Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting antigen-presenting cells by anti–PD-1 nanoparticles augments antitumor immunity

TL;DR: It is found that anti-PD-1 NPs undergo internalization by DCs in the spleen, leading to their maturation and the subsequent activation of T cells, which improves the antitumor effect of this agent in the B16-F10 murine melanoma model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ischemia augments alloimmune injury through IL-6-driven CD4+ alloreactivity.

TL;DR: A novel pathway where IRI activates innate immunity, leading to upregulation of antigen specific alloimmunity, resulting in chronic allograft injury is described, and a clinically relevant treatment strategy to overcome the deleterious effect of IRI is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of lymph node stroma and microenvironment in T cell tolerance

TL;DR: Increased understanding of LN architecture, how different LN SCs integrate immunological cues and shape immune responses, and approaches to induce T cell tolerance will help further combat autoimmune diseases and graft rejection.
