The microbiota as instructor and arbiter of immune responses in health and disease
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Dr. Littman ’ s laboratory applies molecular and genetics tools to study how T lymphocytes develop and participate in inflammation and how HIV interacts with the host innate immune system. Dr. Littman isolated the genes for the CD4 and CD8 co-receptors and determined how their expression is regulated and their signaling influences selection of helper and cytotoxic cells. His group discovered that the nuclear receptor ROR t regulates differentiation of Th17 cells and lymphoid tissue inducer cells and that it can be targeted for autoimmune disease therapy. He and his co...

NIH Research Festival: A Celebration of Intramural Science Plenary Session III: Chronic Inflammation
Most of the NIH institutes and centers are involved in studies for which chronic inflammation is a common denominator. Allergies, asthma, heart and circulatory disease, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, some cancers, multiple sclerosis, and possibly Alzheimer’s. These are just a few debilitating diseases that can originate partly or entirely from the immune system’s aggressive response to perceived harmful stimuli. Aging itself has been described as the totality of a lifetime of chronic inflammation. Better understanding the causes and control of chronic inflammation thus can lead to pro...

Neutrophils in the pathogenesis of systemic autoimmune diseases: casting the NET widely
NIH Director's Seminar Series
Systemic autoimmune diseases comprise a clinically heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by a failure in self-tolerance to a wide variety of intracellular autoantigens, and include conditions like systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody associated-vasculitis.
Work at the Systemic Autoimmunity Branch has focused on characterizing the role that aberrant neutrophils play in the promotion of loss of immunological tolerance, amplification of inflammatory responses and direct end-organ damage in these diseases. One characteristic of ...
