TRANSLATING IMMUNOLOGY

J Immunol (2019) 203 (3): 585–592.

BRIEF REVIEWS

J Immunol (2019) 203 (3): 593–599.

CUTTING EDGE

J Immunol (2019) 203 (3): 601–606.

  • Microcontact printing can be used to mimic spatially limiting Ag presentation.

  • High synapse propensity of human memory CD8 T cells prevents naive cell recruitment.

ANTIGEN RECOGNITION AND RESPONSES

J Immunol (2019) 203 (3): 607–626.

  • Part of the juxtamembrane of BTN3A1 proteins forms a coiled-coil dimer.

  • The coiled-coil dimer is critical for BTN3A1 stimulation of Vγ2Vδ2 T cells.

  • B30.2 domains of BTN3A1 proteins also dimerize through a short coiled-coil region.

J Immunol (2019) 203 (3): 627–638.

  • YY1-deficient NKT cells display cell-intrinsic developmental and functional defects.

  • YY1-deficient NKT cells maintain wild-type levels of PLZF expression.

  • YY1 and PLZF proteins associate with one another.

AUTOIMMUNITY

J Immunol (2019) 203 (3): 639–646.

  • The CD27 pathway on CD4+ T cells plays a role in driving skin autoimmunity.

  • CD27 signaling promotes survival by suppressing cell-extrinsic apoptosis.

CLINICAL AND HUMAN IMMUNOLOGY

J Immunol (2019) 203 (3): 647–657.

  • Seminal fluid primes Treg cells to elicit tolerance of male alloantigens.

  • Neuropilin-1+ Tregs of likely thymic origin are prevalent amongst responding T cells.

  • Neuropilin-1+ Tregs exhibit Foxp3 TSDR demethylation after seminal fluid contact.

IMMUNE REGULATION

J Immunol (2019) 203 (3): 658–664.

  • The transcriptional regulator Id2 is highly expressed in aTregs.

  • Id2 is critical for the survival of aTregs.

  • Id2 is essential for the function of aTregs in preventing systemic inflammation.

J Immunol (2019) 203 (3): 665–675.

  • BACE1 is expressed in CD4+ T cells and regulates signaling events during activation.

  • BACE1-deficient T cells show reduced IL-17A expression in vitro.

  • BACE1−/− Th17 cells have impaired pathogenicity in EAE.

J Immunol (2019) 203 (3): 676–685.

  • Three signals are required to trigger NK cell proliferation.

  • 4-1BBL fine-tunes NK cell proliferation but not NK cell cytolytic activity.

IMMUNE SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT

J Immunol (2019) 203 (3): 686–695.

  • REs critical for Foxn1 expression are in the first intron of Foxn1.

  • These elements are necessary for Foxn1 expression in TECs.

  • These elements are not required for Foxn1 expression in the skin.

IMMUNOTHERAPY AND VACCINES

J Immunol (2019) 203 (3): 696–704.

  • Recombinant adeno-associated virus expresses low and sustained levels of IFN-α.

  • AAV–IFN-α exerts a potent therapeutic effect and low toxicity in an EAE animal model.

J Immunol (2019) 203 (3): 705–717.

  • KIRs and NK cytotoxicity correlate with HIV control upon IFN-α immunotherapy.

  • NK activity–associated genes correlate with HIV DNA decline upon IFN-α immunotherapy.

  • A gene signature identifies subjects with no ISG modulation upon IFN-α immunotherapy.

INFECTIOUS DISEASE AND HOST RESPONSE

J Immunol (2019) 203 (3): 718–724.

  • TRAIL binding to TRAIL receptor R1 and R2 contributes to CD4 death during HIV infection.

  • Blocking TRAILshort, a TRAIL antagonist, increases death of HIV-infected and uninfected cells.

  • Homeostatic production of TRAILshort may protect cells from HIV-induced cell death.

J Immunol (2019) 203 (3): 725–735.

  • Immunoparalysis phase of sepsis is characterized by increased tumor progression.

  • Effector PD-1hi CD8 TILs are reduced in frequency/function in sepsis survivors.

  • Checkpoint blockade therapy has a diminished window of efficacy in sepsis survivors.

INNATE IMMUNITY AND INFLAMMATION

J Immunol (2019) 203 (3): 736–748.

  • MSU crystals and alum rapidly activate GSDMD.

  • GSDMD is dispensable for MSU crystal– and alum-induced IL-1β release and cell death.
