Acquisition of CD80 by Human T Cells at Early Stages of Activation: Functional Involvement of CD80 Acquisition in T Cell to T Cell Interaction

Acquisition of CD80 by human T cells at early stages of activation: functional involvement of CD80 acquisition in T cell to T cell interaction.

The interaction between CD28 on T cells and CD80 on APCs intensifies the linkage between TCR and MHC at the site of contact between T cells and APCs. In this study, we demonstrate that during human T cell/human APC interaction, the autologous or allogeneic human CD4(+) T cells become positive for the detection of CD80 at an early stage of activation (24 h). This detection of CD80 is attributabl...

Acquisition of CD80 (B7-1) by T cells.

Activation of T cells usually requires two signals. Signal 1 is mediated via a peptide-MHC on the APC; signal 2 is mediated via a costimulatory molecule on the APC surface. We demonstrate here that naive CD4(+) T cells actually acquire the costimulatory molecule CD80 (B7-1) from syngeneic APCs after activation. This phenomenon was demonstrated showing acquisition of CD80 by T cells from CD80/CD...

Preferential T cell Expansion by Artificial Antigen Presenting Cells Expressing 4-1BBL Alone or in Combination with CD80 or CD86

Two regions in the CD80 cytoplasmic tail regulate CD80 redistribution and T cell costimulation.

CD28 is a major T cell costimulatory molecule, delivering signals distinct from those of the CD3/TCR complex, which regulate cytokine and cytokine receptor expression, cell proliferation, and cell viability. CD28 needs to be cross-linked to initiate signals, yet both of its ligands, CD80 and CD86, are expressed as monomers. Previously, we determined the cytoplasmic tail of CD80 is required for ...

Profile of interleukin-2 production in human mononuclear cells and T-cell lines

Introduction: Interleukin-2 (IL-2) as a T helper type 1 (Th1) cytokine has an important role Background and Objective: Interleukin-2 (IL-2) as a T helper type 1 (Th1) cytokine has an important role in activation, growth and differentiation of several immune cells. Moreover IL-2 is known as a pro-inflammatory and anti-tumoral cytokine. In addition deysregulation of IL-2 in some diseases such as ...
