Epitope-specific immunotherapies have enabled the targeted treatment of a variety of diseases, ranging from cancer, infection, and autoimmune disorders. For CD8 T cell-based therapies, the precise identification of immunogenic peptides presented by human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I is essential which can be achieved by immunopeptidomics. Here, using lentivirus-mediated transduction and cell sorting approaches, we present a method to engineer a cell line that does not express its native HLA but instead expresses an HLA of interest (in this instance HLA-A*02:01). This technique can be used to elucidate the immunopeptidome of cell lines expressing different HLAs.

The β-adrenergic receptor (βAR), a prototype G protein-coupled receptor, controls cardiopulmonary function underpinning O delivery. Abundance of the βAR is canonically regulated by G protein-coupled receptor kinases and β-arrestins, but neither controls constitutive receptor levels, which are dependent on ambient O. Basal βAR expression is instead regulated by the prolyl hydroxylase/pVHL-E3 ubiquitin ligase system, explaining O responsivity.

Cell death mechanisms play a fundamental role in mycobacterial pathogenesis. We critically reviewed 94 research manuscripts, 44 review articles, and 4 book chapters to analyze important discoveries, background literature, and potential shortcomings in the field. The focus of this review is the pathogen (Mtb) and other Mtb and complex microorganisms.

Vitamin B12 is a vital water-soluble vitamin containing a central cobalt atom within its corrin ring structure. It exists in several derivatives, among which methylcobalamin (MeCbl) and adenosylcobalamin (AdCbl) are the biologically active forms that serve as cofactors in essential enzymatic reactions. Although the neurological and hematological consequences of vitamin B12 deficiency have been extensively studied, its role in immune regulation remains less well understood.

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and the voltage-gated potassium channel Kv1.3 are closely associated with breast cancer progression and apoptosis regulation, respectively. NPY receptors (NPYRs), which are overexpressed in breast tumors, contribute to tumor growth, migration, and angiogenesis.
