Dual function of the NK cell receptor 2B4 (CD244) in the regulation of HCV-specific CD8+ T cells [PDF]
The outcome of viral infections is dependent on the function of CD8+ T cells which are tightly regulated by costimulatory molecules. The NK cell receptor 2B4 (CD244) is a transmembrane protein belonging to the Ig superfamily which can also be expressed ...

Illuminating T-cell Exhaustion [PDF]
Abstract Two studies have illuminated some of the molecular underpinnings of T-cell exhaustion. The first pinpoints the subset of exhausted T cells that revive upon PD-1 blockade. The second describes key metabolic deficiencies—restricted glucose uptake and mitochondrial dysfunction—that drive T cells to exhaustion.

CD39 Expression Identifies Terminally Exhausted CD8+ T Cells. [PDF]
Exhausted T cells express multiple co-inhibitory molecules that impair their function and limit immunity to chronic viral infection. Defining novel markers of exhaustion is important both for identifying and potentially reversing T cell exhaustion ...

Highly coordinated changes in gene expression underlie T cell activation and exhaustion. However, the mechanisms by which such programs are regulated and how these may be targeted for therapeutic benefit remain poorly understood. Here, we comprehensively

Exhaustion is a state of T cell differentiation common during chronic infection and cancer that results in T cell dysfunction. Exhausted T cells (TEX) progressively lose effector functions and develop defects in memory T cell properties due to exposure to persistent antigen and inflammation.

Malaria drives T cells to exhaustion [PDF]
Malaria is a significant global burden but after >30 years of effort there is no vaccine on the market. While the complex life cycle of the parasite presents several challenges, many years of research have also identified several mechanisms of immune evasion by Plasmodium spp. Recent research on malaria, has investigated the programmed cell death-1 (PD-

Aberrant T-cell exhaustion in severe combined immunodeficiency survivors with poor T-cell reconstitution after transplantation [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) comprises rare inherited disorders of immunity that require definitive treatment through hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) or gene therapy for survival.

Mitochondrial dysfunction defines T cell exhaustion [PDF]
When T cells are exposed to continuous antigen stimulation, they become exhausted. Here, we preview findings from Scharping et al. (2021), who have illuminated the molecular mechanism by which the persistent antigen stimulation and severe hypoxic conditions in the intratumoral environment drive T cell exhaustion, losing their cytotoxic function and ...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is a major global concern, is characterized by a progressive disease pattern involving diverse host immune responses. Programmed cell death marker-1(PD-1) expression, a critical checkpoint for T cell exhaustion,

Reprogramming T cell differentiation and exhaustion in CAR-T cell therapy
T cell differentiation is a highly regulated, multi-step process necessary for the progressive establishment of effector functions, immunological memory, and long-term control of pathogens.
