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).

Adaptive Immunity to Fungi [PDF]
Life-threatening fungal infections have risen sharply in recent years, owing to the advances and intensity of medical care that may blunt immunity in patients. This emerging crisis has created the growing need to clarify immune defense mechanisms against fungi with the ultimate goal of therapeutic intervention.

Let’s Tie the Knot: Marriage of Complement and Adaptive Immunity in Pathogen Evasion, for Better or Worse [PDF]
The complement system is typically regarded as an effector arm of innate immunity, leading to recognition and killing of microbial invaders in body fluids.

Bacterial Modulation of Fc Effector Functions [PDF]
Immunoglobulins (Igs, antibodies) are key players in adaptive immunity, and pathways mediated through the effector Fc portion of Ig are instrumental in controlling bacterial infections.

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

Trained Immunity as an Adaptive Branch of Innate Immunity [PDF]
The concept of trained immunity has become one of the most interesting and potentially commercially and clinically relevant ideas of current immunology. Trained immunity is realized by the epigenetic reprogramming of non-immunocompetent cells, primarily ...

Innate and Adaptive Immunity in Immune Thrombocytopenia [PDF]
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by both accelerated clearance of autoantibody-sensitized platelets and suboptimal platelet production. A number of studies have provided evidence of disturbed innate and adaptive immune responses in patients with ITP.

Host-microbiota interactions and adaptive immunity. [PDF]
All mucosal surfaces are colonized with a vast number of microbes, which are essential for stimulating and regulating the immune system. While intrinsic and innate mechanisms exist to promote a strong barrier between the microbiota and the host to ensure

Influence of tumours on protective anti-tumour immunity and the effects of irradiation [PDF]
Innate and adaptive immunity play important roles in the development and progression of cancer and it is becoming apparent that tumours can influence the induction of potentially protective responses in a number of ways.
