Quantitation of antigen-specific CD8+ T-cell responses
Enumeration of antigen-specific CD8+ T-cells has traditionally been largely dependent on the use of techniques that require a period of expansion in vitro. However the recent emergence of methods that can be used directly ex vivo to quantify antigen-specific CD8+ T cells has prompted a re-evaluation of the magnitude of viral-specific cellular immune ...

Immunogenicity of targeted lentivectors [PDF]
To increase the safety and possibly efficacy of HIV-1 derived lentivectors (LVs) as an anti-cancer vaccine, we recently developed the Nanobody (Nb) display technology to target LVs to antigen presenting cells (APCs).

MHC-based detection of antigen-specific CD8+ T cell responses [PDF]
The hallmark of adaptive immunity is its ability to recognise a wide range of antigens and technologies that capture this diversity are therefore of substantial interest. New methods have recently been developed that allow the parallel analysis of T cell reactivity against vast numbers of different epitopes in limited biological material.

Immunotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma: the complex interface between inflammation, fibrosis, and the immune response. [PDF]
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide and confers a poor prognosis. Beyond standard systemic therapy with multikinase inhibitors, recent studies demonstrate the potential for robust and durable responses ...

Activated integrins identify functional antigen-specific CD8+T cells within minutes after antigen stimulation [PDF]
SignificanceAssessing antigen-specific T cells is crucial for our understanding of immune reactions against pathogens and tumors, and for evaluating immunotherapies in patients. Existing techniques to evaluate the functionality of T lymphocytes all rely on de novo expression of proteins, typically intracellular cytokines, and therefore require ...

Increasing evidence suggests that post-translational peptide splicing can play a role in the immune response under pathological conditions. This seems to be particularly relevant in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) since post-translationally spliced epitopes ...

Tumor derived Microvesicles enhance cross-processing ability of clinical grade Dendritic Cells [PDF]
Tumor cells release extracellular microvesicles (MVs) in the microenvironment to deliver biological signals to neighbouring cells as well as to cells in distant tissues.

CD8– dendritic cells preferentially cross‐present Saccharomyces cerevisiae antigens [PDF]
AbstractMouse splenic dendritic cell (DC) subsets possess distinct antigen‐presentation abilities. CD8+ DC are specialized in cross‐presentation of antigens to CD8+ T cells, whereas CD8– DC are more efficient in antigen presentation to CD4+ T cells. In this study, we examined the capacity of CD8+ and CD8– DC subsets to present fungal antigens in MHC ...

Spatial coordination of CD8 and TCR molecules controls antigen recognition by CD8+ T‐cells
The interactions between the TCR and peptides bound to class I MHC encoded molecules (pMHC) and a mechanism for CD8 cooperation in this process are reviewed. Observation of two TCR/CD8 populations with different lateral diffusion rate constants as well as two distinct association phases of class I MHC tetramers ((pMHC)4) with T‐cells suggest that the ...
