NKG2D and Related Immunoreceptors.
NK cells are crucial components of the innate immune system, capable of directly eliminating infected or tumorigenic cells and regulating down-stream adaptive immune responses. Unlike T cells, where the key recognition event driving activation is mediated by the unique T cell receptor (TCR) expressed on a given cell, NK cells express multiple activating and inhibitory cell-surface receptors (NK...
متن کاملImmunoreceptors: evolution, structure and therapeutic applications.
The 'Immunoreceptors' meeting took place in July 2012 in beautiful Snowmass Village in Colorado, USA. At an altitude of more than two kilometres, researchers and clinicians discussed the molecular aspects of immunoreceptors, ranging from B- and T-cell receptors, to complement and Fc receptors.
متن کاملInnate immune recognition by stimulatory immunoreceptors.
The speci®city of cells of the innate immune system is determined in part by various stimulatory receptors that function in different forms of immune recognition. NKG2D, a stimulatory receptor expressed by natural killer (NK) cells, macrophages and certain T cell subsets, recognizes various families ofìnduced-self' ligands. The ligands are distantly related to class I MHC molecules and are indu...
متن کاملCARs: Synthetic Immunoreceptors for Cancer Therapy and Beyond.
Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are versatile synthetic receptors that provide T cells with engineered specificity. Clinical success in treating B-cell malignancies has demonstrated the therapeutic potential of CAR-T cells against cancer, and efforts are underway to expand the use of engineered T cells to the treatment of diverse medical conditions, including infections and autoimmune disease...
متن کاملIntegrins, macrophages, and sarcoidosis.
T he article by Striz et al in this issue of Chest (see page 882) examines @32 integrin and ICAM-1 ex pression on human alveolar macrophages in patients with sarcoidosis and in control subjects. To put this interesting article in context, a brief overview of the background leading to this work is necessary. The cell population recovered by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) from normal lungs is predo...
