Effect of IRAK-M on Airway Inflammation Induced by Cigarette Smoking by Haihong Gong, Tao Liu, Wei Chen, Weixun Zhou, Jinming Gao

“…Upon short-term CS exposure and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) inhalation, IRAK-M KO mice demonstrated worse airway inflammation, significantly higher percentage of Th17 cells and concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines in the lungs, and significantly elevated expression of costimulatory molecules CD40 and CD86 by lung dendritic cells (DCs) or macrophages. Conversely, 7-week CS exposed IRAK-M KO mice demonstrated significantly attenuated airway inflammation, significantly lower concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines in the lungs, significantly increased percentage of Tregs, and lower expression of CD11b and CD86 by lung DCs or macrophages. …”

Peptide Antigen Modifications Influence the On-Target and Off-Target Antibody Response for an Influenza Subunit Vaccine by Megan C. Schulte, Adam C. Boll, Agustin T. Barcellona, Elida A. Lopez, Adam G. Schrum, Bret D. Ulery

“…The PAMs were characterized, then their immunogenicity was evaluated with bone marrow-derived dendritic cells and in mice. Results: Although the modification scheme yielded immunogenic PAMs, these PAMs induced a substantial amount of off-target antibody production compared to unmodified peptidyl micelles (PMs, M2_1–24 peptide). …”

Increased TNF-α Initiates Cytoplasmic Vacuolization in Whole Blood Coculture with Dengue Virus by Rahmat Dani Satria, Tzu-Wen Huang, Ming-Kai Jhan, Ting-Jing Shen, Po-Chun Tseng, Yun-Ting Wang, Zhen-Yu Yang, Chung-Hsi Hsing, Chiou-Feng Lin

“…With a minor change in the complete blood cell count, except for a minor increase in neutrophils and a significant decrease in monocytes, the immune profiling assay identified several changes, particularly a significant reduction in CD14-positive monocytes as well as CD11c-positive dendritic cells. Abnormal production of TNF-α was highly associated with the induction of vacuolization. …”
