Enhanced CAR–T cell activity against solid tumors by vaccine boosting through the chimeric receptor
A boost for CAR–T cells Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)–T cell immunotherapy has been highly successful for treating certain blood cancers. Yet this approach has been a challenge for solid tumors, in part because it is difficult to target functional ...

Regulation of T Cell Apoptosis via T Cell Receptors and Steroid Receptors [PDF]
Less than 5% of immature CD4/CD8 double-positive (DP) thymocytes are positively selected to survive and differentiate into single-positive CD4 and CD8 T cells, while self-reactive DP thymocytes undergo apoptosis (negative selection). Both positive and negative selection events are active processes that involve signaling through the T cell receptors ...

Insertion of the FeB cofactor in cNORs lacking metal inserting chaperones
Nitric oxide reductase is an enzyme found in the bacterial denitrification pathway. The NOR active site contains a non‐heme iron, often, but not always inserted with the assistance of chaperones. Here, we study the insertion of FeB in the subfamily of cNORs lacking chaperones and found a putative channel, conserved in the family, perhaps enabling the ...

New simplified molecular design for functional T cell receptor [PDF]
We have produced a chimeric single-chain T cell receptor (TcR) that combines the specific antibody recognition function and TcR/CD3 signaling properties within the same polypeptide chain.

Functional role of T-cell receptor nanoclusters in signal initiation and antigen discrimination
Significance T-cell activation requires the translation of antigen binding to the T-cell receptor (TCR) into intracellular signaling. However, how antigen recognition and signal transduction are mechanistically linked is poorly understood.

LHCPs are transported to the thylakoid membrane via the (cp)SRP pathway. This process involves a transit complex of (cp)SRP43, (cp)SRP54 and LHCP, which interacts with (cp)FtsY and Alb3 at the membrane. GTP hydrolysis by (cp)SRP54 and (cp)FtsY triggers complex dissociation.

Novel chimeric antigen receptor T cells based on T-cell receptor-like antibodies
. The need for novel therapeutics against human cancers such as leukemias and solid tumors is well recognized. Human T cells are poised to make a fundamental change in the therapeutic approach. T-cell interaction with a tumor cell is a critical event and

Global Stability of McKeithan's Kinetic Proofreading Model for T-Cell Receptor Signal Transduction [PDF]
This note presents a self-contained and streamlined exposition of chemical-network results due to Feinberg, Horn, and Jackson. As an application, it shows the global asymptotic stability to equilibria of McKeithan's kinetic proofreading model for T-cell receptor signal transduction.

Affinity and dose of TCR engagement yield proportional enhancer and gene activity in CD4+ T cells. [PDF]
Affinity and dose of T cell receptor (TCR) interaction with antigens govern the magnitude of CD4+ T cell responses, but questions remain regarding the quantitative translation of TCR engagement into downstream signals.
