Journal ArticleDOI

Biological properties of extracellular vesicles and their physiological functions

María Yáñez-Mó, +72 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of the current understanding of the physiological roles of EVs is provided, drawing on the unique EV expertise of academia-based scientists, clinicians and industry based in 27 European countries, the United States and Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cutting Edge: Role of Toll-Like Receptor 9 in CpG DNA-Induced Activation of Human Cells

TL;DR: Findings indicate that hTLR9 plays a critical role in the CpG DNA-mediated activation of human cells and evolutionary divergence between TLR9 molecules underlies species-specific differences in the recognition of bacterial DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human Peripheral Blood Cells Differentially Recognize and Respond to Two Distinct CpG Motifs

TL;DR: Analysis of hundreds of novel ODN resulted in the identification and characterization of two structurally distinct “clusters” of immunostimulatory CpG ODN that preferentially stimulates IFN-γ production by NK cells, whereas the other (“K”) stimulates cell proliferation and the production of IL-6 and IgM by monocytes and B cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential and competitive activation of human immune cells by distinct classes of CpG oligodeoxynucleotide

TL;DR: It is established that both types of ODN bind to and are internalized by the same individual B cells, NK cells, and monocytes, and that different types of CpG ODN have distinct and in some cases incompatible effects on the same cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Repetitive Elements in Mammalian Telomeres Suppress Bacterial DNA-Induced Immune Activation

TL;DR: It is found that repetitive elements present at high frequency in mammalian telomeres, but rare in bacteria, down-regulate CpG-induced immune activation and correlates with the ability of telomeric TTAGGG repeats to form G-tetrads.
