PD‐L1‐Binding Antigen Presenters: Redirecting Vaccine‐Induced Antibodies for Cancer Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The PBAP‐gE complex anchors gE antigen to PD‐L1 on tumor cells. Vaccine‐induced anti‐gE antibodies simultaneously engage FcγRIIIa on NK cells and tumor‐bound PBAP‐gE, triggering NK cell activation and antibody‐dependent cellular cytotoxicity, thereby selectively eliminating PD‐L1–expressing tumor cells.

Reliability of CMV-IgG kinetics in the diagnosis of CMV primary infection: sensitivity, specificity, and clinical implications

Microbiology Spectrum
Diagnosis of cytomegalovirus (CMV) primary infection (PI) during pregnancy relies on serology (CMV-IgG, IgM, and IgG avidity). However, as for toxoplasmosis, subsequent serology testing 3–5 weeks later is often performed to confirm the diagnosis. In this

Atypical Clinical Course of Griscelli Syndrome Type 2 With Primarily Neurologic Presentation and Adult‐Onset in a 46‐Year‐Old Male

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Griscelli Syndrome Type 2 (GS2) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by pathogenic mutations in the RAB27A gene. Typically, it is characterized by cutaneous hypopigmentation, immunodeficiency, with or without neurological abnormalities secondary to hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Without treatment, GS2 often results in fatal
