  10. Rituximab (RTX), an intravenous drug primarily known for depleting B cells, has been found to also trigger positive metabolic changes in T cells, specifically improving energy production and lowering cellular stress in patients with nephrotic syndrome who respond favorably to the treatment.

  11. It is a remarkably humbling realization that a single, unnoticed bite from an arthropod the size of an apple seed can completely rewrite an individual's relationship with the global food chain. Alpha-gal syndrome reminds us that the human immune system, for all its staggering sophistication and atomic-level precision, remains intimately and sometimes precariously tethered to the natural world.

  12. First, a paper suggesting that random-sequence mRNA vaccines enhance anti-tumor effects, and now another claiming that random, nonspecific T cells are sufficient to eliminate tumors. So much for antigen specificity.

  14. Tumor-derived antioxidants suppress immunity by depriving T cells of reactive oxygen species | Science
    Every tool is neither good nor evil in itself. It's only determined by how we use it.
    We're used to thinking of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as dangerous and harmful to cells: they directly damage DNA, causing mutations, and disrupt proteins, supporting signaling pathways that can contribute to cancer development. But even this "absolute evil" has a silver lining: ROS are found to be involved in T cell activation, thereby helping the immune system attack tumors. This paradoxical role of ROS is described in the new issue of Science. ROS oxidize certain phosphatases in T cells, shutting them down, and suppressing phosphatase activity is necessary for T cell activation.
    Remarkably, tumors have a mechanism that interferes with this pathway of T cell activation. They release the antioxidant peroxiredoxin 1 into the intercellular space, which prevents ROS from supporting T-cell activation after contact with tumor cells.

  19. When red blood cells break down, they release heme, an essential, oxygen-transporting component of hemoglobin. Once outside the red blood cell, free heme acts as a harmful agent that can trigger severe inflammatory reactions and damage tissues and blood vessels.

  22. Why are cancer vaccines so difficult to develop?

    Scientists have been working on cancer vaccines for decades and yet there are still no cancer “vaccines” approved that actually work in a meaningful sense.

  23. Researchers evaluated two experimental Zika virus vaccines to understand the roles of antibodies and T cells, discovering that long-term viral protection requires a coordinated immune response from both components rather than relying on T cells alone.

  24. First proper #immunology lecture today, felt smart for being able to hold a discussion on immunology topics with the teacher during the lecture

    INCLUDING being able to follow his trip into V(D)J recombination, which I got a hint might've melted the brains of some other students present. But I've been stuck yet defiant on this difficult topic before, so I've already plunged through that mess and was ready

  25. Researchers have discovered that the internal nucleocapsid protein (NP) of the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) can serve as a viable target for protective antibodies, offering a new pathway for therapeutics against the disease.

  30. #Anticipating the Next #Pandemic {Perspective}, N Engl J Med.: nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM

    The length of the current #interpandemic period cannot be known, but recent experience suggests that this time shouldn’t be wasted. This period offers an opportunity to expand understanding of #vaccine #immunology and to reestablish #trust and #confidence in vaccines among as many people as possible.

  31. " Instead, #Hepatoblastoma #tumors contain a large suppressive #myeloid compartment which poses opportunities for targeting. Specifically, therapeutic antibodies
    targeting the #tumor antigen #GPC3 to induce ADCP by #macrophages, in combination with myeloid
    #ImmuneCheckpointBlockade (#CD47/SIRPa, or VISTA) could be a feasible strategy to explore in future studies"
