Intraflagellar transport is required for polarized recycling of the TCR/CD3 complex to the immune synapse.

23 Oct 2009 Most eukaryotic cells have a primary cilium which functions as a sensory organelle. Cilia are assembled by intraflagellar transport (IFT), a process mediated by multimeric IFT particles and molecular motors. Here we show that lymphoid and myeloid ... Read more...

Determination of group a streptococcal anti-M type-specific antibody in sera of rheumatic fever patients after 45 years.

13 Oct 2009 Group A streptococcal M type--specific protective antibodies-especially their persistence in humans--are incompletely understood. Such information is essential for understanding the epidemiology and pathogenesis of these infections and their ... Read more...

Dominant role of antigen dose in CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T cell induction and expansion.

13 Oct 2009 The definitions of tolerogenic vs immunogenic dendritic cells (DC) remain controversial. Immature DC have been shown to induce T regulatory cells (Treg) specific for foreign and allogeneic Ags. However, we have previously reported that mature DC ... Read more...
