Separation of plasma ‐derived exosomes into CD3(+) and CD3(–) fractions allows for association of immune cell and tumour cell markers with disease activity in HNSCC patients
Summary Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a highly immunosuppressive malignancy. Exosomes in HNSCC patients' plasma are enriched in inhibitory cargo and mediate immunosuppression. As these exosomes are products of various cells, the cellular origin of immunoregulatory proteins they carry is unknown. To test whether tumour‐ or T cell‐derived exosomes in patients' plasma are immunosuppressive and impact upon disease activity, we separated CD3(–) from CD3(+) exosomes by immunocapture using anti‐CD3 antibodies. The exosome protein cargo was evaluated for immunoregulatory proteins using on‐bead flow cyt...

Correction of T cell deficiency in ZAP ‐70 knock‐out mice by simple intraperitoneal adoptive transfer of thymocytes
Summary The tyrosine kinase zeta chain‐associated protein of 70 kDa (ZAP‐70) plays a key role in T cell development and signalling. In the absence of ZAP‐70, T cell development is arrested in the CD4+CD8+ double‐positive stage, thus ZAP‐70 homozygous knockout (ZAP‐70–/–) mice have no mature T cells in their peripheral lymphoid organs and blood, causing severe immunodeficiency. We investigated the early kinetics and long‐term effects of wild‐type thymocyte transfer on T cell repopulation in ZAP‐70–/– mice. We used a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection to deliver donor thymocytes to the recipien...

IL ‐27: a double agent in the IL‐6 family
Summary The cytokine interleukin (IL)‐6 is a major therapeutic target for the treatment of various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. While IL‐6 receives considerable attention in studies of innate and adaptive immunity, the IL‐6‐related family member IL‐27 is recognized increasingly for its effects on cellular proliferation, differentiation and leucocyte effector functions. Both cytokines activate responses in myeloid and stromal tissue cells, where they direct the transition from innate to adaptive immunity. However, they are identified frequently as lymphokines that control responses in T cells and B cells....
