Human neutrophil clearance of bacterial pathogens triggers anti-microbial gamma delta T cell responses in early infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Human blood Vc9/Vd2 T cells, monocytes and neutrophils share a responsiveness toward inflammatory chemokines and are rapidly recruited to sites of infection.

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Antibody-guided identification of Achromobacter xylosoxidans protein antigens in cystic fibrosis

open access: yesmSphere
Persistent bacterial airway infection is a hallmark feature of cystic fibrosis (CF). Achromobacter spp. are gram-negative rods that can cause persistent airway infection in people with CF (pwCF), but the knowledge of host immune responses to these ...

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Immunologic and clinical features of bacterial uveitis

open access: yesРоссийский офтальмологический журнал
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 ...

Crossroads between bacterial and mammalian glycosyltransferases

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2014
Bacterial glycosyltransferases often synthesize the same glycan linkages as mammalian glycosyltransferases, yet they usually have very little sequence identity.

A novel self-lipid antigen targets human T cells against CD1c(+) leukemias [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
T cells that recognize self-lipids presented by CD1c are frequent in the peripheral blood of healthy individuals and kill transformed hematopoietic cells, but little is known about their antigen specificity and potential antileukemia effects.

Golgi enzymes are retrieved from the plasma membrane to the trans‐Golgi network

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Golgi enzymes are traditionally considered resident proteins retained within the Golgi apparatus. Here, we demonstrate that a subset transiently reaches the cell surface and is subsequently retrieved to the trans‐Golgi network via retrograde transport. Using a nanobody‐based toolkit, we uncover a dynamic trafficking cycle of several Golgi enzymes.

Inter-individual and inter-regional variability of breast milk antibody reactivity to bacterial lipopolysaccharides

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
Breast milk is a vital source of nutrients, prebiotics, probiotics, and protective factors, including antibodies, immune cells and antimicrobial proteins. Using bacterial lipopolysaccharide arrays, we investigated the reactivity and specificity of breast

Parasite Carbohydrate Vaccines

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
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
