Modeling and Predicting HLH Through Measurement of Immune Synapse Duration, Cytokine Production, and Target Cell Death
Background/Purpose: Hyperinflammation is a life-threatening systemic inflammatory state most commonly associated with Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS), but observed in nearly all inflammatory…Abstract Number: 1846 • ACR Convergence 2024
Citrullinated Vimentin-reactive Immune-regulatory CD4+CD39+TIGIThi T Cells Expand During Drug Free Remission in HLA-DR Shared-epitope+ ACPA+ Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: There is a need for immunotherapy that sustains symptom remission without ongoing need for disease modifying drugs (DMARDs). In a phase 1b trial of…Abstract Number: 1866 • ACR Convergence 2024
Identification of Sjögren’s Disease-Associated CD4+ T Cell Receptor (TCR) Motifs and Repertoire Landscape Through TCR Deep Sequencing
Background/Purpose: Sjögren’s disease (SjD) is a chronic rheumatic autoimmune disorder characterized by focal lymphocytic infiltration of the lacrimal and salivary glands (SG). CD4+ T cells…Abstract Number: 2677 • ACR Convergence 2024
N-Acetylcysteine Blocks the Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin in Pro-Inflammatory Effector-Memory CD4 and CD8 T Cells Re-Expressing CD45RA in Patients with Active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease of unknown etiology with significant mortality attributed to infections due to toxicity of immunosuppressant medications. Our…Abstract Number: 0324 • ACR Convergence 2024
Correlative Studies of CABA-201, a Fully Human, Autologous 4-1BB Anti-CD19 CAR T Cell Therapy in Patients with Immune-Mediated Necrotizing Myopathy and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus from the RESET-MyositisTM and RESET-SLETM Clinical Trials
Background/Purpose: CD19 targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have demonstrated durable drug-free responses and remission in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) and systemic…Abstract Number: 0958 • ACR Convergence 2024
TCR Motifs Identify Unique Clones in African Americans with Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare multisystem autoimmune disease that disproportionately affects African Americans (AA). Previous work from our lab has suggested a pivotal…Abstract Number: 1773 • ACR Convergence 2024
Divergent Genetic Architecture in Boys and Girls with NEMO-deleted Exon 5 Autoinflammatory Syndrome (NEMO-NDAS) Implies Role for Wildtype Effector Cells
Background/Purpose: Splice-site variants in X-linked IKBKG cause NEMO-deleted exon5 autoinflammatory syndrome (NEMO-NDAS); a pseudogene (IKBKGP1) complicates genetic diagnosis. NEMO-NDAS is four times more common in…Abstract Number: 1848 • ACR Convergence 2024
