DNA ligase LigE increases bacterial transformation with damaged extracellular DNA
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The DNA ligase LigE from the naturally competent Gram‐negative bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoaea increases transformation with cut extracellular DNA. This process is ATP‐dependent and relies on the catalytic activity of LigE; it also requires that LigE contains an intact periplasmic localisation sequence, indicating that ligE functions in the periplasm ...

Specific selection of antigen-reactive lymphocytes into antigenically stimulated lymph nodes in sheep [PDF]
, 1981 Sheep were primed to a variety of antigens and the efferent lymphatic from a popliteal lymph node was cannulated. The cannulated node was challenged repeatedly with PPD and all the lymph and cells removed from the animal.

An insight into the origin, distribution, and techniques of demonstration of Langerhans cells
SRM Journal of Research in Dental Sciences, 2017 Langerhans cells (LCs), first described by Paul Langerhans, a German physician in 1868, are dendritic cells predominantly observed in the suprabasal layers of the epidermis and the oral epithelium.

How structural disorder and polyelectrolyte properties of prothymosin α enable its large interactome
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In this review, complexes of the fully disordered and highly negatively charged prothymosin α are collected, described, and discussed. Linked to its poly‐electrostatic character, prothymosin α engages a large interactome through multiple different binding modes ranging from fully disordered complexes to short linear motif (SLiM)‐driven interactions ...

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 ...

Insulin-degrading enzyme regulates insulin-directed cellular autoimmunity in murine type 1 diabetes
Frontiers in ImmunologyType 1 diabetes results from the destruction of pancreatic beta cells by autoreactive T cells. As an autoantigen with extremely high expression in beta cells, insulin triggers and sustains the autoimmune CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses and islet ...

Proteomic Analysis of Human Immune Responses to Live-Attenuated Tularemia Vaccine
Vaccines, 2020 Francisella tularensis (F. tularensis) is an intracellular pathogen that causes a potentially debilitating febrile illness known as tularemia. F. tularensis can be spread by aerosol transmission and cause fatal pneumonic tularemia.
