Soluble CD40 ligand can replace the normal T cell-derived CD40 ligand signal to B cells in T cell-dependent activation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
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.

Robust T cell activation requires an eIF3-driven burst in T cell receptor translation

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Activation of T cells requires a rapid surge in cellular protein synthesis. However, the role of translation initiation in the early induction of specific genes remains unclear. Here, we show human translation initiation factor eIF3 interacts with select

Cellular-level versus receptor-level response threshold hierarchies in T-Cell activation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Peptide-MHC (pMHC) ligand engagement by T-cell receptors (TCRs) elicits a variety of cellular responses, some of which require substantially more TCR-mediated stimulation than others.

Stochastic modelling of T-cell activation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Biology, 2014
We investigate a special part of the human immune system, namely the activation of T-Cells, using stochastic tools, especially sharp large deviation results. T-Cells have to distinguish reliably between foreign and self peptides which are both presented to them by antigen presenting cells.

Regulation of caspase-3 processing by cIAP2 controls the switch between pro-inflammatory activation and cell death in microglia. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The activation of microglia, resident immune cells of the central nervous system, and inflammation-mediated neurotoxicity are typical features of neurodegenerative diseases, for example, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. An unexpected role of caspase-

Role of LFA-1 integrin in the control of a lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection

open access: yesVirulence, 2020
Leukocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) is the most widely expressed member of the β2 integrin family of cell-cell adhesion molecules. Although LFA-1 is thought to regulate multiple aspects of T cell immunity, its role in the response of CD8+ T ...

Blinatumomab-induced T cell activation at single cell transcriptome resolution

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2021
Background Bi-specific T-cell engager (BiTE) antibody is a class of bispecific antibodies designed for cancer immunotherapy. Blinatumomab is the first approved BiTE to treat acute B cell lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).

Mitochondrial activity in T cells

open access: yesMitochondrion, 2018
Mitochondria fulfill important and diverse roles during the different stages of T cell adaptive responses. Here we discuss the role of the mitochondria in T cells from the initial steps of activation at the immune synapse to their participation in memory response and T cell exhaustion. Mitochondria are relocated to the immune synapse in order to supply

MiR-146a: a key microRNA involved in regulating mast cell survival and T lymphocyte differentiation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Mast cells are long-lived, tissue-resident cells of the innate immune system. Since the identification of mechanisms that regulate mast cell proliferation, survival and overall homeostasis in the tissues may have important implications for the treatment ...
