[III Membership Roster] [III Meeting Rosters]
The Innate Immunity and Inflammation study section reviews applications involving basic aspects of innate immunity and inflammation, including studies of soluble and cellular mediators of these processes. Specific areas covered by III:
- effector functions of innate immune cells (e.g., neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, NK cells, basophils, eosinophils, mast cells, gdT cells, B1 cells)
- pattern recognition receptors and ligands
- recruitment and activation of non-lymphocyte leukocytes
- structure, function, and release of anti-microbial peptides
- adhesion molecules, chemotaxis, endothelial responses
- cytokines, chemokines, lipid mediators, other autocoids, and their receptors
- animal and plant systems of innate immunity and inflammation
- systemic and tissue specific responses to inflammation
- regulation of adaptive immune responses
- initiation of host responses in skin, mucosal, and privileged sites
- complement and other soluble host defense proteins and their regulation
- immunodeficiencies involving the inflammatory and innate immune system
Study Sections with the most closely related areas of science listed in rank order are:
