TIE-2-expressing monocytes are lymphangiogenic and associate specifically with lymphatics of human breast cancer

George Coukos, Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Luc Henry, Ioannis Xenarios, Hans-Anton Lehr, Nathalie Rufer, Emanuela Marina Iancu

In experimental mouse models of cancer, increasingly compelling evidence point toward a contribution of tumor associated macrophages (TAM) to tumor lymphangiogenesis. Corresponding experimental observations in human cancer remain scarce although lymphatic ...

Exhaustion of tumor-specific CD8(+) T cells in metastases from melanoma patients

Bart Deplancke, Pedro Romero, Sunil Kumar Raghav, Nathalie Rufer, Lukas Baitsch

In chronic viral infections, CD8(+) T cells become functionally deficient and display multiple molecular alterations. In contrast, only little is known of self- and tumor-specific CD8(+) T cells from mice and humans. Here we determined molecular profiles o ...

Evidence for a TCR Affinity Threshold Delimiting Maximal CD8 T Cell Function

Olivier Michielin, Pedro Romero, Nathalie Rufer

Protective adaptive immune responses rely on TCR-mediated recognition of Ag-derived peptides presented by self-MHC molecules. However, self-Ag (tumor)-specific TCRs are often of too low affinity to achieve best functionality. To precisely assess the relati ...
