A New Method to Determine Antigen-Specific CD8+ T Cell Activity in Vivo by Hydrodynamic Injection
Hydrodynamic tail vein (HTV) delivery is a simple and rapid tail vein injection method of a high volume of naked plasmid DNA resulting in high levels of foreign gene expression in organs, especially the liver. Compared to other organs, HTV delivery results in more than a 1000-fold higher transgene expression in liver. After being bitten by malaria-infected mosquitoes, malaria parasites transien...
متن کاملSpecific mutation of a gammaherpesvirus-expressed antigen in response to CD8 T cell selection in vivo.
Herpesviruses are thought to be highly genetically stable, and their use as vaccine vectors has been proposed. However, studies of the human gammaherpesvirus, Epstein-Barr virus, have found viral isolates containing mutations in HLA class I-restricted epitopes. Using murine gammaherpesvirus 68 expressing ovalbumin (OVA), we examined the stability of a gammaherpesvirus antigenic locus under stro...
متن کاملImatinib mesylate inhibits antigen-specific memory CD8 T cell responses in vivo.
Imatinib mesylate (IM) is effective at inducing complete cytogenetic remission in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia. Because its influence on CD8 T cell responsiveness in vivo is unknown, we investigated the effects of IM by analyzing the response of OT-1 CD8 T cells to Listeria monocytogenes (LM) that express the cognate epitope OVA(257-264) (LM-OVA). In vitro, IM had no effect on Ag-...
متن کاملA Novel Method Linking Antigen Presentation by Human Monocyte-Derived Macrophages to CD8+ T Cell Polyfunctionality
To understand the interactions between innate and adaptive immunity, and specifically how virally infected macrophages impact T cell function, novel assays examining the ability of macrophages to present antigen to CD8(+) T cells are needed. In the present study, we have developed a robust in vitro assay to measure how antigen presentation by human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) affects th...
متن کاملMechanisms underlying antigen-specific CD8+ T cell homeostasis.
Antigen-Specific CD8 T Cell Homeostasis Badovinac et al. (1) reported important new insights concerning the role of perforin and interferon-g (IFN-g) in regulating antigenspecific (Ag-specific) CD8 T cell homeostasis. Using an attenuated strain of Listeria monocytogenes, they demonstrated that absence of perforin resulted in increased levels of specific CD8 T cells, whereas absence of IFN-g con...
