cDC1 Prime and Are Licensed by CD4+ T Cells to Induce Anti-Tumour Immunity

Early priming of CD4+ T cells against tumor-derived antigens required cDC1, and this was not simply because they transport antigens to lymph nodes for processing by cDC2, as selective deletion of major histocompatibility class II molecules in cDC1 also prevented early CD4+ T cell priming.

Antitumor Dendritic Cell Vaccination in a Priming and Boosting Approach

The authors believe that currently available strategies for vaccines that target dendritic cells or use them to present antitumor antigens could be integrated into existing clinical practice using prime–boost approaches.

Targeting HIV Env Immunogens to B Cell Follicles in Nonhuman Primates through Immune Complex or Protein Nanoparticle Formulations

Investigators demonstrated two strategies to concentrate HIV envelope immunogens in follicles, via the formation of immune complexes or by employing self-assembling protein nanoparticles for multivalent display of envelope antigens.

Toll-Like Receptor Dual-Acting Agonists Are Potent Inducers of PBMC-Produced Cytokines That Inhibit Hepatitis B Virus Production in Primary Human Hepatocytes

Researchers found that conditioned media (CM) from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) stimulated with dual-acting TLR7/8 and TLR2/7 agonists were more potent drivers of inhibition of hepatisis e and hepatitis s antigen secretion from hepatitis B virus-infected primary human hepatocytes than CM from PBMCs stimulated with single-acting TLR7 or TLR9 agonists.
