Article Abstract
Sensitization and challenge using DNFB induce contact hypersensitivity (CHS) with predominant type 1 helper (Th1) cell infiltration, whereas those using FITC generate CHS with Th2 cell infiltration. CHS results from inflammatory cell infiltration, a process that is highly regulated by the expression of multiple adhesion molecules. We attempted to determine the role of L-selectin and ICAM-1 in Th1- and Th2-type CHS induced by DNFB or FITC in mice lacking either L-selectin, ICAM-1, or both. Th1-type CHS induced by DNFB was inhibited by L-selectin and/or ICAM-1 deficiency, which was associated with reduced IFN-gamma expression. Similarly, Th2-type CHS induced by FITC was inhibited by L-selectin deficiency. However, Th2-type CHS was increased by ICAM-1 deficiency and accompanied by increased Th2 cytokine expression. Infiltration of in vitro-generated Th1 cells into the FITC-challenged skin decreased in ICAM-1-deficient mice, whereas in vitro-generated Th2 cell infiltration increased, suggesting that ICAM-1 mediates Th1 cell migration and that in the absence of ICAM-1, Th1 cell recruitment decreased, whereas relative Th2 cell migration increased. These results suggest that ICAM-1 mediates Th1 cell recruitment irrespective of DNFB or FITC and that L-selectin recruits Th1 cells in Th1-type CHS, whereas it recruits Th2 cells in Th2-type CHS.

The aim of this study was to compare the immune responses of C57BL/6 mice immunized with two pathogens, foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) and Senecavirus A (SVA), and to provide clues for revealing the regulatory mechanisms of acquired immunity. Inactivated and purified FMDV and SVA antigens were used to immunize C57BL/6 mice respectively, and the mice immunized with PBS were taken as the control. The percentages of Th1 and Th2 cells in the spleen lymphocytes of mice in each group were analyzed by flow cytometry at 14 and 28 days after immunization.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Diabetic ulcer is a serious diabetes complication and a primary reason for amputations. For many years, the San Huang Xiao Yan (SHXY) recipe has served as a conventional remedy for these ulcers, effectively reducing inflammatory factors and exhibiting considerable therapeutic efficacy. However, the precise mechanism remains incompletely understood.

Interleukin-10 (IL-10)-producing group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) regulate inflammatory immune responses, yet their therapeutic potential remains largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that cell therapy with human ILC2 inhibits pathogenic T cell responses in humanized mouse models of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), resulting in reduced GVHD severity and improved overall survival without limiting the graft-versus-leukemia effect. ILC2 conferred superior protection from GVHD than IL-10 ILC2s, and blocking IL-10 and IL-4 abrogated ILC2 protective effects, indicating that these cytokines are important for the protective effects of ILC2.

The functional specialization of CD4 T lymphocytes into various subtypes, including T1 and T cells, is crucial for effective immune responses. T cells facilitate B cell differentiation within germinal centers, while T1 cells are vital for cell-mediated immunity against intracellular pathogens. Integrin α4, a cell surface adhesion molecule, plays significant roles in cell migration and co-stimulatory signaling.

Background: Previous studies primarily focused on the effects of ALT and virology, but there is a lack of research on the correlations of HBcrAg and pgRNA, two novel virologic markers, with immunological parameters in pregnant women with CHB undergoing prophylactic antiviral intervention.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving 28 HBeAg-positive pregnant women with CHB undergoing prophylactic antiviral intervention. Clinical data, virological markers (HBV DNA, HBsAg, HBeAg, HBcrAg and pgRNA) and 28 cytokines were detected at three time points: 24-28 weeks gestation (before prophylactic antiviral intervention), near birth and within 3 months postpartum.
