โœฆ Synopsis

A chronic immune response usually ends up producing collateral damage to the body as well as attacking the pathogen, but regulatory T cells (Treg) limit such damage. Acute infections can produce very vigorous immune reactions that are also capable of producing significant collateral damage, so does the same mechanism exist there? Yes, according to Piersma et al., who show that pathogen-specific Treg are induced in acute viral infections in healthy humans. IL-10 is essential in limiting collateral damage during an immune

Autophagy, a tightly regulated homeostatic pro-survival mechanism, has also been implicated in pathogen recognition and clearance by macrophages as part of the innate immune response. In the May issue of EJI, Mitroulis et al. shed light into the role of autophagy in human neutrophil biology, associa

Human genetic variation is associated with common traits and common diseases, and recent findings demonstrate the presence of population-specific copy number variations (CNVs), particularly those that involve genes of relevance for diseases and drug metabolism. Whilst representing a significant deve

The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris has become a platform for producing heterologous recombinant proteins of pharmaceutical importance, thanks to its ability to reproduce posttranslational modifications similar to those of higher eukaryotes. The groups of Sang Yup Lee and Diethard Mattanovich p

To gain a deeper understanding of evolutionary genetic history and an appreciation of conserved genomic regions of functional significance, Zhang et al. report a comparative analysis of human genome sequence with those of the chimpanzee and the recently sequenced Neanderthal. They identify pathogeni

Activation-induced deaminase (AID) deaminates cytosines within the immunoglobulin loci, providing the trigger for both class-switching and IgV somatic hypermutation. Intriguingly, hyper-IgM patients carrying mutations in the C-terminal region of AID retain the ability to hypermutate their IgV genes,
