Quantification of T Cell Clonality in Human T Cell Leukaemia Virus Type-1 Carriers Can Detect the Development of Adult T Cell Leukaemia Early

Scientists showed that adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) could be detected early in HTLV-1-carriers through quantification of T-cell receptor (TCR)Vβ subunit diversity on T-cells infected with HTLV-1 using an ‘oligoclonality index’.

Identification of Human Immune Cell Subtypes Most Responsive to IL-1β–Induced Inflammatory Signaling Using Mass Cytometry

Researchers identified effector memory CD4+ T cells and CD4−CD8low/−CD161+ T cells, specifically those positive for the chemokine receptor CCR6, as the circulating immune subtypes with the greatest response to IL-1β.

MTH1 Inhibitors for the Treatment of Psoriasis

Using the Imiquimod psoriasis mouse model, researchers found that MutT homolog 1 (MTH1) inhibition diminished psoriatic histological characteristics and normalized the levels of neutrophils and T cells in skin and skin-draining lymph nodes. The inhibition abolished the expression of Th17-associated cytokines in the skin, which was in line with decreased levels of IL-17-producing γδ T cells in lymph nodes.
