Abstract
Research project is based on investigation of immunopathological events in chronic bacterial lesions, caused by certain pathogenic and oportunistic bacterial species (streptococci, anaerobic bacteria, Helicobacter pylori, Borrelia burgdorferi, mycobacteria). The study of immune response against distinct bacterial species and strains may be of value for understanding immune events in cronically inflammed tisue lesions, colonised by distinct bacterial strains. An analysis of immunopathological events may be useful in diagnostic and prognostic consideration of chronic bacterial lesions. We will also establish and make an analysis of a mouse model of chronic bacterial infection (cotton trap) to get a deeper insight into interactions between immune cells and distinct bacterial strains. By using our model we will mimic a chronical infectious process that can be in details analysed by flow cytometry as the most accurate method for analysing lymphocyte populations and lymphocyte activation molecules.
