We analyzed herein whether members of the tetraspanin superfamily are involved in human immature dendritic cell (DC) functions such as foreign antigen internalization, phagocytosis, and cell migration. We show that CD63, CD9, CD81, CD82, and CD151 are present in immature DCs. Whereas CD9 and CD81 are mostly expressed at the cell surface, CD63 and CD82 are also located in intracellular organelles. Complexes of monoclonal antibody (Mab) FC-5.01-CD63 or Fab-5.01-CD63 were rapidly translocated "outside-in" and followed the endocytic pathway through early endosomes and lysosomes, reaching major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-enriched compartments (MIICs) in less than one hour. Internalization of CD63 was also observed during Saccharomyces cerevisiae phagocytosis. Moreover, an association of CD63 with the beta-glycan receptor dectin-1 was observed. Mabs against CD9, CD63, CD81, and CD82 enhanced by 50% the migration induced by the chemokines macrophage inflammatory protein-5 (MIP-5) and MIP-1alpha. Concomitantly, Mabs against CD63 and CD82 diminished the surface expression of CD29, CD11b, CD18, and alpha5 integrins. By immunoprecipitation experiments we found that CD63 associated with integrins CD11b and CD18. These results suggest that CD9, CD63, CD81, and CD82 could play a role in modulating the interactions between immature DCs and their environment, slowing their migratory ability. However, only CD63 would intervene in the internalization of complex antigens.

Introduction: Placental-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano-organelles that facilitate intercellular communication between the feto-placental unit and the mother. We evaluated a novel Multiple Microarray analyzer for identifying surface markers on plasma EVs that predict preterm delivery and preeclampsia compared to term delivery controls.
Material And Methods: In this prospective exploratory cohort study pregnant women between 24 and 40 gestational weeks with preterm delivery (n = 16), preeclampsia (n = 19), and matched term delivery controls (n = 15) were recruited from Bnai Zion Medical Center, Haifa, Israel.

Article Synopsis
- * The study found no significant differences in the size or concentration of serum EVs between healthy and infected dogs, but a higher number of proteins from Canis lupus were detected in infected dogs, with 211 proteins identified across both groups.
- * Specific proteins related to the immune response and cellular processes were enriched in EVs from infected dogs, suggesting that these EVs play a role in the disease's progression and immune response mechanisms.
CD81 and CD82 expressing tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in the NSCLC tumor microenvironment play a crucial role in T-cell activation and cytokine production.

Introduction: To understand the immune system within the tumor microenvironment (TME) of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), it is crucial to elucidate the characteristics of molecules associated with T cell activation.
Methods: We conducted an in-depth analysis using single-cell RNA sequencing data obtained from tissue samples of 19 NSCLC patients. T cells were classified based on the Tumor Proportion Score (TPS) within the tumor region, and molecular markers associated with activation and exhaustion were analyzed in T cells from high TPS areas.
HTLV-1 biofilm polarization maintained by tetraspanin CD82 is required for efficient viral transmission.

In the early stages of infection, human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) dissemination within its host is believed to rely mostly on cell-to-cell contacts. Past studies unveiled a novel mechanism of HTLV-1 intercellular transmission based on the remodeling of the host-cell extracellular matrix and the generation of cell-surface viral assemblies whose structure, composition, and function resemble bacterial biofilms. These polarized aggregates of infectious virions, identified as viral biofilms, allow the bulk delivery of viruses to target cells and may help to protect virions from immune attacks.

Signal peptide peptidase-like 2a and b (SPPL2a/b) are aspartyl intramembrane proteases and cleave tail-anchored proteins as well as N-terminal fragments (NTFs) derived from type II-oriented transmembrane proteins. How these proteases recruit substrates and cleavage is regulated, is still incompletely understood. We found that SPPL2a/b localize to detergent-resistant membrane (DRM) domains with the characteristics of tetraspanin-enriched microdomains (TEMs).
