One of the basic approaches which provides for the increase of immunological safety of hemocomponental therapy is the use of donor-recipient histocompatible blood. The decisive factor in the organism's individuality is HLA-antigen system. Antigen incompatibility of donor's and recipient's tissues in HLA-antigen causes the development of delayed hypersensitivity and sensibilization of the recipient, which provoke a number of complications and posttransfusion reactions. Histocompatibility is the key problem for modern transfusiology and transplantology.

Cancer immunotherapies rely on CD8 cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTLs) in recognition and eradication of tumor cells via antigens presented on major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules. However, we observe MHC-I deficiency in human and murine urologic tumors, posing daunting challenges for successful immunotherapy. We herein report an unprecedented nanosonosensitizer of one-dimensional bamboo-like multisegmented manganese dioxide@manganese-bismuth vanadate (BMMBV) to boost multiple branches of immune responses targeting MHC-I-deficient tumors.

This study aimed to investigate sex-dependent differences in a mouse model of caerulein-induced AP. Thirty-six C57BL/6J mice (19 females and 17 males) were treated intraperitoneally with phosphate-buffered saline or caerulein, and sacrificed 12 hours, 2 days, or 7 days after the last injection.

SARS-CoV-2 specific "memory" NK cells obtained from convalescent donors can be used as cell immunotherapy. In 2022 a phase I, dose-escalation, single center clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the infusion of CD3/CD56 NK cells against moderate/severe cases of COVID-19 (NCT04578210).

Yet, quantifying the dynamic activity of MHC class I and II antigen presentation remains a critical challenge, particularly in diseases like cancer, infection and autoimmunity where these pathways are often disrupted. Current methods fall short in providing precise, sample-specific insights into antigen presentation, limiting our understanding of immune evasion and therapeutic responses.

Background: Neuroblastoma, a prevalent extracranial solid tumor in pediatric patients, demonstrates significant clinical heterogeneity, ranging from spontaneous regression to aggressive metastatic disease. Despite advances in treatment, high-risk neuroblastoma remains associated with poor survival. SLC1A5, a key glutamine transporter, plays a dual role in promoting tumor growth and immune modulation.
