Purpose CAR-T cell therapy has proven to be a disruptive treatment in the hematology field, however, less than 50% of patients maintain long-term response and early predictors outcome are still inconsistently defined. Here, we aimed optimize detection CD19 cells blood identify phenotypic features as biomarkers associated with toxicity outcomes. Experimental design In this study, monitoring by flow cytometry digital PCR (dPCR), immunophenotypic characterization circulating from 48 treated...
Background: Persistent controllers (PC) maintain antiretroviral-free HIV-1 control indefinitely over time while transient (TC) eventually lose virological control. It is essential to characterize the quality of HIV reservoir these phenotypes identify factors that lead progression and open new avenues in cure strategies. Methods: The characterization reservoir, from peripheral blood mononuclear cells, was performed using next-generation sequencing techniques, such as full-length individual...
The immune factors associated with impaired SARS-CoV-2 vaccine response in elderly people are mostly unknown. We studied individuals older than 60 and younger years, who had been vaccinated BNT162b2 mRNA, before after the first second dose. Aging was a lower anti–RBD IgG levels decreased magnitude polyfunctionality of SARS-CoV-2–specific T cell response. dramatic decrease thymic function > which fueled alteration homeostasis, their CD161+ were 2 months vaccination. Additionally, deficient DC...
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) sense viral and bacterial products through Toll-like receptor (TLR)-7 -9 translate this sensing into Interferon-α (IFN-α) production T-cell activation. The understanding of the mechanisms involved in pDCs stimulation may contribute to HIV-cure immunotherapeutic strategies. objective present study was characterize immunomodulatory effects TLR agonist stimulations several HIV-1 disease progression phenotypes non infected donors.pDCs, CD4 CD8 T-cells were...
Abstract SARS‐CoV‐2 specific T‐cell response has been associated with disease severity, immune memory and heterologous to endemic coronaviruses. However, an integrative approach combining a comprehensive analysis of the quality antibody levels in these three scenarios is needed. In present study, we found that, acute infection, while mild was high polyfunctionality biased IL‐2 production inversely correlated anti‐S IgG levels, combinations only including IFN‐γ absence perforin predominated...
We evaluated the safety and viral rebound, after analytical treatment interruption (ATI), of vedolizumab ART in recent HIV-1 infection. used this model to analyze impact α4β7 on reservoir size. Participants started with monthly Vedolizumab infusions ATI was performed at week 24. Biopsies were obtained from ileum caecum baseline levels, reservoir, flow cytometry cell-sorting antibody competition experiments assayed. safe well-tolerated. No participant achieved undetectable viremia off 24...
Some HIV controllers experience immunologic progression with CD4+ T cell decline. We aimed to identify genetic factors associated lost in controllers. A total of 561 were included, 442 and 119 from the International Study Cohort Swiss Study, respectively. No SNP or gene was long-term non-progressor spontaneous control phenotype individual GWAS meta-analysis. However, SNPs previously natural linked HLA-B (rs2395029 [p = 0.005; OR 1.70], rs59440261 0.003; 1.78]), MICA (rs112243036 0.011;...

Sclerotic chronic GVHD (scGVHD) is characterized by progressive skin fibrosis and frequent refractoriness to available therapies. Aberrant activation of Hedgehog signaling in dermal fibroblasts has been implicated scGVHD. Here, we report the results two phase I/II studies (NCT03415867, GETH-TC; NCT04111497, FHD) that evaluated glasdegib, a smoothened antagonist, as novel therapeutic agent refractory scGVHD.Adult patients with active scGVHD after ≥1 (FHD) or ≥2 (GETH-TC) lines therapy were...
Human CD300a is known to promote the infection by dengue and other enveloped viruses overexpressed on CD4 + T cells from HIV-1-infected patients. We found that infected CD4+RA− untreated patients were mostly CD300a+. Furthermore, expressing healthy donors significantly more HIV-1 in vitro than CD300a− cells. might represent a biomarker of susceptibility memory lymphocytes.
