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 ...

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 ...

CD8 + suppressor T cells have been demonstrated to provide protection of allografts from rejection. We previously reported that soluble peptide/HLA-A2 dimer shows peptide-specific inhibitory effects on alloresponse in a coculture of peptide-pulsed T2 ...

CD28 deficiency leads to accumulation of germinal-center independent IgM+ experienced B cells and to production of protective IgM during experimental malaria. [PDF]
Protective immunity to blood-stage malaria is attributed to Plasmodium-specific IgG and effector-memory T helper 1 (Th1) cells. However, mice lacking the costimulatory receptor CD28 (CD28KO) maintain chronic parasitemia at low levels and do not succumb ...

Accelerated immunosenescence in rheumatoid arthritis: impact on clinical progression
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) develop features of accelerated ageing, including immunosenescence. These changes include decreased thymic functionality, expansion of late-differentiated effector T cells, increased telomeric attrition, and ...

Cutting Edge: Monovalency of CD28 Maintains the Antigen Dependence of T Cell Costimulatory Responses [PDF]
Abstract CD28 and CTLA-4 are the major costimulatory receptors on naive T cells. But it is not clear why CD28 is monovalent whereas CTLA-4 is bivalent for their shared ligands CD80/86. We generated bivalent CD28 constructs by fusing the extracellular domains of CTLA-4 or CD80 with the intracellular domains of CD28. Bivalent or monovalent

A novel engineering strategy that establishes material design principles for incorporating anti‐inflammatory steroids into lipid nanoparticles to reduce LNP‐induced inflammation while retaining mRNA delivery. Results are validated in vitro and in three animal models of inflammation and autoimmunity in vivo.

In the recondite pulmonary neoplastic milieu, DESMIN+ cancer‐associated fibroblasts function as the paramount stromal source of IL‐8, precipitating a deleterious immunological metamorphosis by engaging CXCR2 receptors on the myeloid lineage. This paracrine stimulus triggers a mechanotransduction cascade characterized by RhoA‐dependent actin ...
