IFNγ from activated CD4⁺ T cells is a key driver of B‑cell differentiation and autoantibody production in IMQ‑induced lupus mice. IFNγ deficiency dramatically reduced disease features, a promising immune pathway for future SLE therapies. vist.ly/5dp9p
🔬 New research suggests that individuals exposed to Mycobacterium tuberculosis without developing active disease have stronger IgA and IgG antibody responses than TB patients. High salivary IgA levels also point to an important role for mucosal immunity in TB protection. vist.ly/5cuf7
🔬 New evidence suggests β-tubulin 5 (TBB5) is unlikely to be the pANCA target in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), narrowing the search for the underlying autoantigen. 📖 vist.ly/5c73w #Immunology #Autoimmunity
🧬 New insight into rituximab resistance: CD40L and IL-4 shield B cells from NK cell-mediated killing via the HLA-E/NKG2A and HLA/KIR inhibitory pathways. Targeting these checkpoints could enhance B-cell depletion in autoimmune disease. 📖 vist.ly/5c37t
🧬 Targeting TIM pathways in RA? In a murine arthritis model, blockade of TIM-1 or TIM-3 reduced disease severity, inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-17A, TNF-α), and joint damage, highlighting both receptors as promising therapeutic targets in rheumatoid arthritis. 📖 vist.ly/5btfj
Crohn’s disease lesions show enrichment of CD4⁺CD39⁺ TCRαβ⁺ TEM cells producing IL‑17/IL‑21 and terminally differentiated TCR Vδ1⁺ cells producing TNF‑α/IFN‑γ. Distinct inflammatory roles point to Vδ1⁺ cells as a potential therapeutic target. 📄vist.ly/5bipi
Despite elevated KLR and mitochondrial gene expression, Tregs in autoimmune PAI show normal frequency and suppressive function, suggesting limited involvement in disease pathogenesis. 📄 vist.ly/5ba6v
Important CIDP research shows significant changes in circulating B‑cell subsets and elevated IL10/TNFA expression, correlating with disability scores and nerve fiber density. Valuable insights for understanding disease activity. 📄 vist.ly/5b74h
This study highlights 2B4 (CD244) as a key receptor driving Staphylococcus aureus–associated allergic inflammation. SEB binds and activates 2B4, amplifying eosinophil responses, pointing to a promising therapeutic target. 📄 vist.ly/5aser
🧬 Research shows newborn immunity differs sharply from adults: NK cells and ILCs are functionally mature at birth, while NKT‑like cells are far less abundant and less active. Important context for understanding early‑life infection risk. 🔗 vist.ly/5ag5y
Type 1 Diabetes arises from a loss of immune tolerance. Our article explores how hyperglycaemia and immunometabolic changes may influence regulatory T cell function, offering new insights into disease mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities. 🔗 vist.ly/5adnr
