    Variations in HLA-B cell surface expression, half-life and extracellular antigen receptivity

    Brogan Yarzabek, Anita J Zaitouna ... Malini Raghavan
    Lymphocytes and monocytes maintain their cell surface HLA-B via different mechanisms, which in turn differently influence cell-surface expression, half-life and peptide receptivity of HLA-B allotypes.

    ZFP36 RNA-binding proteins restrain T cell activation and anti-viral immunity

    Michael J Moore, Nathalie E Blachere ... Robert B Darnell
    By attenuating the translation of key mRNA targets, ZFP36 RNA binding proteins restrain the expansion and effector activity of T cells.

    Long-term antigen exposure irreversibly modifies metabolic requirements for T cell function

    Marie Bettonville, Stefania d'Aria ... Michel Y Braun
    Long-term exposure to recipient's alloantigens promotes major metabolic defects in T cells that are independent of PD-1-mediated regulation.

    NK cells inhibit Plasmodium falciparum growth in red blood cells via antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity

    Gunjan Arora, Geoffrey T Hart ... Eric O Long
    Red blood cells infected by the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum are destroyed by human natural killer cells in the presence of antibodies from people who have acquired clinical immunity to malaria.

    Plasmacytoid dendritic cells control dengue and Chikungunya virus infections via IRF7-regulated interferon responses

    Brian Webster, Scott W Werneke ... Marlène Dreux
    In vivo study of arbovirus infections reveals the dominant role of pDC IRF7-signaling in directing both type I and II IFN responses, and leading to viral control.

    Tumor-derived CSF-1 induces the NKG2D ligand RAE-1δ on tumor-infiltrating macrophages

    Thornton W Thompson, Benjamin T Jackson ... David H Raulet
    Macrophages respond to elevated levels of CSF-1 in tumor micro-environments by expressing a ligand for the NKG2D immunoreceptor.

    Empty conformers of HLA-B preferentially bind CD8 and regulate CD8+ T cell function

    Jie Geng, John D Altman ... Malini Raghavan
    HLA-B*35:01 molecules that are peptide-deficient are thermostable, bind CD8 with higher affinity than their peptide-filled versions, accumulate at immunological synapses and enhance antigen-specific CD8+ T cell immune responses.

    Spatio-temporal regulation of concurrent developmental processes by generic signaling downstream of chemokine receptors

    Divyanshu Malhotra, Jimann Shin ... Erez Raz
    A new form of chemokine signaling bias that depends on cell state is identified.

    Chemokines: The cell sets the tone

    Jonna Alanko, Michael Sixt
    In zebrafish larvae, it is the cell type that determines how the cell responds to a chemokine signal.

    mTORC1 and mTORC2 differentially promote natural killer cell development

    Chao Yang, Shirng-Wern Tsaih ... Subramaniam Malarkannan
    mTORC1 and mTORC2 play a central role in the development of natural killer (NK) cells.
