Cytokines: Characteristics, Applications, and Quantitative Analysis
Cytokines represent a class of small protein molecules that exhibit diverse biological activities. These molecules are synthesized and secreted primarily by immune cells (including monocytes, macrophages, T cells, B cells, and NK cells) as well as certain non-immune cells (such as endothelial cells, epidermal cells, and fibroblasts) upon specific stimulation. Cytokines play pivotal roles in ...

IL-2 and IL-2 Receptor Series: Pioneering Solutions for Immunotherapy Research
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a 15kDa secretory protein with a 4-alpha-helical bundle structure. As a T-cell related growth factor, IL-2 can enhance the killing activity of NK cells and promote B cells to produce immunoglobulins. In addition, it aids in the development of regulatory T cells (Tregs), thereby producing peripheral T cell immune tolerance, as well as regulating the proliferation and ...

Introduction of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)
Polyethylene glycol (PEG), a compound composed of repeated ethylene glycol units [-(CH2CH2O)n], is also known as Macrogols. PEG and PEG derivatives have the characteristics of non-irritation, good water solubility, good compatibility, etc. . At the same time, they possess excellent lubricity, moisture retention and dispersibility so that they can be used as adhesives, antistatic agents and ...

A Natural Polysaccharide-based Bioadhesive for Wound Repair Found
Hundreds of millions of people suffer skin tissue damage every year, including accidental injury, surgical injury, chronic ulcer, etc., and severe cases may lead to amputation or even life-threatening. Suturing is currently the preferred method for clinically closing wounds. However, wound suturing takes a long time during the operation, and removing the stitches will cause secondary damage to ...

What are Vero cells?
Vero cellsare a continuous adherent cell line that is frequently used in cell culture and plays an important role in worldwide vaccine and vector production (manufacturing). Unlike other mammalian cells, they do not secrete interferon alpha or beta when infected by viruses – this is one of the reasons that efficient replication of many viruses can be achieved in Vero cells, ...

Going beneath the surface of skin cancer - Case study
Summary In this Cell Patterns publication, Ozette co-founders and collaborators at the Cancer Immunotherapy Trials Network (CITN) outline a novel method of analysis of single cell data, FAUST, and validate the multiple potential applications. The paper tackles 2 important problems: 1) analysis of complex single cell datasets; 2) prediction of response to immunotherapy in cancer. Manual ...

Oral mucosal immunotherapy for allergic rhinitis: A pilot study
Abstract Background: The sublingual mucosa has been used for many years to apply allergenic extracts for the purpose of specific immunotherapy (IT). Although sublingual IT (SLIT) is both safe and efficacious, the density of antigen-presenting cells is higher in other regions of the oral cavity and vestibule, which make them a potentially desirable target for IT. Objective: To present the concept ...

Cytokine Storms and Viral Infections
Cytokines are small soluble proteins that are secreted by immune cells and tissue cells to play a regulatory role between cells, including interferon (IFN), interleukin (IL), chemokines, colony-stimulating factors (CSF), tumor necrosis factors (TNF) and so on. Cytokines function in autocrine, paracrine or endocrine forms, and can regulate cell growth and differentiation, modulate immune response ...

Effect of interferon receptor pathway on CAR-T cell-mediated killing of solid tumors
Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have found that interferon gamma receptor (IFNgR) signaling is essential for the susceptibility of CAR-T cell immunotherapy to kill malignant gliomas. The same phenomenon has been observed in other solid tumors. The findings may partially explain why liquid and solid tumors respond very differently to CAR-T cell therapy. Chimeric antigen ...

The ins and outs of TCR-T cell therapy
Adoptive cell transfer (ACT) therapy is one of the most effective therapeutic options for tumor immunotherapy that is currently emerging in clusters. Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) and engineered T cell receptors (TCRs) are the main adoptive immunotherapies in recent years. TCR-engineered T cells express tumor antigen-specific receptors with alpha and beta chains generated from high-quality, ...

Inflammatory Cytokines Profile
Cytokines are classified according to their different roles in the inflammatory response: pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Pro-inflammatory Cytokines Interleukin-1 (IL-1) IL-1 is a proinflammatory cytokine that activates a variety of immune and inflammatory cells and is secreted mainly by monocytes/macrophages, neutrophils and endothelial cells. IL-1 consists of two ...

What Are the Cytokines?
Cytokines are a class of small molecule proteins secreted by cells that mediate and regulate immune processes, and they act in an autocrine, paracrine and endocrine manner. More than 200 types of human cytokines have been identified, which can be generally classified into interleukins, interferons, tumor necrosis factors, colony-stimulating factors, chemokines, growth factors, etc. according to ...

Targeted Therapy of Intracellular Oncoproteins by Peptide-centered CAR T Cells
Researchers at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have made a breakthrough in the treatment of aggressive solid cancers, and they have developed a new cancer treatment that targets proteins within tumor cells that are essential for tumor growth and survival, but this has not been possible before. Using the power of large data and advanced computational methods, researchers can ...

ELife: T Interferon Suppresses Inflammatory Diseases by Balancing the Microbiome
The maintenance of immune homeostasis involves a synergistic relationship between the host and the microbiome. Canonical interferon (IFN) signaling controls the response to acute microbial infection through the involvement of STAT1 transcription factors. However, the contribution of tonic levels of interferon to immune homeostasis in the absence of acute infection remains largely unexplored. The ...

Coronavirus: continued updates in basic research, vaccine development and testing
Researchers have delved further into our understanding of coronavirus, while the race to develop a vaccine continues. New advances in coronavirus understanding New research has put paid to some of the conspiracy theories surrounding coronavirus. A team comprising researchers from both the US, Australia and the UK has analyzed the receptor-binding domain (RBD) and the cleavage site present on ...
