Ability of γδ T cells to modulate the Foxp3 T cell response is dependent on adenosine. [PDF]
Whether γδ T cells inhibit or enhance the Foxp3 T cell response depends upon their activation status. The critical enhancing effector in the supernatant is adenosine.

Apoptotic epitope-specific CD8+ T cells and interferon signaling intersect in chronic hepatitis C virus infection [PDF]
CD8(+) T cells specific to caspase-cleaved antigens derived from apoptotic T cells represent a principal player in chronic immune activation (CIA). Here, we found that both apoptotic epitope (AE)-specific and hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific CD8(+) T ...

Immune, metabolism and therapeutic targets in RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis is a classic autoimmune disease, the pathogenesis of which is closely linked to the auto-reactivity of immune cells and joint inflammation. Three cell types, namely T cells, macrophages and fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS), play an

Cells, Stem Cells, and Cancer Stem Cells [PDF]
The stem cell field owes a great deal to the previous work conducted by embryologists and researchers devoted to reproductive medicine. The time is coming when this emerging field will pay off in the reproductive sciences by offering new avenues of understanding gametogenesis and early embryonic development.

Tolerance without clonal expansion: Self-antigen-expressing B cells program self-reactive T cells for future deletion [PDF]
B cells have been shown in various animal models to induce immunological tolerance leading to reduced immune responses and protection from autoimmunity.

Cell-in-cell: A virgin land of cell biology [PDF]
Cell-in-cell affects multiple functions of both internalized and internalizing cells. Immune effector cells and their targets can also interact in this fashion. We have recently investigated the outcome of cell-in-cell, the molecular mechanisms underpinning this phenomenon, and its relevance in both physiological and pathological conditions.

Persistent immune activation in CVID and the role of IVIg in its suppression
Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is one of the most common and clinically important primary immune deficiencies. CVID patients have poor humoral immunity resulting in recurrent infections of the gastrointestinal and upper respiratory tracts, as ...

The potential role of T-cells and their interaction with antigen-presenting cells in mediating immunosuppression following trauma-hemorrhage [PDF]
Objective: Trauma-hemorrhage results in depressed immune responses of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and T-cells. Recent studies suggest a key role of depressed T-cell derived interferon (IFN)-g in this complex immune cell interaction.

MAIT cells come to the rescue in cancer immunotherapy? [PDF]
Recent progress in immunobiology has led to the observation that, among cells classically categorized as the typical representatives of the adaptive immune system, i.e., T cells, some possess the phenotype of innate cells.
