PMID: 21247482
Background: A sizeable body of data demonstrates that membrane ICAM-1 (mICAM-1) plays a significant role in host defense in a site-specific fashion. On the pulmonary vascular endothelium, mICAM-1 is necessary...

182(4):2277-87.
PMID: 19201882
Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP), the most common opportunistic pulmonary infection associated with HIV infection, is marked by impaired gas exchange and significant hypoxemia. Immune reconstitution disease (IRD) represents a syndrome of...

Beck J, Preston A, Wilcoxen S, Morris S, Sturrock A, Paine 3rd R
Infect Immun
. 2009 Jan;
77(3):1053-60.
PMID: 19124601
Pneumocystis infections increase host susceptibility to additional insults that would be tolerated in the absence of infection, such as hyperoxia. In an in vivo model using CD4-depleted mice, we previously...

Christensen P, Preston A, Ling T, Du M, Fields W, Curtis J, et al.
Infect Immun
. 2008 May;
76(8):3481-90.
PMID: 18490462
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by the presence of airflow obstruction and lung destruction with airspace enlargement. In addition to cigarette smoking, respiratory pathogens play a role in...

PMID: 15385504
Surfactant protein A (SP-A), a member of the collectin family, selectively binds to Pneumocystis carinii and mediates interactions between pathogen and host alveolar macrophages in vitro. To test the hypothesis...

PMID: 15073692
Surfactant protein-D (SP-D), a member of the "collectin" family, has been shown to play a role in innate immunity through modulation of inflammation and clearance of organisms. The role of...

Infect Immun
. 2003 Sep;
71(10):5970-8.
PMID: 14500517
Patients with Pneumocystis pneumonia often develop respiratory failure after entry into medical care, and one mechanism for this deterioration may be increased alveolar epithelial cell injury. In vitro, we previously...

. 2003 Aug;
171(4):1969-77.
PMID: 12902500
Loss of T cell number and function during HIV infection or secondary to pharmacologic immunosuppression renders individuals susceptible to opportunistic infections, including Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. Because costimulatory receptors are critical...
