ABSTRACT The major fungal allergen Alt a 1 from Alternaria alternata is linked to allergic asthma. We assessed its biological role in nutritional immunity to iron and its allergenic potential using in silico, in vitro, and in vivo approaches. Alternaria was cultured with or … Read more

ABSTRACT Identification of pathways preventing timely recovery from acute respiratory viral infection is under-studied but essential for long-term health. Using unbiased proteomics, we reveal an unexpected, reduction in lung basement membrane proteins 21 days after influenza infection when mice had symptomatically recovered. Basement membrane … Read more

ABSTRACT Endometrial injury triggers inflammation responses, and persistent inflammation is a recognized cause of infertility. Emerging evidence underscores the critical role of the vagus nerve in modulating immunity. Although vagotomy is known to induce systemic inflammation, the specific mechanism by which the vagus nerve … Read more

ABSTRACT The placental intervillous space is a unique immunological niche where circulating maternal immune cells come into direct contact with the fetal syncytiotrophoblast. While adaptations in immune cell composition are known to occur in the maternal decidua throughout pregnancy, it remains unclear whether similar … Read more

ABSTRACT Immunological memory elicited either through previous or ongoing M. tuberculosis (Mtb) infection provides a critical mechanism by which hosts protect against re-infection and disease progression upon Mtb re-exposure. Conversely, the uneven competition between distinct Mtb strains suggest certain bacterial clades have enhanced ability … Read more

ABSTRACT Intravenous (IV) vaccination with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) mediates sterilizing immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in rhesus macaques but the cellular mechanisms underlying protection are undefined. We used mass cytometry (CyTOF) to broadly profile pulmonary immunity induced by IV BCG and observed an expansion … Read more

ABSTRACT Radiotherapy (RT) is essential in treating abdominal and pelvic cancers but often damages the healthy tissues, particularly the intestines, leading to radiation-induced toxicities with limited treatment options. While the immune system is known to help regulate tissue damage, immune mechanisms involved in RT-induced … Read more

ABSTRACT The immune balance in mucosal tissues depends on a delicate interplay between inflammatory T helper 17 (Th17) cells and immunosuppressive regulatory T cells (Tregs). But what happens when this balance is disturbed? In this study, we uncovered a critical role for acyl-CoA synthetase … Read more
