Human NK Cells Licensed by Killer Ig Receptor Genes Have an Altered Cytokine Program That Modifies CD4+ T Cell Function

TL;DR: It is shown that the “licensing” of NK cells, determined by the presence of KIR2DL3 and homozygous HLA-C1 in host genome, results in their cytokine reprogramming, which permits them to promote CD4+ T cell activation and Th17 differentiation ex vivo.

Methods of diagnosing ulcerative colitis and crohn's disease

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed methods of prognosing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in an individual by determining the presence of at least one risk genetic variant and/or one risk serological marker.
Journal ArticleDOI

Linkage of Crohn's disease-related serological phenotypes: NFKB1 haplotypes are associated with anti-CBir1 and ASCA, and show reduced NF-kappaB activation.

TL;DR: The results suggest that NFKB1 haplotypes induce dysregulation of innate immune responses by altering NF-κB expression, and the use of EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines to conduct phenotypic studies of genetic variation is shown.
Journal Article

A soluble factor produced by lamina propria mononuclear cells is required for TNF-alpha enhancement of IFN-gamma production by T cells.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that cultured LPMC secrete a factor which acts on preactivated T cells in concert with TNF-alpha to augment IFN-gamma production, which is independent of IL-12 and IL-18, the well-documented potentiators of IFN, and is not produced by PBMC.
