IL-4–STAT6 signaling delays protective CD8+ T cell bystander activation by antagonizing IL-18 sensing - Nature Immunology
Abstract Memory CD8+ T (Tmem) cells are activated into innate-like killers by cytokines, including interleukin-12 (IL-12), IL-15 and IL-18; but mechanisms regulating this phenomenon (termed bystander activation) are unclear. Here we show that basal IL-4 signals antagonize IL-18 sensing and subsequent interferon-γ production during Tmem cell bystander activation.
Characterization of low copy number human angiotensin-convertase 2 (hACE2)-transgenic mice as an improved model of SARS-CoV-2 infection
Abstract Coronaviridae are significant human pathogens, as evidenced by several outbreaks of severe respiratory infections in the past 20 years and culminating with the COVID-19 pandemic. Mouse models of COVID-19 have included transgenic expression of the main SARS coronavirus entry receptor on human cells, human angiotensin-convertase 2 (hACE2). However, the original hACE2-Tg mouse strain overexpresses many copies of the transgene, leading to neuropathology not representative of human infection.
