Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion in the naïve T Cell Receptor Repertoire
ABSTRACT The naïve T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire forms the immunological background from which adaptive cellular immune responses emerge. We examine the fundamental properties of the human naïve TCR repertoire through the perspective of Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion. We first consider the richness of the repertoire.

Superantigen architecture: Functional decoration on a conserved scaffold
A defining and consistent feature of the bacterial superantigens from Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes is their strongly conserved three-dimensional structure.

Superantigens are bacterial, viral, retroviral and some naturally occurring proteins that can specifically activate a large proportion of T and/or B cells. In contrast to classical peptide antigen recognition, superantigens do not require processing to small peptides.

Gamma-globulin Inhibits Superantigen-induced Lymphocyte Proliferation and Cytokine Production
Background: High-dose pooled human immunoglobulin (PHIG) treatment is sometimes effective in superantigen related inflammatory diseases, such as toxic shock syndrome and Kawasaki disease.

Staphylococci are the main cause of nosocomial infections globally. The exotoxin staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) produced by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of pathology after a staphylococcal infection.

On average, phones harbored 3.62 of the top 10 killers and 2.49 ESKAPE organisms. In total, 667 VFGs (8621 Hits) and 262 ARGs (2475 Hits) were identified on 95 mobile phones. Mobile phones serve as a platform for horizontal gene transfer and AMR development.

Image_1_Essential Domain-Dependent Roles Within Soluble IgG for in vivo Superantigen Properties of Staphylococcal Protein A: Resolving the B-Cell Superantigen Paradox.PDF [PDF]
Staphylococcus aureus is a common commensal and frequent opportunistic pathogen that causes invasive infections that often recur. Co-evolution with the host has led to the development of toxins that affect diverse immune cell types.

Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus Molecular Biology and Oncogenesis
Mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV), which was discovered as a milk‑transmitted, infectious cancer-inducing agent in the 1930s, has been used since that time as an animal model for the study of human breast cancer.

Allergic Sensitization to Inhalant Allergens in the Upper Respiratory Tract—the B Cell Side
ABSTRACT Allergic diseases are on the rise worldwide, driven by respiratory epithelial barrier dysfunction that promotes sensitization to inhalant allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and fungal spores. These antigens trigger IgE‐mediated immune responses that lead to diseases such as allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma.
