The article discusses recent research in the field of antiviral immunity based on the original research paper "IL-21 is required to control chronic viral infection," by H. Elsaesser. K. Sauer, and D.G. Brooks that was published in the May 7, 2009 issue of "Science." The article mentions T cells, viral infections, and lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV).
The article presents abstracts of papers on immunology including "HIV-1 envelope protein binds to and signals through integrin α4β7, the gut mucosal homing receptor for peripheral T cells," by J. Arthos and colleagues, and "Macrophage and T cell dynamics during the development and disintegration of mycobacterial granulomas," by J.G. Egen.
The article presents abstracts of papers on immunology including "Ozone exposure in a mouse model induces airway hyperactivity that requires the presence of natural killer T cells and IL-17," by M. Pichavant and colleagues, and "Repression of the transcription factor Th-POX by Runx complexes in cytotoxic T cell development," by R. Setoguchi and colleagues.
The article focuses on research on immune responses, regulatory T cells and T-cell signaling. Papers discussed which were published in other periodicals include "Dendritic Cell Stimulation By Mycobacterial Hsp70 is Mediated Through CCR5," by R. A. Floto et al and "Alterations in CD46-Mediated Tr1 Regulatory T Cells in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis," by A. L. Astier et al.
Presents an update on papers related to immunology as of January 2003. Role of a peptide in the activation of natural killer cells; Discovery of the non-T-cell activation linker; Adaptor involved in Toll-like receptor signaling.
