DEC-205 is a cell surface receptor for CpG oligonucleotides

We have recently demonstrated that synthetic CpG oligonucleotides (ODNs), which function as potent immunostimulators, bind to the multi-lectin receptor DEC-205, resulting in their internalization. DEC-205-deficient mice exhibit impaired dendritic-cell and B-cell maturation, impaired cytokine responses and suboptimal cytotoxic T-cell responses. As murine and human DEC-205 are highly conserved, C...

T Lymphocytes in AIDS Patients With Tuberculosis

CD 4 + and CD 8 + T lymphocyte counts, naive and memory/effector CD 4 + T subpopulations, and the expression of CD 38 on CD 8 + T lymphocytes were evaluated in four groups: AIDS patients with tuberculosis (HIV/TB, n=14), HIV-1 infected patients (HIV, n=10), HIV-1 negative patients with tuberculosis (TB, n=20) and healthy controls (CTL, n=17). TB and HIV had fewer CD 4 + T cells than CTL, with t...

Cytotoxic T-Cell Markers and Cytokines in Human Papillomavirus 16

Background and Aim: Cervical cancer is the fourth main cause of mortality among women, and annually about half a million new cases are detected in developed countries. Based on oncological studies, human papillomavirus (HPV) is classified into two categories: high-risk type and low-risk type, and most cases are related to the high-risk type of human papillomavirus. HPV 16 and 18 are among the m...
