Key Points TNF is required for mycobacteria-induced upregulation of MINCLE and DECTIN-2. Inhibition of TNF in vivo abrogates Th17 responses by a MINCLE-dependent adjuvant.
Key Points Recombinant L. monocytogenes primes accumulation of ZIKV-specific CD8+ T cells. ZIKV levels are reduced in recombinant Listeria–primed mice. Expanded CD8+ T cells neither improve nor worsen clinical susceptibility.
Key Points Mucus limits oral protein Ag OVA from disseminating into the general circulation. Mucus helps shield developing thymocytes from selection by the oral Ag OVA.
Key Points Hypercapnia increases lung injury and mortality in mice infected with influenza A. Hypercapnia inhibits antiviral responses and increases influenza replication in MØs. Hypercapnic suppression of the MØ antiviral response is mediated by Akt1.
Key Points Ag potency and ITK control graded IRF4 expression. Altered kinetics of NFAT activation provide a mechanism linking ITK and IRF4.
Key Points FCRL4 recognizes systemic J chain–linked IgA. FCRL4 recognition of J chain–linked IgA can be inhibited by secretory component. Primary FCRL4+ memory B cells are decorated with systemic J chain–linked IgA.
Key Points In murine autoimmunity, IL-23 promotes Tfh–IL-17 and suppresses Tfh–IFN-. Lack of IL-23 leads to lower IgG2b class switch in murine autoimmunity. Il17ra gene expression is synchronized with GC program genes used to initiate CSR.
Key Points Stimulation-based profiling defined genotype- and cell-specific Atg16L1 programs. Cell type and stimulation strongly influence Atg16L1 T300A genotypic differences. Genotype- and stimulation-dependent lipid metabolism genes impair mucosal immunity.
Key Points Myelin-specific CD8 T cells must sense their own IFN- to optimally inhibit EAE. IFN-R–/– CD8s exhibit less IFN-, granzyme B, and CD107a and exhibit potential killing defects. IFN-R–/– CD8s exhibit less CXCR3 and decreased migration to the CNS upon transfer.
Key Points A large proportion of immunity-relevant anti-Salmonella Abs bind O Ags. Accessibility of shared O Ags is critical for cross-protection with Abs. O Ags of Salmonella may be involved in host–pathogen interaction.
Key Points Serum BK-des-arg-9 is significantly elevated in mice and patients with lupus. A similar but less pronounced increase is also noted in RA serum. Increased conversion of BK to proinflammatory BK-des-arg-9 may mediate nephritis.
Key Points HSV-specific CD8+ T cells from HSV-1–infected symptomatic patients are exhausted. Blocking of LAG-3 and PD-1 synergistically restored anti-HSV CD8+ T cell responses. LAG-3 and PD-1 blockade reduced recurrent ocular herpes in HSV-1–infected mice.
Key Points Th17 cells are associated with renal dysfunction and IL-27 suppresses these cells. IL-27R limits renal fibrosis after UUO.
Key Points Postinfluenza IPA can be effectively modeled in mice. Neutrophil recruitment to the lung is decreased in postinfluenza IPA. STAT1 signaling increases susceptibility to postinfluenza IPA.
Key Points P2Y6 deficiency enhances DC-mediated Th1/Th17 differentiation. P2Y6 deficiency aggravates the pathogenesis of EAE.
Key Points NK cells exhibit enhanced proinflammatory phenotype in 3xTg-AD mice. Depletion of NK cells enhances cognitive function of 3xTg-AD mice. Depletion of NK cells alleviates neuroinflammation in 3xTg-AD mice.
Key Points Calcitriol downregulates MerTK expression in human macrophages and microglia. Calcitriol inhibits MerTK-mediated phagocytosis of myelin and apoptotic T cells. Inflammation increases CYP27B1-mediated metabolism of 25OHD and MerTK inhibition.
Key Points Absence of tetraspanin CD53 restricts neutrophil transmigration. CD53-deficient neutrophils show alterations in α3 integrin expression and trafficking. Serum-transfer arthritis is delayed in CD53-deficient mice.
Key Points Anti-HMGB1 neutralizing IgM autoantibody exists normally in healthy humans and mice. In mice, B-1 cells produce the Ab in response to extracellular HMGB1.
Key Points Oxidation of Cys-containing peptides can inhibit MHC binding and T cell responses. Effects of inhibiting oxidation of Cys-containing peptides on binding and recognition are detailed.

Abstract Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is one of the most abundant and widely used pesticides in the world. CPF has detrimental effects on brain tissue, so it is possible to generate some neurodegenerative diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of CPF on inducing the Parkinson’s disease affecting on central nervous system. 6 to 8-week-old animals were categorized into three groups. The first group was normal control which the animals did not received any treatment, while...
Abstract The rubber-hand illusion is an illusion where a person embodies a rubber hand as if it were their own. After embodiment, many studies have threatened the false hand and measured physiological responses to the threat for the purposes of verification. For the first time, we tested if embodiment of the false hand could be modulated with a fearful stimulus already present prior to the elicitation of the illusion. This was done by having a live huntsman spider placed on top...
