From:Journal of Biomedical Semantics (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged healthcare systems and research worldwide. Data is collected all over the world and needs to be integrated and made available to other researchers quickly. However, the...

From:PLoS Pathogens (Vol. 13, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedA number of nonclassical MHC Ib molecules recognizing distinct microbial antigens have been implicated in the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). HLA-E has been identified to present numerous Mtb...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 9, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedMycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guerin (M. bovis BCG), the only currently available vaccine against tuberculosis, has been reported to induce regulatory T cells in humans. The activity of regulatory T cells may...

From:PLoS Pathogens (Vol. 12, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedB-cells not only produce immunoglobulins and present antigens to T-cells, but also additional key roles in the immune system. Current knowledge on the role of B-cells in infections caused by intracellular bacteria is...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 6, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Yellow fever vaccination (YF-17D) can cause serious adverse events (SAEs). The mechanism of these SAEs is poorly understood. Older age has been identified as a risk factor. We tested the hypothesis that...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 10, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedIntracellular cytokine staining combined with flow cytometry is one of a number of assays designed to assess T-cell immune responses. It has the specific advantage of enabling the simultaneous assessment of multiple...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 8, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedBiomarker host genetic signatures are considered key tools for improved early diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) disease (development). The analysis of gene expression changes based on a limited number of genes or single...

From:PLoS Pathogens (Vol. 6, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedTuberculosis (TB) is an escalating global health problem and improved vaccines against TB are urgently needed. HLA-E restricted responses may be of interest for vaccine development since HLA-E displays very limited...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 6, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedDetermining what constitutes protective immunity to TB is critical for the development of improved diagnostics and vaccines. The comparison of the immune system between contacts of TB patients, who later develop TB...

From:Journal of Clinical Investigation (Vol. 128, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedThe lack of defined correlates of protection hampers development of vaccines against tuberculosis (TB). In vitro mycobacterial outgrowth assays are thought to better capture the complexity of the human...

From:PLoS Pathogens (Vol. 11, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedMycobacterial antigens are not exclusively presented to T-cells by classical HLA-class Ia and HLA-class II molecules, but also through alternative antigen presentation molecules such as CD1a/b/c, MR1 and HLA-E. We...
