Major Histocompatibility Complex-Associated Resistance to Infectious Diseases: The Case of Bovine Leukemia Virus Infection [PDF]
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a polymorphic gene cluster of about 150 genes, present in all vertebrates. Many of these genes contribute to immunity.

Rejection of mouse sarcoma cells after transfection of MHC class II genes.
Th cells are stimulated by peptide Ag presented in the context of MHC class II molecules. We have reasoned that immune responses against tumors may be more efficient if tumor cells were class II Ag positive, and thereby able to directly function as APC ...

Electric Pulse Regulated MXene Based Nanozymes for Integrative Bioelectricity Immuno‐Cancer Therapy
MXenzyme‐mediated bioelectricity cancer therapy (MXenzyme‐BECT) enhances cancer cell death through irreversible depolarization, ion channel disruption, ROS generation, and immunogenic cell death. Computational simulations reveal the electrical mechanisms by which MXenzyme acts on single cells and support to predict treatment parameters. Next‐generation

A Nonconventional Analysis of CD$4^{+}$ and CD$8^{+}$ T Cell Responses During and After Acute Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus Infection [PDF]
A mathematical model from a previous work was re-fitted and analyzed for experimental data regarding the cellular immune response to the lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. Specifically, the $CD8^{+}$ T cell response to six MHC class I-restricted epitopes (GP* and NP*) and $CD4^{+}$ T cell responses to two MHC class II-restricted epitopes\cite ...

Highly efficient peptide binding and T cell activation by MHC class II molecules of CIITA-transfected cells [PDF]
Expression of MHC class II, DM and li genes is controlled by the transactivator CIITA, a mediator of the activation of these genes by IFN-γ. Surprisingly, MHC class II molecules expressed on CIITA transfectants behave very differently from those ...

This review highlights recent advances in engineering artificial antigen‐presenting cells (aAPCs) as alternatives to dendritic cells for T cell expansion. Key design principles inspired by the immunological synapse are discussed, with emphasis on strategies for polyclonal and antigen‐specific T cell expansion.

Age, Sex, and Genetic Architecture of Human Gene Expression in EBV Transformed Cell Lines [PDF]
Individual expression profiles from EBV transformed cell lines are an emerging resource for genomic investigation. In this study we characterize the effects of age, sex, and genetic variation on gene expression by surveying public datasets of such profiles.

Block-based Bayesian epistasis association mapping with application to WTCCC type 1 diabetes data [PDF]
Interactions among multiple genes across the genome may contribute to the risks of many complex human diseases. Whole-genome single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) data collected for many thousands of SNP markers from thousands of individuals under the ...

The temporary transition of macrophages from a pro‐inflammatory phenotype of macrophages (M1) to an anti‐inflammatory phenotype of macrophages (M2) is crucial for tissue repair and regeneration processes. Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are utilized as a “trojan horse” for specific M1 macrophage‐targeting and anti‐inflammatory drug delivery ...
