Article Abstract
Follicular helper CD4 T cells (T) are a major cellular pool for the maintenance of the HIV reservoir. Therefore, the delineation of the follicular (F)/germinal center (GC) immune landscape will significantly advance our understanding of HIV pathogenesis. We have applied multiplex confocal imaging, in combination with the relevant computational tools, to investigate F/GC in situ immune dynamics in viremic (vir-HIV), antiretroviral-treated (cART HIV) People Living With HIV (PLWH) and compare them to reactive, non-infected controls. Lymph nodes (LNs) from viremic and cART PLWH could be further grouped based on their T cell densities in high-T and low-T subgroups. These subgroups were also characterized by different in situ distributions of PD1 T cells. Furthermore, a significant accumulation of follicular FOXP3CD4 T cells, which were characterized by a low scattering in situ distribution profile and strongly correlated with the cell density of CD8 T cells, was found in the cART-HIV low-TFH group. An inverse correlation between plasma viral load and LN GrzBCD8 T and CD16CD15 cells was found. Our data reveal the complex GC immune landscaping in HIV infection and suggest that follicular FOXP3CD4 T cells could be negative regulators of T cell prevalence in cART-HIV.

Introduction: The immunophenotypic analysis of inflammatory cells in the tumor microenvironment of regressing melanomas is object of ongoing debate. On the other hand, benign halo nevi paradigmatically show marked inflammation. Characterizing these immune profiles can provide insights into the local immune response, its pathogenesis, and differential diagnosis.

Human papillomavirus-mediated recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a premalignant neoplasia of the upper airway characterized by significant dysphonia and respiratory obstruction. Immune checkpoint blockade has emerged as a potential alternative to repeated surgical interventions in RRP. Here, we investigated the intralesional T-cell composition and expression of the immune checkpoints programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) in RRP.

Background: During the last decade, more attention was paid to the tumor cell microenvironment, especially to tumor stroma-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). This study aimed to assess the prognostic impact of different TILs subpopulations and PD-L1 positive tumor cells in localized lung adenocarcinomas.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study, which included localized adenocarcinomas diagnosed in the department of pathology and resected in the Thoracic Surgery Department of the same hospital between 2015 and 2020.

Natural killer (NK) cells can control metastasis through cytotoxicity and IFN-γ production independently of T cells in experimental metastasis mouse models. The inverse correlation between NK activity and metastasis incidence supports a critical role for NK cells in human metastatic surveillance. However, autologous NK cell therapy has shown limited benefit in treating patients with metastatic solid tumors.
