T-cell abnormalities are present at high frequencies in patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome
Background A T-cell clone, thought to be the source of eosinophilopoietic cytokines, identified by clonal rearrangement of the T-cell receptor and by the presence of aberrant T-cell immunophenotype in peripheral blood defines lymphocytic variant of ...

Avidity of influenza-specific memory CD8+ T-cell populations decays over time compromising antiviral immunity [PDF]
Decline of cell-mediated immunity is often attributed to decaying T-cell numbers and their distribution in peripheral organs. This study examined the hypothesis that qualitative as well as quantitative changes contribute to the declining efficacy of CD8+

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

T cell receptor-engineered T cells for leukemia immunotherapy
At present, refractory and relapse are major issues for leukemia therapy and a major cause of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant failure. Over the last decade, many studies have demonstrated that adoptive cancer antigen-specific T cell therapy

The role of insulin receptor substrate 2 in hypothalamic and β cell function [PDF]
Insulin receptor substrate 2 (Irs2) plays complex roles in energy homeostasis. We generated mice lacking Irs2 in β cells and a population of hypothalamic neurons (RIPCreIrs2KO), in all neurons (NesCreIrs2KO), and in proopiomelanocortin neurons ...

LKB1 is essential for the proliferation of T-cell progenitors and mature peripheral T cells [PDF]
The serine/threonine kinase LKB1 has a conserved role in Drosophila and nematodes to co-ordinate cell metabolism. During T lymphocyte development in the thymus, progenitors need to synchronize increased metabolism with the onset of proliferation and ...

The T cell receptor sequence influences the likelihood of T cell memory formation
Summary: The amino acid sequence of the T cell receptor (TCR) varies between T cells of an individual’s immune system. Particular TCR residues nearly guarantee mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) and natural killer T (NKT) cell transcriptional fates ...

Molecular Determinants of Target Cell Recognition by Human γδ T Cells
The unique capabilities of gamma-delta (γδ) T cells to recognize cells under stressed conditions, particularly infected or transformed cells, and killing them or regulating the immune response against them, paved the way to the development of promising ...

CD45RB Status of CD8+ T Cell Memory Defines T Cell Receptor Affinity and Persistence
Summary: The identity of CD45 isoforms on the T cell surface changes following the activation of naive T cells and impacts intracellular signaling. In this study, we find that the anti-viral memory CD8+ T pool is unexpectedly comprised of both CD45RBhi ...
