Journal ArticleDOI

Superior antigen cross-presentation and XCR1 expression define human CD11c+CD141+ cells as homologues of mouse CD8+ dendritic cells

TL;DR: It is shown that CD141+ DCs are the only cells in human blood that express the chemokine receptor XCR1 and respond to the specific ligand XCL1 by Ca2+ mobilization and potent chemotaxis and defined as professional antigen cross-presenting DCs in the human.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defective expression of T-cell CD40 ligand causes X-linked immunodeficiency with hyper-IgM

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that point mutations in the TRAP gene give rise to nonfunctional or defective expression of TRAP on the surface of T cells in patients with HIGM1, which is responsible for the observed immunoglobulin isotype defect in HIGm1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Homozygous loss of ICOS is associated with adult-onset common variable immunodeficiency

TL;DR: The phenotype of human ICOS deficiency, which differs in key aspects from that of the ICOS−/− mouse, suggests a critical involvement of ICOS in T cell help for late B cell differentiation, class-switching and memory B cell generation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective Expression of the Chemokine Receptor XCR1 on Cross-presenting Dendritic Cells Determines Cooperation with CD8+ T Cells

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that XCR1 is exclusively expressed on murine CD8(+) dendritic cells (DCs) and that XCL1 is a potent and highly specific chemoattractant for this DC subset, and emerges as an integral component in the development of efficient cytotoxic immunity in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning of TRAP, a ligand for CD40 on human T cells

TL;DR: A cDNA clone, designated TRAP (TNF‐related activation protein), isolated from a collection of T cell activation genes, is highly similar to an identified murine CD40 ligand both at the cDNA and the protein levels, and related to tumor necrosis factor/lymphotoxin.
