CHICAGO (July 7, 2024) – Chicago Fire FC today announced that the Club has signed Chicago Fire FC II defender Diego Konincks (pronounced: CONE-inks) to a short-term agreement. Konincks will be available for today's MLS regular season road match against the San Jose Earthquakes at PayPal Park. Konincks, 23, has started all 14 matches he has played for Chicago Fire FC II in 2024, logging 1,252 minutes in the backline for the Club’s MLS NEXT Pro side. Konincks has also scored two goals for Chicago Fire II while primarily playing as a centerback. Konincks was signed to an MLS NEXT Pro contract on March 7, 2024, with Chicago Fire FC II and occupies an international slot on the team’s roster. The Dutch defender joined Chicago after spending last season with Saint Louis University. In his lone season with the Billikens, he started in all of Saint Louis’ 17 games during the season, recording four goals in 2023. He also anchored a backline that averaged only one goal against per game, one of the strongest in the Atlantic-10 Conference. Transaction: Chicago Fire FC (MLS) signs defender Diego Konincks to Short-Term Agreement from Chicago Fire FC II (MLS NEXT Pro). We conclude that cross-presentation is not only an efficient mechanism exploited by DC to initiate immunity to viruses that do not infect DC but also to viruses that do infect DC, because cross-presentation has many conceptual advantages and bypasses direct immune modulatory effects of the virus on its infected target cells. Since knowledge on the mechanism of viral antigen presentation and the preferred DC subsets is crucial for rational vaccine design, the obtained insights are very instrumental for the development of effective anti-viral immunotherapy. Volume 5 - 2014 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2014.00182 This article is part of the Research TopicApplication of antigen cross-presentation research into patient careView all 12 articles Effective viral clearance requires the induction of virus-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) Since dendritic cells (DC) have a central role in initiating and shaping virus-specific CTL responses it is important to understand how DC initiate virus-specific CTL responses which theoretically allow direct presentation of viral antigens to CTL but many viruses target other cells than DC and thus the host depends on the cross-presentation of viral antigens by DC to activate virus-specific CTL Research in mouse models has highly enhanced our understanding of the mechanisms underlying cross-presentation and the dendritic cells (DC) subsets involved these results cannot be readily translated toward the role of human DC in MHC class I-antigen presentation of human viruses we summarize the insights gained in the past 20 years on MHC class I presentation of viral antigen by human DC and add to the current debate on the capacities of different human DC subsets herein possible sources of viral antigens and essential DC characteristics for effective induction of virus-specific CTL are evaluated We conclude that cross-presentation is not only an efficient mechanism exploited by DC to initiate immunity to viruses that do not infect DC but also to viruses that do infect DC because cross-presentation has many conceptual advantages and bypasses direct immune modulatory effects of the virus on its infected target cells Since knowledge on the mechanism of viral antigen presentation and the preferred DC subsets is crucial for rational vaccine design the obtained insights are very instrumental for the development of effective anti-viral immunotherapy DC are very efficient in capturing exogenous antigen because they express a diverse repertoire of receptors and exploit various mechanisms to engulf antigens The cross-presentation capacity of DC may be crucial for the induction of virus-specific CTL during infections with viruses that do not infect DC Seminal mouse studies have demonstrated the importance of cross-presentation for the generation of virus-specific CTL responses (16–18). In addition, mouse studies have provided important insights into the cell-biological mechanisms underlying cross-presentation by DC (19, 20) composition of the human DC compartment and susceptibility to viruses differ largely between mice and men the mechanism of cross-presentation by human DC is less well-understood research on MHC class I presentation of viral antigens by human DC is of great importance to understand the induction of virus-specific CTL in humans These technical advancements have revived the scientific interest in the interactions between viruses and different human DC subsets a significant body of literature has been published on presentation of viral antigens by different human DC subsets that facilitated this review which is based for a large part on studies using human DC the different mechanisms employed by human DC to facilitate MHC class I presentation of viral antigens are discussed essential DC characteristics for optimal MHC class I presentation of viral antigens and host factors important for virus-specific CTL induction are defined the roles of the various human DC subsets of human DC in these processes are evaluated Since knowledge on mechanisms of virus-specific CTL induction by human DC subset is crucial for rational vaccine design recommendations for development of effective anti-viral immune therapies will be provided based on the insights obtained in this review Virus-infected DC can use endogenously synthesized