Virus-like antigen display delivers a stand-alone danger signal through the BCR that circumvents tolerance

Julianne B. Riggs, Alexander J. Ritter, François X. P. Bourassa, Alexander R. Meyer, Erika Kay-Tsumagari, Wei-Yun Wholey, Jeremy B. Libang, James L. Mueller, Wen Lu, Ned S. Wingreen, Wei Cheng, Julie Zikherman

The paper shows that virus-like particle-displayed antigens bypass BCR tolerance by triggering distinct signaling and transcriptional programs compared to soluble antigens.

Transcriptional control of central T cell tolerance by NR4A family nuclear receptors

Hailyn V. Nielsen, Letitia Yang, James L. Mueller, Alexander J. Ritter, Ryosuke Hiwa, Irina Proekt, Elze Rackaityte, Dominik A. Aylard, Mansi Gupta, Christopher D. Scharer, Mark Stuart Anderson, Byron B. Au‐Yeung, Julie Zikherman

This study identifies the role of Nr4a family nuclear receptors in transcriptional control of T cell tolerance during thymic development, showing their necessity for negative selection and anergy-like programs in self-reactive T cells.
