Highly Sensitized Patients Are Well Served by Receiving a Compatible Organ Offer Based on Acceptable Mismatches

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Highly sensitized kidney patients accrue on the transplant waiting list due to their broad immunization against non-self Human Leucocyte Antigens (HLA).

Bone Marrow Transplantation 1957-2019

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
Clinical bone marrow transplantation started in 1957 at a time when remarkably little was known about hematopoietic stems cells, immune responses to transplants or the identity of transplant antigens.

Hilliard Seigler, M.D. and the origins of kidney transplantation and immunology at Duke

open access: yesFrontiers in Transplantation, 2023
The contributions of Dr. Hilliard Seigler to the founding of the Duke kidney transplantation program were considerable in both surgery and immunology. Some of these highlights are summarized based upon interviews with Dr. Seigler by the authors.

Assessment of Immunological Potential of Glial Restricted Progenitor Graft In Vivo—Is Immunosuppression Mandatory?

open access: yesCells, 2021
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease, causing motor neuron and skeletal muscle loss and death. One of the promising therapeutic approaches is stem cell graft application into the brain; however, an immune reaction

Biocompatibility of Biomaterials for Nanoencapsulation: Current Approaches

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2020
Nanoencapsulation is an approach to circumvent shortcomings such as reduced bioavailability, undesirable side effects, frequent dosing and unpleasant organoleptic properties of conventional drug delivery systems. The process of nanoencapsulation involves

In Silico Derivation of HLA-Specific Alloreactivity Potential from Whole Exome Sequencing of Stem Cell Transplant Donors and Recipients: Understanding the Quantitative Immuno-biology of Allogeneic Transplantation [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology 2014. 5:529, 2014
Donor T cell mediated graft vs. host effects may result from the aggregate alloreactivity to minor histocompatibility antigens (mHA) presented by the HLA in each donor-recipient pair (DRP) undergoing stem cell transplantation (SCT). Whole exome sequencing has demonstrated extensive nucleotide sequence variation in HLA-matched DRP. Non-synonymous single

Phylogenomics and systematics of botryllid ascidians, and implications for the evolution of allorecognition

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Allorecognition, the ability of an organism to distinguish kin from non-kin, or self from non-self, has been studied extensively in a group of invertebrate chordates, the colonial ascidians called botryllids (Subphylum Tunicata, Class Ascidiacea, Family ...

Thymic selection of T-cell receptors as an extreme value problem [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. Lett. 103 (2009) 068103, 2009
T lymphocytes (T cells) orchestrate adaptive immune responses upon activation. T cell activation requires sufficiently strong binding of T cell receptors (TCRs) on their surface to short peptides (p) derived from foreign proteins, which are bound to major histocompatibility (MHC) gene products (displayed on antigen presenting cells). A diverse and self-

The influence of T cell development on pathogen specificity and autoreactivity [PDF]

open access: yesJ. Stat. Phys. 149 (2012) 203-219, 2011
T cells orchestrate adaptive immune responses upon activation. T cell activation requires sufficiently strong binding of T cell receptors on their surface to short peptides derived from foreign proteins bound to protein products of the major histocompatibility (MHC) gene products, which are displayed on the surface of antigen presenting cells.

Predicting the Binding of SARS-CoV-2 Peptides to the Major Histocompatibility Complex with Recurrent Neural Networks [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Predicting the binding of viral peptides to the major histocompatibility complex with machine learning can potentially extend the computational immunology toolkit for vaccine development, and serve as a key component in the fight against a pandemic. In this work, we adapt and extend USMPep, a recently proposed, conceptually simple prediction algorithm ...
