Abstract

Virus-specific CD8+ T cells play a central role in the outcome of several viral infections, including hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. A key feature of virus-specific CD8+ T cells is the development of memory. The mechanisms resulting in the establishment of T-cell memory are still only poorly understood. It has been suggested that T-cell memory may depend on the survival of virus-specific CD8+ T cells in the contraction phase. Indeed, a population of effector cells that express high levels of the interleukin-7 receptor alpha chain (CD127) as the precursors of memory CD8+ T cells has recently been identified in mice. However, very little information is currently available about the kinetics of CD127 expression in an acute resolving viral infection in humans and its association with disease pathogenesis, viral load, and functional and phenotypical T-cell characteristics. To address these important issues, we analyzed the HBV-specific CD8+ T-cell response longitudinally in a cohort of six patients with acute HBV infection who spontaneously cleared the virus. We observed the emergence of CD127 expression on antigen-specific CD8+ memory T cells during the course of infection. Importantly, the up-regulation of CD127 correlated phe...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.
