The inhibition of ADAM17 in cord blood stem cell-derived CD16 < sup > + < /sup > NK cells to enhance their cytotoxicity against acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells
Hum Immunol. 2024 Feb 29:110769. doi: 10.1016/j.humimm.2024.110769. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFortunately, ample efforts are being made to find the best strategy to improve the anti-leukemia capacity of NK cells for treating different types of cancer. Despite the favorable ADCC capacity of functional CD16 + NK cells for immunotherapy, when NK cells face leukemia cells, the CD16 receptor is cleaved during the process mediated by a disintegrin and metalloproteinase-17(ADAM17). Reduced CD16 expression on NK cells weakens their cytotoxicity against leukemia cells. In addition, the expression of the CD47 receptor is high in...

Including the liver in the visceral allograft: Impact on donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies and long-term outcomes
In conclusion, liver-containing visceral allografts have superior short- and long-term outcomes compared with liver-free allografts. De novo DSA develop early and frequently after VTx performed without B cell-depleting induction therapy, but the exact role of DSA in the pathogenesis of rejection remains unclear.PMID:38418315 | DOI:10.1016/j.humimm.2024.110767 (Source: Human Immunology)

The increasing need for ABO blood group genotyping and quality assurance implications for laboratory implementation
Hum Immunol. 2024 Feb 23:110766. doi: 10.1016/j.humimm.2024.110766. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTABO blood group antigens are critical determinants of immunologic self and non-self and are ubiquitously expressed on all cellular tissues. Antibodies against non-self ABO antigens are naturally present and can mediate pathologic reactions against incompatible transfused blood cells and transplanted tissues. Laboratory testing for ABO antigens and isoagglutinins is essential for safe and effective transfusion and transplantation. Testing for ABO antigens has traditionally depended on serologic testing. However, there is increa...

The role of immune system in atherosclerosis: Molecular mechanisms, controversies, and future possibilities
Hum Immunol. 2024 Feb 17:110765. doi: 10.1016/j.humimm.2024.110765. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNumerous cardiovascular disorders have atherosclerosis as their pathological underpinning. Numerous studies have demonstrated that, with the aid of pattern recognition receptors, cytokines, and immunoglobulins, innate immunity, represented by monocytes/macrophages, and adaptive immunity, primarily T/B cells, play a critical role in controlling inflammation and abnormal lipid metabolism in atherosclerosis. Additionally, the finding of numerous complement components in atherosclerotic plaques suggests yet again how heavily the i...

Tcells play a critical role in the immune response to A. fumigatus, with different subsets having distinct functions. Th1 cells are important for controlling fungal growth, while Th2 cells can exacerbate infection.