viral proteins as antigens for presentation in MHC class I whereas non-infected DC need to actively engulf exogenous viral antigens for cross-presentation we discuss possible sources of viral antigen obtained from different viruses for MHC class I presentation by human DC endogenous synthesis of viral antigens is not required for MHC class I presentation and that cross-presentation is an efficient mechanism to facilitate MHC class I presentation of viral antigens Cross-presentation can be enhanced by opsonization Two main pathways for cross-presentation have been described that are also relevant for cross-presentation of viruses by human DC and are characterized by differences in the mechanism of protein degradation and differences in kinetics (black arrows) that relies on proteasomal degradation in the cytosol is important for cross-presentation of viral particles The relatively fast vacuolar pathway is independent of proteasomal degradation and is important for cross-presentation of VLP (B) DC can obtain viral peptides or MHC class I-peptide complexes by interaction with virus-infected cells Recombinant proteins such as HCV-derived NS3 (52), HIV-1-derived Nef (53), HCMV-derived pp65 (9, 54), and hepatitis B virus (HBV)-derived hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) (55, 56) are sources of exogenous antigens that are often used to study the mechanism of cross-presentation by DC the efficiency of cross-presentation of these recombinant proteins is relatively low compared to other sources of viral antigens which is secreted by human hepatocytes and can be measured in peripheral blood most proteins are not naturally occurring as soluble proteins in vivo but are only present in/associated with infected cells The relevance of these pathways in presentation of viral antigens by human DC and induction of virus-specific T-cell immunity should be further evaluated for efficient viral antigen presentation to CD8+ T cells DC can acquire viral antigens from various sources Although direct presentation of endogenously generated antigen by virus-infected DC has been reported for some viruses evidence to support an important role for this mechanism in the induction of virus-specific CTL is lacking there is compelling evidence that cross-presentation of exogenously acquired viral antigen is highly efficient and provides an excellent way for the host to bypass evasion mechanisms that several viruses employ to prevent direct MHC class I presentation in infected target cells the different subsets will likely have specialized roles in the interaction with different viruses determined by the combination of receptors expressed on each DC subset Summary of receptors that are involved in DC–virus interaction on different DC subsets These examples show that CLR can facilitate cross-presentation the physiological role of these receptors in cross-presentation of viral antigens is still under debate mainly based on mouse studies in the field of cancer immunotherapy the role of HSP in cross-presentation of viral antigens by human DC remains to be investigated Although these results indicate that several endocytic receptors may be involved in facilitating cross-presentation Especially recognition of viral antigens by opsonins seems to be an effective way of natural antigen targeting to DC for cross-presentation Increased knowledge on the receptors used by viruses for infection on the one hand and the receptors that facilitate cross-presentation on the other hand may be of great value for therapeutic interventions One of the intriguing aspects of cross-presentation is that processing of incoming antigen needs to be very efficient to compete with the vast amount of endogenous proteins for MHC class I binding. In addition, cross-presentation requires access of incoming antigen to the MHC class I pathway that is mechanistically separated from the uptake vesicles (98) The most discriminative aspects between the two pathways are discussed below a large enzyme complex situated in the cytosol that makes this pathway sensitive to inhibitors of proteasomal degradation both antigen degradation and MHC class I presentation occur in the endocytic compartment Involvement of this pathway can be experimentally addressed by confirming resistance to inhibition of proteasomal degradation and sensitivity to inhibition of lysosomal proteolysis the role of these molecules in human DC is poorly studied The cytosolic and the vacuolar pathways were largely established based on model antigens and mouse studies It is important to assess if these models are applicable to cross-presentation of viral antigens by human DC the above-mentioned work suggests a role for the cytosolic pathway in cross-presentation of fusion-competent viral particles cross-presentation of IAV by pDC is not sensitive to proteasome inhibitors but is sensitive to inhibition of endosomal processing Together with fast MHC class I presentation this study suggests a role for the vacuolar pathway for cross-presentation of IAV by pDC these studies suggest that cross-presentation of VLP occurs via the vacuolar pathway transferrin is sorted into a different population of static endosomes that facilitate recycling of antigen and receptors to the cell surface further understanding of the mechanisms underlying the vacuolar pathway may be of interest for therapeutic purposes the experimental stimuli used for induction of DC maturation are often not representative for the type of danger signals that are