  1. Notable observation:

    chow-fed mice showed an increase in T cells specific for corn-derived zein, but surprisingly, the same was not observed when mice were fed purified zein. Then the typical scientific investigation began.

  2. Scientists just won't give up searching for the needle in the haystack. That's what cancer neoantigen-specific T-cell discovery feels like. New paper by none other than Ton Schumacher, quite literally the Schumacher of this field.

  23. Celiacase is a molecularly engineered enzyme designed to break down toxic gluten immunogenic peptides (GIPs) in the stomach before they can reach the small intestine and trigger an autoimmune response.

  24. Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disorder driven by gluten, and its development is not causally linked to prior antibiotic treatment. A comprehensive nationwide study demonstrates that while celiac patients may have a history of higher antibiotic use, the medication itself does not trigger the disease.

  34. So. How about this careful result demonstrating viral replication inside megakaryocyte immune cells?

    transmission electron microscopy pointed to the presence of viral particles inside bone marrow MK. Immunolabeling confirmed the presence of two SARS-CoV-2 proteins, spike and Orf3a, as well as double-stranded RNA suggesting a potential viral replication cycle.

    Note this study is from last month, but it's from hospitalized 2020-2021 patient data. It's existence proof, not population statistics.

    That said:

    bone marrow MK infection is not a strict determinant of mortality. However, all survivors experienced post-acute sequelae SARS-CoV-2 condition (PASC) diagnosed during post-intensive care follow-up

  35. AJ's got a new blog post! Some highlights:
    "a Nature Immunology study from January 2024 "Long COVID manifests with T cell dysregulation, inflammation and an uncoordinated adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2" reveals further harm through T cell dysregulation in long COVID patients. The research identified increased frequencies of exhausted SARS-CoV-2-specific CD8+ T cells, alongside CD4+ T cells primed for inflammation, and a lack of coordination between T and B cell responses."
    "a paper in JCI insight showing T cell exhaustion to other infections following a covid infection"
    "a Nature Immunology study from January 2022 "Immunological dysfunction persists for 8 months following initial mild-to-moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection" shows that COVID-19 leads to a prolonged reduction in naive T cells (both CD4+ and CD8+) in individuals with long COVID, persisting up to eight months post-infection."
    "Such a long-term impact on the naive T cell pool is not a standard feature of recovery from other acute viral infections like influenza, [...] This effect may not completely persist, however, what it represents is sloughing of the T cells."
    A study published in Immunity found "Even after vaccination, those with a history of COVID-19 showed weaker and less functional CD8+ T cell responses, a phenomenon likened to the immune damage seen in chronic viral infections like hepatitis C or HIV. This attenuation indicates that SARS-CoV-2 inflicts a lasting impairment on CD8+ T cell effector function"

  36. Someone on YouTube comments asked me what I thought was in cucurbits (squash/melon family veg) that I react to. I had mentioned previously that Corn Allergy Girl (author of now defunct blog of same name) also reacts to most cucurbits (except cucumber). Here's my response, in case anyone has any input:

    " I wish I knew. I'm not even sure if the reaction is due to cross-reactivity with corn allergen or if it is due to mast cell activation syndrome. To complicate things further, Corn Allergy Girl has questioned whether corn allergy is due entirely to reaction with the corn protein zein or if people also react to carbohydrate epitopes (bits of the molecule that makes a pattern that is recognized by the immune system) and I think it might be a possibility. So the reaction to cucurbits might be due to cross-reactivity with a similar carbohydrate found in corn. Humans have antibodies to carbohydrate epitopes (called cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants (CCD)), but they are not supposed to cause allergic reactions and allergy tests are designed to ignore these antibodies. I have wondered what would happen if something went wrong in whatever mechanisms the body uses to ignore CCD antibodies. According to one paper*, 'The role of CCDs and their specific IgE antibodies in the pathophysiology of allergic diseases is controversial. ' "
