In Vivo Depletion of CD11c+ Dendritic Cells Abrogates Priming of CD8+ T Cells by Exogenous Cell-Associated Antigens

TL;DR: A novel diphtheria toxin-based system that allows the inducible, short-term ablation of dendritic cells (DC) in vivo is reported and it is shown that in vivo DC are required to cross-prime CTL precursors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conditional Macrophage Ablation Demonstrates That Resident Macrophages Initiate Acute Peritoneal Inflammation

TL;DR: A key role is indicated for resident peritoneal Mφ in sensing perturbation to the peritoneum microenvironment and regulating PMN infiltration in experimental peritonitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Histidine phosphorylation of the potassium channel KCa3.1 by nucleoside diphosphate kinase B is required for activation of KCa3.1 and CD4 T cells

TL;DR: It is shown that nucleoside diphosphate kinase B (NDPK-B), a mammalian histidine kinase, functions downstream of PI(3)P to activate KCa3.1, and this findings provide one of the best examples whereby histidine phosphorylation regulates a biological process in mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fgf receptor signaling plays a role in lens induction.

TL;DR: Experiments show that fibroblast growth factor receptor (Fgfr) signaling plays a role in lens induction and define a genetic pathway in which Fgfr and Bmp7 signaling converge on Pax6 expression in the lens placode with the Foxe3 and Sox2 genes lying downstream.
Journal ArticleDOI

VEGF deprivation-induced apoptosis is a component of programmed capillary regression.

TL;DR: Inhibition of VEGF in vivo using fusion proteins of the human Flk-1/KDR receptor resulted in a significantly increased number of capillaries showing synchronous apoptosis, providing evidence that V EGF is necessary for endothelial cell survival in this system and in addition, that VegF deprivation mediated by flow cessation is a component of synchronous suicides.
