Comparative analysis of targeted long read sequencing approaches for characterization of a plant's immune receptor repertoire

University of North Carolina plant immunologist Jeff Dangl says plants have many immune receptors with unknown functions: «There may be a vast listening apparatus just waiting to be discovered.»

They also discovered that changes in a single gene encoding an important immune receptor lead to decreased inflammation only in Europeans.

«The strategy of using peptides that mimic regions of a human immune receptor, to put the brakes on the excessive inflammatory response triggered by superantigen toxins, is a host - oriented strategy that is broadly effective against the diverse family of superantigens,» said Prof. Raymond Kaempfer.

In a 3 - D brain model, Zika virus activates immune receptor TLR3, which in turn inhibits brain cell development and survival, causing the organoids to shrink — an effect reminiscent of microcephaly.

Recent research has identified the innate immune receptor genes TREM2 and CD33 / SIGLEC3 as particularly relevant to Alzheimer's disease.

In 2008, he joined the group of Caetano Reis e Sousa at the Cancer Research UK (CRUK) London Research Institute and later joined the Francis Crick Institute, where he was awarded Marie Curie and EMBO long - term postdoctoral fellowships to investigate innate immune receptors and signaling pathways that trigger dendritic cell activation and drive T - cell responses against viruses or tumors.

This live cell assay features a cell line expressing the innate immune receptor, Toll - like receptor - 2 (TLR2).
