A novel CCM2 gene mutation associated with family cerebral cavernous malformation
Background: Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are common vascular malformations that predominantly arise in the central nervous system and are mainly characterized by enlarged vascular cavities without intervening brain parenchyma.

The T‐cell receptor repertoire of regulatory T cells [PDF]
SummaryThe CD4+ CD25+ regulatory population of T cells (Treg cells), which expresses the forkhead family transcription factor (Foxp3), is the key component of the peripheral tolerance mechanism that protects us from a variety of autoimmune diseases.

Donor T cells for CAR T cell therapy
AbstractAdoptive cell therapy using patient-derived chimeric receptor antigen (CAR) T cells redirected against tumor cells has shown remarkable success in treating hematologic cancers. However, wider accessibility of cellular therapies for all patients is needed.

Delta-like 4 is indispensable in thymic environment specific for T cell development. [PDF]
The thymic microenvironment is required for T cell development in vivo. However, in vitro studies have shown that when hematopoietic progenitors acquire Notch signaling via Delta-like (Dll)1 or Dll4, they differentiate into the T cell lineage in the ...

Soluble CD40 ligand can replace the normal T cell-derived CD40 ligand signal to B cells in T cell-dependent activation [PDF]
We have constructed a soluble chimeric fusion protein between the mouse CD8 alpha chain and the mouse CD40 T cell ligand. This protein binds to both human and mouse B cells.

Modeling intestinal Graft-versus-Host Disease using IFNγ-damaged organoids to characterize T cell behavior [PDF]
reservedGraft-versus-Host Disease (GvHD) is a life-threating immune disorder that follows hematopoietic cell transplantation. GvHD is characterized by the activation of donor immune cells targeting the recipient's healthy tissues. One of the inflammatory

HLA-B*35-restricted CD8(+)-T-cell epitope in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv2903c. [PDF]
Few human CD8(+) T-cell epitopes in mycobacterial antigens have been described to date. Here we have identified a novel HLA-B*35-restricted CD8(+) T-cell epitope in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv2903c based on a reverse immunogenetics approach.

Controlling the Immune Suppressor: Transcription Factors and MicroRNAs Regulating CD73/NT5E
The NT5E (CD73) molecule represents an ecto-5′-nucleotidase expressed on the cell surface of various cell types. Hydrolyzing extracellular adenosine monophosphate into adenosine and inorganic phosphate, NT5E performs numerous homeostatic functions in ...

The role of T cell receptor dimerization for T cell antagonism and T cell specificity
T cell responses are highly specific and T cell receptors (TCRs) can recognise subtle differences in major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-peptide complexes. While nominal peptide antigens usually act as full agonists that trigger the whole spectrum of T cell responses, some peptides exhibiting mutations at the TCR-MHC/peptide contact site stimulate ...

The transcriptional activator Gli2 modulates T-cell receptor signalling through attenuation of AP-1 and NFκ-B activity. [PDF]
Different tissues contain diverse and dynamic cellular niches, providing distinct signals to tissue-resident or migratory, infiltrating immune cells.
