Age-related changes can significantly alter the state of adaptive immune system and often lead to attenuated response to novel pathogens and vaccination.

Intestinal macromolecular transport supporting adaptive immunity [PDF]
The gastrointestinal tract performs opposing functions of nutrient absorption, barrier maintenance, and the delivery of luminal substances for the appropriate induction of tolerogenic or protective adaptive immunity.

CD98hc facilitates B cell proliferation and adaptive humoral immunity. [PDF]
The proliferation of antigen-specific lymphocytes and resulting clonal expansion are essential for adaptive immunity. We report here that B cell-specific deletion of the heavy chain of CD98 (CD98hc) resulted in lower antibody responses due to total ...

Intratumoral immunoglobulin isotypes predict survival in lung adenocarcinoma subtypes
Background The role of tumor-infiltrating B-cells (TIBs) and intratumorally-produced antibodies in cancer-immunity interactions essentially remains terra incognita.

Measles-induced immune amnesia and its effects in concurrent epidemics [PDF]
It has been recently discovered that the measles virus can wipe out the adaptive immune system, destroying B lymphocytes and reducing the diversity of non-specific B cells of the infected host. In particular, this implies that previously acquired immunization from vaccination or direct exposition to other pathogens could be erased in a phenomenon named

Livestock abundance predicts vampire bat demography, immune profiles, and bacterial infection risk [PDF]
Human activities create novel food resources that can alter wildlife–pathogen interactions. If resources amplify or dampen, pathogen transmission probably depends on both host ecology and pathogen biology, but studies that measure responses to ...

Functionally specialized human CD4+ T-cell subsets express physicochemically distinct TCRs
The organizational integrity of the adaptive immune system is determined by functionally discrete subsets of CD4+ T cells, but it has remained unclear to what extent lineage choice is influenced by clonotypically expressed T-cell receptors (TCRs).

Surface NKG2C Identifies Differentiated αβT-Cell Clones Expanded in Peripheral Blood
T cells that express CD56 in peripheral blood of healthy humans represent a heterogeneous and poorly studied subset. In this work, we analyzed this subset for NKG2C expression. In both CD56+ and CD56− subsets most of the NKG2C+ T cells had a phenotype of
