Abstract

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G, a nonclassical HLA class I molecule, induces a wide range of tolerogenic immunological effects by means of interaction with its inhibitory receptors. However, recent studies show that HLA-G dimer formation is essential to bind to its receptors and exhibit its effects. In this study, a soluble divalent HLA-G/IgG molecule (sHLA-G dimer) was constructed. Its inhibitory effect on T-cell alloresponse was studied with mixed lymphocyte reaction in vitro, which was set up by mixing inactivated T1 cells with HLA-mismatched peripheral blood lymphocytes in the presence or absence of the sHLA-G dimer. The results show that sHLA-G dimer inhibits T-cell alloresponse by reducing proliferation of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and suppressing generation of alloreactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes at nanomole concentration. The inhibition of the sHLA-G dimer is observed to be more effective than that of sHLA-G monomer. Our results also indicate that sHLA-G dimer up-regulates inhibitory receptor ILT2 on alloreactive CD8+ T cells, which contributes to the significant inhibition on T-cell alloresponse. The sHLA-G dimer formed by IgG-Fc fragment shows more inhibitory effects on alloreactive T cells, which may have implicati...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
