  • Activation of AHR in lung epithelia with FICZ suppresses proinflammatory responses.

  • Lung AHR suppresses TGFβ-mediated EMT transitions and enhances epithelial barrier function.

  • AHR plays a protective role in epithelial lung injury and repair processes.

J Immunol (2024) 213 (5): 612–618.

  • Allotype-specific ELISA allows one to distinguish maternally derived and neonate-derived Ab responses postvaccination.

  • Nemo SQ motifs are dispensable for DSB-dependent gene expression changes.

J Immunol (2024) 213 (5): 641–650.

  • HEB enables β-catenin block in DP thymocytes; its removal restores thymic selection.

  • β-Catenin directs HEB to new sites, altering thymic selection and cell cycle genes.

  • Block reversal is TCF-1 independent, indicating unique HEB functions.

IMMUNOGENETICS

J Immunol (2024) 213 (5): 651–662.

  • Structural variation in IGH limits effectiveness of a single linear genome reference.

  • Structural variation in IGH limits accuracy of short-read epigenetic data.
