Chagas cardiomyopathy is the symptomatic cardiac clinical form (CARD) of the chronic phase of Chagas disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi infection. It was described as the most fibrosing cardiomyopathies, affecting approximately 30% of patients during ...

Antigen-specific recognition is critical for the function of regulatory CD8+CD28− T cells [PDF]
The immunomodulatory properties of CD8 T cells with regulatory phenotype have become evident. It remains unclear whether the immunomodulatory function of CD8(+)CD28(-) T cells requires antigen-specific TCR interaction with major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I). We have isolated naïve CD8(+)CD28(-) T suppressor cells (Tsup) from H2-Kk Des-TCR

Nanobody based dual specific CARs [PDF]
Recent clinical trials have shown that adoptive chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is a very potent and possibly curative option in the treatment of B cell leukemias and lymphomas.

Early Investigations and Recent Advances in Intraperitoneal Immunotherapy for Peritoneal Metastasis. [PDF]
Peritoneal metastasis (PM) is an advanced stage malignancy largely refractory to modern therapy. Intraperitoneal (IP) immunotherapy offers a novel approach for the control of regional disease of the peritoneal cavity by breaking immune tolerance.

Donor T-cells contribute to reconstitution of protective immunity after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) but must acquire specific tolerance against recipient alloantigens to avoid life-threatening graft-versus-host disease (GvHD)

41BB-based and CD28-based CD123-redirected T-cells ablate human normal hematopoiesis in vivo
Background Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematopoietic malignancy which is biologically, phenotypically and genetically very heterogeneous. Outcome of patients with AML remains dismal, highlighting the need for improved, less toxic therapies ...

Thymic resident NKT cell subsets show differential requirements for CD28 co-stimulation during antigenic activation [PDF]
AbstractNatural killer T (NKT) cells rapidly respond to antigenic stimulation with cytokine production and direct cytotoxicity. These innate-like characteristics arise from their differentiation into mature effector cells during thymic development. A subset of mature NKT cells remain thymic resident, but their activation and function remain poorly ...

Two-year follow-up of macaques developing intermittent control of the human immunodeficiency virus homolog simian immunodeficiency virus SIVmac251 in the chronic phase of infection [PDF]
Off-therapy control of viremia by HIV-infected individuals has been associated with two likely players: a restricted viral reservoir and an efficient cell-mediated immune response.
