T Cell Immunity to Bacterial Pathogens: Mechanisms of Immune Control and Bacterial Evasion
The human body frequently encounters harmful bacterial pathogens and employs immune defense mechanisms designed to counteract such pathogenic assault. In the adaptive immune system, major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted αβ T cells, along with

We have previously demonstrated that human peripheral blood low density mononuclear cells cultured in granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin (IL)-4 develop into dendritic cells (DCs) that are extremely efficient in ...

Crossroads between bacterial and mammalian glycosyltransferases
Bacterial glycosyltransferases often synthesize the same glycan linkages as mammalian glycosyltransferases, yet they usually have very little sequence identity.

The strong adjuvant activity and low enterotoxicity of the novel mucosal adjuvant double mutant Escherichia coli heat labile toxin, LT(R192G/L211A) or dmLT, demonstrated in mice, makes this molecule a promising adjuvant candidate.

In vivo IL‐10 produced by tissue‐resident tolDC is involved in maintaining/inducing tolerance. Depending on the agent used for ex vivo tolDC generation, cells acquire common features but prime T cells towards anergy, FOXP3+ Tregs, or Tr1 cells according to the levels of IL‐10 produced. Ex vivo‐induced tolDC were administered to patients to re‐establish/

Parasite Carbohydrate Vaccines
Vaccination is an efficient means of combating infectious disease burden globally. However, routine vaccines for the world's major human parasitic diseases do not yet exist. Vaccines based on carbohydrate antigens are a viable option for parasite vaccine

Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one‐third of the global population and poses a significant risk of progression to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Here, we discuss the roles of hepatic dendritic cell subtypes in MASLD, highlighting their distinct contributions to disease initiation and progression, and their ...

Immunologic and clinical features of bacterial uveitis
Bacterial infection is one of the etiologic factors of inflammation of the uvea. Bacterial agents capable of provoking the development of uveitis are numerous and diverse (Gram-positive and Gram-negative; bacilli, cocci, and flagellates; aerobic and ...

Identification of a CD4+ T cell-stimulating antigen of pathogenic bacteria by expression cloning. [PDF]
Identifying the immunogenic proteins that elicit pathogen-specific T cell responses is key to rational vaccine design. While several approaches have succeeded in identifying major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I bound peptides that stimulate CD8+

WDFY4 is required for cross-presentation in response to viral and tumor antigens
Adding to the cross-presentation family Immune responses to viral or tumor antigens are typically initiated by the process of cross-presentation. Cross-presentation is believed to be the major way that innate immune cells, such as the classical dendritic
