[Science Advances] Six candidates among the most commonly shared HLA-A2 epitopes with evidence of translation were selected for immunological evaluation. In vitro priming assays confirmed the immunogenicity of these epitopes, which induced high-avidity CD8+ T cell clones.

[NPJ Regenerative Medicine] Using a defined engineered thymic niche system, investigators undertook a multi-stage statistical learning-based optimization campaign and identified IL-3 and tumor necrosis factor α as a stage- and dose-specific enhancers of cell proliferation and T-lineage differentiation.

[Lyell Immunopharma, Inc. (Globenewswire, Inc.)] Lyell Immunopharma, Inc. announced that US FDA has cleared an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to initiate a Phase I clinical trial for LYL132, an investigational T-cell receptor therapy for patients with solid tumors expressing New York esophageal squamous cell carcinoma 1 that the company is developing in collaboration with GSK.

[Cancer Immunology Research] Investigators tested the in vitro effect of different NK cell engagers, which triggered either NKp46 or NKp30 together with CD16A, and target either CD19 or CD20 to induce killing of pediatric B cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

[Nature Communications] Investigators used a CD19−/− mouse model of antibody-deficiency to demonstrate that a relationship exists between dysbiosis, defects in bile acid homeostasis, and gluten-sensitive enteropathy of the small intestine.

[Frontiers in Immunology] Scientists showed that polymorphonuclear-myeloid-derived suppressor cells were present in high numbers in the polymorphonuclear of patients with primary or metastatic lung tumor.
