CD4 T cell-dependent CD8 T cell maturation.
We have investigated the contribution of CD4 T cells to the optimal priming of functionally robust memory CD8 T cell subsets. Intranasal infection of CD4 T cell-deficient (CD4(-/-)) mice with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus resulted in the elaboration of virus-specific CD8 T cell responses that cleared the infection. However, by comparison with normal mice, the virus-specific CD8 T cells in ...
متن کاملCD8+ memory T-cell inflation renders compromised CD4+ T-cell-dependent CD8+ T-cell immunity via naïve T-cell anergy
Whether inflation of CD8+ memory T (mT) cells, which is often derived from repeated prime-boost vaccinations or chronic viral infections in the elderly, would affect late CD8+ T-cell immunity is a long-standing paradox. We have previously established an animal model with mT-cell inflation by transferring ConA-stimulated monoclonal CD8+ T cells derived from Ova-specific T-cell-receptor transgeni...
متن کاملCTLA-4 dysregulation of self/tumor-reactive CD8+ T-cell function is CD4+ T-cell dependent.
Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) maintains peripheral tolerance by suppressing T-cell activation and proliferation but its precise role in vivo remains unclear. We sought to elucidate the impact of CTLA-4 expression on self/tumor-reactive CD8(+) T cells by using the glycoprotein (gp) 100-specific T-cell receptor (TCR) transgenic mouse, pmel-1. pmel-1 CLTA-4(-/-) mice develop...
متن کاملRegulatory T cells prevent CD8 T cell maturation by inhibiting CD4 Th cells at tumor sites.
Natural regulatory T cells (Tregs) are present in high frequencies among tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and in draining lymph nodes, supposedly facilitating tumor development. To investigate their role in controlling local immune responses, we analyzed intratumoral T cell accumulation and function in the presence or absence of Tregs. Tumors that grew in normal BALB/c mice injected with the 4T1 ...
متن کاملVisualization of CD4/CD8 T Cell Commitment
A system to innocuously visualize T cell lineage commitment is described. Using a "knock-in" approach, we have generated mice expressing a beta-galactosidase reporter in place of CD4; expression of beta-galactosidase in these animals appears to be an accurate and early indicator of CD4 gene transcription. We have exploited this knock-in line to trace CD4/CD8 lineage commitment in the thymus, av...
