Journal Article
Salazar, F., Hall, L., Negm, O. H., Awuah, D., Tighe, P. J., Shakib, F., & Ghaemmaghami, A. M. (2016). The mannose receptor negatively modulates the Toll-like receptor 4–aryl hydrocarbon receptor–indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase axis in dendritic cells affecting T helper cell polarization. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 137(6), 1841-1851.e2. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jaci.2015.10.033

Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) are key players in the induction and re-elicitation of TH2 responses to allergens. We have previously shown that different C-type lectin receptors on DCs play a major role in allergen recognition and uptake. In parti...

Tumor necrosis factor receptor I blockade shows that TNF-dependent and independent mechanisms synergise in TNF receptor associated periodic syndrome (2015)
Journal Article
Fairclough, L. C., Stoop, A., Negm, O. H., Radford, P., Tighe, P. J., & Todd, I. (2015). Tumor necrosis factor receptor I blockade shows that TNF-dependent and independent mechanisms synergise in TNF receptor associated periodic syndrome. European Journal of Immunology, 45(10), 2937-2944. https://doi.org/10.1002/eji.201545769

TNF receptor associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is an autoinflammatory disease involving recurrent episodes of fever and inflammation. It is associated with autosomal dominant mutations in TNF receptor superfamily 1A gene localised to exons encodin...

ELISA in the multiplex era: potentials and pitfalls (2015)
Journal Article
Tighe, P. J., Ryder, R. R., Todd, I., & Fairclough, L. C. (2015). ELISA in the multiplex era: potentials and pitfalls. PROTEOMICS - Clinical Applications, 9(3-4), https://doi.org/10.1002/prca.201400130

Multiplex immunoassays confer several advantages over widely adopted singleplex immunoassays including increased efficiency at a reduced expense, greater output per sample volume ratios and higher throughput predicating more resolute, detailed diagno...

Effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines on cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors in immune cells (2015)
Journal Article
Jean-Gilles, L., Braitch, M., Latif, M. L., Aram, J., Fahey, A. J., Edwards, L. J., …Constantinescu, C. S. (2015). Effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines on cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors in immune cells. Acta Physiologica, 214(1), 63-74. https://doi.org/10.1111/apha.12474

© 2015 The Authors. Aims: To investigate the regulation of cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 on immune cells by pro-inflammatory cytokines and its potential relevance to the inflammatory neurological disease, multiple sclerosis (MS). CB1 and CB2 sign... Read More about Effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines on cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors in immune cells.

The mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a downstream of the PI3K/Akt pathway which affects cancer development. mTORC1 has many downstream signalling effectors that can enhance different cellular responses. This study aims to investiga... Read More about The mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) in breast cancer: the impact of oestrogen receptor and HER2 pathways.
