Synergy of IL-21 and IL-15 in regulating CD8+ T cell expansion and function
Interleukin (IL)-21 is the most recently recognized of the cytokines that share the common cytokine receptor γ chain (γc), which is mutated in humans with X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency.… Expand

Selective expansion of high- or low-avidity cytotoxic T lymphocytes and efficacy for adoptive immunotherapy.
The conventional approach to cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) induction uses maximal antigen concentration with the intent of eliciting more CTL. However, the efficacy of this approach has not been… Expand

NKT cell–mediated repression of tumor immunosurveillance by IL-13 and the IL-4R–STAT6 pathway
Using a mouse model in which tumors show a growth-regression-recurrence pattern, we investigated the mechanisms for down-regulation of cytotoxic T lymphocyte–mediated tumor immuno-surveillance. We… Expand

Hydrophobicity scales and computational techniques for detecting amphipathic structures in proteins.
Protein segments that form amphipathic alpha-helices in their native state have periodic variation in the hydrophobicity values of the residues along the segment, with a 3.6 residue per cycle period… Expand

The role of NKT cells in tumor immunity.
NKT cells are a relatively newly recognized member of the immune community, with profound effects on the rest of the immune system despite their small numbers. They are true T cells with a T cell… Expand

Shared modes of protection against poxvirus infection by attenuated and conventional smallpox vaccine viruses
The concern about bioterrorism with smallpox has raised the possibility of widespread vaccination, but the greater prevalence of immunocompromised individuals today requires a safer vaccine, and the… Expand

Commensal DNA limits regulatory T cell conversion and is a natural adjuvant of intestinal immune responses.
The intestinal tract is in intimate contact with the commensal microflora. Nevertheless, how commensals communicate with cells to ensure immune homeostasis is still unclear. In this study, we found… Expand

Role of interleukin-10 in T helper cell dysfunction in asymptomatic individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus.
The loss of T helper cell (TH) function in asymptomatic HIV type 1-infected individuals occurs before the decline in CD4+ T cells. At least part of the loss in TH function results from changes in… Expand

An immunodominant epitope of the human immunodeficiency virus envelope glycoprotein gp160 recognized by class I major histocompatibility complex molecule-restricted murine cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
Because cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) may be important for preventing direct cell-to-cell transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the agent responsible for acquired immunodeficiency… Expand

Lymphopenia and interleukin-2 therapy alter homeostasis of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells
CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells have a crucial role in maintaining immune tolerance. Mice and humans born lacking Treg cells develop severe autoimmune disease, and depletion of Treg cells in… Expand
