Dual non-contiguous peptide occupancy of HLA class I evoke antiviral human CD8 T cell response and form neo-epitopes with self-antigens

Scientific Reports, 2017
Host CD8 T cell response to viral infections involves recognition of 8–10-mer peptides presented by MHC-I molecules. However, proteasomes generate predominantly 2–7-mer peptides, but the role of these peptides is largely unknown.

Turning Cold Tumors Into Hot Tumors: Implications for Cancer Therapy

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Barrier‐defined strategies for cold‐to‐hot tumor conversion. Cold tumors include immune‐desert and immune‐excluded states marked by poor antigen visibility, limited T‐cell priming, stromal or vascular exclusion, metabolic stress and suppressive immune programs.

Functional inactivation of EBV-specific T-lymphocytes in nasopharyngeal carcinoma: implications for tumor immunotherapy.

PLoS ONE, 2007
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated malignancy with high prevalence in Southern Chinese. In order to assess whether defects of EBV-specific immunity may contribute to the tumor, the phenotype and function of ...

Advances and challenges in experimental models for Epstein–Barr virus research

mLife, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 401-416, August 2026.
Abstract Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), the first identified human oncovirus, is a ubiquitous γ‐herpesvirus etiologically linked to diverse malignancies, lymphoproliferative disorders, and autoimmune diseases. Experimental models are pivotal for unraveling the infection and pathogenesis mechanisms, life cycle regulation, as well as development and ...

Immunohistochemical Identification and Assessment of the Location of Immunoproteasome Subunits LMP2 and LMP7 in Acquired Cholesteatoma

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Cholesteatoma, accompanied by chronic inflammatory response, is characterized by invasive growth and osteolytic activity. As specific proteasome isoforms, the immunoproteasomes serve as an important modulator of inflammatory responses. The aim of the present study was to determine the biological activity of cholesteatoma through the analysis of the ...

LMP2-mRNA lipid nanoparticle sensitizes EBV-related tumors to anti-PD-1 therapy by reversing T cell exhaustion

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2023
Background Targeting EBV-proteins with mRNA vaccines is a promising way to treat EBV-related tumors like nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). We assume that it may sensitize tumors to immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Beyond Sequence: Posttranslational Remodeling of Antigens in Autoimmunity

Immunological Reviews, Volume 341, Issue 1, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Autoimmune responses are often attributed to failed tolerance to self‐proteins, yet protein expression alone cannot explain why certain antigens dominate disease, why autoreactivity emerges under stress, or why specific HLA alleles shape risk.

Subversion of immunoproteasome subunit expression in dengue virus serotype 2-infected HepG2 cells

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical
: INTRODUCTION: Infection with all serotypes of dengue virus (DV) results in augmented antigen presentation by MHC class I molecules. However, the upregulation of immunoproteasome subunits only results from infection with two serotypes. This study aims

Variable EBV DNA Load Distributions and Heterogeneous EBV mRNA Expression Patterns in the Circulation of Solid Organ versus Stem Cell Transplant Recipients

Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2012
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) driven post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) is a heterogeneous and potentially life-threatening condition. Early identification of aberrant EBV activity may prevent progression to B-cell lymphoma.

Extranodal natural killer/T‐cell lymphoma: From fatal to curable

CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, Volume 76, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Extranodal natural killer (NK)/T‐cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) is one of the most aggressive non‐Hodgkin lymphomas characterized by NK‐cell or T‐cell origins, a geographic prevalence in Asian and South American populations, and Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection.
