The adaptive immune response plays a critical role in detecting, eliminating, and creating a memory toward foreign pathogens and malignant cells. Demonstration of the specific and effective target killing of T cells in cancer has reignited interest in the study and therapeutic manipulation of the interaction between tumor and immune system.

Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) is the most common cause of genital tract infections as well as preventable blindness worldwide. Pattern recognition receptors such as toll-like receptors (TLRs) represent the initial step in recognizing pathogenic ...

Impact of chronic alcohol exposure on conventional and regulatory murine T cell subsets
IntroductionChronic alcohol use poses significant negative consequences to public health and, among its many biologic effects, is associated with significant T cell dysregulation within the adaptive immune system that has yet to be fully characterized ...

Saturated very long-chain fatty acids regulate macrophage plasticity and invasiveness
Saturated very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA, ≥ C22), enriched in brain myelin and innate immune cells, accumulate in X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) due to inherited dysfunction of the peroxisomal VLCFA transporter ABCD1.

Cell Cycle Entry Control in Naïve and Memory CD8+ T Cells
CD8+ T cells play important roles in immunity and immuno-oncology. Upon antigen recognition and co-stimulation, naïve CD8+ T cells escape from dormancy to engage in a complex programme of cellular growth, cell cycle entry and differentiation, resulting ...

TNF activity and T cells [PDF]
TNF (tumor necrosis factor) is both a pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine that is central to the development of autoimmune disease, cancer, and protection against infectious pathogens. As well as a myriad other activities, TNF can be a product of T cells and can act on T cells.

Activation of T lymphocytes results in immediate intracellular biochemical changes, including increases in cytosolic Ca(2+) levels, stimulation of protein kinase C (PKC) and regulation of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs). This review describes recent advances in the study of the signalling steps downstream of PKC and PTKs in T cells.

CD95 co-stimulation blocks activation of naive T cells by inhibiting T cell receptor signaling [PDF]
CD95 is a multifunctional receptor that induces cell death or proliferation depending on the signal, cell type, and cellular context. Here, we describe a thus far unknown function of CD95 as a silencer of T cell activation.

Not All Immune Checkpoints Are Created Equal
Antibodies that block T cell inhibition via the immune checkpoints CTLA-4 and PD-1 have revolutionized cancer therapy during the last 15 years. T cells express additional inhibitory surface receptors that are considered to have potential as targets in ...

Specific T-cell Activation in an Unspecific T-cell Repertoire [PDF]
T-cells are a vital type of white blood cell that circulate around our bodies, scanning for cellular abnormalities and infections. They recognise disease-associated antigens via a surface receptor called the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR). If there were a specific TCR for every single antigen, no mammal could possibly contain all the T-cells it needs ...
