Computational strategies for dissecting the high-dimensional complexity of adaptive immune repertoires [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The adaptive immune system recognizes antigens via an immense array of antigen-binding antibodies and T-cell receptors, the immune repertoire. The interrogation of immune repertoires is of high relevance for understanding the adaptive immune response in disease and infection (e.g., autoimmunity, cancer, HIV).

Regulatory T cells suppress the formation of potent KLRK1 and IL-7R expressing effector CD8 T cells by limiting IL-2

open access: yeseLife, 2023
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are indispensable for maintaining self-tolerance by suppressing conventional T cells. On the other hand, Tregs promote tumor growth by inhibiting anticancer immunity.

Self-reactivity of CD8 T-cell clones determines their differentiation status rather than their responsiveness in infections

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Mature T cells are selected for recognizing self-antigens with low to intermediate affinity in the thymus. Recently, the relative differences in self-reactivity among individual T-cell clones were appreciated as important factors regulating their fate ...

'Towards a Conceptual Framework for Innate Immunity' [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Innate immunity now occupies a central role in immunology. However, artificial immune system models have largely been inspired by adaptive not innate immunity.

Pinpointing the tumor-specific T cells via TCR clusters

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Adoptive cell transfer (ACT) is a promising approach to cancer immunotherapy, but its efficiency fundamentally depends on the extent of tumor-specific T cell enrichment within the graft. This can be estimated via activation with identifiable neoantigens,

Human rhinovirus promotes STING trafficking to replication organelles to promote viral replication

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Evidence exists that the typically antiviral signaling mediator STING is, counterintuitively, needed for optimal human rhinovirus infection. Here the authors confirm this finding and show how human rhinovirus can reduce stored Ca2+ levels to drive this ...

Measuring Intratumoral Heterogeneity of Immune Repertoires

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2020
There is considerable clinical and fundamental value in measuring the clonal heterogeneity of T and B cell expansions in tumors and tumor-associated lymphoid structures—along with the associated heterogeneity of the tumor neoantigen landscape—but such ...

RNA-Seq-Based TCR Profiling Reveals Persistently Increased Intratumoral Clonality in Responders to Anti-PD-1 Therapy

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2020
Substantial effort is being invested in the search for peripheral or intratumoral T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire features that could predict the response to immunotherapy.

The use of non-functional clonotypes as a natural calibrator for quantitative bias correction in adaptive immune receptor repertoire profiling

open access: yeseLife, 2023
High-throughput sequencing of adaptive immune receptor repertoires is a valuable tool for receiving insights in adaptive immunity studies. Several powerful TCR/BCR repertoire reconstruction and analysis methods have been developed in the past decade ...

Novel bimodal TRBD1-TRBD2 rearrangements with dual or absent D-region contribute to TRB V-(D)-J combinatorial diversity

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
T-cell receptor (TR) diversity of the variable domains is generated by recombination of both the alpha (TRA) and beta (TRB) chains. The textbook process of TRB chain production starts with TRBD and TRBJ gene rearrangement, followed by the rearrangement ...
