Differential immunodominance hierarchy of CD8+ T cell responses in HLA-B27:05 and B27:02-mediated control of HIV-1 infection

Jacques Fellay

The well-characterised association between HLA-B27:05 and protection against HIV disease progression has been linked to immunodominant HLA-B27:05-restricted CD8+ T-cell responses towards the conserved Gag 263-272 ('KK10') and Pol 901-909 'KY9' epitopes. ...

T cell–induced CSF1 promotes melanoma resistance to PD1 blockade

Michele De Palma, George Coukos, Krisztian Homicsko, Sina Nassiri

Colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) is a key regulator of monocyte/macrophage differentiation that sustains the protumorigenic functions of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). We show that CSF1 is expressed in human melanoma, and patients with metastatic m ...
