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 ...

Protein engineering approaches for direct antigen targeting in CD8+ T cell inducing vaccines

Vasiliki Panagiotou

Effective vaccine design and public vaccination programs have led to the eradication of several diseases and protected millions of people from deadly infections. However, intracellular infections remain a challenge and their eradication requires the activa ...

Immunomodulatory Roles of Lymphatic Vessels in Cancer Progression

Melody Swartz

Lymphatic vessels in the tumor microenvironment are known to foster tumor metastasis in many cancers, and they can undergo activation, hyperplasia, and lymphangiogenesis in the tumor microenvironment and in the tumor-draining lymph node. The mechanism unde ...

Enhancing Efficacy of Anticancer Vaccines by Targeted Delivery to Tumor-Draining Lymph Nodes

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Alexandre de Titta, Pedro Romero, Marie Ballester, Laura Jeanbart, Patricia Corthésy Henrioud

The sentinel or tumor-draining lymph node (tdLN) serves as a metastatic niche for many solid tumors and is altered via tumor-derived factors that support tumor progression and metastasis. tdLNs are often removed surgically, and therapeutic vaccines against ...

Targeting the tumor-draining lymph node with adjuvanted nanoparticles reshapes the anti-tumor immune response

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Efthymia Vokali, Melody Swartz, Amanda Waite Lund, Susan Thomas

Accumulating evidence implicates the tumor-draining lymph node (TDLN) in tumor-induced immune escape, as it drains regulatory molecules and leukocytes from the tumor microenvironment. We asked whether targeted delivery of adjuvant to the TDLN, presumably a ...

Emerging roles of lymphatic endothelium in regulating adaptive immunity

Melody Swartz, Catherine Mary Card

Emerging research on the roles of stromal cells in modulating adaptive immune responses has included a new focus on lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs). LECs are presumably the first cells that come into direct contact with peripheral antigens, cytokines, d ...

Steady-State Antigen Scavenging, Cross-Presentation, and CD8(+) T Cell Priming: A New Role for Lymphatic Endothelial Cells

Melody Swartz, Marcela Rincón-Restrepo, Efthymia Vokali, Sachiko Hirosue, Amanda Waite Lund, Patricia Corthésy Henrioud, Vidya Raghavan

Until recently, the known roles of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) in immune modulation were limited to directing immune cell trafficking and passively transporting peripheral Ags to lymph nodes. Recent studies demonstrated that LECs can directly suppre ...

Notch Signaling Regulates Follicular Helper T Cell Differentiation

Freddy Radtke, Ute Koch, Nicolas Fasnacht, Anne Wilson, Floriane Auderset

Follicular helper T (TFH) cells are specialized in providing help for B cell differentiation and Ab secretion. Several positive and negative regulators of TFH cell differentiation have been described but their control is not fully understood. In this study ...
