Increasing the efficiency of precise genome editing with CRISPR-Cas9 by inhibition of nonhomologous end joining
- T. Maruyama, S. Dougan, Matthias C Truttmann, Angelina M. Bilate, Jessica R Ingram, H. Ploegh
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Biotechnology
- 1 March 2015
Methods to introduce targeted double-strand breaks (DSBs) into DNA enable precise genome editing by increasing the rate at which externally supplied DNA fragments are incorporated into the genome… Expand
CEACAM1 regulates TIM-3-mediated tolerance and exhaustion
- Yu-Hwa Huang, C. Zhu, +21 authors R. Blumberg
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 1 October 2014
T-cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain-3 (TIM-3, also known as HAVCR2) is an activation-induced inhibitory molecule involved in tolerance and shown to induce T-cell exhaustion in chronic viral… Expand
CD1 expression on antigen-presenting cells.
- S. Dougan, A. Kaser, R. Blumberg
- Medicine
- Current topics in microbiology and immunology
- 2007
CD1 proteins present self and microbial glycolipids to CD 1-restricted T cells, or in the case of CD1d, to NKT cells. The CD1 family in humans consists of group I proteins CDla, CDlb, CDlc, and CDle… Expand
XBP-1 regulates signal transduction, transcription factors and bone marrow colonization in B cells
- C. Hu, S. Dougan, Annette M. McGehee, J. Love, H. Ploegh
- Biology, Medicine
- The EMBO journal
- 1 April 2009
XBP‐1, a transcription factor that drives the unfolded protein response (UPR), is activated in B cells when they differentiate to plasma cells. Here, we show that in the B cells, whose capacity to… Expand
In vivo discovery of immunotherapy targets in the tumour microenvironment
- P. Zhou, Donald R. Shaffer, +17 authors K. Wucherpfennig
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 6 February 2014
Recent clinical trials showed that targeting of inhibitory receptors on T cells induces durable responses in a subset of cancer patients, despite advanced disease. However, the regulatory switches… Expand
The systemic response to surgery triggers the outgrowth of distant immune-controlled tumors in mouse models of dormancy
- Jordan A Krall, F. Reinhardt, +8 authors R. Weinberg
- Medicine
- Science Translational Medicine
- 11 April 2018
Anti-inflammatories prevent surgery-induced outgrowth of distant tumors in mouse models and may reduce early metastatic relapse in patients. Can wound healing worsen metastasis? Relatively early… Expand
Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein lipidation and control of CD1d on antigen-presenting cells
- S. Dougan, A. Salas, +9 authors R. Blumberg
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of experimental medicine
- 15 August 2005
Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP), an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone that loads lipids onto apolipoprotein B, also regulates CD1d presentation of glycolipid antigens in the liver… Expand
IAP inhibitors enhance co-stimulation to promote tumor immunity
- M. Dougan, S. Dougan, +11 authors G. Dranoff
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of experimental medicine
- 27 September 2010
The inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) have recently been shown to modulate nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling downstream of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family receptors, positioning them as… Expand
Anti–CTLA-4 therapy requires an Fc domain for efficacy
- Jessica R Ingram, Olga S. Blomberg, +15 authors M. Dougan
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 26 March 2018
Significance Ipilimumab, an antibody that recognizes cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen (CTLA)-4, was the first approved “checkpoint”-blocking anticancer therapy. In mice, the response to antibodies… Expand
Sortase-catalyzed transformations that improve the properties of cytokines
- M. Popp, S. Dougan, Tzu-Ying Chuang, E. Spooner, H. Ploegh
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 4 February 2011
Recombinant protein therapeutics often suffer from short circulating half-life and poor stability, necessitating multiple injections and resulting in limited shelf-life. Conjugation to polyethylene… Expand
