TCR Vβ Usage of Peripheral Blood and Liver Infiltrating Lymphocytes in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B

open access: yesAnnals of Hepatology, 2018
Introduction. Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is still a public health problem and its mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we detect the skewness of T cell receptor beta chain variable gene (TCR Vβ) in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) and the liver ...

Preimmune Control of the Variance of TCR CDR-B3: Insights Gained From Germline Replacement of a TCR Dβ Gene Segment With an Ig DH Gene Segment

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
We have previously shown that the sequence of the immunoglobulin diversity gene segment (DH) helps dictate the structure and composition of complementarity determining region 3 of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (CDR-H3).

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Antibody Repertoire Development in Fetal and Neonatal Piglets. II. Characterization of Heavy Chain Complementarity-Determining Region 3 Diversity in the Developing Fetus [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Immunology, 2000
Abstract Since the actual combinatorial diversity in the VH repertoire in fetal piglets represents <1% of the potential in mice and humans, we wondered whether 1) complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) diversity was also restricted; 2) CDR3 diversity changed with fetal age; and 3) to what extent CDR3 contributed to the ...

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

In Silico Prediction Analysis of Idiotope-Driven T–B Cell Collaboration in Multiple Sclerosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
Memory B cells acting as antigen-presenting cells are believed to be important in multiple sclerosis (MS), but the antigen they present remains unknown.

Analysis of T Cell Receptor Variable Regions and Complementarity Determining Region 3 of Infiltrating T Lymphocytes in the Liver of Patients with Chronic Type B Hepatitis

open access: yesIntervirology, 2003
<i>Objectives:</i> T cell receptor (TCR) variable regions and complementarity determining regions 3 (CDR3) of infiltrating T cells in the livers of patients with chronic hepatitis B were examined in detail. <i>Methods:</i> TCR usage was examined by the inverse polymerase chain reaction in 2 hepatitis B e antigen-positive ...

Direct Recognition of Foreign MHC Determinants by Naive T Cells Mobilizes Specific Vβ Families Without Skewing of the Complementarity-Determining Region 3 Length Distribution [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Immunology, 2001
Abstract The capacity of T cells to interact with nonself-APC, also referred to as direct allorecognition, is an essential feature of the cellular response involved in graft rejection. However, there is no study on TCR repertoire biases associated with direct restricted T cell activation. In this paper, we have addressed the impact of

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...
