Antigen-sensitized CD4+CD62Llow memory/effector T helper 2 cells can induce airway hyperresponsiveness in an antigen free setting
BACKGROUND Airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) is one of the most prominent features of asthma, however, precise mechanisms for its induction have not been fully elucidated. We previously reported that systemic antigen sensitization alone directly induces AHR before development of eosinophilic airway inflammation in a mouse model of allergic airway inflammation, which suggests a critical role of a...
متن کاملRas activation in T cells determines the development of antigen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness and eosinophilic inflammation.
The central role for Th2 cells in the development of Ag-induced airway hyperresponsiveness and eosinophilic inflammation is well documented. We have reported a crucial role for TCR-induced activation of the Ras/extracellular signal-regulated kinase mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade in Th2 cell differentiation. Here, we show that the development of both OVA-induced airway hyperresponsiven...
متن کاملT Helper 1 and T Helper 2 Cells Are Pathogenic in an Antigen-specific Model of Colitis
Dysregulated T cell responses to enteric bacteria have been implicated as a common mechanism underlying pathogenesis in rodent models of colitis. However, the bacterial species and T cell specificities that induce disease have been poorly defined. We have developed a model system in which target antigen, bacterial host, and corresponding T cell specificity are defined. OVA-specific T cells from...
متن کاملIslet Amyloid Polypeptide is not a Target Antigen for CD8+ T-Cells in Type 2 Diabetes
Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic metabolic disorder in which beta-cells are destroyed. The islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) produced by beta-cells has been reported to influence beta-cell destruction. Objective: To evaluate if IAPP can act as an autoantigen and therefore, to see if CD8 + T-cells specific for this protein might be present in T2D patients. Methods: Peripheral blood ...
متن کاملT Helper Cells in Murine Germinal Centers Are Antigen - specific
After immunization, activated splenic T cells proliferate in periarteriolar lymphoid sheaths (PALS) and subsequently migrate to the lymphoid follicle where they enter nascent germinal centers. Analysis o f T C R V(D)J gene rearrangements indicates extensive emigration, frequently involving more than a single white pulp region. These migrants constitute a unique set of T helper ceils that expres...
