Expression of a dominant T-cell receptor can reduce toxicity and enhance tumor protection of allogeneic T-cell therapy

Haematologica, 2016
Due to the lack of specificity for tumor antigens, allogeneic T-cell therapy is associated with graft-versus-host disease. Enhancing the anti-tumor specificity while reducing the graft-versus-host disease risk of allogeneic T cells has remained a ...

Cytomegalovirus-induced peroxynitrite promotes virus entry and contributes to pathogenesis in a murine model of infection

mBio
There are no licensed vaccines for human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), and current antiviral drugs that target viral proteins are toxic and prone to resistance.

In Silico and Structural Analyses Demonstrate That Intrinsic Protein Motions Guide T Cell Receptor Complementarity Determining Region Loop Flexibility

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
T-cell immunity is controlled by T cell receptor (TCR) binding to peptide major histocompatibility complexes (pMHCs). The nature of the interaction between these two proteins has been the subject of many investigations because of its central role in ...

Identification of a MicroRNA‐E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Regulatory Network for Hepatocyte Death in Alcohol‐Associated Hepatitis

Hepatology Communications, 2021
We aimed to identify a microRNA (miRNA)‐E3 ubiquitin ligase regulatory network for protein substrates enriched in cell death pathways and investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms in alcohol‐associated hepatitis (AH).

Contrasting roles for IKK-regulated inflammatory signalling pathways for development and maintenance of type 1 and adaptive γδ T cells

eLife
The inhibitor of kappa-B kinase (IKK) complex is a critical regulator of cell death and inflammatory signalling in multiple cell types. Phosphorylation of IκB proteins by IKK results in their degradation and consequent activation of NF-κB transcription ...

Framework engineering to produce dominant T cell receptors with enhanced antigen-specific function

Nature Communications, 2019
Increasing TCR cell surface expression can potentiate T cell responses to low-concentrations of antigen. Here the authors identify aminoacids in human TCR variable domains that impact its surface expression, and demonstrate how editing these residues can

IL-15 Overcomes Hepatocellular Carcinoma-Induced NK Cell Dysfunction

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
NK cells have potent antitumor capacity. They are enriched in the human liver, with a large subset specialized for tissue-residence. The potential for liver-resident versus liver-infiltrating NK cells to populate, and exert antitumor functions in, human ...
