Cerebrospinal Fluid Over Plasma Links Analytes to Cognitive Decline in Older Adults at Risk for Alzheimer's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To identify inflammatory analytes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma associated with cognitive decline in cognitively normal (CN) older adults at risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods In a longitudinal study of 118 CN older adults (65–80 years, 54% APOE ε4, 26% preclinical AD), 1331 CSF and 1501 plasma analytes were ...

The human natural killer cell immune synapse [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999
Inhibitory killer Ig-like receptors (KIR) at the surface of natural killer (NK) cells induced clustering of HLA-C at the contacting surface of target cells. In this manner, inhibitory immune synapses were formed as human NK cells surveyed target cells. At target/NK cell synapses, HLA-C/KIR distributed into rings around central patches of intercellular ...

The role of complement in synaptic degeneration

, 2012
Synapse loss is an early event of many neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer?s disease and Parkinson?s disease. The causes and mechanisms that underpin synapse dysfunction and degeneration are poorly understood.

Targeting CD28, CTLA-4 and PD-L1 costimulation differentially controls immune synapses and function of human regulatory and conventional T-cells.

PLoS ONE, 2013
CD28, CTLA-4 and PD-L1, the three identified ligands for CD80/86, are pivotal positive and negative costimulatory molecules that, among other functions, control T cell motility and formation of immune synapse between T cells and antigen-presenting cells (

Copine‐4 Paraneoplastic Autoimmune Encephalitis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We characterize copine‐4 (CPNE4)‐IgG and report clinical associations. Among 844 samples with unclassified neural IgGs identified by mouse‐brain indirect immunofluorescence assay over 2 years, 5 samples (serum, 3; CSF, 2) from 3 patients produced a distinctive cerebrum‐restricted synaptic pattern.

Impaired T-cell function in B-cell lymphoma: A direct consequence of events at the immunological synapse?

Frontiers in Immunology, 2015
Tumours can escape immune destruction through the development of antigen loss variants and loss of antigen processing/presentation pathways thereby rendering them invisible to T cells.

Investigation of Complement Activation and Cytokine Signatures in AQP4+ NMOSD, MOGAD, and MS

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Aquaporin‐4‐IgG seropositive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (AQP4+ NMOSD), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody‐associated disease (MOGAD), and multiple sclerosis (MS) are pathophysiologically distinct neuroinflammatory disorders. Complement activation is a major mechanism of injury in AQP4+ NMOSD, whereas its role in

Visualizing the Immune Synapse

Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation, 2007
T cells that interact with antigen-specific APCs an mount a wide spectrum of responses that range rom induction of cytokine production and proliferaion to induction of anergy, as defined by lack of roliferation and IL-2 secretion [1-3], and even to riggering programmed cell death [4-8].

Investigative and clinical applications of synthetic immune synapses [PDF]

WIREs Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology, 2012
Abstract The immune synapse (IS) has emerged as a compelling model of cell–cell communication. This interface between a T cell and antigen‐presenting cell (APC) serves as a key point in coordinating the immune response.

Acute Endocrine Alterations After Traumatic Brain Injury and 6‐Month Functional Outcome

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Acute multi‐axis endocrine alterations after traumatic brain injury (TBI) remain incompletely characterized. This study aimed to examine their temporal patterns and explore their associations with 6‐month functional outcome and early inflammatory markers.
