Triiodothyronine (T3) Induces Limited Transcriptional and DNA Methylation Reprogramming in Human Monocytes

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
Thyroid hormones have immunomodulatory roles, but their effects on the transcriptome and epigenome of innate immune cell types remain unexplored. In this study, we investigate the effects of triiodothyronine (T3) on the transcriptome and methylome of ...

Characterisation and induction of tissue-resident gamma delta T-cells to target hepatocellular carcinoma

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Many cancer immune therapy approaches depend on an HLA-restricted neoantigen-specific T cell response. AUs show here that Zoledronic acid can expand, and induce tumour recognition by, a population of tissue resident memory gamma-delta T cells associated ...

The evolution of resistance through costly acquired immunity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We examine the evolutionary dynamics of resistance to parasites through acquired immunity. Resistance can be achieved through the innate mechanisms of avoidance of infection and reduced pathogenicity once infected, through recovery from infection and ...

Infection-acquired versus vaccine-acquired immunity in an SIRWS model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Despite high vaccine coverage, pertussis has re-emerged as a public health concern in many countries. One hypothesis posed for re-emergence is the waning of immunity.

'Towards a Conceptual Framework for Innate Immunity' [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Innate immunity now occupies a central role in immunology. However, artificial immune system models have largely been inspired by adaptive not innate immunity.

Lymphocyte-to-C-Reactive Protein Ratio as an Early Sepsis Biomarker for Neonates with Suspected Sepsis

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2023
Background. Neonatal sepsis is an extremely dangerous and fatal disease among neonates, and its timely diagnosis is critical to treatment. This research is aimed at evaluating the clinical significance of the lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR ...

Innate cell profiles during the acute and convalescent phase of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Childhood infection with SARS CoV2 is associated with a milder course of infection but the immunopathogenesis of this remains unclear. Here the authors explore immunological differences in the innate immune system during acute and convalescent SARS CoV2 ...

Immune privilege or privileged immunity? [PDF]

open access: yesMucosal Immunology, 2008
Immune privilege is a concept that has come of age. Where previously it was considered to be a passive phenomenon restricted to certain specialized tissues, it is now viewed as comprising several mechanisms, both active and passive, shared in many aspects with emerging notions of the mechanisms of peripheral tolerance.

Magnitude of venous or capillary blood-derived SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell response determines COVID-19 immunity

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
The presence of SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies alone is not an accurate determinant of immunity. In this work, the authors investigate if whole-blood based measurement of SARS-CoV-2 specific T cell responses could prognosticate the risk of possible SARS ...

mSep: investigating physiological and immune-metabolic biomarkers in septic and healthy pregnant women to predict feto-maternal immune health – a prospective observational cohort study protocol

open access: yesBMJ Open, 2022
Introduction Maternal sepsis remains a leading cause of death in pregnancy. Physiological adaptations to pregnancy obscure early signs of sepsis and can result in delays in recognition and treatment.
