NanoAPC deliver antigen, IL-2 and co-stimulatory molecules to antigen specific T cells and activate viral specific T cells in chronic infections [PDF]
This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.The study of the immune system has provided insight in the mechanism of protection induced by vaccination; primarily that most clinically protective ...

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

Main Components of Fish Immunity: An Overview of the Fish Immune System
Cellular immune responses consist of innate and adaptive cell-mediated immune mechanisms, where all leukocyte subpopulations are included. Among these are vital processes such as cell-mediated cytotoxicity and phagocytosis. The main cellular constituents

THE LYMPH SELF ANTIGEN REPERTOIRE
The lymphatic fluid originates from the interstitial fluid which bathes every parenchymal organ and reflects the omic composition of the tissue from which it originates in its physiological or pathological signature.

Presentation of CMV immediate-early antigen to cytolytic T lymphocytes is selectively prevented by viral genes expressed in the early phase [PDF]
The regulation of antigen processing and presentation to MHC class I-restricted cytolytic T lymphocytes was studied in cells infected with murine cytomegalovirus. Recognition by cytolytic T lymphocytes of the phosphoprotein pp89, the immunodominant viral

Lysosomes and lysosome‐related organelles in immune responses
The catabolic, degradative capacity of the endo‐lysosome system is put to good use in mammalian immune responses as is their recently established status as signaling platforms.

Making Insulin and Staying Out of Autoimmune Trouble: The Beta-Cell Conundrum
Autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from the intricate crosstalk of various immune cell types. CD8+ T cells dominate the pro-inflammatory milieu of islet infiltration (insulitis), and are considered as key effectors of beta-cell destruction, through

Identification of proteases employed by dendritic cells in the processing of protein purified derivative (PPD) [PDF]
Dendritic cells (DC) are known to present exogenous protein Ag effectively to T cells. In this study we sought to identify the proteases that DC employ during antigen processing.

Neo-Splicetopes in Tumor Therapy: A Lost Case?
Proteasome generates spliced peptides by ligating two distant cleavage products in a reverse proteolysis reaction. The observation that CD8+ T cells recognizing a spliced peptide induced T cell rejection in a melanoma patient following adoptive T cell ...

Direct evidence that the N-terminal extensions of the TAP complex act as autonomous interaction scaffolds for the assembly of the MHC I peptide-loading complex [PDF]
The loading of antigenic peptides onto major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I) molecules is an essential step in the adaptive immune response against virally or malignantly transformed cells.
