    Antiviral CD8+ T-cell immune responses are impaired by cigarette smoke and in COPD - 8 month(s) ago

    Cigarette smoke impairs virus-induced upregulation of the MHC class I antigen presentation machinery resulting in reduced activation of antiviral CD8+ T-cells. This may reduce viral clearance and increase susceptibility to viral exacerbations in COPD. https://bit.ly/43o0p3D

      Antiviral #immune responses are impaired by 🚭 cigarette smoke and in #COPD! Researchers at @HelmholtzMunich analyzed the effects of #cigarette smoke on cytokine- and virus-mediated induction of the immunoproteasome. 🔓 Learn more at @ERSpublications | https://t.co/Evetvqv2fb https://t.co/I3zDaTqYtT

    CD4+ T cells regulate sickness-induced anorexia and fat wasting during a chronic parasitic infection - 9 month(s) ago

    Redford et al. demonstrate that that CD4+ and CD8+ T cells have distinct contributions for the pathogenesis of fat and lean stores wasting, respectively, during a chronic parasitic infection. While fat wasting has no role in host defense, muscle wasting is important for disease tolerance and survival.

      💡 Why do infections cause loss of fat and muscle stores? @SalkInstitute researchers including @SamRedford1 examined the role of the adaptive #immune response in adipose tissue wasting and cachexia during a chronic parasitic infection. 📘 @CellReports | https://t.co/81tm5ITU8a https://t.co/EWnJc7Rtev

    An immunostimulatory glycolipid that blocks SARS-CoV-2, RSV, and influenza infections in vivo - Nature Communications - 9 month(s) ago

    7DW8-5 is a glycolipid that binds CD1d and stimulates invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells. Here the authors show that 7DW8-5, when administered intranasally, provides prophylactic anti-viral effects against influenza, RSV, and SARS-CoV-2 in mice or hamsters, and that this effect is mediated by iNKT cells and IFN-γ.

      🥼 Dr. Moriya Tsuji of @cuimc_id and collaborators evaluated a NK #Tcell-stimulatory agent for respiratory virus infections. A glycolipid, 7DW8-5, was reported to exploit the host innate #immune system to enable rapid control of viral infections. 📑 https://t.co/vvVdmWqPAo https://t.co/NmDMn8xZFf
