BRIEF REVIEWS
CUTTING EDGE
Cutting Edge: Cytosolic Receptor AIM2 Is Induced by Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptor γ following Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection of Human Macrophages but Does Not Contribute to IL-1β Release
M.tb induces AIM2 expression in a PPARγ-dependent and M.tb ESX-1–independent manner.
PPARγ, not AIM2, is important for M.tb-induced IL-1β release in human macrophages.
NLRP3 colocalizes with M.tb and is important for IL-1β release in human macrophages.
ALLERGY AND OTHER HYPERSENSITIVITIES
Butyrate, Valerate, and Niacin Ameliorate Anaphylaxis by Suppressing IgE-Dependent Mast Cell Activation: Roles of GPR109A, PGE2, and Epigenetic Regulation
SCFAs suppress IgE-mediated activation of mast cells in vivo and in vitro.
GPR109A, PGE2, EP3, and HDACi are involved in antiallergic effects of SCFAs.
CLINICAL AND HUMAN IMMUNOLOGY
A Noncanonical CD56dimCD16dim/− NK Cell Subset Indicative of Prior Cytotoxic Activity Is Elevated in Patients with Autoantibody-Mediated Neurologic Diseases
Elevation in NMOSD and MG CD56dimCD16dim/− NK cells suggests prior ADCC activity.
CD56dimCD16dim/− NK cells exhibit HLA-DR, trogocytosis, and reduced cytotoxicity.
MOGAD NK cells do not exhibit functional, phenotypic, or transcriptional changes.
IMMUNE REGULATION
USP13 Cooperates with MARCH8 to Inhibit Antiviral Signaling by Targeting MAVS for Autophagic Degradation in Teleost
USP13 promotes SCRV replication by inhibiting IFN responses.
USP13 promotes the autophagic degradation of MAVS.
USP13 recruits MARCH8 to catalyze MAVS for autophagic degradation.
IMMUNOGENETICS
Multiple Immune and Genetic Mechanisms Contribute to Cmv5s-Driven Susceptibility and Tissue Damage during Acute Murine Cytomegalovirus Infection
Cmv5s, comprising multiple MHC loci, dominantly impedes NK cell MCMV control.
Cmv5s NK cells selectively display high Tim-3 and Lag-3 during MCMV infection.
Cmv5s splenic tissue damage precedes divergence in viral load and NK cell phenotype.
IMMUNOTHERAPY AND VACCINES
Development of a New Off-the-Shelf Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell–Based Approach for the Expansion and Characterization of SARS-CoV-2–Specific T Cells
SARS-CoV-2–specific CD8+ T cells are frequently detected in convalescent donors.
Allogeneic plasmacytoid cell line expands specific SARS-CoV-2 CD8+ T cells in vitro.
TCR sequencing for two T cell clones that target highly immunogenic epitopes.
INFECTIOUS DISEASE AND HOST RESPONSE
Neonatal CD8+ T Cells Resist Exhaustion during Chronic Infection
Neonatal and adult CD8+ T cells adopt different fates during chronic infection.
Neonatal CD8+ T cells retain their effector bias and limit early viral replication.
Adult CD8+ T cells preferentially become exhausted and are less protective.
INNATE IMMUNITY AND INFLAMMATION
miR-345-3p Modulates M1/M2 Macrophage Polarization to Inhibit Inflammation in Bone Infection via Targeting MAP3K1 and NF-κB Pathway
Reduced miR-345-3p levels boost inflammation in a rat IAFF model.
miR-345-3p deletion hinders macrophage polarization.
miR-345-3p inhibits MAP3K1/NF-κB, aiding M1 to M2 macrophage shift.
TLR5M and TLR5S Synergistically Sense Flagellin in Early Endosome in Lamprey Petromyzon marinus, Switched by the N-Glycosylation Site N239
TLR5M and TLR5S synergistically sense flagellin in the early endosome in lamprey.
N-glycosylation N239 switches the ligand-binding and immune response for TLR5M/TLR5S.
TLR5M and TLR5S contain complex-type N-glycan, but only the high-mannose type for TLR5M.
KIR2DS1 and KIR2DL1-C245 Dominantly Repress NK Cell Degranulation Triggered by Monoclonal or Bispecific Antibodies, whereas Education by Uptuning Inhibitory Killer Ig-related Receptors Exerts No Advantage in Ab-dependent Cellular Cytotoxicity
The KIR2DS1 and KIR2DL1-C245 receptors dominantly repress NK cell ADCC.
Education by inhibitory KIR does not enhance the ADCC capacity of NK cells.
NKG2A expression on NK cells consistently associates with superior ADCC.
Reduced Expression of miR-146a Potentiates Intestinal Inflammation following Alcohol and Burn Injury
Alcohol combined with burn injury decreases miR-146a in small intestinal epithelial cells.
Reduced miR-146a promotes intestinal inflammation after alcohol and burn injury.
SYSTEMS IMMUNOLOGY
Consolidation of a Molecular Signature of Healing in Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Is Achieved during the First 10 Days of Treatment
Antileishmanials modulate transcriptomic profiles of inflammation and skin remodeling.
Sustained inflammation and impaired tissue remodeling lead to CL treatment failure.
Major transcriptional changes in CL lesions occur at 10 days of treatment.
A Predictive Model of Vaccine Reactogenicity Using Data from an In Vitro Human Innate Immunity Assay System
A predictive model of vaccine reactogenicity using in vitro assay data is presented.
A subset of tested biomarkers had higher predictive importance for adverse event risk.
TUMOR IMMUNOLOGY
Efficacy against Lung Cancer Is Augmented by Combining Aberrantly N-Glycosylated T Cells with a Chimeric Antigen Receptor Targeting Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 Neighbor
FMR1NB is a (to our knowledge) novel target for CAR against lung cancer.
2DG makes T cells resistant to immune-inhibitory molecules.
2DG-treated T cells augment anti–lung cancer cytotoxicity of anti-FMR1NB CAR.

On the cover: The modular in vitro immune construct peripheral tissue equivalent (PTE) module is a three-dimensional tissue-engineered endothelial cell/collagen matrix culture system. The PTE construct is designed to reproduce in vivo physiological conditions and generate a heterogeneous population of APCs autonomously to replicate the early processes of innate immunity in response to test agents.
