Tuning CAR-T cells by targeting cancer-associated glycan in pancreatic cancer

Nature Communications
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has transformed cancer treatment but its efficacy remains limited in solid tumors due to antigen heterogeneity, an immunosuppressive microenvironment, and the glycocalyx barrier.

Aberrant Glycosylation of Anchor-Optimized MUC1 Peptides Can Enhance Antigen Binding Affinity and Reverse Tolerance to Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes

Biomolecules, 2016
Cancer vaccines have often failed to live up to their promise, although recent results with checkpoint inhibitors are reviving hopes that they will soon fulfill their promise. Although mutation-specific vaccines are under development, there is still high

Presence of the Tn antigen on hematopoietic progenitors from patients with the Tn syndrome. [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1985
The Tn syndrome is an acquired clonal disorder characterized by the exposure of a normally hidden determinant, the Tn antigen, on the surface of human erythrocytes, platelets, granulocytes, and lymphocytes. Two distinct populations, Tn positive (Tn+) and Tn negative (Tn-), of mature hemopoietic cells are present in Tn patients. To determine whether the

Electrically Readable Lateral Flow Assay Using Organic Transistors for Diagnostic Applications

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Electrolyte‐gated organic field‐effect transistors (EGOFETs) are integrated with lateral flow (LF) paper fluidics to create a reusable, portable, and low‐cost point‐of‐care (PoC) diagnostic test. The devices are validated for Human Immunoglobulin G detection, achieving high sensitivity (0.1 fm), selectivity, and reproducibility with rapid results in 20–

MGL Receptor and Immunity: When the Ligand Can Make the Difference

Journal of Immunology Research, 2015
C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) on antigen-presenting cells (APCs) facilitate uptake of carbohydrate antigens for antigen presentation, modulating the immune response in infection, homeostasis, autoimmunity, allergy, and cancer.

Multi-Modal Single-Cell Sequencing Identifies Cellular Immunophenotypes Associated With Juvenile Dermatomyositis Disease Activity

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is a rare autoimmune condition with insufficient biomarkers and treatments, in part, due to incomplete knowledge of the cell types mediating disease.

Retinal S-antigen Th1 cell epitope mapping in patients with Behcet's disease

, 2009
Background - Retinal S-antigen (S-Ag) is a most characterized autoantigen of autoimmune uveitis. The recognized immunodominant epitope of human S-Ag in patients with uveitis has not been identified. In this study, we selected certain patients with active

Anti-Tn/anti-A cross-reactive IgM function is compromised by ABO(H) phenotype-determining glycosylation, as evident in SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection

, 2022
  Exposure of a human host to SARS-CoV-2 results in activation of the host trans-membrane protease serine subtype 2 (TMPRSS2) and the ontogenetic polypeptide GalNAc transferase, forming a cross-species, mucin-type molecular O-glycan bridge, the classical

G3BP1 Succinylation at K413 is Critical for Cardiac Function by Modulating PI3K‐AKT‐mTOR Signal Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic illustrating the impact of G3BP1 succinylation at K413 on cardiac function. In the healthy human heart, G3BP1 succinylation maintains homeostatic mTOR signaling. In patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and heart failure (HF), G3BP1 de‐succinylation induces RagA expression and disrupts the binding of the TSC1/2 complex, leading to the ...

Lilrb4a Suppression Reprograms Microglia to Mitigate APOE4‐Associated Amyloid Plaques and Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy in Association With a PPAR‐Linked Pro‐Clearance State

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Targeting Lilrb4a in Apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4)‐associated Alzheimer's disease (AD) reprograms microglia toward a beneficial, phagocytic state. Genetic deletion or antisense inhibition of Lilrb4a suppresses p‐SHP2/NF‐κB/STAT1 signaling, restores PPAR‐linked lipid and energy metabolism, and reduces amyloid plaque burden and cerebral amyloid angiopathy ...
