Variability 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 ...

Stromal Notch ligands foster lymphopenia-driven functional plasticity and homeostatic proliferation of naive B cells

Freddy Radtke, Ute Koch

In lymphopenic environments, secondary lymphoid organs regulate the size of B and T cell compartments by supporting the homeostatic proliferation of mature lymphocytes. The molecular mechanisms underlying these responses and their functional consequences r ...

Rationally designed Human Cytomegalovirus gB nanoparticle vaccine with improved immunogenicity

Davide Demurtas

Author summary Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is the foremost viral cause of congenital birth defects. Attempts to vaccinate against HCMV brought moderate, though not sufficient, reduction in infection. Moreover, phase II clinical trial with gB for ...

HIV Transmission Chains Exhibit Greater HLA-B Homogeneity Than Randomly Expected

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball

Background: HIV's capacity to escape immune recognition by human leukocyte antigen (HLA) is a core component of HIV pathogenesis. A better understanding of the distribution of HLA class I in HIV-infected patients would improve our knowledge of pathogenesis ...

Modes of antigen presentation by lymph node stromal cells and their immunological implications

Sachiko Hirosue

Antigen presentation is no longer the exclusive domain of cells of hematopoietic origin. Recent works have demonstrated that lymph node stromal cell (LNSC) populations, such as fibroblastic reticular cells, lymphatic and blood endothelial cells, not only p ...

Epiphyseal Chondro-Progenitor Cell Therapy For Articular Cartilage Regeneration

Salim Elias Darwiche

Articular cartilage regeneration poses particularly tough challenges for implementing cell-based therapies. Many cell types have been investigated looking for a balanced combination of responsiveness and stability, yet techniques are still far from definin ...

Therapeutic Immunomodulation of the Lymphoid-like Tumor Environment Using Nanoparticulate Formulations

Iraklis Kourtis

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Understanding the underlying mechanisms that lead to tumor escape and evasion is pivotal for the design of new therapeutic applications. This thesis takes an immunobioengineering approach, and navigates through ...

HLA-C cell surface expression and control of HIV/AIDS correlate with a variant upstream of HLA-C

Jacques Fellay, Amalio Telenti

A variant 35 kb upstream of the HLA-C gene (-35C/T) was previously shown to associate with HLA-C mRNA expression level and steady-state plasma HIV RNA levels. We genotyped this variant in 1,698 patients of European ancestry with HIV. Individuals with known ...

Toll-like receptor engagement converts T-cell autoreactivity into overt autoimmune disease

Nicola Harris

Autoimmune diabetes mellitus in humans is characterized by immunological destruction of pancreatic beta islet cells. We investigated the circumstances under which CD8(+) T cells specific for pancreatic beta-islet antigens induce disease in mice expressing ...

Autoantibodies in newly diagnosed diabetic children immunoprecipitate human pancreatic islet cell proteins

Steinunn Baekkeskov Hanahan

Insulin-dependent diabetic (IDD) patients have a high prevalence of circulating autoantibodies against islet of Langerhans cells at the time of diagnosis1–4. Inflammatory cells within the islets5, leukocyte migration inhibition in response to pancreatic an ...