encountered by DC during viral infection in vivo although it is widely accepted that virus-derived and virus-induced stimulatory signals are required for effective cross-priming of virus-specific CTL it has been difficult to experimentally address this hypothesis in the currently used in vitro models Challenges include the low precursor frequency of naïve virus-specific CD8+ T cells and dissection of the separate contributions of DC maturation and antigen presentation to CTL induction The connection between innate immune recognition of viruses by human DC and the induction of virus-specific CTL is an important subject for further study the PRR and pathways underlying recognition of viruses by DC and the mechanisms by which viruses circumvent these pathways needs to be further explored Novel molecular techniques such as the ability to knock down PRR in human DC will empower this research which is important for the development of therapeutic interventions the large majority of studies on cross-presentation of viral antigen by human DC were performed with in vitro-generated moDC more recently a number of groups have succeeded in obtaining sufficient numbers of DC from blood or other organs to assess the ability and mechanism of cross-presentation of viral antigens by different human DC subsets further studies on the cross-presentation capacity of primary LC are required We conclude that essential mechanisms of cross-presentation are present among most human DC subsets Superiority of cross-presentation among DC subsets can be attributed to the repertoire of uptake receptors and adaptations in the endocytic compartment and may vary depending on the type of antigen Although several technical advancements have potentiated the study of MHC class I-antigen presentation by human DC several important questions remain to be addressed One of the current technical challenges is to measure antigen presentation at the level of DC. The purest read-out would be to measure MHC class I-antigen complexes at the surface of DC (signal 1 only), however, tools are lacking (20) The best current available method to quantify MHC class I-antigen presentation is a read-out involving activation or in vitro induction of virus-specific T cells it should be taken into account that activation of virus-specific T cells results from a combination of TCR ligation by MHC class I–peptide complexes (signal 1) and other stimuli provided by DC such as cytokines and co-stimulation (signal 2 and 3) Such T cells are evaluated in the context of immunotherapy of patients but may also be exploited as tools to monitor antigen presentation by DC Selective targeting to DC prevents antigen consumption by irrelevant cells which may lead to reduced availability of antigen to DC and improper T-cell activation In addition to antigen targeting to DC in vivo, recruiting of DC precursors may represent an attractive immunotherapeutic approach, as was recently proposed for monocytes, which can contain a natural reservoir of HBsAg that can be presented in MHC class I upon differentiation of these monocytes to moDC (153) Based on two decades of research into MHC class I-restricted presentation of viral antigen by human DC we conclude that cross-presentation of viral antigens is a highly efficient mechanism for defense against viruses cross-presentation of viral antigens seems not only pivotal for defense against viruses that do not infect DC as demonstrated by in vitro studies using replication-incompetent IAV Since these viruses represent a selection of all viruses that can productively infect human DC the contribution of direct presentation by human DC infected with other viruses cannot be completely ruled out cross-presentation has many conceptual advances compared to direct presentation by infected DC knowledge on the presentation of viral antigens by human DC is mainly derived from in vitro studies Whether these studies faithfully represent the in vivo situation is of course difficult to predict Several caveats from these in vitro studies include the use of in vitro-generated DC which may behave differently than their in vivo counterparts the use of laboratory adapted virus strains which may have tropisms that may not represent the in vivo situation and the use of recombinant viral proteins and TLR ligands that are not fully representative for antigens or danger signals that can be encountered in vivo together these studies have given us an important understanding of the mechanisms underlying MHC class I presentation of viral antigens by human DC This knowledge is an important basis for the rational design of therapeutic vaccines for chronic viral infections Interesting venues for further research include identification of DC receptors involved in viral infection and initiation of immune response elucidation of the molecular signals underlying sorting of viral antigen to endocytic compartments that favor cross-presentation and the role of virus-derived danger signals and virus-induced maturation stimuli in cross-presentation and CTL priming A more detailed knowledge of these key factors in virus–host interaction will further empower the design of novel therapeutics for infectious diseases The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any

