Journal ArticleDOI
Human Merkel cell polyomavirus infection I. MCV T antigen expression in Merkel cell carcinoma, lymphoid tissues and lymphoid tumors.
Masahiro Shuda,Reety Arora,Hyun Jin Kwun,Huichen Feng,Ronit Sarid,María Teresa Fernández-Figueras,Yanis L. Tolstov,Ole Gjoerup,Mahesh Mansukhani,Steven H. Swerdlow,Preet M. Chaudhary,John M. Kirkwood,Michael A. Nalesnik,Jeffrey A. Kant,Lawrence M. Weiss,Patrick S. Moore,Yuan Chang +16 more
TL;DR: A monoclonal antibody is developed that specifically recognizes endogenous and transfected MCV large T (LT) antigen and expression of this putative viral oncoprotein in tumor cells provides the mechanistic underpinning supporting the notion that MCV causes a subset of MCC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thyroid Autoimmune Disease: Demonstration of Thyroid Antigen-Specific B Cells and Recombination-Activating Gene Expression in Chemokine-Containing Active Intrathyroidal Germinal Centers
Maria Pilar Armengol,Manel Juan,Anna Lucas-Martín,María Teresa Fernández-Figueras,Dolores Jaraquemada,Teresa Gallart,Ricardo Pujol-Borrell +6 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that ectopic intrathyroidal LFs contain all of the elements needed to drive the autoimmune response and also that their microenvironment may favor the expansion and perpetuation of autoimmune response.
Journal ArticleDOI
A dysfunctional desmin mutation in a patient with severe generalized myopathy
Ana M. Muñoz-Mármol,Geraldine Strasser,Marcos Isamat,Pierre A. Coulombe,Yanmin Yang,Xavier Roca,Elena Vela,Jose Luis Mate,Jaume Coll,María Teresa Fernández-Figueras,José J. Navas-Palacios,Aurelio Ariza,Elaine Fuchs +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown that recombinant desmin harboring a deletion within the coiled-coil segment of the protein cannot form proper desmin intermediate filament networks in cultured cells, nor is it able to assemble into 10-nm filaments in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI
Capture and transfer of HIV-1 particles by mature dendritic cells converges with the exosome-dissemination pathway
Nuria Izquierdo-Useros,Mar Naranjo-Gómez,Jacob Archer,Steven C. Hatch,Itziar Erkizia,Julià Blanco,Francesc E. Borràs,Maria C. Puertas,John H. Connor,María Teresa Fernández-Figueras,Landon L. Moore,Bonaventura Clotet,Suryaram Gummuluru,Javier Martinez-Picado +13 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) can exploit this exosome antigen-dissemination pathway intrinsic to mature DCs (mDCs) for mediating trans-infection of T lymphocytes.
Journal Article
Pancreas in recent onset insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
Nuria Somoza,F Vargas,Carme Roura-Mir,Marta Vives-Pi,María Teresa Fernández-Figueras,Aurelio Ariza Fernández,Ramon Gomis,Rafael Bragado,Mercè Martí,Dolores Jaraquemada Pérez de Guzmán,Ricardo Pujol Borrell +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the pancreata of two newly diagnosed (case 1) and one long standing (case 2) patients was studied and the results indicated that, unlike spontaneous animal models of diabetes, in the pancreas of IDDM patients there are no elements of the inductive phase of the autoimmune response.
