Impact of methotrexate and adalimumab on immune function of patients with psoriasis

Tanja Todberg et al.

Summary: Methotrexate has minimal effect on cytokine responses, while adalimumab affects a wide range of cytokines involved in immune defense. The cytokine levels in patients receiving long-term adalimumab treatment are almost equivalent to those receiving short-term treatment.

Immune Profiling Enables Stratification of Patients With Active Tuberculosis Disease or Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection

Darragh Duffy et al.

Summary: TruCulture method can effectively distinguish active tuberculosis from latent infection by stimulating blood samples, providing a more accurate diagnosis for TB cases. The ratio between Mtb antigen and BCG IFN can further improve the stratification of TB diagnosis.

Primary Human Dendritic Cells and Whole-Blood Based Assays to Evaluate Immuno-Modulatory Properties of Heat-Killed Commensal Bacteria

James E. Norton et al.

Summary: Mounting evidence suggests the critical role of microbiome in training and maturation of host immune system, with microbiome perturbation correlated with sub-optimal host responses to vaccines and cancer immunotherapy. This study demonstrates the ability of primary human immune cells to stratify and differentiate different strains of commensal bacteria, using both in vitro and ex vivo culture systems. The findings suggest that these primary systems are robust and enable identification of commensal bacteria as potential modulators of host immunity.

Functional immune reconstitution early after allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation: A comparison of pre- and post-transplantation cytokine responses in stimulated whole blood

Lars Klingen Gjaerde et al.

Summary: This study aimed to use a novel standardized whole-blood stimulation system to evaluate differences in functional immune reconstitution in patients early after allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Pre-HCT cytokine responses were generally decreased, while post-HCT responses were higher and less correlated, indicating potential immune deficiency.

Stimulated Immune Response by TruCulture(R) Whole Blood Assay in Patients With European Lyme Neuroborreliosis: A Prospective Cohort Study

Mathilde Orbaek et al.

Summary: In this exploratory study on patients with Lyme neuroborreliosis, it was found that the circulating cytokine concentrations in their blood at the time of diagnosis were lower than the reference values. Although the stimulated cytokine release in patients with Lyme neuroborreliosis was slightly lower than in the references, specific patterns of low IL-12 and IFN-gamma indicated a decreased immune response, while low concentrations of IL-17A did not support a strong Th17 response.
