The repertoire of Abs is generated by genomic rearrangements during B cell differentiation. Although V(D)J rearrangements lead to repertoires mostly different between individuals, recent studies have shown that they contain a substantial fraction of overrepresented and shared "public" clones. We previously reported a strong public IgHμ clonotypic response against the rhabdovirus viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus in a teleost fish. In this study, we identified an IgL chain associated with this public response that allowed us to characterize its functionality. We show that this public Ab response has a potent neutralizing capacity that is typically associated with host protection during rhabdovirus infections. We also demonstrate that the public response is not restricted to a particular trout isogenic line but expressed in multiple genetic backgrounds and may be used as a marker of successful vaccination. Our work reveals that public B cell responses producing generic Abs constitute a mechanism of protection against infection conserved across vertebrates.

Background: Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the first-line therapeutic option for patients with intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Tumor neovascularization allows tumor growth and may facilitate the release of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) to the bloodstream after TACE. We investigated the relationship between early release of CTCs and radiological response after TACE.

Extracellular vesicle surface engineering with integrins (ITGAL & ITGB2) to specifically target ICAM-1-expressing endothelial cells.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are taken up by most cells, however specific or preferential cell targeting remains a hurdle. This study aims to develop an EV that targets cells involved in inflammation, specifically those expressing intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). To target these cells, we overexpress the ICAM-1 binding receptor "lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1" (LFA-1) in HEK293F cells, by sequential transfection of plasmids of the two LFA-1 subunits, ITGAL and ITGB2 (CD11a and CD18).

Background: Both oxidative stress and autoimmune responses play crucial roles in the development of vitiligo. Under oxidative stress, the apoptotic melanocytes expose self-antigens and release high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), triggering autoimmune activation and recruiting CD8 T cells. This process further leads to the destruction of melanocytes, resulting in the lack of melanin granules.
