    Metabolic shift induced by systemic activation of T cells in PD-1-deficient mice perturbs brain monoamines and emotional behavior

    Fagarasan and colleagues show that excessive activation of T cells in mice deficient in the inhibitory receptor PD-1 causes a systemic decrease in tryptophan and tyrosine, which leads to deficiency in serotoni...

    Loss of neuronal 3D chromatin organization causes transcriptional and behavioural deficits related to serotonergic dysfunction

    The interior of the neuronal cell nucleus is a highly organized three-dimensional (3D) structure where regions of the genome that are linearly millions of bases apart establish sub-structures with specialized ...

    Separate domains of AID are required for somatic hypermutation and class-switch recombination

    Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is essential for class-switch recombination (CSR) and somatic hypermutation (SHM). Mutants with changes in the C-terminal region of AID retain SHM but lose CSR activ...

    AID mutant analyses indicate requirement for class-switch-specific cofactors

    Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is the essential and sole B cell–specific factor required for class-switch recombination (CSR) and somatic hypermutation (SHM). However, it is not known how AID diff...

    Th1/Th2 cytokine profiles and their relationship to clinical features in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection

    An imbalance in helper T-cell type 1 (Th1) and type 2 (Th2) cytokines is suggested to play an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic viral infections, but this issue is not resolved in patients with he...
