Mucosal nasal vaccine development, although ideal to protect from pathogens invading mucosally, is limited by the lack of specific adjuvant. We recently used P1, a conserved region of HIV-1 gp41-envelope glycoprotein, as efficient antigen in a ...

S100A8-mediated metabolic adaptation controls HIV-1 persistence in macrophages in vivo
HIV-1 eradication is hindered by viral persistence in different cell reservoirs, including circulatory CD4+ T-cells and tissue-resident macrophages. Here, by analyzing male genital mucosa from cART-suppressed HIV1-infected individuals, Real et al.

Protocol to detect infectious SARS-CoV-2 at low levels using in situ hybridization techniques
Summary: Low and persistent levels of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA/protein/virus can be detected in clinical samples months after infection, possibly related to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants or development of ...

Antibody Fc-chimerism and effector functions: When IgG takes advantage of IgA
Recent advances in the development of therapeutic antibodies (Abs) have greatly improved the treatment of otherwise drug-resistant cancers and autoimmune diseases. Antibody activities are mediated by both their Fab and the Fc.

Leptin and mucosal immunity [PDF]
Enhanced susceptibility to infection has long been recognized in children with congenital deficiency of leptin or its receptor. Studies in mice have demonstrated that leptin deficiency affects both the innate and acquired immune systems. Here, we review recent studies that demonstrate the impact on immunity of a common non-synonomous polymorphism of ...

The new pandemic virus SARS-CoV-2 is characterized by uncontrolled hyper-inflammation in severe cases. As the IL-22/IL-22R1 axis was reported to be involved in inflammation during viral infections, we characterized the expression of IL-22 receptor1, IL ...
