DR-bearing T lymphocytes in thoracic duct lymph [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
T cells having DR antigens were shown to be present in high numbers in the thoracic duct lymph of patients undergoing long-term drainage. As drainage progresses the proportion of T DR cells in the lymph increases to levels as high as 70% at 6 weeks ...

CD27 and ICOS as Targets of PD‐1/PD‐L1 Signaling to Regulate Resident Memory CD8+ T‐Cell‐Mediated Pulmonary Protection and Pathology

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Here it is revealed that the costimulatory receptors CD27 and ICOS are essential for the long‐term maintenance of PD‐1high CD8+ TRM cells following influenza infection. PD‐L1 blockade enhances the proliferation and activation of these cells through Nur77 activation downstream of the CD27/ICOS signaling axis, thereby boosting host immunity against ...

Modulating Purothionin Accumulation and Signal Peptide Cleavage Fine‐Tunes Wheat Flour Gluten Properties to Improve Cookie‐Making Quality

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Dual genetic strategies for improving wheat processing quality by regulating purothionin accumulation to modulate gluten quantity and quality. The first strategy involves targeting signal peptide (SP) cleavage sites (e.g., through mutation) to indirectly reduce gluten content, thereby disrupting gluten network formation.

Heterologous Prime-Boost HIV-1 Vaccination Regimens in Pre-Clinical and Clinical Trials

open access: yesViruses, 2010
Currently, there are more than 30 million people infected with HIV-1 and thousands more are infected each day. Vaccination is the single most effective mechanism for prevention of viral disease, and after more than 25 years of research, one vaccine has ...

⁠Engineering Adaptive Immunity in 3D: A Patient‐Specific Lymphoid Model Using Stromal Networks and Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a 3D lymphoid tissue model engineered from adipose‐derived stem cells differentiated into fibroblastic reticular cell–like networks and co‐cultured with immune cells. The engineered system successfully generates antigen‐specific antibodies and cytokine responses, providing a platform for studying adaptive immunity, vaccine efficacy,

Expansive evolution of the TREHALOSE-6-PHOSPHATE PHOSPHATASE gene family in Arabidopsis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Trehalose is a nonreducing sugar used as a reserve carbohydrate and stress protectant in a variety of organisms. While higher plants typically do not accumulate high levels of trehalose, they encode large families of putative trehalose biosynthesis genes.

Identification and Characterization of an In Silico Designed Membrane‐Active Peptide with Antiviral Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An evolutionary molecular dynamics platform is used to design P1.6, a membrane‐active peptide that senses lipid packing defects in viral envelopes. P1.6 adopts a stabilized α‐helical structure upon membrane contact, disrupts virus‐like liposomes, and damages HIV‐1 particles.

Investigation of the biosynthesis of exopolysaccharides within the biofilm matrix of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiea : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Microbiology and Genetics at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Polysaccharides are highly abundant natural biopolymers, which have biologically significant structural functions in living organisms. Various polysaccharides, with specific physicochemical properties, contribute to biofilm formation; defined as cell ...

Protection of pigs against challenge with virulent Streptococcus suis serotype 2 strains by a muramidase-released protein and extracellular factor vaccine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The efficacy of a muramidase-released protein (MRP) and extracellular factor (EF) vaccine in preventing infection and disease in pigs challenged either with a homologous or a heterologous Streptococcus suis serotype 2 strain (MRP EF ) was compared with ...
