Whole blood‐based measurement of SARS‐CoV‐2‐specific T cells reveals asymptomatic infection and vaccine immunogenicity in healthy subjects and patients with solid‐organ cancers (2021)
Journal Article
Scurr, M. J., Zelek, W. M., Lippiatt, G., Somerville, M., Burnell, S. E., Capitani, L., …Godkin, A. (2022). Whole blood‐based measurement of SARS‐CoV‐2‐specific T cells reveals asymptomatic infection and vaccine immunogenicity in healthy subjects and patients with solid‐organ cancers. Immunology, 165(2), 250-259. https://doi.org/10.1111/imm.13433

Accurate assessment of SARS-CoV-2 immunity is critical in evaluating vaccine efficacy and devising public health policies. Whilst the exact nature of effective immunity remains incompletely defined, SARS-CoV-2-specific T-cell responses are a critical...

Extracellular Vesicles and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): A Systematic Review (2021)
Working Paper
Gomez, N., James, V., Onion, D., & Fairclough, L. Extracellular Vesicles and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): A Systematic Review

Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by irreversible airflow limitation, ranking the third highest cause of death worldwide. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important... Read More about Extracellular Vesicles and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): A Systematic Review.

Mutations in the binding site of TNFR1 PLAD reduce homologous interactions but can enhance antagonism of wild-type TNFR1 activity (2021)
Journal Article
Albogami, S., Todd, I., Negm, O., Fairclough, L. C., & Tighe, P. J. (2021). Mutations in the binding site of TNFR1 PLAD reduce homologous interactions but can enhance antagonism of wild-type TNFR1 activity. Immunology, https://doi.org/10.1111/imm.13400

The tumour necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF) members contain cysteine-rich domains (CRD) in their extracellular regions, and the membrane-distal CRD1 forms homologous interactions in the absence of ligand. The CRD1 is therefore termed a p... Read More about Mutations in the binding site of TNFR1 PLAD reduce homologous interactions but can enhance antagonism of wild-type TNFR1 activity.

Accurate assessment of SARS-CoV-2 immunity in the population is critical to evaluating vaccine efficacy and devising public health policies. Whilst the exact nature of effective immunity remains incompletely defined, SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell respon...

Array-based measurements of aero-allergen-specific IgE correlate with skin-prick test reactivity in asthma regardless of specific IgG4 or total IgE measurements (2021)
Journal Article
Hamed, A., Todd, I., Tighe, P. J., Powell, R. J., Harrison, T., & Fairclough, L. (2021). Array-based measurements of aero-allergen-specific IgE correlate with skin-prick test reactivity in asthma regardless of specific IgG4 or total IgE measurements. Journal of Immunological Methods, 492, Article 112999. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jim.2021.112999

© 2021 Elsevier B.V. Skin prick testing (SPT) and measurement of serum allergen-specific IgE (sIgE) are used to investigate asthma and other allergic conditions. Measurement of serum total IgE (tIgE) and allergen-specific IgG4 (sIgG4) may also be use...
