lymphocytes

Immune receptor repertoire profiling is an important analytic tool for disease research in many areas, including cancer, cell and organ transplantation, autoimmunity, and infectious disease. 

By editing primary T cells with CRISPR, researchers begin to settle a long-standing debate about a common autoimmunity risk variant.

Scientists isolate rare yet desirable CAR T cell subtypes using an innovative cell sorter system within a closed manufacturing process.

A high-fat diet induced changes to the animals’ vaginal microbiomes that boosted survival after exposure to the virus.

Discover a better method for consistent TIL isolation and characterization from tumor samples.

New research in mice reveals why natural killer cells, normally effective at hunting cancer, are sometimes stopped in their tracks.  

A career-altering experience as a cancer patient motivated one researcher to design more potent immunotherapies.

An accumulation of T cells and astrocytes in postmortem brain tissue hints at possible autoimmune origins for many cases of autism.

A rogue hybrid lymphocyte, bearing characteristics of both B and T cells, may play a role in driving autoimmunity in the disease, although the mechanism is far from clear.

In response to short DNA fragments, lymphocytes release mitochondrial DNA that helps trigger an immune response.

At low doses, resveratrol enhanced human T-cell activity in vitro, while at high doses it interfered with cell signaling. 

Two types of memory T cells can preserve immunological memories for more than a decade, a study shows. 

Much of the CD4+ T-cell death that occurs during HIV infection may be caused by direct delivery of the virus from neighboring cells, a study shows.

Researchers find evidence to suggest why an enzyme crucial for fighting off malaria infection is linked to a form of lymphoma.

Mice have been cloned from single drops of blood taken from their tails using the same technology that produced Dolly the sheep.
