Nanoscale restructuring of the immune synapse with an engager enhances NK cell function | PNAS Engagers are antibody-based therapies which bind immune cell receptors and a target cell ligand. Next-gen engagers typically bind two activating re...

'Superresolution microscopy has revealed a nanoscale rearrangement of NK cell receptors at the cell surface upon cellular activation. An emerging idea is that the activation and inhibition of immune cells is influenced by the nanoscale proximities of receptor clusters'

Molecular characterization of the archaic HLA-B*73:01 allele reveals presentation of a unique peptidome and skewed engagement by KIR2DL2 HLA class I alleles of archaic origin may have been retained in modern humans because they provide immunity against diseases to which archaic humans had evolved resistance. According to this model, ar...

Study Identifies How Malaria Can Lead to Childhood Cancer  - AAI News New data in The Journal of Immunology uncovered the role of malaria in the development of Burkitt lymphoma, the most common childhood cancer in equatorial Africa and New Guinea.

Data in @jimmunol.bsky.social revealed the role of #malaria in Burkitt lymphoma, the most common childhood cancer in equatorial Africa and New Guinea. Reducing malaria could also reduce Burkitt #lymphoma said @rosemaryroch4d, who led the study @cuanschutz.bsky.social. Learn more: ow.ly/tTKg50VI6qR.
