Epithelial cells remove precancerous cells by cell competition via MHC class I–LILRB3 interaction. Nature Immunology , 2021; 22 (11): 1391 DOI: 10.1038/s41590-021-01045-6 Cite This Page : ...

This epithelial MHC-II is essential for localizing and scripting highly specialized immune cells called resident memory T (TRM) lymphocytes inside the lungs, according to the scientists who ...

In addition to showing that lung epithelial cells use MHC-II to organize the immune system in the lung, the study also reveals two unexpected findings that grew out of the main discovery.

In a new paper appearing in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, a leading scientific publication in the field of research on skin and connective tissue, The Hormel Institute, University of ...

AT2 cells are epithelial cells in the lung parenchyma that produce surfactant and promote cell renewal. Previous studies of AT2 MHC-II expression and function have varied widely, and as a result ...

To play their part in the generation of effective adaptive immune responses, different types of antigen-presenting cell (APC) take up and process antigen in different ways. The length of time that ...

One of the SARS-CoV-2 proteins known to play a role in MHC-I suppression is Orf8. This accessory protein is commonly mutated in variants of concern, leading Moriyama et al. to analyze the ...

Adaptative immune response mediated by NKG2D receptor and its ligand NKG2DL could be the clue for CD8-expressing “killer” T cells to kill tumors lacking the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) ...
