TL;DR: Most convalescent plasma samples obtained from individuals who recover from COVID-19 do not contain high levels of neutralizing activity, and rare but recurring RBD-specific antibodies with potent antiviral activity were found in all individuals tested, suggesting that a vaccine designed to elicit such antibodies could be broadly effective.

TL;DR: In this paper, the capacity of Dendritic cells to interact with NK cells in human lymphoid organs and identify the role of specific DC-derived cytokines was identified. And they demonstrated that DCs colocalize with NKs in the T cell areas of lymph nodes.

TL;DR: It is shown that fully differentiated monocyte-derived DCs (Mo-DCs) develop in mice and DC-SIGN/CD209a marks the cells, and the blood monocyte reservoir becomes the dominant presenting cell in response to select microbes, yielding DC- SIGN(+) cells with critical functions of DCs.

TL;DR: The feasibility of sustained expansion of NKT cells in vivo in humans, including patients who have advanced cancer, is demonstrated and it is suggested that NKT activation might help to boost adaptive T cell immunity in vivo.

TL;DR: It is found that encapsulated Streptococcus pneumoniae are rapidly cleared by these macrophages from the bloodstream, and that capture also takes place when different cell lines express SIGN-R1 after transfection.
