|
| By generating new knockout mouse strains lacking CD2 or CD48 in the C57BL/6 background, scientists determined that whereas CD2 was necessary on T cells for T cell activation, its ligand CD48 was not required on antigen-presenting cells. [Science Immunology] |
|
|
|
| The authors reported that lncRNA-GM polarized T helper 17 differentiation but inhibited iTreg differentiation by reducing activity of Foxo1, a transcriptional factor thatwas important in inhibiting TH17 differentiation but promoting Treg generation. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| Marker regions were located in genes with a described function for innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) , such as Tbx21, Gata3, or Il23r, but also in genes that have not been related to ILC biology. [Journal of Experimental Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Researchers showed that the adaptive immune system played a vital role in the antitumor effect of pharmacologic inhibition of Myc. [Cellular & Molecular Immunology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators found that CDCP1 was present on both human and mouse retinal pigmented epithelial cells, a component of the blood-retina barrier, using a new anti-CDCP1 monoclonal antibody that they developed. [JCI Insight] |
|
|
|
| The authors examined the contact hypersensitivity (CHS) response and NET formation in Il36rn−/− mice. Il36rn−/− mice showed enhanced CHS responses, increased infiltration of inflammatory cells, including neutrophils, CD4+ T cells, and CD8+ T cells. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists performed whole-genome bisulfite sequencing to assess DNA methylation patterns in nine pig immune cell populations: CD21+ and CD21− B cells, four T cell fractions, natural killer and myeloid cells, and neutrophils. [BMC Genomics] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the apoptosis rate of Tregs and their suppressive activity in patients with SLE and then to recognize the genes and signaling pathways that cause Treg apoptosis. [Lupus] |
|
|
|
|
| Investigators summarises the latest understanding of CD20+ T cells, their presence in various diseases, their putative function and how they may be an ongoing target of CD20-depleting agents. [Inflammation Research] |

|
|
| A decision by the Southwest National Primate Research Center to retain its director with full duties despite a finding that he engaged in research misconduct has sparked disbelief. [ScienceInsider] |
