The paper identifies E-sensors, HLA-E-restricted CD8+ T cells that recognize increased self-VL9/HLA-E, mediating immunoregulation and antiviral responses in HIV control.

The paper identifies a durable, diverse GC-independent memory B cell population that provides rapid protection from influenza challenges.

The paper identifies an NK-like KIR CD8 T cell subset as a key feature of exceptional HIV control, complementing networked epitope targeting for immunotherapeutic strategies.

This study examines how the duration of initial HIV-1 viremia affects the functional properties of HIV-specific T cell receptors in individuals with HLA-B*58:01.

This study shows that SLAMF6 is essential for CD8+ T cells to form synapses and kill HIV-1-infected CD4+ T cells, as blocking SLAMF6 reduces conjugate formation and cytotoxicity.

The paper investigates how DNA methylation and nucleosomal occupancy regulate CXCR5 expression in human lymph node CD8+ T cells, identifying epigenetic mechanisms that repress CXCR5 in non-follicular CD8+ T cells.

The paper uses single-cell RNA-sequencing to study immune dynamics in HIV-1 infection, identifying key cellular responses and their temporal progression in untreated individuals.
