Abstract

A major obstacle to development of an effective AIDS vaccine is that along with the intended beneficial responses, the immunization regimen may activate CD4+ T cells that can facilitate acquisition of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) by serving as target cells for the virus. Lu et al. (W. Lu et al., Cell Rep 2:1736-1746, 2012, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2012.11.016) reported that intragastric administration of chemically inactivated simian immunodeficiency virus SIVmac239 and Lactobacillus plantarum (iSIV-L. plantarum) protected 15/16 Chinese-origin rhesus macaques (RMs) from high-dose intrarectal SIVmac239 challenge at 3 months postimmunization. They attributed the observed protection to induction of immune tolerance, mediated by "MHC-Ib/E-restricted CD8+ regulatory T cells that suppressed SIV-harboring CD4+ T cell activation and ex vivo SIV replication in 15/16 animals without inducing SIV-specific antibodies or cytotoxic T." J.-M. Andrieu et al. (Front Immunol 5:297, 2014, https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2014.00297) subsequently reported protection from infection in 23/24 RMs immunized intragastrically or intravaginally with iSIV and Mycobacterium bovis BCG, L. plantarum, or Lactobacillus rhamnosus, which they ascribed...Continue Reading

Ataxia telangiectasia (MDS)

Ataxia telangiectasia is a rare neurodegenerative diseases caused by defects in the ATM gene, which is involved in DNA damage recognition and repair pathways. Here is the latest research on this autosomal recessive disease.
