Transmembrane Helices Are an Overlooked Source of Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I Epitopes

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
About a fourth of the human proteome is anchored by transmembrane helices (TMHs) to lipid membranes. TMHs require multiple hydrophobic residues for spanning membranes, and this shows a striking resemblance with the requirements for peptide binding to ...

Polysaccharide Adjuvants as Innate Immune Trainers: Bridging Pattern Recognition Receptor (PRR) Activation and Metabolic Reprogramming for Synthetic Vaccine Design

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Polysaccharides modulate immune responses by engaging pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to induce T‐cell activation. In vaccine design, their particle size critically influences lymph node targeting and activation mechanisms. By engineering structural complexity and multivalent PRR engagement, polysaccharides enable precise modulation of immune ...

Non-canonical Functions of Macroautophagy Proteins During Endocytosis by Myeloid Antigen Presenting Cells

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Endocytosis by myeloid antigen presenting cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages regulates both antigen processing and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule trafficking during antigen presentation.

Challenges to the development of antigen-specific breast cancer vaccines [PDF]

, 2001
Continued progress in the development of antigen-specific breast cancer vaccines depends on the identification of appropriate target antigens, the establishment of effective immunization strategies, and the ability to circumvent immune escape mechanisms.

HTGTS‐TCR‐Seq for Profiling of Mouse and Human T‐Cell Receptor α and β Gene Rearrangements and Diversity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
HTGTS‐TCR‐seq is an efficient and cost‐effective method for profiling TCRα and TCRβ rearrangements using only a few primers. It captures both productive and nonproductive recombination events, minimizes primer bias, and reveals stage‐specific and age‐related repertoire changes in mice, as well as conserved features in human peripheral T cells ...

MHC-linked and un-linked class I genes in the wallaby [PDF]

, 2009
Background: MHC class I antigens are encoded by a rapidly evolving gene family comprising classical and non-classical genes that are found in all vertebrates and involved in diverse immune functions.

Engineered Mesenchymal Stem Cell–NK Cell Complexes for Spatially Targeted and Functionally Revitalized Cancer Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
IL‐15‐engineered stem cell–NK cell complexes, assembled via bioorthogonal chemistry, enable effective lung cancer immunotherapy. Abstract Natural killer (NK) cells represent a powerful immunotherapeutic strategy due to their intrinsic cytotoxicity and ability to target tumor cells independently of antigen presentation.

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 (

In silico and in vivo analysis of Toxoplasma gondii epitopes by correlating survival data with peptide–MHC-I binding affinities

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2016
Background: Protein antigens comprising peptide motifs with high binding affinity to major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules are expected to induce a stronger cytotoxic T-lymphocyte response and thus provide better protection against ...

ACSL5 Regulates Glucose Metabolism and Chemotherapy Sensitivity in Colorectal Cancer Cells under Glutamine Deficiency

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Glutamine deprivation triggers ACSL5 upregulation in tumor cells, sustaining their viability via dual metabolic rewiring programs. ACSL5 enhances glycolysis by relieving p53's inhibition of PGAM1 while also sustaining mitochondrial respiration and TCA cycle flux through promoting IDH2 dimerization.
