The CD8+ and CD4+ T Cell Immunogen Atlas of Zika Virus Reveals E, NS1 and NS4 Proteins as the Vaccine Targets

Viruses, 2022
Zika virus (ZIKV)-specific T cells are activated by different peptides derived from virus structural and nonstructural proteins, and contributed to the viral clearance or protective immunity.

Class-switched anti-insulin antibodies originate from unconventional antigen presentation in multiple lymphoid sites [PDF]

, 2016
Autoantibodies to insulin are a harbinger of autoimmunity in type 1 diabetes in humans and in non-obese diabetic mice. To understand the genesis of these autoantibodies, we investigated the interactions of insulin-specific T and B lymphocytes using T ...

GII.4 Human Norovirus: Surveying the Antigenic Landscape

Viruses, 2019
Human norovirus is the leading cause of viral acute onset gastroenteritis disease burden, with 685 million infections reported annually. Vulnerable populations, such as children under the age of 5 years, the immunocompromised, and the elderly show a need

In Silico Prediction of Cross-Reactive Epitopes of Tropomyosin from Shrimp and Other Arthropods Involved in Allergy

Molecules, 2022
Tropomyosin in shellfish is considered a major cross-reactive allergen in house dust mites and cockroaches; however, the specific epitopes have not been elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the consensus antigenic determinant among shrimp,

Determinant of HIV-1 mutational escape from cytotoxic T lymphocytes. [PDF]

, 2003
CD8+ class I-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) usually incompletely suppress HIV-1 in vivo, and while analogous partial suppression induces antiretroviral drug-resistance mutations, epitope escape mutations are inconsistently observed.

Clinical Correlates of Anxiety and Depression After Diagnosis of a Pediatric Brain Tumor

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The prevalence and clinical correlates of symptoms of anxiety and depression in pediatric patients with brain tumors are not well described. We aimed to identify clinical characteristics that are correlated with elevated symptoms of anxiety and depression following initial diagnosis.

Immunogenicity of NS4b dengue 3 virus mimotope presented to the immune system as multiple antigen peptide system [PDF]

, 2013
The availability of random peptide libraries displayed on bacteriophage (RPL) has provided a powerful tool for selecting sequences that mimic binding properties of natural antigen epitopes (mimotopes). These mimotopes can be used for vaccine design, drug

Preoperative Cytopenia in Patients Affected by High‐Risk Neuroblastoma: Just a Matter of Platelets?

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims In patients affected by high‐risk neuroblastoma (HR‐NB), complete macroscopic resection (CMR) is associated with better outcomes. These patients are often cytopenic due to intensive induction regimens. The aim of the present study is to assess the impact of preoperative cytopenia on surgical outcome in patients with HR‐NB ...

Identification of the Binding Epitope of an Anti-Mouse CCR6 Monoclonal Antibody (C₆Mab-13) Using 1× Alanine Scanning

Antibodies, 2023
CC chemokine receptor 6 (CCR6) is one of the members of the G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family that is upregulated in many immune-related cells, such as B lymphocytes, effector and memory T cells, regulatory T cells, and immature dendritic cells ...
