Innate allergy
Immunology Interest Group Seminar Series Despite clear roles for classical arms of immunity in maintenance of a healthy commensal microbial flora and protection from invasive pathogenic organisms, the purpose of allergic immunity, which underlies increasingly prevalent diseases like food allergy, asthma and atopic dermatitis, remains puzzling. The discovery of innate lymphoid cells that are programmed to produce cytokines associated with allergic immunity has provided new opportunities to assess basal physiologic processes that involve this canonical tissue response, and may reveal opportunities for re-tuning this arm of i...

Human T cells in immunity, autoimmunity and immunodeficiencies
Immunology Interest Group Seminar Series Dr. Sallusto''s laboratory is focused on the understanding of the mechanisms that control T cell priming and regulate cytokine production and homing capacities. These questions are addressed primarily in the human system, combining the ex vivo analysis of memory T cell subsets with in vitro priming of naive T cells. This approach has led to the identification of chemokine receptors expressed in human Th17 and Th22 cells, and to the dissection of the cytokines that drive naive T cells polarization and modulate T cells effector functions. In parallel, Dr. Sallusto''s laboratory has us...

Control of T Helper Type 2 Responses by Dendritic Cells
Immunology Interest Group Seminar Series In my laboratory the focus will be on two main areas of research: (1) the mechanisms determining the commitment and plasticity of memory follicular helper CD4 T cells (Tfh) cells and their role in allergy, and (2) the roles that dendritic cell (DC) subpopulations play in the induction of T Helper 2 (Th2) responses to common allergens that trigger allergic asthma. Our data indicate that IL-4-committed Tfh cells are precursors of house dust mite (HDM)-specific Th2 cells and reveal an unexpected role of B cells and Tfh cells in the pathogenesis of allergic asthma. In addition, new data...

Nanolayered drug-release systems for regenerative medicine and targeted nanotherapies
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series Margaret Pittman Lecture Alternating electrostatic assembly is a tool that makes it possible to create ultrathin film coatings that contain highly controlled quantities of one or more therapeutic molecules within a singular construct. These release systems greatly exceed the usual ranges of traditional degradable polymers. The nature of the layering process enables the incorporation of different drugs within different regions of the thin-film architecture; the result is an ability to uniquely tailor both the independent-release profiles and order-of-release of each therap...
