Children with Down syndrome (DS) have a 20-fold increased risk of developing B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Polysomy 21 (i.e., extra copies of chr.21) is also the most frequent somatic aneuploidy among all B-ALLs. Additional B-ALLs harbor intrachromosomal amplifications of chr.21q22 (i...

Down syndrome (DS) confers a 20-fold increased risk of B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), yet the mechanisms underlying this association are undefined.  We show that triplication of only 31 genes orthologous to the putative DS Critical Region (DSCR) on chr.21q22 is sufficient to promote B ce...

Although natural antibodies (NAbs) are present from birth, little is known about what drives their selection, and whether they have housekeeping functions. We now show that the prototypic T15-NAb, first identified because of its protective role in infection, is representative of a previously unknown...

Natural antibodies, which arise without known immune exposure, have been described that specifically recognize cells dying from apoptosis but their role in innate immunity remains poorly understood. Herein, we show that the immune response to neo-antigenic determinants on apoptotic thymocytes is dom...

Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is initiated when natural IgM antibodies recognize neo-epitopes that are revealed on ischemic cells. The target molecules and mechanisms whereby these neo-epitopes become accessible to recognition are not well understood. Proposing that isolated intestinal...

INTRODUCTION: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is among the most common cancers in children. With improvements in combination chemotherapy regimens, the overall survival has increased to over 90%. However, the current challenge is to mitigate adverse events resulting from the c...
