Journal ArticleDOI

Inverse correlation between IL-7 receptor expression and CD8 T cell exhaustion during persistent antigen stimulation.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that persistent antigen suppressed IL‐7Rα expression and this correlated with T cell exhaustion and reduced expression of the anti‐apoptotic molecule B cell leukemia/lymphoma 2 (Bcl‐2).
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of B7 costimulation in T-cell immunity

TL;DR: The present review outlines the current understanding of the physiological role of B7 costimulatory signals in regulating CD4+ T cell responses and identifies two major signalling pathways responsible for delivery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunoprivileged status of the liver is controlled by Toll-like receptor 3 signaling

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that highly activated liver-specific effector CD8+ T cells alone were not sufficient to trigger immune destruction of the liver in mice, and only additional innate immune signals orchestrated by TLR3 provoked liver damage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Helminth products bypass the need for TSLP in Th2 immune responses by directly modulating dendritic cell function.

TL;DR: It is reported that the interaction of TSLP with its receptor (TSLPR) has no functional impact on the development of protective Th2 immune responses after infection with 2 helminth pathogens, Heligmosomoides polygyrus and Nippostrongylus brasiliensis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polyclonal and Specific Antibodies Mediate Protective Immunity against Enteric Helminth Infection

TL;DR: It is proposed that parasite-induced polyclonal antibodies play a dual role, whereby the parasite is allowed to establish chronicity, while parasite load and spread are limited, likely reflecting the long coevolution of helminth parasites with their hosts.
