Quantification and characterization of myosin peptide-specific CD4+ T cells in autoimmune myocarditis.
Characterization of autoantigen-specific CD4+ T cells at the single cell level is crucial for understanding the immunopathological mechanisms underlying autoimmune diseases. Cardiac myosin heavy chain (myhca) is the major autoantigen associated with autoimmune myocarditis both in humans and in experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) in mice. In the current study, we evaluated two methods for ...
متن کاملMassive monoclonal expansion of CD4 T-cells specific for a Mycobacterium tuberculosis ESAT-6 peptide.
T-cell responses towards tuberculin (purified protein derivative; PPD) or the Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific antigens early secretory antigenic target (ESAT)-6 and culture filtrate protein-10 are indicative of prior contact with mycobacterial antigens. In this study, we investigated the exceptional case of a 75-yr-old patient who devoted more than one-third of his CD4 T-cells against PPD a...
متن کاملIdentification of a Human Cyclin D1-Derived Peptide that Induces Human Cytotoxic CD4 T Cells
Cyclin D1 is over-expressed in various human tumors and therefore can be a potential oncogenic target antigen. However, only a limited number of T cell epitopes has been characterized. We aimed at identifying human cyclin D1-derived peptides that include both CD4 and CD8 T cell epitopes and to test if such multi-epitope peptides could yield improved cytotoxic CD8 T cell responses as well as cyt...
متن کاملEx vivo characterization of allo-MHC-restricted T cells specific for a single MHC-peptide complex.
Alloreactive T cells are thought to be a potentially rich source of high-avidity T cells with therapeutic potential since tolerance to self-Ags is restricted to self-MHC recognition. Given the particularly high frequency of alloreactive T cells in the peripheral immune system, we used numerous MHC class I multimers to directly visualize and isolate viral and tumor Ag-specific alloreactive CD8 T...
متن کاملEnhanced Detection of Antigen-Specific CD4+ T Cells Using Altered Peptide Flanking Residue Peptide–MHC Class II Multimers
Fluorochrome-conjugated peptide-MHC (pMHC) class I multimers are staple components of the immunologist's toolbox, enabling reliable quantification and analysis of Ag-specific CD8(+) T cells irrespective of functional outputs. In contrast, widespread use of the equivalent pMHC class II (pMHC-II) reagents has been hindered by intrinsically weaker TCR affinities for pMHC-II, a lack of cooperative ...
