Differential segregation in a cell-cell contact interface: the dynamics of the immunological synapse [PDF]
Receptor-ligand couples in the cell-cell contact interface between a T cell and an antigen-presenting cell form distinct geometric patterns and undergo spatial rearrangement within the contact interface.

Rejection of Experimental Hodgkins Lymphoma by T-cells Engineered with a CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor [PDF]
T cells engineered to express chimeric receptors combining an external antibody binding domain with the CD3ζ T cell receptor (TCR) internal domain for triggering cell activation are being used for immunotherapeutic targeting of tumour cells in a non-HLA ...

A BAFF ligand-based CAR-T cell targeting three receptors and multiple B cell cancers
Antigen escape represents a potential drawback of chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy targeting a single tumor-associated antigen. To reduce the risk of antigen escape, here the authors report the design and characterization of a BAFF ligand

Mature B cells express B cell antigen receptor (BCR), toll-like receptors (TLR) and TNF family receptors including CD40 and B-cell activating factor receptor (BAFFR). These receptors transduce cellular signals to govern the physiological and pathological

The T cell receptor/CD3 complex is composed of at least two autonomous transduction modules [PDF]
Recent studies have demonstrated that the CD3-ζ subunit of the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) complex is involved in signal transduction. However, the function of the remaining invariant subunits, CD3-γ, -δ, and , is still poorly understood.

Recognition of Human Histocompatibility Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-E Complexed with HLA Class I Signal Sequence–derived Peptides by D94/NKG2 Confers Protection from Natural Killer Cell–mediated Lysis [PDF]
Human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA)-E is a nonclassical HLA class I molecule, the gene for which is transcribed in most tissues. It has recently been reported that this molecule binds peptides derived from the signal sequence of HLA class I ...

The inhibitory receptor LILRB4 (ILT3) modulates antigen presenting cell phenotype and, along with LILRB2 (ILT4), is upregulated in response to Salmonella infection. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Leukocyte Ig-like receptors (LILR) are a family of innate immune receptors with immunomodulatory functions. High-level expression of the receptors LILRB2 (ILT4) and LILRB4 (ILT3) is a feature of tolerogenic antigen presenting cells and has ...
