ABSTRACT Background Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by antibody‐mediated complement activation. Efgartigimod, a neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) antagonist, is approved for treating generalized MG (gMG). However, its modulatory effects on upstream innate and adaptive immune cells remain largely unexplored.

Cutting Edge: Cross-Presented Intracranial Antigen Primes CD8+ T Cells [PDF]
Abstract The CNS is considered immune privileged due to the blood-brain barrier and the absence of conventional lymphatics. Nonetheless, T cell immune responses specific for CNS Ag have been documented. Where these events are initiated and what cellular mechanisms are involved remain unknown. In this study, we established an experimental

Nonclassical MHC Ib-restricted CD8+ T Cells Recognize Mycobacterium tuberculosis-Derived Protein Antigens and Contribute to Protection Against Infection. [PDF]
MHC Ib-restricted CD8+ T cells have been implicated in host defense against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection. However, the relative contribution of various MHC Ib-restricted T cell populations to anti-mycobacterial immunity remains elusive.

Shared Genetic Effects and Antagonistic Pleiotropy Between Multiple Sclerosis and Common Cancers
ABSTRACT Objective Epidemiologic studies have reported inconsistent altered cancer risk in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Factors such as immune dysregulation, comorbidities, and disease‐modifying therapies may contribute to this variability.

Postthymic maturation influences the CD8 T cell response to antigen [PDF]
Complete T cell development requires postthymic maturation, and we investigated the influence of this ontological period on the CD8 T cell response to infection by comparing responses of mature CD8 T cells with those of recent thymic emigrants (RTEs). When activated with a noninflammatory stimulus or a bacterial or viral pathogen, CD8 RTEs generated a ...

Cryptosporidium Priming Is More Effective than Vaccine for Protection against Cryptosporidiosis in a Murine Protein Malnutrition Model [PDF]
Cryptosporidium is a major cause of severe diarrhea, especially in malnourished children. Using a murine model of C. parvum oocyst challenge that recapitulates clinical features of severe cryptosporidiosis during malnutrition, we interrogated the effect ...

ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to investigate the immunological response to influenza vaccination, the incidence and severity of influenza infection, and the side effects of the vaccination in patients with ischemic stroke. Methods This prospective observational study was conducted between 2023 and 2024 at Ramathibodi Hospital.

Modulation of CD8 and CD3 by HIV or HIV Antigens [PDF]
To investigate whether human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)‐1 and HIV‐1 antigens modulate surface and cytoplasmic CD8 or CD3, as well as CD4, we used cell permeabilization reagents, surface/cytoplasmic fluorescent staining, multiparameter flow cytometric techniques and an in vitro culture system in which relatively few lymphocytes are actively infected ...
