Antigen presentation by Langerhans cells [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Immunology, 2013
Langerhans cells and other skin-resident dendritic cells (DC) are required for the development of cutaneous adaptive immune responses. In vivo experiments using mice with selective DC-subset deficiencies and ex vivo experiments using isolated DC suggests that each subset makes a unique contribution to the adaptive response.

Dendritic cell subsets in cancer immunity and tumor antigen sensing

open access: yesCellular & Molecular Immunology, 2023
Dendritic cells (DCs) exhibit a specialized antigen-presenting function and play crucial roles in both innate and adaptive immune responses. Due to their ability to cross-present tumor cell-associated antigens to naïve T cells, DCs are instrumental in ...

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Direct delivery of immune modulators to tumour‐infiltrating lymphocytes using engineered extracellular vesicles

open access: yesJournal of Extracellular Vesicles
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important mediators of cell–cell communication, including immune regulation. Despite the recent development of several EV‐based cancer immunotherapies, their clinical efficacy remains limited.

The second touch hypothesis: T cell activation, homing and polarization [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/2w7]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2014
The second touch hypothesis states that T cell activation, proliferation, induction of homing receptors and polarization are distinguishable and, at least in part, sequential. The second touch hypothesis maintains that full T cell polarization requires T

Using Adjuvants to Drive T Cell Responses for Next-Generation Infectious Disease Vaccines

open access: yesVaccines, 2021
Using adjuvants to drive features of T cell responses to vaccine antigens is an important technological challenge in the design of new and improved vaccines against infections.

The case for absolute ligand discrimination : modeling information processing and decision by immune T cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Some cells have to take decision based on the quality of surroundings ligands, almost irrespective of their quantity, a problem we name "absolute discrimination". An example of absolute discrimination is recognition of not-self by immune T Cells. We show

Pros and Cons of Antigen-Presenting Cell Targeted Tumor Vaccines

open access: yesJournal of Immunological Research, 2015
In therapeutic antitumor vaccination, dendritic cells play the leading role since they decide if, how, when, and where a potent antitumor immune response will take place.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...
