J‐LEAPS peptide and LEAPS dendritic cell vaccines
The J-LEAPS vaccines contain a peptide from β-2-microglobulin covalently attached to disease-related peptides of 8-30 amino acids which contain a T cell epitope. The J-LEAPS vaccines can initiate a protective Th1 immune response or modulate an ongoing Th17 autoimmune response to the peptide. J-LEAPS vaccines activate and direct the nature of the subsequent immune response by promoting the matur...
متن کاملJ-LEAPS vaccines elicit antigen specific Th1 responses by promoting maturation of type 1 dendritic cells (DC1)
The J-LEAPS peptide vaccine platform allows development of vaccines that elicit antigen specific Th1 immune responses to the incorporated antigenic peptide by promoting the maturation of mouse and human precursors into type 1 dendritic cells (DC1). CD8 T cell epitopes are covalently attached to the J-immune cell binding ligand through a tri-glycine linker. J-LEAPS peptide vaccines have been tes...
متن کاملEnzyme leaps fuel antichemotaxis
There is mounting evidence that enzyme diffusivity is enhanced when the enzyme is catalytically active. Here, using superresolution microscopy [stimulated emission-depletion fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (STED-FCS)], we show that active enzymes migrate spontaneously in the direction of lower substrate concentration ("antichemotaxis") by a process analogous to the run-and-tumble foraging...

A study of kinesin-1 has shed new light on how motor proteins are able to move along microtubules inside cells.
متن کاملPeptide and dendritic cell vaccines.
There has been a rush to convert discovery of new melanoma antigens into cancer vaccines for the therapy of melanoma. The result has been disappointing from a clinical standpoint. The premise behind rapid pursuit of peptide vaccines for melanoma therapy was that the spontaneous tumor-associated immune response was too weak to be effective. However, it is increasingly clear that the host-tumor r...
