Tumours escape the immune system by mutating to decrease their immunogenicity. In this study, now in @NatureComms, we described that immune cells can adapt to IFNg-driven escape, enhancing their fitness and thereby counteracting tumour escape nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Specificity defines adaptive immunity. Yet we've never comprehensively tested how differences in the epitopes human T cells recognize correlate with disease risk. I explore why in this review & argue we now have the tools to change it 🧵1/12 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Excited to announce our study (w/ @RukmanThota & @MaxKrummel) published today @Nature:
Macrophages “hold our living identities” by taking tiny bites from living cells and presenting this information to CD8 T cells.

How lytic cell death drives autoantigen release and fuels inflammation? With @lynndustinlab we ask this using a common autoantigen, TRIM21. The autoantigen TRIM21 assembles proinflammatory immune complexes after lytic cell death | Science Immunology science.org/eprint/VEVN4EQK8…
I always struggled to find the OT-I TCR affinity values for the OVA peptide and altered peptides. Here are the updated Kd values!

For our #flowcytometry peeps, would you like to have a single fix/perm protocol that is optimised for everything? One that preserves fluorophores while allowing simultaneous TF and cytokine staining? How about 100-fold cheaper? You got it:

Exhausted T cells impede immune response in cancer. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, especially CTLA-4 blockade, show promise in rejuvenating T cell function for cancer immunotherapy. Gracie Jennah Mead writes.

Our new work led by our fantastic PhD student Jose (@j__cabezas) showing dramatic reductions in TCR-T cell cross-reactivity without modifying the TCR.
Part of this work relied on SPR-based @carterra_bio to measure 163 TCR/pMHC affinities within 24 hours at 37 degrees.
I am excited to share the results from my PhD project at the @Dushek lab and my first first-author manuscript!
Generation of T cells with reduced off-target cross-reactivities by engineering co-signalling receptors.

Wonderful study from @Dushek lab that is a real breakthrough. I think they've solved 1/2 the problem of TCR cross-reactivity.
They can make the (in)famous A3A TCR (that resulted in lethal cardiac toxicity) completely safe!
Go read it to understand how!

For the first time, Kennedy Institute researchers have discovered the cellular basis of why some people respond to IBD treatment while others do not.
