Cathepsin S Regulates Antigen Processing and T Cell Activity in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, George Coukos, Elisa Oricchio, Julien Racle, Sarah Wehrle, Elena Battistello, Jessica Sordet, Natalya Katanayeva, Stephanie Jocelyne Sungalee, Elie Charles Eugène Dheilly

Genomic alterations in cancer cells can influence the immune system to favor tumor growth. In non-Hodgkin lymphoma, physiological interactions between B cells and the germinal center microenvironment are coopted to sustain cancer cell proliferation. We fou ...

Phage selection of chemically stabilized alpha-helical peptide ligands

Christian Heinis, Jörg Hülsken, Davide Bertoldo, Pierre Vincent Dessen, Philippe Diderich, Maola Khan Mohammad Golam

Short alpha-helical peptides stabilized by linkages between constituent amino acids offer an attractive format for ligand development. In recent years, a range of excellent ligands based on stabilized alpha-helices were generated by rational design using a ...

Fibronectin EDA and CpG synergize to enhance antigen-specific Th1 and cytotoxic responses

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Alexandre de Titta, Alizée Jéléna Grimm, Ziad Julier

Subunit vaccines, employing purified protein antigens rather than intact pathogens, require the addition of adjuvants for enhanced immunogenicity with a correct balance between strong activation of the immune system and low toxicity. Here we show that the ...

Middle-down analysis of monoclonal antibodies with electron transfer dissociation Orbitrap FTMS

Yury Tsybin, Luca Fornelli, Daniel Ayoub

The rapid growth of approved biotherapeutics, e.g., monoclonal antibodies or immunoglobulins G (IgGs), demands improved techniques for their quality control. Traditionally, proteolysis-based bottom-up mass spectrometry (MS) has been employed. However, the ...

Advances in helminth immunology: optimism for future vaccine design?

Nicola Harris

Intestinal helminths infect approximately 2 billion people worldwide. Worm burdens correlate with disease morbidity and children generally harbor the largest numbers. The majority of intestinal helminths do not replicate within their host, and worm burdens ...

Polynucleotide cytidine deaminases, innate immunity and hepatitis B infection

Stéphanie Jost

More than 350 millions individuals worldwide suffer from chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, a condition that evolves towards liver insufficiency and hepatocellular carcinoma in approximately 15 to 40 percent of cases. Yet the majority of de novo HB ...

Fast directed evolution of non-immunoglobulin proteins by somatic hypermutation in immune cells

Kai Johnsson, Christian Heinis

A review. New, improved phenotypes. Somatic hypermutation in immune cells can be used for the fast directed evolution of proteins other than Igs (e.g., autofluorescent proteins). The target gene is inserted into the genome of activated B lymphocytes where ...