Thursday The illegal setup was constructed inside six linked sea containers which were hidden underneath a large pile of clay used to reinforce dykes "The location and its entrance were shielded in such a way that they could not be seen on aerial photos or from the public road," police said Three men were arrested in the case including the 59-year-old owner of the site A 53 year-old from Zaandam was taken into custody and a 50-year-old from Hoorn All three were remanded into custody for two weeks at a hearing on Friday Four kilograms of raw crystal methamphetamine with a street value of approximately 350 thousand euros were found at the scene along with 96 liters of base methamphetamine oil Other raw materials were also recovered along with drug waste Two vehicles were also seized in the investigation several such labs have been found in the Netherlands," police said the police has formed the Synthetic Drugs Cluster a team of investigators from several disciplines who have teamed together to tackle the production of illegal man-made drugs Large numbers of police officers were active in the province of Utrecht on Tuesday morning Dozens of cops raided addresses in at least Montfoort and Ameide At this stage the police provided no details regarding the raids A RTV Utrecht reporter saw around 25 armed cops - some with balaclavas and shields - raiding a residential address and business premises in Montfoort In Ameide it looked like the police were confiscating cars and boats The police will release more details about what was happening in the province later in the afternoon The number of schools in Amsterdam that received a threat on Wednesday and Thursday is now “towards twenty,” the police told NU.nl primary school De Notenkraker in Amsterdam Zuid didn’t open due to a threat And pre-vocational secondary schools in Utrecht and Montfoort also closed after someone threatened a school shooting The Amsterdam authorities reported that they have no indications that the threat to De Notenkraker is concrete “Perpetrators copy each other in this case and play a misguided joke that has far-reaching consequences for students Although they assume the threat is not real “It can never be ruled out with certainty that something more serious is going on.” On Wednesday, the Spinoza20first in Oost remained closed due to a shooting threat The police arrested a 14-year-old boy for that threat The pre-vocational secondary school Yuverta Lely Lyceum and the St Nicolaaslyceum also received threats About 400 students attend the Yuverta VMBO Utrecht on Theo Thijssenplein and just over 800 at the Yuverta Montfoort The threats come in the middle of exam time for secondary school students Three exams are scheduled today for pre-vocational secondary education - economics Despite the fact that the coronavirus pandemic closed clubs and canceled festivals last year synthetic drug production in the Netherlands continued unabated The police dismantled 108 synthetic drug labs last year and cleared out 23 percent more storage locations The number of crystal meth labs more than tripled form 10 in 2019 to 32 last year The police had expected that the coronavirus lockdowns would reduce the demand for synthetic drugs like ecstasy and speed in charge of the drugs portfolio at the police "In 2020 the production of synthetic drugs was running at full speed and prices have not fallen That indicates that the demand has not decreased." The Netherlands is a frontrunner when it comes to the manufacture of ecstasy and amphetamine "We have the best labs in the world here and that's not something to be proud of." Drug labs are also getting bigger and more professional In the past drugs were cooked in 50 liter glassware Now boilers of 2,800 liters have been found in multiple labs The rise of crystal meth in the Netherlands is also striking "The growth has to do with the revenue model," Daniel explained to the newspaper while the conversion of an amphetamine lab requires only a small investment." The police are worried about the rise of crystal meth for several reasons First is that the production of meth releases toxic mercury fumes making it extra dangerous for those around a lab and the police officers sent to bust it Another point of concern is the presence of Mexican criminals found at various crystal meth labs busted in the Netherlands "We do not rule out that there are good agreements with Mexican cartels about the distribution of the profits," Daniel said The use of crystal meth is marginal in the Netherlands which means that the production here is mainly for export "That applies to all synthetic drugs that are made here," Daniel said to the newspaper "Around the elections you hear politicians say that if you legalize drugs Only if you legalize drugs worldwide would you be rid of all crime." The province of Utrecht has the wealthiest residents of the Netherlands The report expects that the province will continue to grow until 2050 The State of Utrecht includes a database that contains figures about the working and living climate of the 25 municipalities in the province of Utrecht almost all municipalities in the province will continue to grow in terms of population until 2050 The exceptions are the small centers of IJsselstain where a slight population decline is expected in the coming decades The municipalities expected to see the biggest population increases are Woudenberg (26.7 percent) The city of Utrecht will continue to attract young people Utrecht is currently the least aging city of the four major Dutch cities and that will remain the case until at least 2035 17 percent of Utrecht residents will be over the age of 65 The tactics and tools change every time," Mimi says but I think that it's getting worse."
