Pentelute Pfizer-Laubach Career Development Professor of Chemistry Abstract The immune system distinguishes self from non-self to combat pathogenic incursions. Evasion tactics deployed by viruses, microbes, or malignant cells may impede an adequate response. In such cases, therapeutic interventions aid in the elimination of pathogens and the restoration of physiological homeostasis. A major road block in the development of such therapies is the reliance on imperfect detection methods to identify site(s) of infection, or to monitor immune cell recruitment to sites of infection or inflammation in vivo.

  • Cell Biology from an Immune Perspective in This Lecture We Will
    Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology HST.176: Cellular and Molecular Immunology Course Director: Dr. Shiv Pillai Cell Biology from an Immune Perspective In this lecture we will very briefly review some aspects of cell biology which are required as background knowledge in order to understand how the immune system works. These will include: 1. A brief overview of protein trafficking 2. Signal transduction 3. The cell cycle Some of these issues will be treated in greater depth in later lectures. Protein Trafficking/The Secretory Pathway: From an immune perspective the secretory compartment and structures enclosed by vesicles are “seen” in different ways from proteins that reside in the cytosol or the nucleus. We will briefly review the secretory and endocytic pathways and discuss the biogenesis of membrane proteins. Some of the issues that will be discussed are summarized in Figures 1-3. Early endosomes Late endosomes Lysosomes Golgi Vesiculo-Tubular Compartment ER Figure 1. An overview of the secretory pathway Early endosomes Late endosomes Multivesicular and multilamellar bodies Golgi ER Proteasomes Figure 2. Protein degradation occurs mainly in lysosomes and proteasomes Proteins that enter the cell from the environment are primarily degraded in lysosomes. Most cytosolic and nuclear proteins are degraded in organelles called proteasomes. Intriguingly these two sites of degradation are each functionally linked to distinct antigen presentation pathways, different kinds of MHC molecules and the activation of different categories of T cells. Integral membrane proteins maybe inserted into the membrane in a number of ways, the two most common of these ways being considered in Figure 3.

Whereas CD8ϩ T cells in peripheral lymphoid organs use CD8␣ր␤ and are selected on MHC class Ia molecules, a majority of iIELs use CD8␣ր␣. Here, we report that the presence of CD8␣ր␣ TCR-␣ր␤ cells in iIELs is independent of classical MHC class I molecules Kb and Db, as illustrated by their presence in Kb/Db double-knockout mice and in mice lacking a nonclassical MHC class I molecule, CD1d. Most strikingly, their in mice lacking transporter associated with antigen processing %70ف presence is decreased by (TAP). The TAP-dependent nonclassical MHC class I molecule Qa-2 is strongly implicated in the presence of these cells, as inferred from the low numbers of CD8␣ր␣ TCR-␣ր␤ T cells in mice deficient in Qa-2 genes.

In the immunosup- of an anti-CD47 VHH by CAR T cells improves engagement of the pressive solid tumor environment, CAR T cells encounter obstacles innate immune system, enables epitope spreading, and can enhance that compromise their efficacy. We developed a strategy to address the antitumor response.

CAR T cells can be further mals. VHHs are small in size and able to avoid domain swapping engineered to simultaneously secrete multiple modalities, allowing when multiple nanobodies are expressed simultaneously—features for even greater tailoring of the antitumor immune response.
