New insights into the genetic diversity, phylogeny, and immunogenic potential of the wsp gene in Wolbachia endosymbionts in Brugia malayi and Brugia pahangi

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases
Wolbachia spp. are intracellular, maternally inherited bacteria that infect a wide range of arthropods. These bacteria influence reproductive traits in their hosts and are used in mosquito-borne virus control programmes.

A novel HLA-D/DR-like antigen specific for human B lymphoid cells. Biochemical evidence for similarity to but nonidentity with known HLA-D/DR antigens. [PDF]

The Journal of experimental medicine, 1983
The polymorphic human B cell-specific antigen, 33.1, detected by a murine monoclonal antibody, was compared by genetics and structural analysis with known human Ia antigens from a panel of DR homozygous Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B lymphoblastoid cell lines. Cells homozygous for DR 1, 2, 4, 5, and w6 were positive, while cells that are DR3,3 or DR7,

Contributions of vitamin D response elements and HLA promoters to multiple sclerosis risk [PDF]

, 2012
Objective: The identification of a vitamin D-responsive (VDRE) motif within the HLA-DRB1*15:01 promoter region provides an attractive explanation for the combined effects of HLA-DR inheritance and vitamin D exposure on multiple sclerosis (MS) risk.

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proximity‐dependent labeling at the LAMTOR complex revealed the Rho GEF PLEKHG3 as a lysosome‐proximal protein directing the study toward the influence of lysosome positioning on actin dynamics and cell motility. We show that PLEKHG3 colocalizes with lysosomes at focal adhesion sites and observe that forced peripheral dispersion of lysosomes hinders ...

Exposure to Abnormal Self Antigens During Non-Malignant Inflammatory Events Provides Immunological Defense Against Tumors [PDF]

, 2013
Cancer immunosurveillance is the body’s sentinel mechanism of recognizing and eliminating malignancy. Specifically, the immune system can mount a response against cancer through the recognition of tumor associated antigens (TAA). While studying two TAAs,

Epigenetic reprogramming of lineage switching in cancer

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer cells rarely commit to a single identity. Epigenetic mechanisms and tumor microenvironment cues push epithelial cells toward flexible, hybrid states that can shift into mesenchymal, neuroendocrine, or stem‐like fates, driving metastasis, drug resistance, and tumor heterogeneity. Targeting the epigenetic regulators behind these transitions, using

HLA-D and -DR antigens in genetic analysis of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus [PDF]

Diabetologia, 1981
Three groups of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, ascertained by different procedures, were investigated for HLA-A, B, C and D antigens (n = 164), and a subset (n = 93) for HLA-DR. Both HLA-D/DR3 and D/DR4 were strongly positively associated and D/DR2 was negatively associated with insulin-dependent diabetes.

Novel, cross-restricted, conserved, and immunodominant Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte epitopes in slow progressors in HIV Type 1 infection [PDF]

, 1996
HIV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) play an important role in the immune response to HIV infection. Long-term nonprogressors (LTNPs) or slow progressors (SPs) in HIV infection may make qualitatively different CTL responses compared to those ...

From Adult to Adolescent: Alignment in Clinical Trials and Outcomes in Axial Spondyloarthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a group of chronic inflammatory diseases encompassing axial and peripheral forms, with up to 20% of patients developing symptoms before age 16. Despite this substantial pediatric burden, treatment options for juvenile‐onset SpA (JSpA), particularly those with axial disease (axJSpA), remain limited.

Rejection of large HPV-16 expressing tumors in aged mice by a single immunization of VacciMax^® encapsulated CTL/T helper peptides

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2007
The incidence of cancer increases significantly in later life, yet few pre-clinical studies of cancer immunotherapy use mice of advanced age. A novel vaccine delivery platform (VacciMax®,VM) is described that encapsulates antigens and adjuvants in ...
