Gene-Specific Sex Effects on Susceptibility to Infectious Diseases.

Frontiers in immunology - 1 Jan 2021

Lipoldová Marie, Demant Peter

Abstract excerpt

Inflammation is an integral part of defense against most infectious diseases. These pathogen-induced immune responses are in very many instances strongly influenced by host's sex. As a consequence, sexual dimorphisms were observed in susceptibility to many infectious diseases. They are pathogen dose-dependent, and their outcomes depend on pathogen and even on its species or subspecies. Sex may differentially...
