Underwhelming the Immune Response: Effect of Slow Virus Growth on CD8+-T-Lymphocyte Responses

Bocharov, Gennady, Ludewig, Burkhard, Bertoletti, Antonio, Klenerman, Paul, Junt, Tobias, Krebs, Philippe, ...

The speed of virus replication has typically been seen as an advantage for a virus in overcoming the ability of the immune system to control its population growth. Under some circumstances, the...

Immunoprivileged status of the liver is controlled by Toll-like receptor 3 signaling

Lang, Karl S., Georgiev, Panco, Recher, Mike, Navarini, Alexander A., Bergthaler, Andreas, Heikenwalder, Mathias, ...

The liver is known to be a classical immunoprivileged site with a relatively high resistance against immune responses. Here we demonstrate that highly activated liver-specific effector CD8+ T cells...

CC Chemokine Receptor 7–dependent and –independent Pathways for Lymphocyte Homing: Modulation by FTY720

Henning, Golo, Ohl, Lars, Junt, Tobias, Reiterer, Phillip, Brinkmann, Volker, Nakano, Hideki, ...

Cognate interaction of chemokine receptor CCR7 on lymphocytes with its ligands CCL19 and CCL21 expressed on high endothelial venules (HEVs) is essential for effective migration of T and B cells...

Overexpression of Lymphotoxin in T Cells Induces Fulminant Thymic Involution

Heikenwalder, Mathias, Prinz, Marco, Zeller, Nicolas, Lang, Karl S., Junt, Tobias, Rossi, Simona, ...

Activated lymphocytes and lymphoid-tissue inducer cells express lymphotoxins (LTs), which are essential for the organogenesis and maintenance of lymphoreticular microenvironments. Here we describe...
