Clonotype analysis of cytomegalovirus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) control the replication of human cytomegalovirus (CMV). Previous studies assessed the clonotypic composition of CTL specific for individual immunodominant peptides within a certain HLA context. Such an approach has inherent limitations and may not assess the true clonal CTL response in vivo. Here, the clonotypic composition of CMV-specific CTL was determined in HLA...
متن کاملEvasion of cytotoxic T lymphocytes by murine cytomegalovirus.
Murine cytomegalovirus causes lifelong infections with little pathology in normal host animals. Control of viral replication and prevention of pathology depend on both innate and adaptive immune mechanisms, and cytolytic T lymphocytes play a key role in this process. The virus encodes a number of genes which alter the normal assembly of class I major histocompatability complex proteins, and thu...
متن کاملClonal predominance of cytomegalovirus-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes in bone marrow recipients.
After lymphocyte-depleted BMT, CD8+ T cells have been expanded to or above normal levels in 45% of the recipients within 3 months. The mechanisms underlying proliferation of donor-derived CD8+ T cells after BMT are still unclear. We investigated whether these CD8+ T cells proliferate in response to specific antigens by determination of TCR clonality and whether these cells exert specific cytoto...
متن کاملAntilung cancer effect of WT1-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
We and other groups have recently reported that CTLs that specifically recognize a peptide derived from WT1 lyse leukemia cells in a HLA class I-restricted manner. Because WT1 is expressed in various solid tumors as well as in leukemic cells, we investigated whether WT1-specific CTLs can also inhibit the growth of lung cancer by examining their cytotoxic activity against lung cancer cell lines ...
متن کاملCyclophosphamide-sensitive T lymphocytes suppress the in vivo generation of antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes
Murine T lymphocytes sensitized in vitro against either allogeneic lymphocytes or syngeneic hapten-conjugated lymphocytes do differentiate into highly effective cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) (1-3). In vivo immunization of T lymphocytes to the same antigens, however, results in the generation of only marginal cytotoxic activity (1,4,5). Recently we found that the weakness of in vivo generated cy...
