PECAM-1 engagement counteracts ICAM-1-induced signaling in brain vascular endothelial cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Interactions between leukocytes and vascular endothelial cells are mediated by a complex set of membrane adhesion molecules which transduce bi-directional signals in both cell types.

Evolution and Diversity of the Human Leukocyte Antigen(HLA) [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, Medicine, and Public Health, 2015
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) Class I and Class II antigens can be genetically extremely diverse, play a central role in immunity and are of primary importance in several branches of medicine. By presenting fragments of pathogens or altered ‘self’ proteins, HLA molecules activate T lymphocytes and are essential in adaptive immune responses against ...

The ACCEPTance of automation: refining circulating tumor cells enumeration for improved metastatic colorectal cancer prognosis

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study highlights the potential of automated enumeration using the ACCEPT software to refine circulating tumor cell (CTC) detection in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The automated method demonstrates improved accuracy and reduced variability compared to the manual approach.

Human leukocyte Antigen-DM polymorphisms in autoimmune diseases [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2016
Classical MHC class II (MHCII) proteins present peptides for CD4+ T-cell surveillance and are by far the most prominent risk factor for a number of autoimmune disorders. To date, many studies have shown that this link between particular MHCII alleles and

A viral CTL escape mutation leading to immunoglobulin-like transcript 4-mediated functional inhibition of myelomonocytic cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Viral mutational escape can reduce or abrogate recognition by the T cell receptor (TCR) of virus-specific CD8+ T cells. However, very little is known about the impact of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) epitope mutations on interactions between peptide–major

Human Leukocyte Antigens and Malignant Essential Hypertension [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hypertension, 1998
The purpose of this study was to investigate an association between human leukocyte antigens (HLA) and the susceptibility to malignant hypertension. The presence of HLA-A, -B, -DR, and -DQ was determined in 33 white and in 23 mulatto Brazilian patients with malignant essential hypertension. No statistically significant differences were detected between

Downregulation of sST2, a decoy receptor for interleukin‐33, enhances subcutaneous tumor growth in murine pancreatic cancer cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Subcutaneous implantation of murine Panc02 pancreatic cancer cells depleted of sST2, a soluble decoy receptor for the proinflammatory interleukin‐33 (IL‐33), leads to a decreased number of GLUT4‐positive cancer‐associated adipocytes, reduced levels of the anti‐inflammatory molecule adiponectin, increased phosphorylation of IκBα, elevated Cxcl3 ...

Predicting Antigen Presentation—What Could We Learn From a Million Peptides?

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Antigen presentation lies at the heart of immune recognition of infected or malignant cells. For this reason, important efforts have been made to predict which peptides are more likely to bind and be presented by the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex

Melanoma and Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA): Immunogenicity of 69 HLA Class I Alleles With 11 Antigens Expressed in Melanoma Tumors

open access: yesCancer Informatics, 2023
Host immunogenetics play a critical role in the human immune response to melanoma, influencing both melanoma prevalence and immunotherapy outcomes. Beneficial outcomes that stimulate T cell response hinge on binding affinity and immunogenicity of human ...

M-DC8+leukocytes - A novel human dendritic cell population [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Dendritic cells (DC) constitute a heterogeneous leukocyte population having in common a unique capacity to induce primary T cell responses and are therefore most attractive candidates for immunomodulatory strategies.
