We measured T-cell responses to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) cryptic epitopes encoded by regions of the viral genome not normally translated into viral proteins. T-cell responses to cryptic epitopes and to regions normally spliced out of the HIV-1 viral proteins Rev and Tat were detected in HIV-1-infected subjects.

() exhibits aberrant changes in patients with colitis, and it has been reported to dominate the colonic mucosal immune response. Here, we found that PMA1 expression was significantly increased in from patients with IBD compared to that in healthy controls. A Crispr-Cas9-based fungal strain editing system was then used to knock out PMA1 expression in .

A co-signaling receptor, 2B4, has dual effects in immune cells, but its actual functions in T cells remain elusive. Here, using super-resolution imaging technology with an immunological synapse model, we showed that 2B4 forms "2B4 microclusters" immediately after 2B4-CD48 binding. A lipid phosphatase, SHIP-1, subsequently combined with 2B4 to form coinhibitory signalosomes, leading to the suppression of cytokine production.

γδ T cells play protective roles in tuberculosis (TB). Our work demonstrated the therapeutic potential of allogeneic Vγ9Vδ2 T cells in TB patients. However, their functions in TB require further comprehensive evaluation.

Objective: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) that block the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) pathway have shown promise with limited benefit. We and others have shown in small patient cohorts that an early proliferative CD8 T-cell response in the blood may be predictive of clinical response. However, these studies lack detailed analyses and comparisons between monotherapy and combination therapies.

Introduction: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) expressing T-cells have shown great promise for the future of cancer immunotherapy with the recent clinical successes achieved in treating different hematologic cancers. Despite these early successes, several challenges remain in the field that require to be solved for the therapy to be more efficacious. One such challenge is the lack of long-term persistence of CD28 based CAR T-cells in patients.
