Characterization of Binding of LILRA3 and LILRB2 to the Myelin-Associated Inhibitors and Major Histocompatibility Class I Molecules
DownloadFall 2018
The leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor family (LILR) is composed of inhibitory and activating receptors that are widely expressed on immune cells and interact with classical and non-classical MHC-I. Recently, several ligands have been identified for the LILRs including the three...

Fall 2024
The stochastic diversification of the T cell receptor (TCR) carries with it both the potential for recognizing virtually infinite foreign peptides, but also the potential for the erroneous recognition of self-peptides, which represents a threat of autoimmunity. During development in the thymus, T...

The adaptive immune response against intracellular pathogens is largely mediated by CD8+ T lymphocytes. The clonal expansion and expression of cytolytic and immune stimulatory proteins by CD8+ T cells is responsible for their protective immune function. Prior to exhibiting effector activity,...

Neutrophils promote T cell activation in HIV infection through the regulated release of CD44 bound, cell surface Galectin-9
DownloadSpring 2021
Neutrophils are the most abundant leukocyte in the human immune system constituting 50-80% of all white blood cells in the peripheral blood. Neutrophils are potent source of protective immune responses through the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), extracellular trap formation, cytokine...

T cell development is a highly dynamic process driven by interactions between developing hematopoietic progenitor cells and numerous cell types that nurture their development. Ultimately, signals detected by developing progenitors lead to the activation of cellular signaling pathways that...
