Guiding blind T cells and dendritic cells: A closer look at fibroblastic reticular cells found within lymph node T zonesSanjiv A Luther
Department of Biochemistry, University of Lausanne, 1066 Epalinges, Switzerland
Immunol Lett 138:9-11. 2011..This review is focused on the recent progress made in our understanding of the fibroblastic reticular stromal cells that form the 'niches' within the T zone...
CCL21 is sufficient to mediate DC migration, maturation and function in the absence of CCL19Mirjam R Britschgi
Department of Biochemistry, University of Lausanne, Epalinges, Switzerland
Eur J Immunol 40:1266-71. 2010..Our findings suggest that CCL21 is the critical CCR7 ligand regulating DC homeostasis and function in vivo with CCL19 being redundant for these processes...
Dynamic regulation of notch 1 and notch 2 surface expression during T cell development and activation revealed by novel monoclonal antibodiesEmma Fiorini
Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research Ltd, Lausanne Branch, 1066 Epalinges, Switzerland
J Immunol 183:7212-22. 2009..Furthermore they provide an important resource for future analysis of Notch receptors in various tissues including the hematopoietic system...
Association of T-zone reticular networks and conduits with ectopic lymphoid tissues in mice and humansAlexander Link
Department of Biochemistry, University of Lausanne, Epalinges, Switzerland
Am J Pathol 178:1662-75. 2011..In conclusion, TRCs and conduits are hallmarks of secondary lymphoid organs and of well-developed TLTs, in both mice and humans, and are likely to act as important scaffold and organizer cells of the T-cell-rich zone...
Novel function for interleukin-7 in dendritic cell developmentTobias K Vogt
Department of Biochemistry, University of Lausanne, Epalinges, Switzerland
Blood 113:3961-8. 2009....
Dynamic modulation of CCR7 expression and function on naive T lymphocytes in vivoMirjam R Britschgi
Department of Biochemistry, University of Lausanne, Epalinges, Switzerland
J Immunol 181:7681-8. 2008..We propose that these two states of CCR7 are important to allow the various functions CCR7 plays in T cell recirculation...
Fibroblastic reticular cells in lymph nodes regulate the homeostasis of naive T cellsAlexander Link
Department of Biochemistry, University of Lausanne, 1066 Epalinges, Switzerland
Nat Immunol 8:1255-65. 2007..Our data suggest that lymph nodes and T zone fibroblastic reticular cells have a key function in naive CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell homeostasis by providing a limited reservoir of survival factors...
Fibroblastic reticular cells from lymph nodes attenuate T cell expansion by producing nitric oxideStefanie Siegert
Department of Biochemistry, University of Lausanne, Epalinges, Switzerland
PLoS ONE 6:e27618. 2011..Our findings highlight that in addition to their established positive roles in T cell responses FRC and DC cooperate in a negative feedback loop to attenuate T cell expansion during acute inflammation...
Recirculating CD4 memory T cells mount rapid secondary responses without major contributions from follicular CD4 effectors and B cellsSanjiv A Luther
Department of Biochemistry, University of Lausanne, Epalinges, Switzerland
Eur J Immunol 37:1476-84. 2007..Accelerated memory CD4 T cell responses were also seen in B cell-deficient mice...
Cutting edge: thymic crosstalk regulates delta-like 4 expression on cortical epithelial cellsEmma Fiorini
Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, Lausanne Branch, University of Lausanne, Epalinges, Switzerland
J Immunol 181:8199-203. 2008..Collectively, our data support a model where thymic crosstalk quantitatively regulates the rate of Notch1-dependent thymopoiesis by controlling DL4 expression levels on cTEC...
Expression and function of interleukin-7 in secondary and tertiary lymphoid organsHsin Ying Huang
Department of Biochemistry, University of Lausanne, Chemin des Boveresses 155, Epalinges, Switzerland
Semin Immunol 24:175-89. 2012..Finally, we will review the role of IL-7 in development of SLO and tertiary lymphoid tissues that frequently are associated with sites of chronic inflammation...
Positive and negative regulation of T cell responses by fibroblastic reticular cells within paracortical regions of lymph nodesStefanie Siegert
Department of Biochemistry, University of Lausanne Epalinges, Switzerland
Front Immunol 3:285. 2012..However, during an acute response, FRC limit excessive expansion and inflammatory activity of antigen-specific T cells. This negative feedback loop may help to maintain tissue integrity and function during rapid organ growth...
Preferential infection of immature dendritic cells and B cells by mouse mammary tumor virusSonia Vacheron
Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, Lausanne Branch, University of Lausanne, Epalinges, Switzerland
J Immunol 168:3470-6. 2002..These results highlight the importance of professional APC and efficient T cell priming for the establishment of a persistent infection by mouse mammary tumor virus...
