Programmed cell death receptor 1 (PD-1), when bound to the ligand programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), can suppress cellular immunity and play a critical role in the initiation and development of cancer. Immune drugs targeting these two sites have been developed for different cancers, including malignant melanoma. The accompanying diagnostic method has been approved by the FDA to guide patient medication.

Problem: There is a higher incidence of irritable bowel syndrome with miscarriages, and recurrent miscarriages of otherwise normal embryos have been linked to subnormal expression of the immune checkpoint inhibitor CD200L. We sought to determine if alterations in the expression of the CD200 immune checkpoint inhibitor occur in colonic tissue in IBS-D patients.

Method Of Study: Quantitative immunohistochemical staining of biopsies from proximal and distal colon or rectum for the inhibitory CD200L and CD200S molecules was done.

Breast cancer (BC) with average human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) signals/cell ≥6 and HER2/chromosome enumeration probe 17 (CEP17) ratio <2 (in situ hybridization [ISH] group 3) is very rare, accounting for 0.4% to 3.0% of cases sent for the dual-probe ISH assay.

Objectives: The current work aimed to provide a comprehensive single-cell landscape of lupus nephritis (LN) kidneys, including immune and non-immune cells, identify disease-associated cell populations and unravel their participation within the kidney microenvironment.

Methods: Single-cell RNA and T cell receptor sequencing were performed on renal biopsy tissues from 40 patients with LN and 6 healthy donors as controls. Matched peripheral blood samples from seven LN patients were also sequenced.

Purpose: To examine whether CD8+ T-cell numbers in paired tumor biopsies in early-stage clinical trials can be used as an early indicator of clinical benefit for cancer immunotherapies.

Experimental Design: Paraffin sections of tumor biopsies were stained immunohistochemically for CD8+ T cells, which were digitally enumerated. The tumor biopsies were from cancer patients in early-phase trials testing novel immunotherapeutic agents.
