The mechanisms of protection of therapeutically applied antibodies in cytomegalovirus infection are so far unknown. Here it is shown in an in vivo mouse model that Fc-receptors are essential for protection from a lethal infection in immunodeficient hosts. Whereas NK cells have a limited role, monocytes are involved in protection. Created with BioRender.com. Abstract Human … Read more

The authors developed a novel blocking of binding (BoB)-ELISA to accurately estimate the titers of serum antibodies targeting distinct influenza hemagglutinin (HA) epitopes. Leveraging BoB-ELISA, the authors found that serum antibodies targeting the HA head epitopes were immunodominant, whereas antibodies against the stem epitope, although subdominant, were highly prevalent in healthy donors. Importantly, BoB-ELISA allowed … Read more

Highly sensitive reporter cell line for detection of interferon types I–III and their neutralization by antibodies. [[{“value”:”Kevin Groen, Roger Kuratli, Lauren Sar, Andri Vasou, Michael Huber, David J. Hughes, Benjamin G. Hale”}]]

Interferons (IFNs) are a critical component of innate immune defenses and limit viral disease severity. To advance studies on IFNs and their neutralization by pathogenic autoantibodies, we generated a Renilla luciferase-based reporter cell line capable of detecting the activities of IFN-Is, IFN-II, and IFN-IIIs. The reporter cell line exhibits a 125- to 2000-fold higher sensitivity … Read more

A20 intrinsically influences human effector T‐cell survival and function by regulating both NF‐κB and JNK signaling. [[{“value”:”Gina Dabbah‐Krancher, Allison Ruchinskas, Melissa A.

The ubiquitin-editing enzyme A20 regulates innate and adaptive immune receptor signaling, but its intrinsic function in human T cells is poorly understood. We show that A20 deletion enhances cytokine secretion and alters apoptosis sensitivity in primary human T cells by modulating NF-kB and JNK/AP-1 signaling downstream of the CARD11-BCL10-MALT1 complex. Abstract A20 is a dual-function … Read more

Chronic stimulation desensitizes β2‐adrenergic receptor responses in natural killer cells.

β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) stimulation of NK cells inhibits inside-out signaling and LFA-1 activation, explaining the mobilization of NK cells upon acute stress. Repeated or sustained β2AR stimulation desensitizes β2AR via G-protein switch. Local administration of long-acting β2-agonists does not interfere with systemic NK cell functions in asthma patients. Abstract Adrenergic receptors (ARs) are preferentially expressed … Read more

Liver type 1 innate lymphoid cells undergo apoptosis in murine models of macrophage activation syndrome and are dispensable for disease.

In macrophage activation syndrome, a severe cytokine storm syndrome with liver inflammation, liver type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s) rapidly produce proinflammatory cytokines. However, disease progression results in liver ILC1 apoptosis. In addition, disease development was unaltered in Hobit knockout mice, which lack liver ILC1s, indicating their dispensability for disease. Abstract Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) … Read more

Sphingosine‐1‐phosphate receptor type 4 is critically involved in the regulation of peritoneal B‐1 cell trafficking and distribution in vivo. [[{“value”:”Janik Riese, Annabel Kleinwort, Maurice Hannemann, Celine Hähnel, Stephan Kersting, Tobias Schulze”}]]

30 de September de 2024 by

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is implicated in the regulation of peritoneal B-cell trafficking. Here we show that the effects of S1P on peritoneal B-1 cell migration are mediated by the receptor S1PR4 via direct chemotactic action as well as via upregulation of the expression level of chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CXCR5. Abstract B-1 cells are crucially involved … Read more

This review highlights the pivotal role of macrophages in regulating tissue homeostasis and immune response during disease. Advanced omics technologies reveal their adaptability within tissue-specific niches, influenced by their metabolic states. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for developing targeted therapies that modulate macrophage function, offering innovative strategies for managing chronic inflammatory conditions.

Reduction in mucosal‐associated invariant T cells (MAIT) in APECED patients is associated with elevated serum IFN‐γ concentration.

We found a reduced frequency of circulating mucosal-associated invariant T cells (MAITs) in patients with APECED with a clear negative correlation to inflammatory markers CRP, IL-18, and IFN-γ. These findings suggest that the decrease in MAITs is secondary to type 1 immune dysregulation present in the disease. Abstract Mucosal-associated invariant T cells (MAIT) are innate-like … Read more

This review summarizes the current knowledge about γδ T cells in immune-mediated kidney diseases. We highlight that γδ T cells are associated with an aggravation of tissue damage through direct pathways and interactions with other leukocyte subsets .
