Antigen-presentation of non-peptidic antigens lipid trafficking and loading [PDF]
T cells recognize a broad variety of antigens, including peptides, lipids and non-peptidic phosphorylated metabolites. Clarification of the rules rendering non-peptidic molecules immunogenic is essential to understand and to influence the reactions of ...

Introduction: Psoriasis is a long-lasting autoimmune disease mediated by T-lymphocytes and dendritic cells. Langerhans cells are a unique population of dendritic cells found in the epidermis, where they can be identified by Cluster of Differentiation 1a (

CD1a autoreactivity: When size does matter [PDF]
CD1a-autoreactive T cells represent a significant proportion of circulating αβ T cells in humans and appear to be enriched in the skin. How their autoreactivity is regulated remains unclear. In this issue of JEM, Cotton et al. (2021. J. Exp. Med.https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20202699) show that CD1a molecules do not randomly survey cellular lipids but ...

CD1a selectively captures endogenous cellular lipids that broadly block T cell response [PDF]
We optimized lipidomics methods to broadly detect endogenous lipids bound to cellular CD1a proteins. Whereas membrane phospholipids dominate in cells, CD1a preferentially captured sphingolipids, especially a C42, doubly unsaturated sphingomyelin (42:2 SM)

Human monocytes differentiate into dendritic cells subsets that induce anergic and regulatory T cells in sepsis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Sepsis is a multifactorial pathology with high susceptibility to secondary infections. Innate and adaptive immunity are affected in sepsis, including monocyte deactivation.

Human skin is colonized by T cells that recognize CD1a independently of lipid [PDF]
CD1a-autoreactive T cells contribute to skin disease, but the identity of immunodominant self-lipid antigens and their mode of recognition are not yet solved. In most models, MHC and CD1 proteins serve as display platforms for smaller antigens.

Atypical sideways recognition of CD1a by autoreactive γδ T cell receptors [PDF]
CD1a is a monomorphic antigen-presenting molecule on dendritic cells that presents lipids to αβ T cells. Whether CD1a represents a ligand for other immune receptors remains unknown.

Human CD1a Deficiency Is Common and Genetically Regulated [PDF]
Abstract CD1 proteins evolved to present diverse lipid Ags to T cells. In comparison with MHC proteins, CD1 proteins exhibit minimal allelic diversity as a result of nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). However, it is unknown if common SNPs in gene regulatory regions affect CD1 expression and function.

Spider venoms are rich sources of peptidic ion channel modulators with important therapeutical potential. We screened a panel of 60 spider venoms to find modulators of ion channels involved in pain transmission.

Microsatellite instability (MSI) is characterized by a highly immunogenic tumor phenotype and abundant lymphocytic infiltrates. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between four immunohistochemically determined classes of dendritic ...
