Article Title: TL1A-DR3 plasma levels are predictive of HIV-1 disease control, and DR3 co-stimulation boosts HIV-1-specific T-cell responses
doi: 10.4049/jimmunol.2000933
Figure Lengend Snippet: sTL1A (A) and sDR3 (B) relative plasma levels (Z-score “communicome” values) in HIV-High (n=47) and HIV-Low (n=49) (Table S1). C-D) Gene expression (Table S1) of TL1A (C) and DR3 (D) in HIV-High (n=16) and HIV-Low (n=30). E-F) Unrelated validation cohorts for gene expression of TL1A (E) and DR3 (F) in dry pellet PBMC samples from seronegatives (SN, n=6) and HIV-infected individuals one year before and after initiation of treatment (untreated [n=11] and treated [n=5]) and in LTNP (n=23) (Table S1). G) Absolute DR3 quantifications in plasma (ELISA) in a confirmatory cohort including seronegatives (SN, n=8) and samples from time points one year before and after initiation of treatment (untreated [n=15] and treated [n=10]) and controllers (n=31), Table S1). The Mann-Whitney test was applied for group comparisons, and p-values < 0.05 were considered significant.
Article Snippet: Then, we co-stimulated the cells with 100 ng/ml of sTL1A (Recombinant Human TL1A/TNFSF15, R&D systems), 500 ng/ml of sDR3 (Recombinant Human DR3/TNFRSF25 Fc Chimera Protein, R&D systems), and /or 100 ng/ml of mAb anti-DR3 (Purified anti-human DR3 (TRAMP) JD3, Biolegend).
