Identification of a Novel CD160+CD4+ T-Lymphocyte Subset in the Skin: A Possible Role for CD160 in Skin Inflammation [PDF]
CD160 is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored cell surface molecule expressed by human circulating cytotoxic lymphocytes that correspond to the majority of natural killer cell (NK) expressing CD56dim, TCRγδ lymphocytes, and to a minor CD8 T-cell ...

Mathematical modeling of escape of HIV from cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses [PDF]
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1 or simply HIV) induces a persistent infection, which in the absence of treatment leads to AIDS and death in almost all infected individuals. HIV infection elicits a vigorous immune response starting about 2-3 weeks post infection that can lower the amount of virus in the body, but which cannot eradicate the virus ...

Multiscale model for the effects of adaptive immunity suppression on the viral therapy of cancer [PDF]
Oncolytic virotherapy - the use of viruses that specifically kill tumor cells - is an innovative and highly promising route for treating cancer. However, its therapeutic outcomes are mainly impaired by the host immune response to the viral infection.

Genes predisposing to type 1 diabetes mellitus and pathophysiology: a narrative review [PDF]
The possibility of targeting the causal genes along with the mechanisms of pathogenically complex diseases has led to numerous studies on the genetic etiology of some diseases. In particular, studies have added more genes to the list of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) suspect genes, necessitating an update for the interest of all stakeholders ...

Search and capture efficiency of dynamic microtubules for centrosome relocation during IS formation [PDF]
Upon contact with antigen presenting cells (APCs) cytotoxic T lymphocytes (T cells) establish a highly organized contact zone denoted as immunological synapse (IS). The formation of the IS implies relocation of the microtubule organizing center (MTOC) towards the contact zone, which necessitates a proper connection between MTOC and IS via dynamic ...

Spatiotemporal dynamics of a glioma immune interaction model
We report a mathematical model which depicts the spatiotemporal dynamics of glioma cells, macrophages, cytotoxic-T-lymphocytes, immuno-suppressive cytokine TGF-β and immuno-stimulatory cytokine IFN-γ through a system of five coupled reaction-diffusion ...

Mathematical modeling to elucidate brain tumor abrogation by immunotherapy with T11 target structure [PDF]
T11 Target structure (T11TS), a membrane glycoprotein isolated from sheep erythrocytes, reverses the immune suppressed state of brain tumor induced animals by boosting the functional status of the immune cells. This study aims at aiding in the design of more efficacious brain tumor therapies with T11 target structure.
