Site-restricted persistent cytomegalovirus infection after selective long-term depletion of CD4+ T lymphocytes [PDF]
We have established a murine model system for exploring the ability of a CD4 subset-deficient host to cope with cytomegalovirus infection, and reported three findings.

Type 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells in Allergic Disease. [PDF]
Type II innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) are a novel population of lineage-negative cells that produce high levels of Th2 cytokines IL-5 and IL-13. ILC2 are found in human respiratory and gastrointestinal tissue as well as in skin.

Neutrophil and lymphocyte responses to oral Streptococcus in Adamantiades-Behcet's disease [PDF]
Immune reactions against microorganisms play an important pathogenic role in Adamantiades-Behçet’s disease (ABD). We had previously obtained Streptococcus sanguinis (strain BD113-20) isolated from the oral cavity of patients with ABD.

Subset- and tissue-defined STAT5 thresholds control homeostasis and function of innate lymphoid cells [PDF]
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) patrol environmental interfaces to defend against infection and protect barrier integrity. Using a genetic tuning model, we demonstrate that the signal-dependent transcription factor (TF) STAT5 is critical for accumulation of

The Pro-tumorigenic IL-33 Involved in Antitumor Immunity: A Yin and Yang Cytokine
Interleukin-33 (IL-33), considered as an alarmin released upon tissue stress or damage, is a member of the IL-1 family and binds the ST2 receptor. First described as a potent initiator of type 2 immune responses through the activation of T helper 2 (TH2)

DY determinants, possibly associated with novel class II molecules, stimulate autoreactive CD4+ T cells with suppressive activity [PDF]
A set of T cell clones (TCC) isolated from HLA-DR-, Dw-, DQ-matched allogeneic MLCs was found to proliferate autonomously when stimulated with cells carrying a wide range of class I or II specificities.

CD4 T lymphocyte autophagy is upregulated in the salivary glands of primary Sjögren’s syndrome patients and correlates with focus score and disease activity [PDF]
Background: Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a common chronic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands and peripheral lymphocyte perturbation.
