Costimulatory and coinhibitory mechanisms appear to be involved throughout immune responses to control their specificity and level. Many mechanisms operate; therefore, various theoretical models should be considered complementary rather than competing. One such coinhibitory model, pictured in 1971, involves the crosslinking of antigen receptors with inhibitory Fc receptors by antigen/antibody complexes.

Article Synopsis
- A new method to study the optical near-field properties of plasmonic nanotriangles is introduced, which is fast, efficient, and doesn't damage the samples.
- This method involves using a rectangular Fourier filter to focus on near-field contributions by removing far-field effects, allowing a clearer analysis of optical images.
- The technique shows good alignment with numerical simulations, highlighting areas of high optical intensity (hot spots) at the apexes of the nanostructures, and is applicable to various samples with minimal equipment needed.
Exploring the Factors Considered by People Living with HIV and Their Partners during Preconception.
