Absence of specific alternatively spliced exon of CD44 in macrophages prevents colitis

Ulrich Hoffmann

CD44 is a transmembrane molecule appearing in numerous isoforms generated by insertions of alternatively spliced variant exons (CD44v) and having various binding partners. CD44v7 on T cells was proposed to promote colitis by preventing T-cell apoptosis. He ...

Clobetasol propionate causes immunosuppression in zebrafish (Danio rerio) at environmentally relevant concentrations

Kristin Schirmer, Anita Orsolya Hidasi

Synthetic glucocorticoids (GCs) are potential endocrine disrupting compounds that have been detected in the aquatic environment around the world in the low ng/L (nanomolar) range. GCs are used as immunosuppressants in medicine. It is of high interest wheth ...

Notch Signaling Regulates the Homeostasis of Tissue-Restricted Innate-like T Cells

Freddy Radtke, Ute Koch

Although Notch signaling plays important roles in lineage commitment and differentiation of multiple cell types including conventional T cells, nothing is currently known concerning Notch function in innate-like T cells. We have found that the homeostasis ...

In-Vivo Detection and Tracking of T Cells in Various Organs in a Melanoma Tumor Model by F-19-Fluorine MRS/MRI

Lothar Helm, Pascal Miéville, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Olivier Michielin

Background F-19-MRI and F-19-MRS can identify specific cell types after in-vitro or in-vivo F-19-labeling. Knowledge on the potential to track in-vitro F-19-labeled immune cells in tumor models by F-19-MRI/MRS is scarce. Aim To study F-19-based MR techniqu ...

TRIM33 switches off Ifnb1 gene transcription during the late phase of macrophage activation

Michele De Palma, Mario Leonardo Squadrito

Despite its importance during viral or bacterial infections, transcriptional regulation of the interferon-beta gene (Ifnb1) in activated macrophages is only partially understood. Here we report that TRIM33 deficiency results in high, sustained expression o ...

Antibodies Trap Tissue Migrating Helminth Larvae and Prevent Tissue Damage by Driving IL-4Rα-Independent Alternative Differentiation of Macrophages

Arne Seitz, Romain Guiet, Nicola Harris, Alessandra Piersigilli, Beatrice Volpe, Julia Esser-von Bieren, Ilaria Mosconi, Fei Chen

Approximately one-third of the world's population suffers from chronic helminth infections with no effective vaccines currently available. Antibodies and alternatively activated macrophages (AAM) form crucial components of protective immunity against chall ...
