Pattern Recognition by Toll-like Receptors
The mammalian immune system senses pathogens through pattern recognition receptors and responds with activation. The Toll-like receptors (TLRs) that are expressed on antigen presenting cells such as macrophage...

TLR9-Mediated Recognition of DNA
The mammalian immune system senses pathogens through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and responds with activation. The Toll-like receptor (TLR) family that consists of 13 receptors plays a critical role i...

Toll-erating self DNA
Discrimination between self and bacterial DNA has been attributed in part to differential modification of prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA. However, cellular localization of innate DNA receptors may be even more...

Crystal structure of the murine NK cell–activating receptor NKG2D at 1.95 Å
NKG2D, a homodimeric lectin-like receptor, is a unique stimulatory molecule that is found on natural killer cells, T cells and activated macrophages. The natural ligands for murine NKG2D are distant major hist...

Role of perforin, granzymes and the proliferative state of the target cells in apoptosis and necrosis mediated by bispecific-antibody-activated cytotoxic T cells
Bispecific monoclonal antibodies (bi-mAb), directed against a tumor-associated antigen and the CD3 or CD28 antigen on T lymphocytes, induce activation of resting T lymphocytes and target-specific tumor cell l...

HLA-A2-restricted peripheral blood cytolytic T lymphocyte response to HPV type 16 proteins E6 and E7 from patients with neoplastic cervical lesions
The DNA from human papillomavirus (HPV) can be detected in 90% of cervical carcinomas. To address whether patients infected with HPV can mount efficient T cell responses to this pathogen we examined the cytot...
