Avidity of influenza-specific memory CD8+ T-cell populations decays over time compromising antiviral immunity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Decline of cell-mediated immunity is often attributed to decaying T-cell numbers and their distribution in peripheral organs. This study examined the hypothesis that qualitative as well as quantitative changes contribute to the declining efficacy of CD8+

Natural killer cell responses during SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination in people living with HIV-1

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Natural killer (NK) cell subsets with adaptive properties are emerging as regulators of vaccine-induced T and B cell responses and are specialized towards antibody-dependent functions contributing to SARS-CoV-2 control.

State Immunity and Judicial Countermeasures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
This article explores whether domestic courts can deny jurisdictional immunity of a state as a countermeasure. The article offers a survey of state practice that, according to some scholars, would support this argument, demonstrating that the ...

The Role of Capsid in the Early Steps of HIV-1 Infection: New Insights into the Core of the Matter

open access: yesViruses, 2021
In recent years, major advances in research and experimental approaches have significantly increased our knowledge on the role of the HIV-1 capsid in the virus life cycle, from reverse transcription to integration and gene expression.

The long subclinical phase of Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis infections explained without adaptive immunity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is an infection of the ruminant intestine. In cows, a long subclinical phase with no or low intermittent shedding precedes the clinical phase with high shedding.

Immune Dysregulation in Immune Thrombocytopenia [PDF]

open access: yesSeminars in Hematology, 2013
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a bleeding disorder characterized by low platelet counts due to decreased platelet production as well as increased platelet destruction by autoimmune mechanisms. A shift toward Th1 and possibly Th17 cells together with impaired regulatory compartment, including T-regulatory (Tregs) and B-regulatory (Bregs) cells, have ...

Exploring the pre-immune landscape of antigen-specific T cells

open access: yesGenome Medicine, 2018
Background Adaptive immune responses to newly encountered pathogens depend on the mobilization of antigen-specific clonotypes from a vastly diverse pool of naive T cells.

Ex vivo engineered human plasma cells exhibit robust protein secretion and long-term engraftment in vivo

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Plasma B cells (PC) are a potential source for protein replacement as they could be engineered to secrete protein other than antibody. Here the authors engineer B cells to express exogenous proteins and demonstrate that these cells can persist long term ...

Experimental cerebral malaria develops independently of caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 9 signaling.

open access: yes, 2011
The outcome of infection depends on multiple layers of immune regulation, with innate immunity playing a decisive role in shaping protection or pathogenic sequelae of acquired immunity.

WAKsing plant immunity, waning diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
With the requirement to breed more productive crop plants to feed a growing global population, compounded by increasingly wide-spread resistance to pesticides exhibited by pathogens, plant immunity is becoming an increasingly important area of research ...
