Microsomal membranes from antigen presenting cells present antigenic peptides to T cells: a novel approach in vaccine development. [PDF]

, 2010
PhDThe study of the immune system has provided insight in the mechanism of protection induced by vaccination; primarily that most clinically protective vaccines are potent in generating neutralizing antibody responses.

Chemotherapy enhances cross-presentation of nuclear tumor antigens. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Cross-presentation of tumor antigen is essential for efficient priming of naïve CD8⁺ T lymphocytes and induction of effective anti-tumor immunity. We hypothesized that the subcellular location of a tumor antigen could affect the efficiency of cross ...

Antigen-presentation of non-peptidic antigens lipid trafficking and loading [PDF]

, 2010
T cells recognize a broad variety of antigens, including peptides, lipids and non-peptidic phosphorylated metabolites. Clarification of the rules rendering non-peptidic molecules immunogenic is essential to understand and to influence the reactions of ...

Dysregulated Circulating Dendritic Cell Function in Ulcerative Colitis Is Partially Restored by Probiotic Strain Lactobacillus casei Shirota

Mediators of Inflammation, 2013
Background. Dendritic cells regulate immune responses to microbial products and play a key role in ulcerative colitis (UC) pathology. We determined the immunomodulatory effects of probiotic strain Lactobacillus casei Shirota (LcS) on human DC

Identification and molecular characterization of oat peptides implicated on coeliac immune response

Food & Nutrition Research, 2016
Background: Oats provide important nutritional and pharmacological properties, although their safety in coeliac patients remains controversial. Previous studies have confirmed that the reactivity of the anti-33-mer monoclonal antibody with different oat ...

HLA-E Peptide Repertoire and Dimorphism—Centerpieces in the Adaptive NK Cell Puzzle?

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Adaptive Natural Killer (NK) cells, a heterogenous subpopulation of human NK cells with a unique phenotypic and functional signature, became arguably one of the central areas of interest in the field.

Antigen presentation in uveitis [PDF]

Eye, 1997
Experimental autoimmune uveoretinits (EAU) is not only a valuable model for human inflammatory eye diseases, it is also a useful system for studying many aspects of immunobiology. One such aspect is self/non-self discrimination, the ability of the immune system to tolerate self molecules while responding aggressively to foreign antigens. Our laboratory

Antigen - presentation by vascular endothelium : its role for CTL - mediated vascular injury [PDF]

, 2008
Background: EC express and present MHC class I restricted peptide antigens and due to the exposed position may be targeted by antigen-specific CTL. We wished to explore the type of vascular injury that is mediated by peptidespecific CTL in vivo when EC ...

Varicellovirus UL 49.5 proteins differentially affect the function of the transporter associated with antigen processing, TAP [PDF]

, 2008
Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes play an important role in the protection against viral infections, which they detect through the recognition of virus-derived peptides, presented in the context of MHC class I molecules at the surface of the infected cell.

Endothelial cells as targets for antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: In this study we have examined human vascular endothelial cells as targets for antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Vascular endothelial cells (EC) act as the major interface between blood and tissues and are crucial for the ...
