Machine learning predictions of MHC-II specificities reveal alternative binding mode of class II epitopes
Florence Pojer, George Coukos, Kelvin Ka Ching Lau, Amédé Noredine Larabi, Julien Racle, David Gfeller, Marta Andreia Da Silva Perez, Alexandre Harari
CD4+T cells orchestrate the adaptive immune response against pathogens and cancer by recognizing epitopes presented on class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC-II) molecules. The high polymorphism of MHC-II genes represents an important hurdle toward ...
CELL PRESS2023The HLA-B*57:01 allele corresponds to a very large MHC haploblock likely explaining its massive effect for HIV-1 elite control
Introduction: We have reanalyzed the genomic data of the International Collaboration for the Genomics of HIV (ICGH), centering on HIV-1 Elite Controllers.Methods: We performed a genome-wide Association Study comparing 543 HIV Elite Controllers with 3,272 u ...
Lausanne2023Mechanism of Reduction of Aqueous U(V)-dpaea and Solid-Phase 2 U(VI)-dpaea Complexes: The Role of Multiheme c‑Type Cytochromes
Marinella Mazzanti, Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Karin Lederballe Meibom, Margaux Camille Andréa Molinas, Radmila Faizova
The biological reduction of soluble U(VI) complexes to form immobile U(IV) species has been proposed to remediate contaminated sites. It is well established that multiheme c-type cytochromes (MHCs) are key mediators of electron transfer to aqueous phase U( ...
2023Exploring the interplay of molecular pattern and valency for selective interactions at the bio-interface
Cell-cell communication is fundamental for immune balance. Multivalent interactions of surface receptors at immune interfaces drive specific communication, with stimulatory and inhibitory signals guiding the immune outcome. Notably, the valency, affinity, ...
EPFL2023Hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy to control malignant pleural mesothelioma
OBJECTIVE: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare disease that has a poor response to conventional therapy. Hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITOC), a treatment combining fever-range hyperthermia with intrapleural cisplatin chemotherapy, ha ...
EPFL2023Dendritic cell cross-dressing and tumor immunity
Michele De Palma, Amaia Martinez Usatorre
In addition to direct and cross-presentation, dendritic cells (DCs) can present tumor antigens (TAs) to T cells via a hitherto poorly understood mechanism called "cross-dressing." DC cross-dressing involves the acquisition of preformed peptide-major histoc ...
WILEY2022Variability of Primary Sjogren's Syndrome Is Driven by Interferon alpha and Interferon alpha Blood Levels Are Associated With the Class II HLA-DQ Locus
Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball, Nicolas Meyer
Objective Primary Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is the second most frequent systemic autoimmune disease, affecting 0.1% of the general population. To characterize the molecular and clinical variabilities among patients with primary SS, we integrated transcriptom ...
WILEY2022Microfluidic characterisation reveals broad range of SARS-CoV-2 antibody affinity in human plasma
Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Marc Emmenegger
The clinical outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infections, which can range from asymptomatic to lethal, is crucially shaped by the concentration of antiviral antibodies and by their affinity to their targets. However, the affinity of polyclonal antibody responses in p ...
LIFE SCIENCE ALLIANCE LLC2022Type 1 piliated uropathogenic Escherichia coli hijack the host immune response by binding to CD14
A key attribute of persistent or recurring bacterial infections is the ability of the pathogen to evade the host's immune response. Many Enterobacteriaceae express type 1 pili, a pre-adapted virulence trait, to invade host epithelial cells and establish pe ...
eLIFE SCIENCES PUBL LTD2022Identification of N-glycan positional isomers by combining IMS and vibrational fingerprinting of structurally determinant CID fragments
Thomas Rizzo, Ahmed Ben Faleh, Stephan Warnke, Priyanka Bansal
While glycans are present on the surface of cells in all living organisms and play key roles in most biological processes, their isomeric complexity makes their structural characterization challenging. Of particular importance are positional isomers, for w ...
