The tumor microenvironment and its contribution to tumor evolution toward metastasis

Cancer cells acquire cell-autonomous capacities to undergo limitless proliferation and survival through the activation of oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. Nevertheless, the formation of a clinically relevant tumor requires support from ...

Interleukin-2 mastering regulation in cancer and autoimmunity

Ricardo Pérez Suárez, Livan Bladimir Alonso Sarduy

Autoimmunity and tumor immunity evolved as two distinct arenas in immunological research. However, the identification of self-antigens as the major components of malignant cells may define a central role for autoimmunity in cancer control tuned by peripher ...

Expression of lymphotoxin beta governs immunity at two distinct levels

Nicola Harris

Interaction of lymphotoxin alpha(1)beta(2) (LTalpha(1)beta(2)) with its receptor is key for the generation and maintenance of secondary lymphoid organ microstructure. We used mice conditionally deficient for LTbeta on different lymphocyte subsets to determ ...

High epitope expression levels increase competition between T cells

Marcel Salathé

Both theoretical predictions and experimental findings suggest that T cell populations can compete with each other. There is some debate on whether T cells compete for aspecific stimuli, such as access to the surface on antigen-presenting cells (APCs) or f ...

Targeting dendritic cells with biomaterials: developing the next generation of vaccines

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Sai Reddy

Current vaccine and immunotherapy technology faces ongoing challenges in both efficacy and practicality: many chronic diseases cannot yet be addressed by vaccination, and several vaccines that do function well require multiple injections, which is a substa ...

In vivo targeting of dendritic cells in lymph nodes with poly(propylene sulfide) nanoparticles

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Sai Reddy, Annemie Rehor

Delivery of biodegradable nanoparticles to antigen-presenting cells (APCs), specifically dendritic cells (DCs), has potential for immunotherapy. This study investigates the delivery of 20, 45, and 100nm diameter poly(ethylene glycol)-stabilized poly(propyl ...

Functionalized pyrrolidines as alpha-mannosidase inhibitors and growth inhibitors of human glioblastoma and melanoma cells

Pierre Vogel, Sandrine Gerber, Sylvain Favre, Hélène Fiaux

New substituted pyrrolidine-3,4-diol derivatives were prepared from D-(-)- and L-(+)-phenyl glycinol. The influence of the configuration and the substitution of the lateral side chain of these derivatives on the inhibition of 25 commercial glycosidases wer ...

Functional analysis of early secreted antigenic target-6, the dominant T-cell antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, reveals key residues involved in secretion, complex formation, virulence, and immunogenicity

Stewart Cole

Proteins of the 6-kDa early secreted antigenic target (ESAT-6) secretion system-1 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis are not only strongly involved in the anti-mycobacterial Th1-host immune response but are also key players for virulence. In this study, protein ...

Notch1 functions as a tumor suppressor in mouse skin

Freddy Radtke

Notch proteins are important in binary cell-fate decisions and inhibiting differentiation in many developmental systems, and aberrant Notch signaling is associated with tumorigenesis. The role of Notch signaling in mammalian skin is less well characterized ...
