Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) therapy is a new approach that utilizes bioengineering to modify immune cells so they are able to specifically target and kill pathogens or altered host immune cells (such as cancers). This approach involves generating modified cell surface molecules (chimeric receptors) and expressing these receptors in host immune cells. As these chimeric receptors recogn…
Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) show mortality at similar and higher levels compared to tuberculosis and malaria. Regarding neglected diseases, IFIs have a low financial support while tuberculosis and malaria are better supported. Since IFIs, candidiasis, aspergilosis, criptococosis and histoplasmosis have more effect on the global public health. The risk factors of IFIs are related to …
Fungal infections commit millions of lives each year and the cryptococcosis has important relevance because affects immunocomprised and healt individuals. Cryptococcosis representing one of the main causes of worldwide morbidity and mortality among HIV+ individuals. The advance in the development of new antifungal drugs against human cryptococcosis is outdated when considering the ability…
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PMC), caused mainly by the fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, is a systemic granulomatous mycosis of higher prevalence in South America with high correlation with individuals having rural activities. PMC caused about 51% of deaths caused by systemic mycoses in Brazil between the years 1996 and 2006, according to data from the Ministry of Health. The infection oc…
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a pathogenic fungus belonging to the genus Paracoccidioides that has a restricted location a Latin America with the highest occurrence of cases in Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela. It is dimorphic and presents the carbohydrate ±-1,3-glucan, a virulence factor that compromises the recognition of the fungus by cells of innate immunity through pattern recogniti…

Cryptococcus gattii is an enveloped yeast that belongs to the genus Cryptococcus remains one of the leading causes of criptococose in humans by inhalation of the propagules. The infection is persistent on respiratory tissues of immunocompromised individuals, but can also progress to meningoencephalitis and disseminate to other tissues. The C. gattii is an endemic pathogen classically loca…
Candida albicans is the most prevalent cause of invasive candidiasis (IC) in adult and pediatric patients, and this form of candidiasis is related to the translocation of Candida spp from the natural colonization site, such as the gastrointestinal tract and skin, into the bloodstream. The versatility of C. albicans in altering the morphogenesis between yeast and pseudohyphal / hyphal has …
Cryptococcosis is an opportunistic fungal infection caused by inhalation of propagules or spores of the etiologic agent Cryptococcus gattii or Cryptococcus neoformans. The C. gattii species affects mainly immunocompetent individuals, while C. neoformans, the immunocompromised ones, being responsible for fungal meningitis in a high number of adults with HIV. The pathogens C. neoformans and…

T cell interaction with antigen presenting cell (APC), in which T-cell receptor (TCR) recognizes peptide-MHC complexes (p-MHC), is required to recruit downstream signaling molecules and trigger T cell activation. It was recently demonstrated that chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) expressed on T cells recognizes proteins, glycoproteins, and glycolipids as potential targets on cells surface, …
