    Autophagy-Enhancing ATG16L1 Polymorphism Is Associated with Improved Clinical Outcome and T Cell Immunity in Chronic HIV-1 Infection

    Scientists demonstrated a protective role for autophagy in HIV-1 disease pathogenesis. Targeted analysis of genetic variation in core autophagy gene ATG16L1 revealed the previously unidentified rs6861 polymorphism, which correlated clinically with improved survival of untreated HIV-1-infected individuals.

    An Immune-Competent Human Gut Microphysiological System Enables Inflammation-Modulation by Faecalibacterium prausnitzii

    Researchers established a gut epithelium-microbe-immune microphysiological system to maintain the long-term continuous co-culture of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii/Faecalibacterium duncaniae with colonic epithelium, antigen-presenting cells, and CD4+ naive T cells circulating underneath the colonic epithelium.

    Efficacy of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors Differs in Various Status of Carcinoma: A Study Based on 29 Cohorts with 3255 Participants

    Investigators found that the presence of viral infection was evidently associated with improved outcomes in cancer patients undergoing immune checkpoint inhibitors, particularly in cases of HBV/HCV and HPV infections.

    Fully Human Anti-B7-H3 Recombinant Antibodies Inhibited Tumor Growth by Increasing T Cell Infiltration

    Human anti-B7H3 single-chain antibodies were isolated and screened from the fully human phage immune library with B7H3 as the target. The antibodies screened from a fully human phage library had low immunogenicity and high affinity, which was more beneficial for clinical application.

    Impact of Influenza and Pneumococcal Vaccines on HIV Persistence and Immune Dynamics during Suppressive Antiretroviral Therapy

    Persons with HIV on antiretroviral therapy were enrolled in the clinical trial. Blood was collected at baseline and days 2,4,7,14, and 30 postimmunizations. Expression of immunological markers on T cell subsets were measured by flow cytometry.

    Exploring the Human Archaeome: Its Relevance for Health and Disease, and Its Complex Interplay with the Human Immune System

    The authors coalesce existing knowledge on the human archaeome, a less-studied yet critical non-bacterial component of the human microbiome, with a focus on its interaction with the immune system.

    Abstract
    INDUSTRY AND POLICY NEWS

    Gritstone Bio Announces Positive Preliminary Progression-Free Survival and Long-Term Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) Data from Phase II Portion of Ongoing Phase II/III Study of Its Personalized Cancer Vaccine, GRANITE, in Front-Line Metastatic Microsatellite Stable Colorectal Cancer (MSS-CRC)

    The randomized, controlled, open-label study is designed to quantify the clinical benefit of maintenance therapy with GRANITE in combination with immune checkpoint blockade in addition to fluoropyrimidine/bevacizumab versus fluoropyrimidine/bevacizumab alone.
