T cell-mediated control of Epstein-Barr virus infection in humanized mice.

13 Nov 2009 Humanized NOD/Shi-scid/interleukin-2Rgamma(null) (NOG) mice with full T cell development had significantly longer life span after Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, compared with those with minimal T cell development. Removing CD3(+) or CD8(+) T ... Read more...

The shared tumor associated antigen cyclin-A2 is recognized by high-avidity T-cells.

13 Nov 2009 Cyclin-A2, a key cell cycle regulator, has been shown to be overexpressed in various types of malignancies with little expression in normal tissue. Such tumor-associated genes potentially are useful targets for cancer immunotherapy. However, ... Read more...

The follicular versus marginal zone B lymphocyte cell fate decision.

30 Oct 2009 Bone marrow-derived B cells make an important cell fate choice to develop into either follicular B cells or marginal zone B cells in the spleen, which depends on signalling through the B cell receptor, Notch2, the receptor for B cell-activating ... Read more...
