Role of co-stimulation in Leishmaniasis Tuladhar R; Natarajan G; Satoskar ARInt J Biol Sci 2011[]; 7 (9): 1382-90Leishmania are obligate intracellular parasites that cause a wide spectrum of diseases ranging from cutaneous, mucocutaneous and the visceral kind. Persistence or resolution of leishmaniasis is governed by host immune response. Co-stimulation is an important secondary signal that governs the extent, strength and direction of the immune response that follows. Co-stimulation by CD40, B7 and OX40 family has been shown to influence the outcome following Leishmania infection and manipulation of these pathways has shown promise for use in immune therapy of leishmaniasis. In this review, we discuss the roles of CD40, B7 and OX40 co-stimulatory pathways in regulating immunity to Leishmania and their implications in the treatment of this disease.|Animals[MESH]|B7 Antigens/metabolism[MESH]|CD40 Antigens/metabolism[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Immunity/immunology/physiology[MESH]|Leishmania/immunology/*pathogenicity[MESH]|Leishmaniasis/*immunology/*metabolism[MESH]|Receptors, OX40/metabolism[MESH] |
