CD4+/CD25+ T cells suppress autologous CD4+/CD25‐ lymphocytes and secrete granzyme B during acute and chronic hepatitis C
ConclusionPatients having Acute and Chronic Hepatitis C have a higher Treg frequency and function in peripheral blood than healthy controls or those resolve the infection in acute phase secreting GZB, likely inducing apoptosis.This article is protected by copyright.

Prior to Foxp3+ regulatory T‐cell induction, interleukin‐10‐producing B cells expand after Helicobacter pylori infection
Abstract Regulatory T (Treg) cells play a critical role in Helicobacter pylori immune evasion and persistent infection. In addition to Treg cells, it is still unknown whether a newly defined B‐cell subset, interleukin (IL)‐10‐producing B cells, is involved. Using a mouse model of H. pylori infection, we investigated the dynamic changes of IL‐10‐producing B cells and Foxp3+ Treg cells in gastrointestinal mucosa, spleen and mesenteric lymph nodes following H. pylori infection. We observed that in addition to Foxp3+ Treg cells, IL‐10‐producing B cells could also be induced after H. pylori infection and they e...

Reassessing the role of the secreted protease CPAF in Chlamydia trachomatis infection through genetic approaches
Abstract The secreted Chlamydia protease CPAF cleaves a defined set of mammalian and Chlamydia proteins in vitro. As a result, this protease has been proposed to modulate a range of bacterial and host cellular functions. However, it has recently come into question the extent to which many of its identified substrates constitute bona fide targets of proteolysis in infected host cell rather than artifacts of postlysis degradation. Here, we clarify the role played by CPAF in cellular models of infection by analyzing Chlamydia trachomatis mutants deficient for CPAF activity. Using reverse genetic approaches, we identified two ...
