further
information.

Good review to read that turns the approach used in my lectures on it head as the authors use data from
Drosophila to understand the inflammatory response in mammals.
3. Interleukin-1 review
http://www.rndsystems.com/asp/g_sitebuilder.asp?bodyId=204
is an easy to understand review of interleukin –1 and its
receptors

These are all original papers BUT – even if you don’t
understand more than 50% - you should be still able to glean
a wealth of data
that I haven’t time to cover in the lectures.
6. Toll family
Medzhitov and Janeway (2000) The Toll receptor family and microbial recognition. Trends in Microbiology. 8, 452-456.
Easy to read introduction of Toll signalling in insects
and discusses Toll-like receptor in mammals.
7. Apoptosis- general reviews
http://www.ultranet.com/~jkimball/BiologyPages/A/Apoptosis.html
http://www.rndsystems.com/asp/r_apop00_mini.asp
Very good
reminders of apoptosis – recommended.

A reminder of apoptosis from last year – and takes you
further. Worth dipping into. .

State of play of
apoptosis research – for the enthusiast!

information if studied carefully.

A general review of Type III secretion mechanisms. Goes into some detail but even
the non-specialist will find something useful here.

Annual Reviews look forbidding but if you perceiver with this one you’ll find be able to glean
lots of information.

A more in depth review of the Pseudomonas
syringae hrp system.

If you’re interested in this subject- this sites explores the similarities of the hrp system to
that of flagella.

An excellent review on plant /
pathogen interations. Ideal for
the non-specialist too!
A must.
White et al., (2000) Curr. Opinion Plant Biology. 3, 291-298.
Investigates avirulence gene
“virulence function”. Takes my lectures to the next
stage of knowledge – BUT – any of you should find this one useful.

A bit more detailed than Ji et
al. – but gets to the nitty- gritty.
