Abstract:

L'immunité juridictionnelle des États a été pendant des siècles une question incontestée fondée sur le principe de l'égalité des Etats et sur leur indépendance absolue. Cette règle a été élaborée à une époque où tenter une action contre un État dans un pays étranger aurait été considéré comme une violation de sa souveraineté. Toutefois, les fonctions des Etats ont changé au cours des siècles. Désormais, les Etats s’engagent dans les activités commerciales comme une personne privée et jouent un rôle essentiel dans ce secteur.Alors, bien que le droit de l'immunité soit lié à l'octroi de l'immuni

Les cellules dendritiques plasmacytoïdes (pDC) jouent un rôle clé lors des infections virales. Les pDCs ont la capacité de sécréter de grandes quantités d’interférons de type I et de se différencier en cellules dendritiques matures capables d’activer une réponse immunitaire adaptative.

À la pointe de cette nouvelle classe d'agents anticancéreux, les anticorps anti-PD-1 / PD-L1 peuvent ainsi restaurer une réponse efficace des cellules T antitumorales. En conséquence, ces agents sont maintenant approuvés dans divers types de tumeurs, tels que le mélanome, le cancer bronchique non à petites cellules, le cancer du rein, les tumeurs ORL ou le cancer de la vessie.

This thesis concerns the attempt to establish human rights exceptions to foreign state immunity. The problem has multiple facets. Firstly, suits against foreign governments should be distinguished from suits against foreign officials. Further, in the latter context there is a distinction both between criminal and civil cases and between cases against individuals with immunity ratione personae and those with immunity ratione materiae. Individuals suffering extraterritorial jus cogens violations have been increasingly seeking justice against foreign governments and officials. Restrictive immunit

Abstract:

Ants and other social Hymenoptera (social bees and wasps) have a remarkable mating strategy. Social Hymenoptera live in societies where reproduction is monopolized by a fertile caste consisting of males and queens. On the other hand, the logistical tasks of the colony are carried out by a sterile female caste known as workers. Reproductive individuals mate during a single bout early in their life and will never engage in additional reproductive events later on. Males die soon after mating while queens store millions of sperm cells in a specialized organ, the spermatheca. Queens will use this s

A cross-linking model for the activation of the A cell or immune accessory cell as a function of certain extracellular conditions is developed to determine the valency of the specific factor receptor on the A cell surface. It is found that such a determination can be made based on the FWHM of cross-linking curves which differ by a full order of magnitude between the bivalent receptor case and the monovalent receptor case. This determination can be made provided one can obtain accurate values for the equilibrium constants which characterize the system and provided that activation and IL-1 secre

Abstract:

<p>More than a century after the identification of the tubercle bacillus and the first attempts at vaccination, tuberculosis (TB) still remains one of the world’s most serious infectious diseases. TB, caused by the bacterium <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>, is typically a disease of the lung, which serves both as port of entry and as the major site of disease manifestation. The currently used vaccine, BCG, is administered parenterally and induces a systemic immune response. However, it fails to protect against pulmonary TB, thereby raising the question whether vaccination targeting the mucos

Likewise, immune responses induced in the respiratory tract following immunization would be more effective against mycobacterial infection. We showed

Network decontamination is a well known mobile agent problem with many applications. We assume that all nodes of a network are contaminated (e.g., by a virus) and a set of agents is deployed to decontaminate them. An agent passing by a node decontaminates it, however a decontaminated node can be recontaminated if any of its neighbours is contaminated. In the vast literature a variety of models are considered and different assumptions are made on the power of the agents. In this thesis we study variation of the decontamination problem in mesh and tori topologies, under the assumption that when

Exposed DAMPs are then recognised by receptors of the innate immune system.

The use of naturally resistant crop varieties can limit crop losses, however new races of pathogen can arise that are able to overcome these defences.

NB-LRRs are a large of proteins found in both plants and animals, with plant NB-LRRs further classified by the presence of N-terminal coiled-coil or toll-interleukin receptor domains. Although

Many types of immune cells rely on secretory lysosomes to execute their function. These specialised organelles perform the catabolic function of conventional lysosomes and possess the added capacity to undergo regulated exocytosis. In particular, the cytotoxic function of natural killer (NK) cells depends on the rapid, polarised secretion of secretory lysosomes, known as lytic granules, for the targeted destruction of malignant and virally infected cells. Dysregulation of the biogenesis and exocytosis of secretory lysosomes is the cause of several severe immunological diseases such as Chédiak-

Abstract:

Hard corals underpin the existence and biodiversity of tropical reefs, however they are declining globally at an alarming rate, largely because of increases in disease prevalence and thermal bleaching events. Despite extensive documentation of coral reef demise, no substantive investigations into the coral host's biological mechanisms for disease resistance, bleaching mitigation or wound healing have been conducted. Coral immunology may therefore provide important insights into understanding the capacity of corals to resist global coral declines. The principal objectives of this thesis were th

Abstract:

Nutrition plays an important role in modulating livestock species immunity. Therefore, this thesis aimed at evaluating the effects of different dietary molecules used in animal nutrition on mammalian and avian immunity. Both, in vitro functional analyses and OMIC technologies (proteomics and miRNAomics) were implemented herein for an integral characterization of the molecules’ impact on the animals’ immune response. Specifically, in this thesis the in vitro impact of the n-6 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), citrus pectin (CP), and porcine milk exosomes and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)

Abstract:

Le mélanome est la forme la plus agressive des cancers de la peau. Si sa prise en charge à des stades précoces est de bon pronostic, l’espérance de vie des patients chute dramatiquement pour les stades métastatiques. Malgré les avancées thérapeutiques spectaculaires récentes, le problème majeur réside dans la résistance aux traitements et la récidive et le défi principal est désormais de tendre vers un contrôle efficace et durable. Les anticorps monoclonaux (AcM) ont la capacité de cibler et éliminer spécifiquement la cellule tumorale tout en recrutant des cellules du système immunitaire, perm

Abstract:

Les syndromes neurologiques paranéoplasiques (SNP) sont des maladies neurologiques rares, associés à une réponse immunitaire efficace contre un cancer sous-jacent exprimant un antigène également exprimé par des cellules du système nerveux central (SNC). Le cancer déclenche alors une réponse auto-immune secondaire qui provoque la destruction des cellules du SNC. Certains travaux récents suggèrent que l'immunité à médiation cellulaire associée à des auto-anticorps reconnaissant des antigènes intracellulaires pourrait jouer un rôle majeur, bien qu'encore mal compris, dans la physiopathologie des
