Abstract Oral tolerance is a key feature of intestinal immunity, generating systemic tolerance to fed antigens. However, the molecular mechanism mediating oral tolerance remains unclear. In this study, we examined the role of the B7 family members of costimulatory molecules in the establishment of oral tolerance.

Synergistic effects of IL-4 and TNFα on the induction of B7-H1 in renal cell carcinoma cells inhibiting allogeneic T cell proliferation [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The importance of B7-H molecules for the T cell/tumor communication and its impact on renal cell carcinoma (RCC) progression and prognosis has been recently described.

Germline-encoded neutralization of a Staphylococcus aureus virulence factor by the human antibody repertoire. [PDF]
Staphylococcus aureus is both an important pathogen and a human commensal. To explore this ambivalent relationship between host and microbe, we analysed the memory humoral response against IsdB, a protein involved in iron acquisition, in four healthy ...

The PD-1/PD-L1 Axis and Virus Infections: A Delicate Balance [PDF]
Programmed cell death protein (PD-1) and its ligands play a fundamental role in the evasion of tumor cells from antitumor immunity. Less well appreciated is the fact that the PD-1/PD-L1 axis also regulates antiviral immune responses and is therefore ...

Specific zinc finger‐induced methylation of PD‐L1 promoter inhibits its expression
DNA methylation of promoter regions is often associated with epigenetic silencing of gene expression, and DNA methyltransferase (DNMTs) has been used to suppress gene expression.

Hantavirus-driven PD-L1/PD-L2 upregulation: An imperfect viral immune evasion mechanism [PDF]
Viruses often subvert antiviral immune responses by taking advantage of inhibitory immune signaling. We investigated if hantaviruses use this strategy.

Immunological backbone of uveal melanoma: is there a rationale for immunotherapy? [PDF]
No standard treatment has been established for metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM). Immunotherapy is commonly used for this disease even though UM has not been included in phase III clinical trials with checkpoint inhibitors.
