1. Unconventional T cells in colon adenocarcinomas
Sammanfattning : Many factors influence the initiation and growth of tumours. The infiltration and activity of immune cells in the tumour microenvironment are widely recognised as key factors affecting the clinical outcome of cancer. LÄS MER
2. Bacterial Regulation of Peripheral Immunity : Mechanistic insights from lactobacilli and Staphylococcus aureus
Sammanfattning : There is a constant cross-talk between our immune system and the colonizing microbiota. The gut resident bacteria produce a broad range of molecules with regulatory activities in both local and distal tissues. Staphylococcus (S. LÄS MER
3. Regulatory T cells and mucosal-associated invariant T cells in colon adenocarcinomas; Phenotype and function
Sammanfattning : In many solid cancers, and also in colon adenocarcinomas, an increased accumulation of lymphocytes is beneficial for the patient. However, tumor-infiltrating immune cells may be either pro- or anti-tumorigenic and the balance between these two counteracting forces partly determines patient outcome. LÄS MER
4. The antimicrobial role of human MAIT cells
Sammanfattning : MAIT cells are unconventional T cells that have characteristics of both innate and adaptive immunity. Their fast mobilization and wide distribution in tissues make them part of the first line of defense against infection. MAIT cells recognize riboflavin-related metabolites produced by bacteria and presented by MR1. LÄS MER
5. Role of MAIT cells in human antimicrobial immunity
Sammanfattning : Mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are a relatively recently discovered subset of unconventional T cells. In humans, MAIT cells are predominantly CD8+CD4- (CD8+) with a smaller CD8-CD4- (double-negative, DN) subset, and they are abundant in the peripheral blood, liver, and mucosal tissues. LÄS MER
