Major Histocompatibility Complex: Polymorphism from Coevolution

, 2002
There are many examples of pathogens adapting toward evasion of immune responses. Viruses, such as influenza, rapidly alter their genetic make-up, and each year there appear to be sufficient susceptible hosts that lack memory lymphocytes from previous influenza infections to give rise to a new epidemic.

Single‐Cell Level Characterization of B Cell Depletion and Repopulation Following Rituximab in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Rituximab, a CD20+ B cell depletion therapy, is frequently used to treat systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, variability in patient response highlights the need for a deeper understanding of the underlying immune cell dynamics of B cell depletion and repopulation.

Human Leukocyte Antigen Typing in Organ Transplantation: Methods, Clinical Relevance, and Practical Applications

Indian Journal of Kidney Diseases
Transplantation of tissues and organs is one of the greatest achievements of this century. Antigens which vary between members of same species are known as allo-antigens.

Nerve growth factor is sufficient to cause multiple osteoarthritis‐relevant pathological features in naïve murine knee joints

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Nerve growth factor (NGF), a key mediator of pain, is increased in osteoarthritic (OA) joints. Antibodies against NGF show analgesic effects in painful knee OA, but clinical development was stopped due to side‐effects in the joints. Knowledge about the biological effects of NGF on joint tissues is limited.

Expression of MHC II genes

, 2005
Innate and adaptive immunity are connected via antigen processing and presentation (APP), which results in the presentation of antigenic peptides to T cells in the complex with the major histocompatibility (MHC) determinants.

Higher complement C4 gene copy number constitutes a shared genetic risk factor for giant cell arteritis and IgA vasculitis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Low copy number (CN) of complement C4 isoforms and high CN of retroviral HERV‐K elements are known risk factors for many immune‐mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), often showing sex‐biased effects. Here, we assessed whether CN variation within the C4 gene contributes to giant cell arteritis (GCA) and IgA vasculitis (IgAV), two complex ...

Efficacy, safety and cost‐effectiveness of CAR‐T therapy

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
CAR T‐cells demonstrate high efficacy in blood cancers, including ALL, MM and DLBCL. Innovations target solid tumours despite challenges such as antigen escape. Combination therapies enhance the delivery and infiltration of CAR T cells. Toxicity, cost and resistance remain major barriers to clinical use.
