Journal Article
Brentville, V., Symonds, P., Cook, K. W., Daniels, I., Pitt, T., Gijon, M., …Durrant, L. G. (2019). T cell repertoire to citrullinated self-peptides in healthy humans is not confined to the HLA-DR SE alleles; targeting of citrullinated self-peptides presented by HLA-DP4 for tumour therapy. OncoImmunology, 8(5), https://doi.org/10.1080/2162402X.2019.1576490

Post-translational modifications are induced in stressed cells which cause them to be recognised by the immune system. One such modification is citrullination where the positive charged arginine is modified to a neutral citrulline. We demonstrate mos...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) patients develop recurrence after chemotherapy owing to the survival of stem cell-like cells referred to as cancer stem-like cells (CSCs). The origin of CSCs is linked to the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. Cu...
