Mucosal immunity to poliovirus [PDF]

open access: yesMucosal Immunology, 2022
A cornerstone of the global initiative to eradicate polio is the widespread use of live and inactivated poliovirus vaccines in extensive public health campaigns designed to prevent the development of paralytic disease and interrupt transmission of the virus.

The Protective HIV-1 Envelope gp41 Antigen P1 Acts as a Mucosal Adjuvant Stimulating the Innate Immunity

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Mucosal nasal vaccine development, although ideal to protect from pathogens invading mucosally, is limited by the lack of specific adjuvant. We recently used P1, a conserved region of HIV-1 gp41-envelope glycoprotein, as efficient antigen in a ...

S100A8-mediated metabolic adaptation controls HIV-1 persistence in macrophages in vivo

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
HIV-1 eradication is hindered by viral persistence in different cell reservoirs, including circulatory CD4+ T-cells and tissue-resident macrophages. Here, by analyzing male genital mucosa from cART-suppressed HIV1-infected individuals, Real et al.

Protocol to detect infectious SARS-CoV-2 at low levels using in situ hybridization techniques

open access: yesSTAR Protocols, 2023
Summary: Low and persistent levels of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA/protein/virus can be detected in clinical samples months after infection, possibly related to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants or development of ...

Antibody-Dependent Cellular Phagocytosis of HIV-1-Infected Cells Is Efficiently Triggered by IgA Targeting HIV-1 Envelope Subunit gp41

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Antibodies mediate a broad array of non-neutralizing Fc-mediated functions against HIV-1 including antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP).

Native CGRP Neuropeptide and Its Stable Analogue SAX, But Not CGRP Peptide Fragments, Inhibit Mucosal HIV-1 Transmission

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
BackgroundThe vasodilator neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) plays both detrimental and protective roles in different pathologies. CGRP is also an essential component of the neuro-immune dialogue between nociceptors and mucosal immune ...

Leptin and mucosal immunity [PDF]

open access: yesMucosal Immunology, 2012
Enhanced susceptibility to infection has long been recognized in children with congenital deficiency of leptin or its receptor. Studies in mice have demonstrated that leptin deficiency affects both the innate and acquired immune systems. Here, we review recent studies that demonstrate the impact on immunity of a common non-synonomous polymorphism of ...

Antibody Fc-chimerism and effector functions: When IgG takes advantage of IgA

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
Recent advances in the development of therapeutic antibodies (Abs) have greatly improved the treatment of otherwise drug-resistant cancers and autoimmune diseases. Antibody activities are mediated by both their Fab and the Fc.
