Extracellular processing of peptide antigens that bind class I major histocompatibility molecules
One problem associated with the use of synthetic peptides as antigens in vivo is their susceptibility to inactivation by proteolytic degradation. A situation is described in which a serum protease, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), is actually ...

Natural‐Inspired Engineered Microalgae With Selenium Enrichment Enabled Potent Anti‐Tumor Immunity
Se‐Ssp was engineered as a potent immunomodulator for activating innate immunity via the TLR and cGAS‐STING pathways, therefore converting “cold” tumors into “hot” tumors to achieve high efficacy and long‐term therapeutic outcomes. ABSTRACT Immunotherapy has shed light on clinical oncology for several decades.

A mechanically activated SynNotch reporter platform enables detection of force transmission through receptors as they mediate immune cell interactions. Targeting CD40 on B cells and TCR on T cells records force‐induced reporter activation across 2D coculture, 3D organoid, and implanted in mice, which also reveal force‐amplification of immune receptor ...

Efficient processing of an antigenic sequence for presentation by MHC class I molecules depends on its neighboring residues in the protein [PDF]
Processing of endogenously synthesized proteins generates short peptides that are presented by MHC class I molecules to CD8 T lymphocytes. Here it is documented that not only the sequence of the presented peptide but also the residues by which it is ...

Genetic analysis of completely sequenced disease-associated MHC haplotypes identifies shuffling of segments in recent human history [PDF]
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is recognised as one of the most important genetic regions in relation to common human disease. Advancement in identification of MHC genes that confer susceptibility to disease requires greater knowledge of ...

Interferon y Stimulation Modulates the Proteolytic Activity and Cleavage Site Preference of 20S Mouse Proteasomes [PDF]
The proteasome is a 700-kD multisubunit enzyme complex with several proteolytically active sites. The enzyme complex is involved in both ubiquitin-dependent and -independent protein degradation and may contribute to the processing of antigens presented ...

CAR‐Engineered Cell Therapies Beyond Cancer: Reprogramming Fibrosis and Immune‐Mediated Inflammation
CAR‐engineered cell therapies are expanding beyond cancer toward immune resetting, pathological‐cell clearance, matrix remodeling, and microenvironmental reprogramming in autoimmune, inflammatory, and fibrotic diseases. This Review compares CAR‐T, CAR‐macrophage, and CAR‐NK platforms and proposes controllable spatiotemporal reprogramming to align ...

Research Progress on Dendritic Cells in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Immune Microenvironments
Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen-presenting cells that play a crucial role in initiating immune responses by cross-presenting relevant antigens to initial T cells. The activation of DCs is a crucial step in inducing anti-tumor immunity. Upon recognition

Single‐Cell Profiling Reveals Clonally Expanded CX3CR1+ T Cells in Anti‐NMDA Receptor Encephalitis
CX3CR1+ T cells are associated with peripheral and central immune alterations in anti‐NMDA receptor encephalitis (NMDAR‐E). They show potential responsiveness to GluN1 (NR1) peptides, potential interactions with peripheral B cells, clonal expansion, increased CD137/CD154 expression, and inflammatory cytokine production. Their preferential cerebrospinal
