CRTAM determines the CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte lineage
Naive T cells differentiate into various effector T cells, including CD4(+) helper T cell subsets and CD8(+) cytotoxic T cells (CTL). Although cytotoxic CD4(+) T cells (CD4 +: CTL) also develop from naive T cells, the mechanism of development is elusive. We found that a small fraction of CD4(+) T cells that express class I-restricted T cell-associated molecule (CRTAM) upon activation possesses ...
متن کاملVaccinia virus-specific human CD4+ cytotoxic T-lymphocyte clones.
Vaccinia virus-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) clones were established from a healthy donor, who had been immunized with vaccinia virus vaccine, by stimulation of peripheral blood lymphocytes with UV-inactivated vaccinia virus antigen. The phenotype of all of the clones established was CD3+ CD4+ CD8- Leu11-. We used a panel of allogenic vaccinia virus-infected B-lymphoblastoid cell lines ...
متن کاملCD4+ T cells support cytotoxic T lymphocyte priming by controlling lymph node input.
Rapid induction of CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses is critical to combat acute infection with intracellular pathogens. CD4(+) T cells help prime antigen-specific CTLs in secondary lymphoid organs after infection in the periphery. Although the frequency of naïve precursors is very low, the immune system is able to efficiently screen for cognate CTLs through mechanisms that are not ...
متن کاملGenetic vaccination against the melanocyte lineage-specific antigen gp100 induces cytotoxic T lymphocyte-mediated tumor protection.
Melanocyte lineage-specific antigens, such as gp100, have been shown to induce both cellular and humoral immune responses against melanoma. Therefore, these antigens are potential targets for specific antimelanoma immunotherapy. A novel approach to induce both cellular and humoral immunity is genetic vaccination, the injection of antigen-encoding naked plasmid DNA. In a mouse model, we investig...
متن کاملThe Critical Need for CD4 Help in Maintaining Effective Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Responses
F or many viral infections, resolution of illness is associated with long-term host control of viremia rather than viral eradication. An example is EBV infection, and the fact that host immune suppression is associated with EBV-induced disease suggests that it is the immune system that is holding the virus in check (1, 2). Other viruses are typically associated with progressive uncontrolled dis...
