The Robust Kernel Association Test [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Testing the association between SNP effects and a response is a common task. Such tests are often carried out through kernel machine methods based on least squares, such as the Sequence Kernel Association Test (SKAT). However, these least squares procedures assume a normally distributed response, which is often violated. Other robust procedures such as

Advancing Allogeneic NK Cell Immunotherapy through Microfluidic Gene Delivery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The Y‐Hydroporator is a microfluidic gene delivery platform designed for allogeneic NK cell‐based immunotherapies. It achieves highly efficient gene delivery while preserving high cell viability and functionality. By producing engineered NK cells with enhanced cytotoxicity, the platform addresses critical limitations of autologous cell therapy ...

Prognostic significance of tumor microenvironment assessed by machine learning algorithm in surgically resected non‐small cell lung cancer

Cancer Reports, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Background A methodology to assess the immune microenvironment (IME) of non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been established, and the prognostic impact of IME factors is not yet clear. Aims This study aimed to assess the IME factors and evaluate their prognostic values. Methods and Results We assessed CD8+ tumor‐infiltrating lymphocyte (

Association of TLR4-T399I Polymorphism with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Smokers

Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2009
Tobacco smoking has been considered the most important risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) development. However, not all smokers develop COPD and other environmental and genetic susceptibility factors underlie disease ...

Major histocompatibility complex class I-restricted T cells are required for resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1992
Mice with a targeted disruption in the beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2m) gene, which lack major histocompatibility complex class I molecules and consequently fail to develop functional CD8 T cells, provided a useful model for assessing the role of class I ...

Verteporfin‐Mediated In Situ Nanovaccine Based on Local Conventional‐Dose Hypofractionated Radiotherapy Enhances Antitumor and Immunomodulatory Effect

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Here gelatinase‐responsive methoxypolyethyleneglycol–PVGLIG–polycaprolactone (mPEG–PVGLIG–PCL) nanoparticles’ loading verteporfin (N@VP) is developed, enhancing radiotherapy via X‐ray‐triggered singlet oxygen generation. Combined with 2 Gy (gray, a radiation dose unit) irradiation, N@VP achieves antitumor efficacy comparable to 8 Gy, and also promotes ...

Persistent Activation of Innate Immunity in Patients with Primary Antibody Deficiencies

Journal of Immunology Research, 2020
Primary antibody deficiencies (PAD) represent a heterogeneous group of disorders, with common variable immunodeficiency being the most common with clinical significance. The main phenotypic defect resides in the inability of B cells to produce antibodies,

Single‐Cell Atlas Reveals Tumorigenic Profiles and Immune Dynamics of Adrenal Incidentalomas

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐cell RNA sequencing reveals cellular heterogeneity in adrenal incidentalomas, identifying distinct tumor cell populations. Clusterin is recognized as a biomarker for adrenocortical tumors, correlating with established markers. MYCN‐positive clusters in pheochromocytomas indicated poorer survival.
