[Abstract] Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS), which is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS). It is characterized by focal demyelination and inflammatory responses mediated by myelin-specific autoreactive CD4+ T cells. Using a passive transfer model of EAE in mice, we have ...

[Abstract] Cellular barcoding enables the dissection of clonal dynamics in heterogeneous cell populations through single cell lineage tracing. The labeling of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) with unique and heritable DNA barcodes, makes it possible to resolve donor cell heterogeneity in terms of differentiation potential and lineage bias at the ...

[Abstract] CD4+ T cell responses have been shown to be protective in many respiratory virus infections. In the respiratory tract, CD4+ T cells include cells in the airway and parenchyma and cells adhering to the pulmonary vasculature. Here we discuss in detail the methods that are useful for characterizing CD4+ T cells in different anatomic locations in mouse ...

[Abstract] Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is present in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and functions as pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) (Whitfield and Trent, 2014). LPS therefore is a potent activator of inflammatory responses leading to cytokine release and neutrophils recruitment. The lipid A moiety of LPS activates the complex ...

[Abstract] In response to pathogen infection and tissue damage, inflammasome sensors such as NLRP3 and AIM2 are activated, which triggers PYRIN domain (PYD)-mediated ASC nucleation, followed by self-perpetuating ASC polymerization, which ultimately culminates in caspase-1 activation, interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 processing and release and pyroptosis (Ratsimandresy ...
