Development of a novel Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) for its use in Natural Killer (NK) cells for cancer treatment and beyond

The use of CAR technologies has revolutionized cancer treatment. Their unprecedented efficacy against B cell malignancies has opened the doors for a lot of excitement and research in the field. These synthetic receptors are composed of an antigen recogniti ...

Type 1 piliated uropathogenic Escherichia coli hijack the host immune response by binding to CD14

Kathrin Tomasek

A key attribute of persistent or recurring bacterial infections is the ability of the pathogen to evade the host's immune response. Many Enterobacteriaceae express type 1 pili, a pre-adapted virulence trait, to invade host epithelial cells and establish pe ...

Specific Protein-Membrane Interactions Promote Packaging of Metallo-beta-Lactamases into Outer Membrane Vesicles

Matteo Dal Peraro, Alessio Prunotto, Guillermo Bahr

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) act as carriers of bacterial products such as plasmids and resistance determinants, including metallo-beta-lactamases. The lipidated, membrane-anchored metallo-beta-lactamase NDM-1 can be detected in Gram-negative OMVs. The s ...

Nanomechanics of multidomain neuronal cell adhesion protein contactin revealed by single molecule AFM and SMD

Giovanni Dietler, Andrzej Kulik, Karolina Anna Mikulska Ruminska

Contactin-4 (CNTN4) is a complex cell adhesion molecule (CAM) localized at neuronal membranes, playing a key role in maintaining the mechanical integrity and signaling properties of the synapse. CNTN4 consists of six immunoglobulin C2 type (IgC2) domains a ...

Structural and Mechanistic Paradigm of Leptin Receptor Activation Revealed by Complexes with Wild-Type and Antagonist Leptins

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

Leptin activates its cognate receptor (LR) to regulate body weight and metabolically costly processes, such as reproduction and immune responses. Despite such benevolent pleiotropy, leptin-mediated signaling has been implicated in autoimmune diseases and b ...

T Cell Costimulation Molecules CD80/86 Inhibit Osteoclast Differentiation by Inducing the IDO/Tryptophan Pathway

Mario Michael Zaiss, Zhen Chen

Bone resorption is seminal for the physiological remodeling of bone during life. However, this process needs to be strictly controlled; excessive bone resorption results in pathologic bone loss, osteoporosis, and fracture. We describe a control mechanism o ...

On stand by: host genetics of HIV control

The impact of host genetic variation on determining the differential outcomes after HIV infection has been studied by two approaches: targeting of candidate genes and genome-wide association studies (GWASs). The overlap in genetic variants that has been id ...

Immune Engineering Via Differential Antigen Carriers and Co-Stimulatory Molecules

Jackson Eby

There is an increasing clinical need for vaccines capable of enhancing antigen-specific immune responses and treatments that can induce immunological tolerance toward a single antigen. Here we explore two platforms to enhance either immunization or toleriz ...

Factors determining the spontaneous activation of splenic dendritic cells in culture

Freddy Radtke, Ute Koch, Anne Wilson

Dendritic cells (DCs) serve as a link between the innate and adaptive immune systems. The activation state of DCs is crucial in this role. However, when DCs are isolated from lymphoid tissues, purified and placed in culture they undergo 'spontaneous' activ ...

Neuroplastin-55 binds to and signals through the fibroblast growth factor receptor

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

Neuroplastin (Np) is a glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) and existing in two isoforms, Np55 and Np65, named according to their molecular weights. The extracellular part of Np65 contains three immunog ...
