Gain-of-function human STAT1 mutations impair IL-17 immunity and underlie chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis

…, AY Kreins, S Cypowyj, A Abhyankar… - Journal of Experimental …, 2011 - rupress.org
Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis disease (CMCD) may be caused by autosomal dominant
(AD) IL-17F deficiency or autosomal recessive (AR) IL-17RA deficiency. Here, using whole…

Mycobacterial disease and impaired IFN-γ immunity in humans with inherited ISG15 deficiency

D Bogunovic, M Byun, LA Durfee, A Abhyankar… - Science, 2012 - science.org
ISG15 is an interferon (IFN)-α/β–inducible, ubiquitin-like intracellular protein. Its conjugation
to various proteins (ISGylation) contributes to antiviral immunity in mice. Here, we describe …
