Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy in higher eukaryotes

Daniel J. Klionsky, +235 more
- 16 Feb 2008 - 
TL;DR: A set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of the methods that can be used by investigators who are attempting to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as by reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that investigate these processes are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inducible Nitric Oxide Is Essential for Host Control of Persistent but Not Acute Infection with the Intracellular Pathogen Toxoplasma gondii

TL;DR: Early resistance to Toxoplasma gondii infection was ablated by neutralization of IFN-γ or IL-12 in vivo and markedly diminished by depletion of neutrophils, demonstrating the existence of previously unappreciated NO independent mechanisms operating against the parasite during early infection.

A novel role for HMGB1 in TLR9-mediated inflammatory responses to CpG-DNA Running title: Mechanism of TLR9 activation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified HMGB1 as a CpG-ODN-binding protein, which interacts and pre-associates with TLR9 in the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC), and hastens TLR 9's redistribution to early endosomes in response to CpGs-ODNs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Requirement for Tec Kinases Rlk and Itk in T Cell Receptor Signaling and Immunity

TL;DR: The authors showed that deletion in mice of two Tec kinases, Rlk and Itk, caused marked defects in TCR responses including proliferation, cytokine production, and apoptosis in vitro and adaptive immune responses to Toxoplasma gondii in vivo.
