Memory B Cells Activate Brain-Homing, Autoreactive CD4(+) T Cells in Multiple Sclerosis

Jian Wang, Christian Hammer

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that is caused by the interplay of genetic, particularly the HLA-DR15 haplotype, and environmental risk factors. How these etiologic factors contribute to generating an autoreactive CD4(+) T cell repertoire is no ...

Vaccine nanocarriers: Coupling intracellular pathways and cellular biodistribution to control CD4 vs CD8 T cell responses

Marcela Rincón-Restrepo, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Sachiko Hirosue, Edward Allen Phelps, Sylvie Hauert, Daniel Kenneth Bonner, Aaron Mayer

Nanoparticle delivery systems are known to enhance the immune response to soluble antigens (Ags) and are thus a promising tool for the development of new vaccines. Our laboratory has engineered two different nanoparticulate systems in which Ag is either en ...

Bioengineering approaches in immunotherapy

Martina Damo

Vaccination has been regarded to as the most attractive immunotherapy for cancer because of its ability to instruct immune cells to recognize and kill tumor cells. Exosomes are one of the most recent discoveries translated from basic biology into experimen ...
