T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire data contain information about infections that could be used in disease diagnostics and vaccine development, but extracting remains a major challenge. Here we developed statistical framework to detect TCR clone proliferation contraction from longitudinal data. We applied this three pairs of identical twins immunized with the yellow fever vaccine. identified 600 1,700 responding TCRs each donor validated them using independent assays. While were mostly...

The fusion gene MLL/AF4 defines a high-risk subtype of pro-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Relapse can be associated with lineage switch from to myeloid leukemia, resulting in poor clinical outcomes caused by resistance chemotherapies and immunotherapies. In this study, the relapses shared oncogene breakpoints their matched lymphoid presentations originated various differentiation stages immature progenitors through committed B-cell precursors. Lineage switching is linked substantial changes...

High-throughput sequencing of adaptive immune receptor repertoires is a valuable tool for receiving insights in immunity studies. Several powerful TCR/BCR repertoire reconstruction and analysis methods have been developed the past decade. However, detecting correcting discrepancy between real experimentally observed lymphocyte clone frequencies are still challenging.

Abstract A straightforward, practical, and atom‐economical three‐component synthesis of phosphoryl thioamides from phosphinic chlorides, elemental sulfur, aliphatic amines has been developed. The scope limitations this transformation have investigated. This protocol is distinguished by metal‐ organic solvent‐free conditions, high tolerance to various functional groups; it can be adapted for scaled‐up synthesis. magnified image

The development and implementation of vaccines have been growing exponentially, remaining one the major successes healthcare over last century. Nowadays, active regular immunizations prevent epidemics many viral diseases, including tick-borne encephalitis (TBE). Along with generation virus-specific antibodies, a highly effective vaccine should induce T cell responses providing long-term immune defense. In this study, we performed longitudinal high-throughput receptor (TCR) sequencing to...

Abstract Background Retroelements (REs) occupy a significant part of all eukaryotic genomes including humans. The majority retroelements in the human genome are inactive and unable to retrotranspose. Dozens active copies repressed most normal tissues by various cellular mechanisms. These can become germline brain or cancer, leading new retroposition events. consequences such events their role cell functioning carcinogenesis not yet fully understood. If insertions occur small portion cells...
