STING agonist-based treatment promotes vascular normalization and tertiary lymphoid structure formation in the therapeutic melanoma microenvironment by Walter J Storkus, Ronald J Fecek, Manoj Chelvanambi, Jennifer L Taylor

“…Therapeutic responses resulting from intratumoral STING activation were characterized by improved VN, enhanced tumor infiltration by CD8+ T cells and CD11c+ DCs and local TLS neogenesis, all of which were dependent on host expression of STING. Consistent with a central role for DC in TLS formation, ADU S-100-activated mCD11c+ DCs also exhibited upregulated expression of TLS promoting factors including lymphotoxin-α (LTA), interleukin (IL)-36, inflammatory chemokines and type I interferons in vitro and in vivo. …”

Large-scale screening of HIV-1 T-cell epitopes restricted by 12 prevalent HLA-A allotypes in Northeast Asia and universal detection of HIV-1-specific CD8+ T cells by Yan Ding, Jialai Yan, Ling Huang, Jinhong Yu, Yandan Wu, Chuanlai Shen, Anning Fang

“…BackgroundAlthough the immune response of host T cells to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) significantly influences the progression of the infection, the development of T-cell-based vaccines and therapies, as well as the clinical evaluation of specific T-cell functions, is currently markedly hindered by the absence of broad-spectrum, functionally validated HIV T-cell epitopes that account for the polymorphisms of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) within an indicated geographic population. …”
