Entering the Age of Specificity in T Cell Immunity

Immunological Reviews, Volume 343, Issue 1, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The discovery of MHC restriction, the resolution of peptide–MHC structure, and the identification of the T cell receptor gene quickly centered epitope‐level specificity as a core concern of T cell biology. Epitope mapping culminated in functional peptide‐based stimulation assays and tetramer staining, which together provide exquisite ...

The Significance of cGAS‐STING Signaling in Response to Oncogenic Viruses

Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The cyclic GMP‐AMP synthase (cGAS)‐stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway, as a key DNA sensor, plays a significant role in the regulation of innate immune responses. This pathway can be activated by sensing abnormal DNA, and is of great significance for resisting the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms and maintaining ...

Upregulation of HLA-F expression by BK polyomavirus infection induces immune recognition by KIR3DS1-positive natural killer cells.

Kidney International, 2020
BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy is a common complication after kidney transplantation leading to reduced graft function or loss. The molecular pathogenesis of BK polyomavirus-induced nephropathy is not well understood. A recent study had described

Burden and Correlates of Multiple Chronic Infections and Their Associations With Cancer Incidence in Chinese Adults: A Large Case‐Cohort Study

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 5, Page 1282-1295, 1 September 2026.
While several oncogenic pathogens cause site‐specific cancers, uncertainties remain about many other chronic infections and combined pathogen effects, especially in non‐Western populations. Using a large case–cohort study nested within the China Kadoorie Biobank, the authors found that co‐infection was common, with a mean of 10 pathogens per individual.

Polyomavirus-Negative Merkel Cell Carcinoma: A More Aggressive Subtype Based on Analysis of 282 Cases Using Multimodal Tumor Virus Detection

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2016
Previous studies have reached conflicting conclusions regarding the proportion of Merkel cell carcinomas (MCCs) that contain the Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) and the clinical significance of tumor viral status.

Glycosphingolipids as Receptors for Non-Enveloped Viruses

Viruses, 2010
Glycosphingolipids are ubiquitous molecules composed of a lipid and a carbohydrate moiety. Their main functions are as antigen/toxin receptors, in cell adhesion/recognition processes, or initiation/modulation of signal transduction pathways.

Next‐Generation Sequencing Methods for Sensitive Hepatitis B Viral Genome Analysis: A European Study

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This multicentre study investigated the utility of next‐generation sequencing (NGS) to detect and generate hepatitis B virus (HBV) genomes in samples of low viral load (from 0.2 to 6207 IU/mL). 23 HBV DNA‐positive plasma samples of genotypes A‐E and one HBV‐negative control sample were assayed blindly via 9 established NGS methods from 6 ...

BK polyomavirus is a cause of bladder cancer

Current Opinion in Virology, 2019
In 2014, the International Agency for Research on Cancer judged Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) to be a probable human carcinogen. BK polyomavirus (BKPyV, a distant cousin of MCPyV) was ruled a possible carcinogen.

Transmission of Anellovirus From Kidney‐Donor to Pediatric Recipient: An Exploratory Study

Pediatric Transplantation, Volume 30, Issue 9, September 2026.
Donor‐to‐recipient anellovirus transmission occurred in 1 of 6 pediatric kidney transplant pairs, in a recipient with pre‐existing immunosuppression. The donor‐derived lineage became detectable 1 year after transplantation, indicating no meaningful contribution to early post‐transplant recipient TTV load and supporting continued research into TTV as an
