Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo priming of virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes with synthetic lipopeptide vaccine

TL;DR: It is reported that synthetic viral peptides covalently linked to tripalmitoyl-S-glycerylcysteinyl-seryl-serine (P3CSS) can efficiently prime influenza-virus-specific CTL in vivo and are able to induce the same high-affinity CTL as does the infectious virus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterodimerization of TLR2 with TLR1 or TLR6 expands the ligand spectrum but does not lead to differential signaling.

TL;DR: Heterodimerization of TLR2 with TLR1 or TLR6 evolutionarily developed to expand the ligand spectrum to enable the innate immune system to recognize the numerous, different structures of LP present in various pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

TLR1- and TLR6-independent recognition of bacterial lipopeptides.

TL;DR: A triacylation pattern is necessary but not sufficient to render a lipopeptide TLR1-dependent, and a diacylation patterns is necessarybut not sufficientTo render alipopeptides TLR6-dependent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toll-like receptor 6-independent signaling by diacylated lipopeptides.

TL;DR: The results indicate that both the lipid and the N‐terminal peptides of lipoproteins contribute to the specificity of recognition by TLR2 heteromers and are responsible for the ligand–receptor interaction on host cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recognition principle of the TAP transporter disclosed by combinatorial peptide libraries

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the substrate specificity of human TAP at high resolution and in the absence of any given sequence context, revealing the contribution of each peptide residue in stabilizing binding to TAP.
