Chimeric antigen receptors combining 4-1BB and CD28 signaling domains augment PI3kinase/AKT/Bcl-XL activation and CD8+ T cell-mediated tumor eradication.

Molecular Therapy, 2010
To enhance the strength of activation afforded by tumor antigen-specific receptors, we investigated the effect of adding combined CD28 and 4-1BB costimulatory signaling domains to a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific for prostate-specific membrane ...

Golgi enzymes are retrieved from the plasma membrane to the trans‐Golgi network

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Golgi enzymes are traditionally considered resident proteins retained within the Golgi apparatus. Here, we demonstrate that a subset transiently reaches the cell surface and is subsequently retrieved to the trans‐Golgi network via retrograde transport. Using a nanobody‐based toolkit, we uncover a dynamic trafficking cycle of several Golgi enzymes.

Chimeric switch and inverted cytokine receptors in T cell therapy: reprogramming T cells to overcome immune suppression in the solid tumor microenvironment

Frontiers in Immunology
Adoptive T cell therapy has transformed cancer treatment, with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy demonstrating remarkable clinical success in hematological malignancies.

Phenotypic T cell exhaustion in a murine model of bacterial infection in the setting of pre-existing malignancy.

PLoS ONE, 2014
While much of cancer immunology research has focused on anti-tumor immunity both systemically and within the tumor microenvironment, little is known about the impact of pre-existing malignancy on pathogen-specific immune responses.

Growth of a cloned helper T cell line induced by a monoclonal antibody specific for the antigen receptor: interleukin 1 is required for the expression of receptors for interleukin 2.

Journal of Immunology, 1984
By using as an experimental system the induction of growth of a cloned, antigen:Ia-reactive helper T cell line by an antigen receptor-specific monoclonal antibody, we demonstrated that growth requires two essential co-factors, exogenously produced IL 1 ...

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

Antigen-experienced NK-T cells: integrating new insights and exploring therapeutic potential in cancer immunotherapy

Frontiers in Immunology
Conventional CD8+ T cells can acquire natural killer (NK) cell receptors upon persistent antigen exposure, forming antigen-experienced NK-T (AENK-T) cells.

Translophagy—A potential link between autophagy impairment and translational errors

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterised by the accumulation of abnormal proteins and protein aggregates, but their origin often remains unknown. We propose that selective autophagy removes damaged protein‐making machinery, preventing errors during protein synthesis.

HLA‐Bw4 homozygosity is associated with an impaired CD4 T cell recovery after initiation of antiretroviral therapy [PDF]

, 2008
We assessed the influence of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles HLA-Bw4 and HLA-Bw6 on CD4 T cell recovery after starting successful combination antiretroviral therapy in 265 individuals. The median gains in the CD4 T cell count after 4 years were 258

Rational design of T cell receptors with enhanced sensitivity for antigen. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Enhancing the affinity of therapeutic T cell receptors (TCR) without altering their specificity is a significant challenge for adoptive immunotherapy. Current efforts have primarily relied on empirical approaches.
