DGKα is required to prevent immune-mediated mortality in LCMV Clone 13 infection.
Immunopathologic host death in DGKα knockout is predominantly CD8 T cell mediated.
Depleting DGKα−/− CD8 T cells rescues mice from mortality in LCMV Clone 13 infection.
STAT1 Controls the Functionality of Influenza-Primed CD4 T Cells but Therapeutic STAT4 Engagement Maximizes Their Antiviral Impact
STAT1 protects influenza-primed CD4 T cells from NK cell–mediated deletion.
STAT1 but not STAT4 is needed for Th1 and Th17 functionality in antiviral CD4 T cells.
Engaging STAT1 and STAT4 during priming maximizes protective CD4 T cell capacity.

African Swine Fever Virus HLJ/18 CD2v Suppresses Type I IFN Production and IFN-Stimulated Genes Expression through Negatively Regulating cGMP-AMP Synthase–STING and IFN Signaling Pathways
ASFV CD2v binds to STING and inhibits STING translocation to the Golgi apparatus.
CD2v disrupts IFNAR1-TYK2 and IFNAR2-JAK1 interactions to inhibit IFN-I response.

Platelet-derived sTLT-1 plays a crucial role in mediating septic immune dysfunction.
sTLT-1 induces immune activation followed by immune suppression through TLR4/MD2.
Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor in Hepatic Endothelial Cells Suppresses MCP-1–Dependent Monocyte Recruitment in Diabetes
Endothelial EGFR controls MCP-1 production and inflammation.

Pericentral hepatocyte p50 activation drives CRP induction.
Lipoteichoic Acid Inhibits Lipopolysaccharide-Induced TLR4 Signaling by Forming an Inactive TLR4/MD-2 Complex Dimer
LTA inhibited TLR4-mediated signaling independently of TLR2.
The inhibition of TLR4-mediated signaling was abrogated by the addition of serum or albumin.
LTA promoted formation of inactive TLR4/MD-2 complex dimers.
MOLECULAR AND STRUCTURAL IMMUNOLOGY
Dephosphorylation of T517 on Hemocyanin Is Required for Antibacterial Activity in Penaeus vannamei

On the cover: Tracking decidual immune cell migration through the choriodecidual immune interface organ-on-chip (CDI-OOC). Decidual (maternal) cells along with CD45+ immune cells (FITC–live stained) and chorion trophoblast cells were cocultured in CDI-OOC. Maternal to fetal migration of immune cells through microchannels interconnecting the cells was monitored over a 24 h period. Richardson, L., E. Radnaa, R. C. V. Lintao, R. Urrabaz-Garza, R.
