Leishmania infantum and Leishmania braziliensis : differences and similarities to evade the innate immune system [PDF]
Visceral leishmaniasis is a severe form of the disease, caused by Leishmania infantum in the New World. Patients present an anergic immune response that favors parasite establishment and spreading through tissues like bone marrow and liver.

Soluble CD14 and CD83 from Human Neonatal Antigen-Presenting Cells Are Inducible by Commensal Bacteria and Suppress Allergen-Induced Human Neonatal Th2 Differentiation [PDF]
ABSTRACTCD14 is expressed on the cell surface of various antigen-presenting cells, and CD83 is a maturation marker for dendritic cells (DC). CD14 and CD83 are also present as soluble proteins, and both have immunoregulatory functions. We examined whether neonatal cord blood monocytes or DC released soluble CD14 (sCD14) or sCD83 when exposed to the ...

ABSTRACT The intestinal immune system is constantly challenged to distinguish between innocuous dietary antigens, commensal microbiota and intestinal self‐antigens (self‐Ags) versus harmful pathogens and malignant cells. It resides in the intestinal wall itself, Peyer's patches (PPs) and the draining lymph nodes (LNs).

Vascular endothelial growth factor-A enhances indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase expression by dendritic cells and subsequently impacts lymphocyte proliferation [PDF]
Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen (Ag)-presenting cells that activate and stimulate effective immune responses by T cells, but can also act as negative regulators of these responses and thus play important roles in immune regulation.

A soluble form of CD83 ("sCD83") has been shown to block DC-mediated T cell stimulation in vitro and an immunosuppressive role has also been shown in vivo using an experimental-autoimmune-encephalomyelits (EAE) model. Using recombinant mutational analyses, recently, we could show that sCD83 forms a homo-dimer, whereby four cysteines are involved in the

Polysaccharides modulate immune responses by engaging pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to induce T‐cell activation. In vaccine design, their particle size critically influences lymph node targeting and activation mechanisms. By engineering structural complexity and multivalent PRR engagement, polysaccharides enable precise modulation of immune ...

We optimised a protocol for mHA‐specific Treg (mTreg) selection in an HLA‐matched context while defining its phenotype, transcriptional state and function. mTreg were highly activated and exerted specific, HLA class II‐, contact‐dependent suppression. This protocol can be explored as a highly personalised antigen‐specific Treg‐based therapy in future ...
