An immunologist's guide to CD31 function in T-cells.
Although it is expressed by all leukocytes, including T-, B-lymphocytes and dendritic cells, the immunoglobulin-like receptor CD31 is generally regarded by immunologists as a marker of endothelial cell lineage that lacks an established functional role in adaptive immunity. This perception has recently been challenged by studies that reveal a key role for this molecule in the regulation of T-cel...
متن کاملA Guide to Bioinformatics for Immunologists
Bioinformatics includes a suite of methods, which are cheap, approachable, and many of which are easily accessible without any sort of specialized bioinformatic training. Yet, despite this, bioinformatic tools are under-utilized by immunologists. Herein, we review a representative set of publicly available, easy-to-use bioinformatic tools using our own research on an under-annotated human gene,...
متن کاملImmunologists getting nervous: neuropeptides, dendritic cells and T cell activation
It is increasingly recognised that the immune and nervous systems are closely integrated to optimise defence systems within the lung. In this commentary, the contribution of various neuropeptides such as substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide, vasoactive intestinal peptide and somatostatin to the regulation of T cell activation is discussed. These neuropeptides are released not only from ...
متن کاملPECAM-1 (CD31) function
Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from preexisting ones, is a complex process consisting of interrelationships of angiogenic, survival and differentiation factors and their receptors with cell adhesion and cell-matrix adhesion molecules (Beck and D’Amore, 1997; Folkman and D’Amore, 1996; Hanahan, 1997; Hanahan and Folkman, 1996; Risau, 1997; Sage, 1997; Stromblad and Cheresh, 199...
متن کاملInduction of hyporesponsiveness and impaired T lymphocyte activation by the CD31 receptor:ligand pathway in T cells.
CD31 is a member of the Ig superfamily expressed on various cell types of the vasculature, including a certain subpopulation of T lymphocytes. Previous reports suggest that interaction of CD31 with its heterophilic ligand on T cells (T cell CD31 ligand) plays a regulatory role in T lymphocyte activation. Here we demonstrate that a soluble rCD31-receptorglobulin (CD31Rg) specifically down-regula...
