How to: Diagnose inborn errors of intrinsic and innate immunity to viral, bacterial, mycobacterial, and fungal infections

Background: Inborn errors of intrinsic and innate immunity constitute the focus of a growing research field that investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying susceptibility to infections previously not considered part of the spectrum of inborn errors o ...

Human genomics of the humoral immune response against polyomaviruses

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball, Christian Hammer, Flavia Aurelia Shoko Hodel, Zhi Ming Xu, Petar Scepanovic, Olivier Noël Marie Naret

Human polyomaviruses are widespread in humans and can cause severe disease in immunocompromised individuals. To identify human genetic determinants of the humoral immune response against polyomaviruses, we performed genome-wide association studies and meta ...

Predicting the Occurrence of Variants in RAG1 and RAG2

Jacques Fellay, Flavia Aurelia Shoko Hodel, Dylan Lawless

While widespread genome sequencing ushers in a new era of preventive medicine, the tools for predictive genomics are still lacking. Time and resource limitations mean that human diseases remain uncharacterized because of an inability to predict clinically ...

Evaluation of oxidation-sensitive polymersomes as vaccine nanocarriers to enhance humoral responses against arenavirus envelope glycoproteins

Clara Galan Navarro

Vaccines currently represent one of the most effective means to control and prevent infectious diseases affecting humans and animals and have dramatically improved public health, quality of life, and life expectancy. Over the last years several conceptual ...

Long-Term Engraftment of Primary Bone Marrow Stromal Cells Repairs Niche Damage and Improves Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Jörg Hülsken, Zuzana Tatárová

Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation represents a curative treatment for various hematological disorders. However, delayed reconstitution of innate and adaptive immunity often causes fatal complications. HSC maintenance and lineage differentiation ...

Exome Sequencing Reveals Primary Immunodeficiencies in Children with Community-Acquired Pseudomonas aeruginosa Sepsis

Jacques Fellay, Paul Jack Mc Laren, Istvan Bartha, Samira Asgari

One out of three pediatric sepsis deaths in high income countries occur in previously healthy children. Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) have been postulated to underlie fulminant sepsis, but this concept remains to be confirmed in clinical practice. Pseu ...

Microbiota-Induced Changes in Drosophila melanogaster Host Gene Expression and Gut Morphology

Bruno Lemaitre

To elucidate mechanisms underlying the complex relationships between a host and its microbiota, we used the genetically tractable model Drosophila melanogaster. Consistent with previous studies, the microbiota was simple in composition and diversity. Howev ...

TLR4- and TRIF-dependent stimulation of B lymphocytes by peptide liposomes enables T cell-independent isotype switch in mice

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Andrea Pfeifer, Valérie Gafner

Immunoglobulin class switching from IgM to IgG in response to peptides is generally T cell-dependent and vaccination in T cell-deficient individuals is inefficient. We show that a vaccine consisting of a dense array of peptides on liposomes induced peptide ...

Highly controlled electrofusion of individually selected cells in dielectrophoretic field cages

The prospect of novel therapeutic approaches has renewed the current interest in the fusion of rare cells, like stem cells or primary immune cells. While conventional techniques are only capable of mass fusion, lab-on-a-chip systems often still lack an acc ...

Impaired Humoral Immunity and Tolerance in K14-VEGFR-3-Ig Mice That Lack Dermal Lymphatic Drainage

Melody Swartz

Lymphatic vessels transport interstitial fluid, soluble Ag, and immune cells from peripheral tissues to lymph nodes (LNs), yet the contribution of peripheral lymphatic drainage to adaptive immunity remains poorly understood. We examined immune responses to ...

PIMS modulates immune tolerance by negatively regulating Drosophila innate immune signaling

Bruno Lemaitre

Metazoans tolerate commensal-gut microbiota by suppressing immune activation while maintaining the ability to launch rapid and balanced immune reactions to pathogenic bacteria. Little is known about the mechanisms underlying the establishment of this thres ...
