WASp Is Crucial for the Unique Architecture of the Immunological Synapse in Germinal Center B-Cells

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
B-cells undergo somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation in germinal centers. Somatic hypermutated germinal center B-cells (GCBs) compete to engage with and capture antigens on follicular dendritic cells.

Mechanical Communication at the Immunological Synapse [PDF]

Trends in Cell Biology, 2017
T and B lymphocytes communicate by forming immunological synapses with antigen-presenting target cells. These highly dynamic contacts are characterized by continuous cytoskeletal remodeling events, which not only structure the interface but also exert a considerable amount of mechanical force.

Reprogramming the Tumor Immune Microenvironment with ICAM‐1‐Targeted Antibody‒Drug Conjugates and B7‐H3‐CD3 Bispecific Antibodies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Reprogramming the tumor immune microenvironment is crucial for transforming immune “cold” tumors into “hot” inflammatory tumors. The investigation reveals that the combination of ICAM‐1‐Dxd with B7‐H3‐CD3 bispecific antibodies not only demonstrates significant inhibitory effects on tumor growth and metastasis but also plays a vital role in ...

Diversity in immunological synapse structure [PDF]

Immunology, 2010
SummaryImmunological synapses (ISs) are formed at the T cell–antigen‐presenting cell (APC) interface during antigen recognition, and play a central role in T‐cell activation and in the delivery of effector functions. ISs were originally described as a peripheral ring of adhesion molecules surrounding a central accumulation of T‐cell receptor (TCR ...

Host Plasma Microenvironment in Immunometabolically Impaired HIV Infection Leads to Dysregulated Monocyte Function and Synaptic Transmission Ex Vivo

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Network‐based risk stratification of people living with HIV (PWH) on prolonged therapy using multi‐omics data identifies 44% of the patients are at risk of immunometabolic complications. A senescence‐associated myeloid cell‐driven plasma microenvironment drives immunometabolic dysregulation in at‐risk PWH.

Sensing Danger: Innate Immunology for Intrusion Detection [PDF]

Information Security Technical Report, 12(4), pp 218-227, 2007, 2008
The immune system provides an ideal metaphor for anomaly detection in general and computer security in particular. Based on this idea, artificial immune systems have been used for a number of years for intrusion detection, unfortunately so far with little success. However, these previous systems were largely based on immunological theory from the 1970s

Designed Biomaterial‐Enhanced Cell Transplantation for Neural Tissue Engineering

Aggregate, EarlyView.
Biomaterials offer a promising solution for cell transplantation in the central nervous system by creating a protective environment that enhances cell survival, integration, and functional recovery in preclinical models of neurological disorders. ABSTRACT Cell transplantation therapy in the central nervous system is hindered by limited survival and ...

MHC Class I Stability is Modulated by Cell Surface Sialylation in Human Dendritic Cells

Pharmaceutics, 2020
Maturation of human Dendritic Cells (DCs) is characterized by increased expression of antigen presentation molecules, and overall decreased levels of sialic acid at cell surface. Here, we aimed to identify sialylated proteins at DC surface and comprehend
