Follicular dendritic cells and macrophages have been strongly implicated in presentation of native Ag to B cells. This property has also occasionally been attributed to conventional dendritic cells (cDC) but is generally masked by their essential role in T cell priming. cDC can be divided into two main subsets, cDC1 and cDC2, with recent evidence suggesting that cDC2 are primarily responsible for initiating B cell and T follicular helper responses. This conclusion is, however, at odds with evidence that targeting Ag to Clec9A (DNGR1), expressed by cDC1, induces strong humoral responses. In this study, we reveal that murine cDC1 interact extensively with B cells at the border of B cell follicles and, when Ag is targeted to Clec9A, can display native Ag for B cell activation. This leads to efficient induction of humoral immunity. Our findings indicate that surface display of native Ag on cDC with access to both T and B cells is key to efficient humoral vaccination.

Isotopic variability of the invasive blue crab Callinectes sapidus in the Gulf of Cadiz: Impacts and implications for coastal ecosystem management.

The variability in trophic position and carbon isotopic signatures can provide information about their dietary flexibility and its ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions. The impact of the invasive blue crab Callinectes sapidus was assessed by estimating its trophic position and isotopic niche using stable isotopes (δ³C, δ⁵N, δ³⁴S) across different invaded Atlantic coastal areas. This study, the first of its kind in the eastern Atlantic range, reveals the crab's omnivorous behavior with a wide trophic position (TP = 2-4), consistent with findings from its native range.

Numerous reports have indicated that the type 3 resistant starch (RS3) derived from can regulate lipid metabolism. However, it remains unclear whether the type 5 resistant starch (RS5) exhibits similar effects. In this study, RS5 was prepared from native starch and lauric acid through a hydrothermal method for the first time, and its nutritional intervention effects on hyperlipidemia in mice were investigated.

Interfacial properties significantly influence emulsifying and foaming stability. We here explore the interfacial behavior of egg yolk granules (EYGs) combined with various Span emulsifiers (Span 20, 40, 60, 80) to assess their solution properties, interface dynamics, and effects on emulsifying and foaming stability. The results unveiled that as the Span concentration increased, particle size decreased from 7028 to 1200 nm, absolute zeta potential increased from 4.

Divergence in the activity of biotransformation pathways could lead to species sensitivity differences to chemical stress. To explore this hypothesis, we evaluated the biotransformation capacity of five fish species representative of Swiss biodiversity assemblages across watercourses surrounded by different land use. We report interspecific differences regarding the presence and activity of major biotransformation pathways, such as the invasive pumpinkseed (Lepomis gibbosus) displaying micropollutant clearance between 3- and 7-fold higher than native species (e.

Background: Children allergic to milk and egg, but tolerant to baked products, display higher reactivity thresholds than the general population of children allergic to milk and egg. We sought to verify the reactivity thresholds of milk- and egg-allergic children who also react to baked milk and baked egg, respectively.
Methods: We retrospectively assessed consecutive oral food challenge (OFC) for baked milk and egg between January 2018 and March 2022 in a population of baked milk- and baked-egg allergic children.
