Congenital Chagas Murine Model Development and Nanovaccine Efficacy Against Maternal-fetal Trypanosoma cruzi Pathogenesis
Maternal infection with Trypanosoma cruzi (Tc) parasite can lead to the vertical transmission from mother to fetus known as congenital Chagas’ disease (cCD). The objective was to develop a murine model of cCD to test the efficacy of a DNA nanovaccine developed by our laboratory. In this …

The Role of the PD-1 Immunoreceptor in Pregnancy
During pregnancy, the maternal immune system must be carefully modulated as the fetus is immunologically foreign to her leukocytes. We propose that the CD28 family immune receptor, PD-1, functions during pregnancy to control maternal immune reactions. PD-1 is expressed on T lymphocytes and …
