The dual nature of TDC – bridging dendritic and T cells in immunity
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.TDC are hematopoietic cells combining dendritic and T cell features. They reach secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and peripheral organs (liver and lungs) after FLT3‐dependent development in the bone marrow and maturation in the thymus. TDC are activated and enriched in SLOs upon viral infection, suggesting that they might play unique immune roles, since

PLoS ONE, 2021 BackgroundPostoperative abdominal infections belong to the most common triggers of sepsis and septic shock in intensive care units worldwide. While monocytes play a central role in mediating the initial host response to infections, sepsis-induced immune ...

Interpreting BERT architecture predictions for peptide presentation by MHC class I proteins [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class-I pathway supports the detection of cancer and viruses by the immune system. It presents parts of proteins (peptides) from inside a cell on its membrane surface enabling visiting immune cells that detect non-self peptides to terminate the cell.

Functional Characterization of a Chicken Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II B Gene Promoter [PDF]
, 1997 A 0.7 kilobase (kb) DNA fragment from the 5\u27 flanking region of a chicken major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II B gene was cloned into chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter vectors and was transfected into a chicken macrophage ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In vivo IL‐10 produced by tissue‐resident tolDC is involved in maintaining/inducing tolerance. Depending on the agent used for ex vivo tolDC generation, cells acquire common features but prime T cells towards anergy, FOXP3+ Tregs, or Tr1 cells according to the levels of IL‐10 produced. Ex vivo‐induced tolDC were administered to patients to re‐establish/

Linkage of LMP, TAP, and RING3 with Mhc class I rather than class II genes in the zebrafish.
Journal of Immunology, 1997 The LMP2 and LMP7 genes code for subunits of the proteasome, a multimeric enzymatic complex that degrades proteins into peptides. The two subunits replace corresponding constitutively expressed subunits during the immune response.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one‐third of the global population and poses a significant risk of progression to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Here, we discuss the roles of hepatic dendritic cell subtypes in MASLD, highlighting their distinct contributions to disease initiation and progression, and their ...

Consensus Algorithm For Calculation Of Protein Binding Affinity Using Multiple Models [PDF]
International Journal of Advances in Biology February 2023, 2023 The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, which bind peptides for presentation on the cell surface, play an important role in cell-mediated immunity. In light of developing databases and technologies over the years, significant progress has been made in research on peptide binding affinity calculation.

Tolerance to MHC class II disparate allografts through genetic modification of bone marrow [PDF]
, 2014 Induction of molecular chimerism through genetic modification of bone marrow is a powerful tool for the induction of tolerance. Here we demonstrate for the first time that expression of an allogeneic MHC class II gene in autologous bone marrow cells ...
