Cross-reactivities in memory cytotoxic T lymphocyte recognition of heterologous viruses
Analyses of the relationships between different viruses and viral proteins have focused on homologies between linear amino acid sequences, but cross-reactivities at the level of T cell recognition may not be dependent on a conserved linear sequence of several amino acids. The CTL response to Pichinde virus (PV) and vaccinia virus (VV) in C57BL/6 mice previously immunized with lymphocytic chorio...
متن کاملReduction of otherwise remarkably stable virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte memory by heterologous viral infections
Experimental analyses of the acute cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response to viruses have focused on studying these infections in immunologically naive hosts. In the natural environment, however, viral CTL responses occur in hosts that are already immune to other infectious agents. To address which factors contribute to the maintenance and waning of immunological memory, the following study exam...
متن کاملHuman cytotoxic T-lymphocyte repertoire to influenza A viruses.
The murine CD8(+) cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte (CTL) repertoire appears to be quite limited in response to influenza A viruses. The CTL responses to influenza A virus in humans were examined to determine if the CTL repertoire is also very limited. Bulk cultures revealed that a number of virus proteins were recognized in CTL assays. CTL lines were isolated from three donors for detailed study and foun...
متن کاملCytotoxic T lymphocyte memory: role in cross-protective immunity against influenza?
Department of Virology, Erasmus University Rotterdam, P.O. Box 1738, 3000 DR Rotterdam, The Netherlands. (Received 14 October 1994; accepted 19 October 1994) the protection from subsequent inthtenza virus infections is controversial. Despite the existence of conserved CTL epitopes present in e.g. the nucleoprotein (NP)‘“*l‘ of influenza virus strains that infect humans in subsequent seasons, th...
متن کاملKinetics of Primary and Memory Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Responses to Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Infection: Granzyme B Mediated CTL Activity
Background: Herpes simplex virus type 1 is one of the most common viruses among human population. Studies demonstrate the essential role of cell mediated immunity, especially CD8+ T cells, in prevention and clearance of HSV1. Objective: It is of great importance to improve our knowledge about the kinetics of CTL responses to primary and secondary HSV-1 infection. Methods: Using a sensitive tech...
