dendritic cells

[PLoS Pathogens] Investigators examined the effect of transient breakdown of the immunological tolerance induced by Treg-cell depletion on adaptive immune responses against administered SARS-CoV-2 antigen, spike protein 1.

[Journal of Molecular Biology] Scientists identified a transcriptional signature associated with progressive resistance to HIV infection in CD4+ T cells.

[Human Immunology] The authors reviewed the molecular mechanisms and the role of immune cells and responses involved in pulmonary hypertension development.

[Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] Scientists used desmoglein 3, a pemphigus antigen expressed in keratinocytes, to analyze peripheral tolerance under physiological antigen-expression conditions.

[Cellular & Molecular Immunology] Increased Metrnβ effectively blocked the development of airway hyperreactivity and decreased inflammatory cell airway infiltration and type 2 cytokine production, which was associated with downregulated dendritic-mediated adaptive immune responses.

[Nature Reviews Immunology] Scientists discuss novel latency-reversing agents targeting DCs as well as DC-based strategies to enhance the clearance of infected cells by CD8+ T cells and strategies to improve the killing activity of natural killer cells.
