Virus-Like Particle-Mediated Vaccination against Interleukin-13 May Harbour General Anti-Allergic Potential beyond Atopic Dermatitis [PDF]
Virus-like particle (VLP)-based anti-infective prophylactic vaccination has been established in clinical use. Although validated in proof-of-concept clinical trials in humans, no VLP-based therapeutic vaccination against self-proteins to modulate chronic

Follicular Helper T Cells in Autoimmunity
The development of multiple disease-relevant autoantibodies is a hallmark of autoimmune diseases. In autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D), a variable time frame of autoimmunity precedes the clinically overt disease. The relevance of T follicular helper (TFH) cells for the immune system is increasingly recognized.

T follicular helper cells are the main CD4+ T cells specialized in supporting B-cell responses, but their role in driving transfusion-associated alloimmunization is not fully characterized.

Stat3 Is Important for Follicular Regulatory T Cell Differentiation [PDF]
The production of antibody is precisely controlled during the germinal center (GC) reaction. This process is dependent on the help from follicular T helper (Tfh) cells to germinal center (GC) B cells and is regulated by regulatory follicular T helper ...

Paracrine IL-2 Is Required for Optimal Type 2 Effector Cytokine Production [PDF]
IL-2 is a pleiotropic cytokine that promotes the differentiation of Th cell subsets, including Th1, Th2, and Th9 cells, but it impairs the development of Th17 and T follicular helper cells.

The adaptor molecule CD2AP in CD4 T cells modulates differentiation of follicular helper T cells during chronic LCMV infection. [PDF]
CD4 T cell-mediated help to CD8 T cells and B cells is a critical arm of the adaptive immune system required for control of pathogen infection. CD4 T cells express cytokines and co-stimulatory molecules that support a sustained CD8 T cell response and ...

The roles of resident, central and effector memory CD4 T cells in protective immunity following infection or vaccination [PDF]
Immunological memory provides rapid protection to pathogens previously encountered through infection or vaccination. CD4 T cells play a central role in all adaptive immune responses.

Blood Relatives of Follicular Helper T Cells [PDF]
Expression of the chemokine receptor CXCR5 identifies B follicular helper T cells. In this issue of Immunity, Morita et al. (2011) describe a heterogeneous circulating CXCR5(+)CD4(+) B cell helper population overrepresented in juvenile dermatomyositis patients.
