Assessing the response of T cells to "Mycobacterium tuberculosis" lipids [PDF]

, 2008
Most vaccines used nowadays are created using inactivated or attenuated compounds from micro-organisms. Advances in basic immunology and molecular biology opened the gate for consequent improvement of vaccination strategies.

Dynamic Self‐Clickable Decellularized Matrix Hydrogels for Regulating Vascularity and Enhancing Muscle Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Dynamic decellularized hydrogels are prepared using bovine decellularized small intestine submucosa (SIS) norbornene (dSIS‐NB). Bovine dSIS contained significant amounts of disulfide‐rich fibrillin‐I, enabling ‘self‐clickable’ thiol‐norbornene gelation and spatiotemporal tuning of hydrogel physicochemical properties.

Diverse MR1-restricted T cells in mice and humans

Nature Communications, 2019
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells express invariant TRAV1/TRAJ33 TCR-α gene segments and detect antigens presented by MR1. Here the authors show that atypical, MR1-restricted MAIT populations that include both Trav1+ and Trav1- cells are found ...

Mucosal-Associated Invariant T Cells Expressing the TRAV1-TRAJ33 Chain Are Present in Pigs

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are a subpopulation of evolutionarily conserved innate-like T lymphocytes bearing invariant or semi-invariant TCRα chains paired with a biased usage of TCRβ chains and restricted by highly conserved monomorphic

Human mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells possess capacity for B cell help

, 2017
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are an innate-like T cell subset, restricted by the nonclassic MHC class I-related protein MR1 and enriched at mucosal sites.

Impact of HIV infection on the frequency and phenotype of Th17 cells in the female genital tract

, 2010
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 85-103).T helper (Th) 17 cells have recently been implicated in regulating gut mucosal immunity during HIV infection by sustaining gut mucosal barrier integrity, although they do not respond to HIV directly ...

Intestinal Source Control of Lipid Metabolism by Enzyme‐Probiotic Encapsulated, Spatiotemporal Crosslinked, and Small Intestine‐Adhesive Hydrogel Microspheres

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A thiol‐modified alginate hydrogel microsphere‐encapsulated enzyme‐probiotic biohybrid (AKK‐COD) system has been developed to address the spatiotemporal delivery and colonization challenges of small intestine‐targeted probiotic for lipid metabolism regulation. The system exerts sequential functions of intragastric protection, small intestinal adhesion,
