Accumulating evidence suggests that many immune responses are influenced by local nutrient concentrations in addition to the programming of intermediary metabolism within immune cells. Humoral immunity and germinal centers (GC) are settings in which these factors are under active investigation. Hypoxia is an example of how a particular nutrient is distributed in lymphoid follicles during an antibody response, and how oxygen sensors may impact the qualities of antibody output after immunization. Using exclusively a bio-informatic analysis of mRNA levels in GC and other B cells, recent work challenged the concept that there is any hypoxia or that it has any influence. To explore this proposition, we performed new analyses of published genomics data, explored potential sources of disparity, and elucidated aspects of the apparently conflicting conclusions. Specifically, replicability and variance among data sets derived from different naïve as well as GC B cells were considered. The results highlight broader issues that merit consideration, especially at a time of heightened focus on scientific reports in the realm of immunity and antibody responses. Based on these analyses, a standard is proposed under which the relationship of new data sets should be compared to prior "fingerprints" of cell types and reported transparently to referees and readers. In light of independent evidence of diversity within and among GC elicited by protein immunization, avoidance of overly broad conclusions about germinal centers in general when experimental systems are subject to substantial constraints imposed by technical features also is warranted.Venoms are complex mixtures of toxic compounds delivered by bite or sting. In humans, the consequences of envenomation range from self-limiting to lethal. Critical host defence against envenomation comprises innate and adaptive immune strategies targeted towards venom detection, neutralisation, detoxification, and symptom resolution. In some instances, venoms mediate immune dysregulation that contributes to symptom severity. This review details the involvement of immune cell subtypes and mediators, particularly of the dermis, in host resistance and venom-induced immunopathology. We further discuss established venom-associated immunopathology, including allergy and systemic inflammation, and investigate Irukandji syndrome as a potential systemic inflammatory response. Finally, this review characterises venom-derived compounds as a source of immune modulating drugs for treatment of disease.

Immunotherapy shows efficacy in only a subset of melanoma patients. Here, we intended to construct a risk score model to predict melanoma patients' sensitivity to immunotherapy.

Integration analyses were performed on melanoma patients from high-dimensional public datasets. The CD8+ T cell infiltration related genes (TIRGs) were selected

TIMER and CIBERSORT algorithm. LASSO Cox regression was performed to screen for the crucial TIRGs. Single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) and ESTIMATE algorithm were used to evaluate the immune activity. The prognostic value of the risk score was determined by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis.

184 candidate TIRGs were identified in melanoma patients. Based on the candidate TIRGs, melanoma patients were classified into three clusters which were characterized by different immune activity. Six signature genes were further screened out of 184 TIRGs and a representative risk score for patient survival was constructed based on these six signature genes. The risk score served as an indicator for the level of CD8+ T cell infiltration and acted as an independent prognostic factor for the survival of melanoma patients. By using the risk score, we achieved a good predicting result for the response of cancer patients to immunotherapy. Moreover, pan-cancer analysis revealed the risk score could be used in a wide range of non-hematologic tumors.

Our results showed the potential of using signature gene-based risk score as an indicator to predict melanoma patients' sensitivity to immunotherapy.

We investigated the whole-blood transcriptome and microbiome prior to immunization, in order to assess their involvement in induction of humoral responses two months later. We based our analyses on stool and skin microbiota, and blood transcriptome prior to immunization, in a randomized clinical study in which participants were vaccinated with the MVA-HIV clade B vaccine (MVA-B). MEK inhibitor We found that the levels of neutralizing antibody responses were correlated with abundance of Eubacterium in stool and Prevotella in skin. In addition, genus diversity and bacterial species abundance were also correlated with the expression of genes involved in B cell development prior to immunization and forecast strong responders to MVA-B. To our knowledge, this is the first study integrating host blood gene expression and microbiota that might open an avenue of research in this field and to optimize vaccination strategies and predict responsiveness to vaccines.The presence of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in skin is important in controlling inflammatory responses in this peripheral tissue. Uninflamed skin contains a population of relatively immotile Tregs often located in clusters around hair follicles. Inflammation induces a significant increase both in the abundance of Tregs within the dermis, and in the proportion of Tregs that are highly migratory. The molecular mechanisms underpinning Treg migration in the dermis are unclear. In this study we used multiphoton intravital microscopy to examine the role of RGD-binding integrins and signalling through phosphoinositide 3-kinase P110δ (PI3K p110δ) in intradermal Treg migration in resting and inflamed skin. We found that inflammation induced Treg migration was dependent on RGD-binding integrins in a context-dependent manner. αv integrin was important for Treg migration 24 hours after induction of inflammation, but contributed to Treg retention at 48 hours, while β1 integrin played a role in Treg retention at the later time point but not during the peak of inflammation.
