E5 protein of human papillomavirus type 16 selectively downregulates surface HLA class I [PDF]

, 2005
Papillomaviruses have evolved mechanisms that result in escape from host immune surveillance. The E5 protein is expressed early in papillomavirus infection in the deep layers of the infected epithelium.

Autoreactivity vs autoimmunity: characteristics of autoantigen‐specific CD4 T‐cells in rheumatoid arthritis and health.

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background CD4 T cells specific for citrullinated (cit)‐peptides are key players in RA immunopathogenesis. Characterising these cells and identifying features of healthy and RA‐associated autoreactivity will provide valuable insight into disease mechanisms and form the basis of immune state biomarkers to facilitate the next generation of RA treatments.

Homocitrullinated Peptides Drive Pro‐Inflammatory T Cell Responses in a Humanized Mouse Model of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Anti‐homocitrullinated protein/peptide antibodies are specific to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and predictive of worse prognosis, suggesting a pathogenic role for autoreactivity to homocitrullinated peptides (HomoCitP). However, T cell responses to HomoCitP remain largely unexplored.

Preservation of cytotoxic granule production in response to mycobacterial antigens by T-lymphocytes from vertically HIV-infected Brazilian youth on effective combined antiretroviral therapy

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background: HIV infection harms adaptive cellular immunity mechanisms. Long-term virological control by combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) reduces the risk of mycobacterial infections.

The role of IgM anti‐acetylated protein antibodies and B cells in the origin of anti‐modified protein autoimmunity in rheumatoid arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by anti‐modified protein antibodies (AMPAs), including anti‐citrullinated (ACPA), anti‐carbamylated (anti‐CarP), and anti‐acetylated (AAPA) protein antibodies. In contrast to other AMPAs, AAPA IgM is found in healthy individuals, raising questions about its role in early immune responses.

HLA Class II Antigen Expression in Colorectal Carcinoma Tumors as a Favorable Prognostic Marker

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2014
The goal of this study was to determine the frequency of HLA class II antigen expression in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) tumors, its association with the clinical course of the disease, and the underlying mechanism(s).

Immunoinformatics‐Based Design of a Multi‐Epitope Vaccine Targeting a Conserved Copper–Associated Protein in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neisseria gonorrhoeae poses an urgent public health challenge due to rapidly increasing antimicrobial resistance and the absence of an effective vaccine. Targeting conserved bacterial pathways involved in essential physiological processes may provide new opportunities for vaccine antigen discovery.
