Journal ArticleDOI

Defective removal of ribonucleotides from DNA promotes systemic autoimmunity

TL;DR: It is determined that heterozygous parents of AGS patients exhibit an intermediate autoimmune phenotype and a genetic association between rare RNASEH2 sequence variants and SLE is demonstrated and a role of DNA damage-associated pathways in the initiation of autoimmunity is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

RPA and Rad51 constitute a cell intrinsic mechanism to protect the cytosol from self DNA.

TL;DR: It is shown that short ssDNA traverses the nuclear membrane, but is drawn into the nucleus by binding to the DNA replication and repair factors RPA and Rad51, which constitutes a cell intrinsic mechanism to protect the cytosol from self DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Costimulation improves the killing capability of T cells redirected to tumor cells expressing low levels of CD33: description of a novel modular targeting system

TL;DR: It is observed that an efficient killing of tumor cells expressing low levels of the tumor target CD33 becomes critical at low effector-to-target cell ratios but can be improved by costimulation via CD137 using the novel targeting system described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Familial chilblain lupus due to a novel mutation in the exonuclease III domain of 3' repair exonuclease 1 (TREX1).

TL;DR: This case further implicates type I interferon-dependent innate immune activation in the pathogenesis of TREX1-associated familial chilblain lupus, suggesting a particular role of mutations within the catalytic exonuclease (Exo) III domain.
