  7. This #firstreadfriday we have a guest blog from Claire Walker at #univesityoflincoln on why our bodies cannot always tell the difference between parasite and food.

    As someone whose body seems to get confused about why I would want to eat and enjoy all kinds of food, understanding more about intolerance and allergy is always so helpful.

    Thank you Claire for writing this one.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  15. 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.

  20. 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.

  24. 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.

  25. 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

  26. 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.

  28. Strictly speaking, calling Modernaโ€™s mRNA cancer neoantigen vaccines โ€œpersonalizedโ€ is an immunological oxymoron when they are combined with a PD-1 inhibitor like Keytruda which broadly removes inhibitory brakes on T cells.

    Scientists used #antibodies from his blood to create an experimental #antivenom that protected #mice from 13 types of snake venom. The work could lead to a single broad-spectrum antivenom.
