SLAMF9 belongs to the conserved lymphocytic activation molecule family (SLAMF). Unlike other SLAMs, which have been extensively studied, the role of SLAMF9 in the immune system remained mostly unexplored. By generating CRISPR/Cas9 SLAMF9 knockout mice, we analyzed the role of

We investigated the usefulness of the minimum ADC value of primary breast lesions for predicting axillary lymph node (LN) status in luminal A-like breast cancers with clinically negative nodes in comparison with the mean ADC. Forty-four luminal A-like breast cancers

mRNA vaccines are rapidly emerging as a powerful platform for infectious diseases because they are well tolerated, immunogenic, and scalable and are built on precise but adaptable antigen design. We show that two immunizations of modified non-replicating mRNA encoding influenza

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a major risk factor for prolonged humoral immunodeficiency and vaccine unresponsiveness after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). However, the underlying mechanisms for this immunodeficiency are poorly understood. In this article, we describe previously overlooked impacts

In this study, we investigated the response of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) during the pathogenesis of an immunoblinding disease of the cornea caused by HSV type 1 infection. We also measured the anti-inflammatory potential of in vitro-differentiated MDSCs in dampening
O-Linked glycoproteins are usually large proteins with a molecular mass of >200 kDa. Glycosylation generally occurs in high-density clusters and may represent as much as 50-80% of the overall mass.
