Natural progression of HIV-1 infection depends on genetic variation in the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I locus, and the CD8(+) T cell response is thought to be a primary mechanism of this effect. However, polymorphism within the MHC ...

Innate immune mechanisms are well conserved throughout evolution, and many theoretical concepts, molecular pathways and gene networks are applicable to invertebrate model organisms as much as vertebrate ones. Drosophila immunity research benefits from an e ...

Analysis of Stop-Gain and Frameshift Variants in Human Innate Immunity Genes

Jacques Fellay, Amalio Telenti, Istvan Bartha, Ioannis Xenarios

Loss-of-function variants in innate immunity genes are associated with Mendelian disorders in the form of primary immunodeficiencies. Recent resequencing projects report that stop-gains and frameshifts are collectively prevalent in humans and could be resp ...

Pathogen-free husbandry conditions alleviate behavioral deficits and neurodegeneration in AD10 anti-NGF mice

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Daniel Constam, Stamatina Tzanoulinou, Séverine Marguerite Urfer

It has been suggested that systemic infection, occurring during aging and chronic neurodegenerative diseases, can evoke an immune response that aggravates the progression of neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. It has been shown that the AD11 neurodege ...

Peripherally Administered Nanoparticles Target Monocytic Myeloid Cells, Secondary Lymphoid Organs and Tumors in Mice

Stephane Kontos, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Sachiko Hirosue, Alexandre de Titta, Iraklis Kourtis

Nanoparticles have been extensively developed for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. While the focus of nanoparticle trafficking in vivo has traditionally been on drug delivery and organ-level biodistribution and clearance, recent work in cancer biol ...

Nanoparticle conjugation of CpG enhances adjuvancy for cellular immunity and memory recall at low dose

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Alexandre de Titta, Marie Ballester, Laura Jeanbart, Ziad Julier

In subunit vaccines, strong CD8(+) T-cell responses are desired, yet they are elusive at reasonable adjuvant doses. We show that targeting adjuvant to the lymph node (LN) via ultrasmall polymeric nanoparticles (NPs), which rapidly drain to the LN after int ...

The etiology of sterile inflammatory conditions is complex and affected by a variety of genetic, environmental and stochastic factors. But despite this overt complexity, progress has been made in elucidating mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis. An i ...

The complement system as a major part of innate immunity is the first line of defense against invading microorganisms. Orchestrated by more than 60 proteins, its major task is to discriminate between host cells and pathogens and to initiate immune response ...

Intestinal homeostasis is achieved, in part, by the integration of a complex set of mechanisms that eliminate pathogens and tolerate the indigenous microbiota. Drosophila melanogaster feeds on microorganism-enriched matter and therefore has developed effic ...

Elucidating the mechanisms of paclitaxel-loaded-nanoparticle-induced immune response

Efthymia Vokali

Dentritic cells (DC) are the most potent antigen-presenting cells and play a key role in the induction of effective immune responses, suggesting a novel target for anti-tumor immunotherapy. Paclitaxel (PXL) is a widely used chemotherapeutic, initially char ...
