CD20 and CD19 targeted vectors induce minimal activation of resting B lymphocytes [PDF]
B lymphocytes are an important cell population of the immune system. However, until recently it was not possible to transduce resting B lymphocytes with retro- or lentiviral vectors, making them unsusceptible for genetic manipulations by these vectors ...

Reversal of splicing infidelity is a pre-activation step in B cell differentiation
IntroductionB cell activation and differentiation is central to the adaptive immune response. Changes in exon usage can have major impacts on cellular signaling and differentiation but have not been systematically explored in differentiating B cells ...

Transient mTOR inhibition rescues 4-1BB CAR-Tregs from tonic signal-induced dysfunction
Chimeric antigen receptor engineering in T cells has been shown to be of great potential therapeutic benefit in a range of immune pathologies, although the functionality of such cell therapies can be limited due to tonic signalling and the induction of ...

Transmission of integrin β7 transmembrane domain topology enables gut lymphoid tissue development. [PDF]
Integrin activation regulates adhesion, extracellular matrix assembly, and cell migration, thereby playing an indispensable role in development and in many pathological processes.

Cardiosphere-derived cells suppress allogeneic lymphocytes by production of PGE2 acting via the EP4 receptor [PDF]
derived cells (CDCs) are a cardiac progenitor cell population, which have been shown to possess cardiac regenerative properties and can improve heart function in a variety of cardiac diseases. Studies in large animal models have predominantly focussed on

IntroductionHemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening condition, and its diagnosis may be challenging. In particular, some cases show close similarities to sepsis (fever, organ failure, and high ferritin), but their treatment, while ...

Sensitivity of activated human lymphocytes to cyclosporine and its metabolites [PDF]
Alloreactive T cells generated as clones from mixed lymphocyte cultures, or propagated from heart or liver transplant biopsies, were tested for secondary proliferation measured in the primed lymphocyte test in the presence of Cyclosporine A and ...

Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV) is a gamma-herpes virus that infects 90% of humans without any symptoms in most cases, but has an oncogenic potential, especially in immunocompromised individuals.

A mutation in caspase-9 decreases the expression of BAFFR and ICOS in patients with immunodeficiency and lymphoproliferation [PDF]
Lymphocyte apoptosis is mainly induced by either death receptor-dependent activation of caspase-8 or mitochondria-dependent activation of caspase-9. Mutations in caspase-8 lead to autoimmunity/lymphoproliferation and immunodeficiency. This work describes

Loss of RASGRP1 in humans impairs T‐cell expansion leading to Epstein‐Barr virus susceptibility
Inherited CTPS1, CD27, and CD70 deficiencies in humans have revealed key factors of T‐lymphocyte expansion, a critical prerequisite for an efficient immunity to Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection.
