Journal ArticleDOI

Plasticity of antimicrobial and phagocytic programs in human macrophages

TL;DR: An approach to induce MΦ plasticity that provides the potential for re‐educating M Φ function in human mycobacterial disease to promote host defense and limit pathogenesis is demonstrated.
Journal Article

B7-1, But Not CD28, Is Crucial for the Maintenance of the CD4+ T Cell Responses in Human Leprosy

TL;DR: Peripheral blood T cell responses in the lepromatous form were strongly regulated by CD28 during T cell activation, in contrast to the tuberculoid form, suggesting that B7-1 costimulation could play a role in maintaining a strong immune response to the pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Demonstration in situ of subsets of T-lymphocytes in sarcoidosis

TL;DR: T-cells expressing the suppressor/cytotoxic phenotype were found predominantly in lymphocytic mantles surrounding sarcoidal granulomas, whereas cells displaying the helper/inducer phenotype were distributed diffusely throughoutgranulomas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of human CD4+ T cells by targeting MHC class II epitopes to endosomal compartments using human CD1 tail sequences

TL;DR: Evaluation of trafficking patterns revealed that all four human CD1‐derived targeting sequences delivered antigen to the MHC class II antigen presentation pathway, to early/recycling, early/sorting and late endosomes/lysosomes.
