Antigen kinetics determines immune reactivity.
A current paradigm in immunology is that the strength of T cell responses is governed by antigen dose, localization, and costimulatory signals. This study investigates the influence of antigen kinetics on CD8 T cell responses in mice. A fixed cumulative antigen dose was administered by different schedules to produce distinct dose-kinetics. Antigenic stimulation increasing exponentially over day...
متن کاملImmune surveillance and antigen conformation determines humoral immune response to the prion protein immunogen.
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) are progressive degenerative disorders of the central nervous system. PrP(Sc) is a TSE-specific marker derived from the host-encoded glycoprotein, PrPc. The generation of antibodies to PrP plays an important role in the diagnosis of these diseases. In this study the role of the PrP immunogen and the species being immunized was examined in relation...
متن کاملHow antibody surface coverage on nanoparticles determines the activity and kinetics of antigen capturing for biosensing.
The antigen-capturing activity of antibody-coated nanoparticles is very important for affinity-based bioanalytical tools. In this paper, a comprehensive study is reported of the antigen-capturing activity of antibodies that are nondirectionally immobilized on a nanoparticle surface. Superparamagnetic nanoparticles (500 nm) were covalently functionalized with different quantities of monoclonal a...
متن کاملOriginal Encounter with Antigen Determines Antigen-Presenting Cell Imprinting of the Quality of the Immune Response in Mice
BACKGROUND Obtaining a certain multi-functionality of cellular immunity for the control of infectious diseases is a burning question in immunology and in vaccine design. Early events, including antigen shuttling to secondary lymphoid organs and recruitment of innate immune cells for adaptive immune response, determine host responsiveness to antigens. However, the sequence of these events and th...
متن کاملThe Route of Antigen Entry Determines the Requirement for L-selectin during Immune Responses
L-selectin, an adhesion molecule constitutively expressed on leukocytes, is important for primary adhesion and extravasation of lymphocytes at specialized high endothelial venules within lymph nodes and other leukocytes at sites of inflammation. We have generated L-selectin-deficient mice by targeted disruption, and have confirmed a previously reported phenotype which includes strikingly impair...
