New immunomodulatory roles of lymphatic endothelium and implications for immunotherapy

Efthymia Vokali

The lymphatic system serves a critical role in fluid homeostasis, lipid metabolism and immune surveillance. The growing appreciation of its implication in various diseases challenges the conventional view of lymphatics as a passive transport system. Tradit ...

The role of cGAS in innate immunity and beyond

Andrea Ablasser, Muhammet Fatih Gülen

The sensing of foreign DNA is crucial for host defense against several pathogens. In the cytosol the enzyme cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is critical for the recognition of pathogen-derived DNA and provides key signals that initiate immune responses. Beyo ...

Structure and biochemical characterization of bacteriophage phi92 endosialidase

Petr Leiman, Christopher Browning

Surface-associated capsular polysaccharides (CPSs) protect bacteria against phage infection and enhance pathogenicity by interfering with the function of the host innate immune system. The CPS of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli K92 is a unique sialic aci ...

Methods to study Drosophila immunity

Bruno Lemaitre, Olivier Binggeli, Andrew Jonathan Bretscher

Innate immune mechanisms are well conserved throughout evolution, and many theoretical concepts, molecular pathways and gene networks are applicable to invertebrate model organisms as much as vertebrate ones. Drosophila immunity research benefits from an e ...

Analysis of Stop-Gain and Frameshift Variants in Human Innate Immunity Genes

Jacques Fellay, Amalio Telenti, Istvan Bartha, Paul Jack Mc Laren, Ioannis Xenarios

Loss-of-function variants in innate immunity genes are associated with Mendelian disorders in the form of primary immunodeficiencies. Recent resequencing projects report that stop-gains and frameshifts are collectively prevalent in humans and could be resp ...

Gut microbiota metabolism of dietary fiber influences allergic airway disease and hematopoiesis

Nicola Harris, Eva Sabrina Gollwitzer, Benjamin John Marsland

Metabolites from intestinal microbiota are key determinants of host-microbe mutualism and, consequently, the health or disease of the intestinal tract. However, whether such host-microbe crosstalk influences inflammation in peripheral tissues, such as the ...

Peripherally Administered Nanoparticles Target Monocytic Myeloid Cells, Secondary Lymphoid Organs and Tumors in Mice

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Sachiko Hirosue, Alexandre de Titta, Stephane Kontos, Iraklis Kourtis

Nanoparticles have been extensively developed for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. While the focus of nanoparticle trafficking in vivo has traditionally been on drug delivery and organ-level biodistribution and clearance, recent work in cancer biol ...

Nanoparticle conjugation of CpG enhances adjuvancy for cellular immunity and memory recall at low dose

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Alexandre de Titta, Marie Ballester, Laura Jeanbart, Ziad Julier

In subunit vaccines, strong CD8(+) T-cell responses are desired, yet they are elusive at reasonable adjuvant doses. We show that targeting adjuvant to the lymph node (LN) via ultrasmall polymeric nanoparticles (NPs), which rapidly drain to the LN after int ...

Arranged Sevenfold: Structural Insights into the C-Terminal Oligomerization Domain of Human C4b-Binding Protein

Matteo Dal Peraro, Matteo Thomas Degiacomi

The complement system as a major part of innate immunity is the first line of defense against invading microorganisms. Orchestrated by more than 60 proteins, its major task is to discriminate between host cells and pathogens and to initiate immune response ...
