NIH ProtIG seminar: Immunopeptidomics Frontier: Practical Deployments Today, Revolutionary Visions Tomorrow
The science that investigates the ensembles of all peptides associated with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules is termed " immunopeptidomics " and is typically driven by mass spectrometry (MS) technologies. Recent advances in MS technologies, neoantigen discovery, and cancer immunotherapy have catalyzed the launch of the Human Immunopeptidome Project with the goal of providing a complete map of the human immunopeptidome and making the technology so robust that it will be available in every clinic. In this presentation, I will describe our latest progress in the field for the discovery of tumor-specific antigens and vi...

WALS- George Khoury Lecture: Coronavirus Activation and Antagonism of Interferon Signaling Pathways: from MHV to SARS-CoV-2
Coronavirus interactions with the interferon signaling response are crucial for antiviral defense especially at the early stages of infection. Murine coronavirus, MHV, has taught us a lot about the basic biology of this family of viruses as well as antagonism of innate immune response, a hallmark of coronavirus infection. Building on our MHV data, we have more recently worked with human coronaviruses. We have optimized methods for comparing human coronaviruses in a primary nasal cell air liquid interface (ALI) culture system, which models the initial site of respiratory virus infection. Common cold coronaviruses as well as...

Sea otter eating a marsh crab in Elkhorn Slough
A sea otter eats a marsh crab in Elkhorn Slough, an estuary on Monterey Bay in California. A study suggests the recolonization of otters has significantly slowed erosion of creekbanks and marsh edges by controlling the population of crabs, which eat roots and dig into soil.

IIG Seminar - A new molecular regulatory pathway revealed by studying a human immunodysregulatory disorder
Our laboratory aims to elucidate molecular mechanisms regulating the human immune system and delineate how their derangements cause disease. As will be exemplified in the talk, our approach is to study patients with rare and poorly characterized inherited inborn errors of immunity who are followed at the NIH Clinical Center. By carefully investigating these “ experiments of nature ” we can draw inferences about molecular functions based on patient phenotypes. Our program broadly integrates the patients ’ clinical evaluations, assessments of their immune function, genetic and biochemical analyses to gain insights into...

IIG Seminar - Chronic psychological stress and macrophage inflammation in atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease of the arteries that initiates through normal protective functions of the innate immune system, but goes awry through the failure to resolve macrophage inflammation in the arterial plaques. Dr. Fisher ’ s laboratory has pioneered multiple mouse models in which to study inflammation resolution in atherosclerosis. He has collaborated with a number of colleagues to apply these models to study mechanisms by which certain conditions, such as diabetes, kidney disease, and obesity, increase cardiovascular risk through their interference with plaque macrophage infla...
