We developed this whole blood immunophenotyping panel with the aim to monitor and quantify major lymphocyte subsets (CD4, CD8, CD4CD8 αβ T cells, γδ-T cells, B and NK cells) and monocytes in pigs. The panel involved the use of commercially available reagents, avoiding secondary antibody staining or in-house antibody conjugations, with the aim to make the assay accessible and reproducible across laboratories. The assay is accurate, robust and represents a useful tool for immune monitoring of swine in the pharmacology and toxicology fields, or to monitor the immune status in response to vaccination and diseases.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is the deadliest infectious disease worldwide and novel vaccines are urgently needed. HLA-E is a virtually monomorphic antigen presentation molecule and is not downregulated upon HIV co-infection. HLA-E restricted specific CD8 T cells are present in the circulation of individuals with active TB (aTB) and infection (TBI) with or without HIV co-infection, making HLA-E restricted T cells interesting vaccination targets for TB.

Unlabelled: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a human herpes virus with a worldwide seroprevalence of 60-100%, mainly known to cause severe life-threatening disease in immunocompromised patients. In immunocompetent hosts (IMCh), CMV causes a self-limiting mononucleosis-like infection, and severe pictures are less recognized. We report a case of a previously healthy 62-year-old woman evaluated in the Internal Medicine outpatient clinic for 3 weeks of progressive fatigue, generalised inflammatory arthralgias, hypogastric discomfort and daily persistent fever.

Background: Familial Mediterranean Fever is a common genetic autoinflammatory disease prevalent in the Mediterranean region. The clinical course of the disease is characterized by fever and serositis attacks. While defects in the innate immune system are known to play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease, the impact of the adaptive immune system remains unclear.

Background: The microbiota-immune-brain axis is implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Alterations in gut microbiota and immune functions in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are inconsistent and remain to be understood. This study aims to investigate immune cell phenotyping and its link with gut microbial composition associated with cognitive function.

Background: Mounting evidence indicates that the accumulation of amyloid in AD starts 20 to 30 years before clinically detectable cognitive impairment is observed, suggesting the presence of a long period of asymptomatic AD. Although the specific onset of this preclinical period is difficult to target, it is potentially significant to identify subjects in this asymptomatic preclinical stage of the disease. This is because newly developed disease modifying treatments may have increased effectiveness if begun during this asymptomatic period.
