Particles of colloidal gold of different diameters (15 nm and 40) have been used to distinctively label different surface antigens expressed on the surface of human peripheral blood B and T lymphocytes. Silver enhancement has been used to facilitate the observation of the gold particles. Observations were carried out in the backscattered electron imaging mode of the scanning electron microscope. Two different methods have been compared: in Method I the two antigens have been identified by monoclonal antibodies of different classes (IgG and IgM); in Method II monoclonal antibodies of the same subclass were used but the ligands were different (goat anti-murine Ig versus biotin/streptavidin). Some cross-reactivity was observed with Method I, but not with Method II.

Rapid change in red cell blood group systems after the main Out of Africa of Homo sapiens.

Despite the advances in paleogenomics, red cell blood group systems in ancient human populations remain scarcely known. Pioneer attempts showed that Neandertal and Denisova, two archaic hominid populations inhabiting Eurasia, expressed blood groups currently found in sub-Saharans and a rare "rhesus", part of which is found in Oceanians. Herein we fully pictured the blood group genetic diversity of 22 Homo sapiens and 14 Neandertals from Eurasia living between 120,000 and 20,000 years before present (yBP).

Background: Chordoma is a slow-growing, primary malignant bone tumor that arises from notochordal tissue in the midline of the axial skeleton. Surgical excision with negative margins is the mainstay of treatment, but high local recurrence rates are reported even with negative margins. High-dose radiation therapy (RT), such as with proton or carbon ions, has been used as an alternative to surgery, but late local failure remains a problem.

Background: More efficient therapeutic options for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are needed as the survival at 5 years of metastatic disease is near zero. In this regard, we used a preclinical model of metastatic lung adenocarcinoma (SV2-OVA) to assess the safety and efficacy of novel radio-immunotherapy combining hypofractionated radiotherapy (HRT) with muPD1-IL2v immunocytokine and muFAP-CD40 bispecific antibody.
Methods: We evaluated the changes in the lung immune microenvironment at multiple timepoints following combination therapies and investigated their underlying antitumor mechanisms.

Influenza virus infects millions each year, contributing greatly to human morbidity and mortality. Upon viral infection, pathogen-associated molecular patterns activate pattern recognition receptors on host cells, triggering an immune response. The CD209 protein family, homologs of DC-SIGN (dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule 3-grabbing nonintegrin), is thought to modulate immune responses to viruses.

Human astroviruses (HAstVs) are a leading cause of viral childhood diarrhea that infects nearly every individual during their lifetime. Although human astroviruses are highly prevalent, no approved vaccine currently exists. Antibody responses appear to play an important role in protection from HAstV infection; however, knowledge about the neutralizing epitope landscape is lacking, as only three neutralizing antibody epitopes have previously been determined.
