macrophage-mediated killing ... | 2003 | 14657220 |
| the x-linked hyper-igm syndrome: clinical and immunologic features of 79 patients. | the x-linked hyper-igm (xhigm) syndrome is an uncommon primary immunodeficiency disease caused by mutations in the gene for cd40 ligand and characterized by normal or elevated serum igm, reduced levels of igg and iga, and defective t-cell function. because of its rarity, it has been difficult for any single investigator or institution to develop a comprehensive clinical picture of this disorder. accordingly, a national registry was developed in the united states to provide demographic, genetic, ... | 2003 | 14663287 |
| sputum induction: review of literature and proposal for a protocol. | since the 1980s, sputum induction by inhalation of hypertonic saline has been successfully used for diagnosing pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in patients infected with hiv. in recent years, sputum induction and its subsequent processing has been refined as a noninvasive research tool providing important information about inflammatory events in the lower airways, and it has been used for studying various illnesses. in asthma, one application is to use sputum inflammatory indices to increase our u ... | 2003 | 14666295 |
| phylogenetic systematics and evolution of primate-derived pneumocystis based on mitochondrial or nuclear dna sequence comparison. | previous studies have demonstrated that the agent of pneumocystis pneumonia (pcp), pneumocystis carinii, is actually a complex of eukaryotic organisms, and cophylogeny could explain the distribution of the hosts and parasites. in the present work, we tested the hypothesis of cophylogeny between the primate-derived pneumocystis group and their hosts. specific strains isolated from 20 primate species, including humans, were used to produce a phylogeny of the parasites. aligned sequences correspond ... | 2003 | 14668114 |
