TB vaccines: current status and future perspectivesImmunology and Cell Biology - Tập 87 Số 4 - Trang 279-286 - 2009

Vaccines against intracellular pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis need to induce strong cellular immune responses. Antigen discovery programs have exploited this and used proteome studies and T‐cell recognition in PPD‐positive individuals to select proteins and after testing for protective efficacy in animals the most promising proteins have been put to...... hiện toàn bộ
Novel adjuvant based on a proteoliposome‐derived cochleate structure containing native lipopolysaccharide as a pathogen‐associated molecular patternImmunology and Cell Biology - Tập 82 Số 6 - Trang 603-610 - 2004

Proteoliposomes (PL) from Neisseria meningitidis B have been widely used as a core antigen for antimeningococcal vaccination. PL contain major outer membrane proteins, LPS and phospholipids, and they induce a strong Th1 immune response, but they have low stability in solution. Attending to the need for new vaccine adjuvants, we developed a highly stable cochleate...... hiện toàn bộ
Why is effective treatment of asthma so difficult? An integrated systems biology hypothesis of asthmaImmunology and Cell Biology - Tập 87 Số 8 - Trang 601-605 - 2009
Norbert F. Voelkel, Sarah Spiegel
A hypothesis is presented that asthma is not only an airway disease, but that the disease involves the entire lung, and that the chronicity of asthma and asthma exacerbations can perhaps be explained if one considers asthma as a systemic disease. Increased lung—not only airway—vascularity may be the result of the action of angiogenesis factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (V...... hiện toàn bộ
STUDIES ON CYTOPHILIC ANTIBODIESImmunology and Cell Biology - Tập 46 Số 1 - Trang 51-61 - 1968
Steven Kossard, D. S. Nelson
SummaryAn attempt was made to study the. dynamics of the interaction between cytophilie antibodies and the macrophage surface. Two aspects of the problem received particular attention: (1) the ability of macrophage cytophilic antibodies to sensitize (confer an affinity for antigen upon) cells of different species, and (2) the inhibitory effect of normal sera on hom...... hiện toàn bộ
Linking the T cell receptor to the single cell transcriptome in antigen‐specific human T cellsImmunology and Cell Biology - Tập 94 Số 6 - Trang 604-611 - 2016

Heterogeneity of T cells is a hallmark of a successful adaptive immune response, harnessing the vast diversity of antigen‐specific T cells into a coordinated evolution of effector and memory outcomes. The T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire is highly diverse to account for the highly heterogeneous antigenic world. During the response to a virus multiple individual clones of antigen specific C...... hiện toàn bộ
Regulating B‐cell activation and survival in response to TLR signalsImmunology and Cell Biology - Tập 85 Số 6 - Trang 471-475 - 2007
Steve Gerondakis, Raelene J. Grumont, Ashish Banerjee
Following encounters with microbes, cellular activation programs that involve the control of proliferation and survival are initiated in follicular B cells either via the B‐cell receptor in a specific antigen‐defined manner, or through Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) that recognize specific microbial products. This review summarizes and discusses recent findings that shed light on how the nucle...... hiện toàn bộ
IL‐1β transcript stability in monocytes is linked to cytoskeletal reorganization and the availability of mRNA degradation factorsImmunology and Cell Biology - Tập 80 Số 4 - Trang 328-339 - 2002
Oksana I. Sirenko, Ulrich Böcker, J. Steven Morris, J. S. Haskill, Janet Watson
Monocyte extravasation initiates reorganization of the cytoskeleton (CSK) and adhesion‐dependent cytokine gene transcription. The actin CSK is thought to be crucial for compartmentalization and translation of mRNA, many of which contain AU‐rich (ARE) instability motifs in the 3′ untranslated region. We investigated regulation of adhesion‐induced IL‐1β expression by the monocyte CSK. In ser...... hiện toàn bộ
