    A paucigranulocytic asthma host environment promotes the emergence of virulent influenza viral variants

    Katina D Hulme, Anjana C Karawita ... Kirsty R Short
    Patients with paucigranulocytic asthma may be more susceptible to severe influenza and could potentially be source of new, more virulent, influenza virus variants.

    Development of antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity function in HIV-1 antibodies

    Laura E Doepker, Sonja Danon ... Julie M Overbaugh
    HIV-specific antibodies that mediate antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity vary in their paths to achieve function but commonly rely on mutations in multiple regions, including framework regions, to reach full potency.

    The clonal structure and dynamics of the human T cell response to an organic chemical hapten

    Tahel Ronel, Matthew Harries ... Benny Chain
    Chronic exposure to a potent chemical contact sensitizer drives a self-limiting expansion of a polyclonal population of T cells recognizing a small number of dominant antigens.

    Tissue-autonomous immune response regulates stress signaling during hypertrophy

    Robert Krautz, Dilan Khalili, Ulrich Theopold
    The immune effector Drosomycin buffers stress signaling in hypertrophic salivary glands to inhibit their disintegration, detection by the cellular immune response, and promotes further overgrowth.

    Gut Helicobacter presentation by multiple dendritic cell subsets enables context-specific regulatory T cell generation

    Emilie V Russler-Germain, Jaeu Yi ... Chyi-Song Hsieh
    In vitro and in vivo studies show that multiple dendritic cell subsets are capable of presenting gut Helicobacter antigens to induce regulatory T cells.

    Induction of the IL-1RII decoy receptor by NFAT/FOXP3 blocks IL-1β-dependent response of Th17 cells

    Dong Hyun Kim, Hee Young Kim ... Won-Woo Lee
    Cellular immunological and biochemical analyses reveal how decoy IL-1RII is induced by human CD4+ T cells upon TCR-stimulation and regulates the Th17-Treg balance by modulating IL-1β responsiveness in IL-1RI+ cells.

    Cytokine ranking via mutual information algorithm correlates cytokine profiles with presenting disease severity in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2

    Kelsey E Huntington, Anna D Louie ... Wafik S El-Deiry
    A mutual information algorithm points to macrophage activation syndrome as a specific pathogenic mechanism in COVID-19, correlated with disease severity, which could be used to monitor disease and therapeutics.

    Peripheral natural killer cells in chronic hepatitis B patients display multiple molecular features of T cell exhaustion

    Marie Marotel, Marine Villard ... Antoine Marçais
    Similar to T cell exhaustion, natural killer cell dysfunction in chronic hepatitis B patients results from deregulated calcium pathway.

    Early life imprints the hierarchy of T cell clone sizes

    Mario U Gaimann, Maximilian Nguyen ... Andreas Mayer
    The rapid development of immune memory in infancy shapes the composition of T cell defenses throughout the human lifespan.

    Stochastic asymmetric repartition of lytic machinery in dividing CD8+ T cells generates heterogeneous killing behavior

    Fanny Lafouresse, Romain Jugele ... Salvatore Valitutti
    A fraction of human CD8+ T cells unequally partitions their lytic components during division, producing cells with heterogeneous killing capacities.
