Emerging Prospects for Nanoparticle-Enabled Cancer Immunotherapy by Manal Ali Buabeid, El-Shaimaa A. Arafa, Ghulam Murtaza

“…Although cancer immunotherapeutics show better outcomes as compared with conventional approaches of cancer treatment, the currently used cancer immunotherapeutics have limited application in delivering cancer antigens to immune cells. Conversely, in solid tumors, tumor microenvironment suppresses the immune system leading to the evasion of anticancer immunity. …”

Immunological Regulation of Fibrosis During Heart Failure: It Takes Two to Tango by Vinay Kumar, Shyam S. Bansal

“…Immune activation, trafficking, and extravasation are tightly regulated to ensure a targeted and effective response against non-self antigens/pathogens while preserving tolerance towards self-antigens and coordinate fibrotic responses for efficient scar formation, a distinction that is severely compromised during chronic diseases. …”

Immunological Mechanisms in Allergic Diseases and Allergen Tolerance: The Role of Treg Cells by D. Calzada, S. Baos, L. Cremades-Jimeno, B. Cárdaba

“…The immune system regulates itself to establish an appropriate immune response to potentially harmful pathogens while tolerating harmless environmental antigens and self-antigens. A central role in this balance is played by regulatory T cells (Tregs) through various ways of actions. …”

Epstein-Barr Virus and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus by Anette Holck Draborg, Karen Duus, Gunnar Houen

“…As EBV is known to be controlled by cell-mediated immunity, the reduced EBV-specific T-cell response in SLE patients may result in defective control of EBV causing frequent reactivation and expression of lytic cycle antigens. This gives rise to enhanced apoptosis and amplified cellular waste load resulting in activation of an immune response and development of EBV-directed antibodies and autoantibodies to cellular antigens.…”

Commensal bacteria education history calibrates the naivety and activation threshold of adaptive antiviral immune system by Baohua Li, Zhou Sha, Li Mou, Feng Zhang, Lifeng Jia, Yan Zhu, Yan Guo, Guohong Deng, Haibo Wu, Hong Wei, Yuzhang Wu, Lilin Ye, Changjiang Liu, Jian Li, Yanyan Zhang, Yanyan Zhang, Yanyan Zhang

“…Exhaustion of the immune system’s ability to adapt to novelty suggests that the changes it undergoes might be a consequence of an evolutionary unpredictable antigenic exposure over a lifetime. Thus, we raise the question of whether a naive immune system can manage new antigens better than an educated immune system. …”

Immunoinformatics Approach for Multiepitope Vaccine Prediction from H, M, F, and N Proteins of Peste des Petits Ruminants Virus by Bothina B. M. Gaafar, Sumaia A. Ali, Khoubieb Ali Abd-elrahman, Yassir A. Almofti

“…The surface accessibility method proposed seven surface epitopes from each of the H and F proteins in addition to six and four epitopes from the M and N proteins, respectively. For antigenicity, only two epitopes 142PPERV146 and 63DPLSP67 were predicted as antigenic from H and M, respectively. …”

“…Typical Sézary cells have a CD3+CD4+CD8– phenotype; however, in cases of the aberrant loss of antigens on Sézary cells, especially the loss of critically important T-cell antigens such as CD4, there is a possibility of misdiagnosing the disease or underestimating the tumor burden of the disease. …”
