Another preprint from the lab 🎉 short summary: an autoimmunity associated allele of Ptpn22 boosts the NK cell response to help clear a coronavirus infection. www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...
An autoimmunity-associated allele of PTPN22 enhances the innate immune response to promote protection against acute coronavirus infection
Allelic variation can impact viral clearance and disease severity, but the effect of the autoimmunity-associated allelic variant of Ptpn22 (PEP-R619W) on antiviral immunity remains incomplete. This re...

A wrap on Immunology 2025!
Last night's #IMMUNOLOGY2025 gala was a blast! 🌴

Brenda (@brendaraud.bsky.social) caught up with Dr. Robin Orozco's (@robsorozco.bsky.social) lab. 🤙

Our latest preprint is out! Type I IFN production is regulated by factors other than Ptpn22. The first author on this paper was the first person to join my research lab. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Type I Interferon production in myeloid cells is regulated by factors independent of Ptpn22
The immune regulatory gene PTPN22 is expressed in all immune cells and encodes Lyp in humans and the ortholog PEP in mice. The PTPN22 alternative allele, 1858C>T, is expressed in 5-15% of the North Am...
