Prophylactic use of recombinant ADAMTS-13 during pregnancy for congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura by Éloïse Colliou, Agnès Ribes, Clotilde Gaible, Mathilde Marlas, David Ribes, Isabelle Labadens, Paul Guerby, Stanislas Faguer

“…No flare-up of cTTP occurred during the pregnancy, and rADAMTS-13 was tolerated well. No anti–ADAMTS-13 antibodies developed. Conclusion: Prophylactic use of rADAMTS-13 during pregnancy may prevent relapse of cTTP and reduce the risk of fetal loss, but an optimal regimen requires further attention.…”

Interferon-γ production in response to the cytotoxic T lymphocyte epitope within an antigen incorporated in simian virus 40 virus-like particles by Takeharu Watanabe, Masayuki Hayashi, Masaaki Arai, Sho Matsushita, Hiroshi Handa, Masaaki Kawano

“…In a previous study, we showed that administration of antigen-incorporated virus-like particles (VLPs) derived from simian virus 40 (SV40) induces production of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL), as well as antibodies against the incorporated antigen(s), without the need for an adjuvant; however, it remains unclear how immune cells recognize and respond to the SV40 capsid because SV40 VLPs did not upregulate expression of maturation markers on dendritic cells. …”

Regulatory T Cells in Autoimmune and Viral Chronic Hepatitis by Pascal Lapierre, Alain Lamarre

“…With the recent advent of monoclonal antibodies able to target regulatory T cells (daclizumab) and improve immune responses and several ongoing clinical trials analysing the impact of regulatory T cell infusion on autoimmune liver disease or liver transplant tolerance, modulation of immunological tolerance through CD4+ regulatory T cells could be a key element of future immunotherapies for several liver diseases allowing restoring the balance between proper immune responses and tolerance.…”

Immune System in the Brain: A Modulatory Role on Dendritic Spine Morphophysiology? by Oscar Kurt Bitzer-Quintero, Ignacio González-Burgos

“…The brain parenchyma is separated from the periphery by the blood brain barrier, which under normal conditions prevents the entry of mediators such as activated leukocytes, antibodies, complement factors, and cytokines. The myeloid cell lineage plays a crucial role in the development of immune responses at the central level, and it comprises two main subtypes: (1) resident microglia, distributed throughout the brain parenchyma; (2) perivascular macrophages located in the brain capillaries of the basal lamina and the choroid plexus. …”
