Protein structure analysis of the interactions between SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and the human ACE2 receptor: from conformational changes to novel neutralizing antibodies

Ivan Mercurio et al.

Summary: The recent COVID-19 pandemic has led to a global health emergency and calls for the scientific community to identify new tools for diagnosis and treatment. In silico analysis has provided insights into conformational changes of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and potential antibodies that could target it to prevent virus invasion into human cells. This analysis also offers guidance for developing new vaccines and treatments based on targeting the spike protein.

Recognition of the antigen-presenting molecule MR1 by a Vd3+ δd T cell receptor

Michael T. Rice et al.

Summary: This study identifies Vδ1/2(-) γδ T cells in the blood and duodenal biopsy specimens of children that bind to MR1 tetramers in a metabolite-independent manner. Characterization of a Vδ3Vγ8 TCR clone shows that MR1 reactivity is independent of the presented antigen. The binding of the Vδ3(+) TCR to MR1 is not antigen-dependent, which sheds light on its inherent MR1 autoreactivity and strengthens the understanding of antibody-like ligand engagement by gamma delta TCRs.

Proposal for the designation of the natural killer antigens-positive γδ T-cell subset as γδ NKT-cells: nomenclature based on immunoprofile

Yoshinobu Matsuo et al.

Summary: NKT cells can be classified into alpha beta or gamma delta type based on TCR gene expression. WHO did not further subdivide NKT-cell malignancies based on TCR types. Gamma delta T-cells, stimulated by Zoledronic acid, have distinct features compared to alpha beta NKT-cells, and should be classified as gamma delta NKT-cells to differentiate them clearly.

The Genomic Organisation of the TRA/TRD Locus Validates the Peculiar Characteristics of Dromedary δ-Chain Expression

Serafina Massari et al.

Summary: The research found that compared to other animals, the number of variable genes in camel γδ T cells is lower, but it is still able to be expanded and diversified through somatic hypermutation mechanisms. In addition, the multiple insertions of D genes contribute to the increased diversity of camel δ chain antigen binding sites.
