T cell antigen discovery via signaling and antigen-presenting bifunctional receptors [PDF]

, 2019
CD8^+ T cells recognize and eliminate tumors in an antigen-specific manner. Despite progress in characterizing the antitumor T cell repertoire and function, the identification of target antigens remains a challenge.

libtissue - implementing innate immunity [PDF]

, 2006
In a previous paper the authors argued the case for incorporating ideas from innate immunity into articficial immune systems (AISs) and presented an outline for a conceptual framework for such systems.

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

T-Cell Gene Therapy in Cancer Immunotherapy: Why It Is No Longer Just CARs on The Road

Cells, 2020
T-cells have a natural ability to fight cancer cells in the tumour microenvironment. Due to thymic selection and tissue-driven immunomodulation, these cancer-fighting T-cells are generally low in number and exhausted.

Genes Encoding the T-Cell Antigen Receptor

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1985
The search for the elusive and controversial T-cell antigen receptor is over. It is now clear that gene complexes for both alpha and beta chains are distinct from those for immunoglobulin genes. They are, however, related to Ig genes as well as to other class I and class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) gene products. Therefore, they belong to

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Diverse and reprogrammable mechanisms of malignant cell transformation in lymphocytes: pathogenetic insights and translational implications

Frontiers in Oncology
While normal B- and T-lymphocytes require antigenic ligands to become activated via their B- and T-cell receptors (BCR and TCR, respectively), B- and T-cell lymphomas show the broad spectrum of cell activation mechanisms regarding their dependence on BCR

Regulation of T cell lymphokine production by killer cell inhibitory receptor recognition of self HLA class I alleles. [PDF]

, 1996
The killer cell inhibitory receptors (KIRs) are surface glycoproteins expressed by natural killer (NK) and T cells that specifically recognize defined groups of polymorphic human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules.

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Derivation of mimetic γδ T cells endowed with cancer recognition receptors from reprogrammed γδ T cell.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to derive chimeric antigen receptor-modified T (CAR-T) cells has great industrial potential. A previous study used αβ T cell-derived CAR-modified iPSCs to produce CAR-T cells.
