Dendritic cells in human renal inflammation - Part II [PDF]
Dendritic cells (DCs) are bone marrow-derived professional antigen-presenting cells that act as master regulators of acquired and innate immune responses. Here, we review the available information on their role in human renal inflammation.

Normal T cell homeostasis: the conversion of naive cells into memory-phenotype cells [PDF]
Weak T cell antigen receptor (TCR) signals from contact with self ligands act in synergy with antiapoptotic signals induced by interleukin 7 (IL-7) to promote the survival of naive T cells in a resting state.

Detection of cytoplasmic CD antigens within normal human peripheral blood leucocytes [PDF]
Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) are capable of synthesizing various pro-inflammatory cytokines which may indirectly influence specific immune responses. PMNs may also have the capacity to present foreign peptides to helper T cells (Th cells).

An epithelial GPR35 isoform supports tumor‐associated transcriptional and metabolic phenotypes
GPR35 generates two functionally distinct isoforms with previously unresolved roles. GPR35‐short mediates immune‐cell chemotaxis, while GPR35‐long is enriched in colorectal cancer epithelium, where it supports increased metabolism, proliferation, and tumor‐associated transcriptional programs.
