These findings shed light on Neolithic social dynamics and also contribute to broader discussions of inequality and the social ramifications of early agropastoralism. …”

Using CombiCells, a platform for titration and combinatorial display of cell surface ligands, to study T-cell antigen sensitivity modulation by accessory receptors by Patel, A, André, V, Bustamante Eguiguren, S, Barton, MI, Burton, J, Denham, EM, Pettmann, J, Mørch, AM, Kutuzov, MA, Siller-Farfán, JA, Dustin, M, van der Merwe, PA, Dushek, O

“…While TCR sensitivity was greatly enhanced by CD2 ligand, CAR sensitivity to CD19 was primarily but more modestly enhanced by LFA-1 ligand. Lastly, we show that the PD-1/ligand engagement inhibited T cell activation triggered solely by TCR/pMHC interactions, as well as the amplified activation induced by CD2 and CD28 co-stimulation. …”
