Decay-accelerating factor modulates induction of T cell immunity
Decay-accelerating factor (Daf) dissociates C3/C5 convertases that assemble on host cells and thereby prevents complement activation on their surfaces. We demonstrate that during primary T cell activation, the absence of Daf on antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and on T cells enhances T cell proliferation and augments the induced frequency of effector cells. The effect is factor D- and, at least ...
متن کاملDecay - Accelerating Factor - Release from Cell Membrane
Decay-accelerating factor (DAF) ~ is a membrane protein that inhibits amplification of the complement cascade on cell surfaces. By binding to C3b or C4b complement fragments that accidentally deposit on the cell membrane, DAF blocks the assembly of both the classical and alternative C3 and C5 convertases (1-3). In this manner, DAF protects host cells from damage by autologous complement. DAF is...
متن کاملComplement-dependent enhancement of CD8+ T cell immunity to lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection in decay-accelerating factor-deficient mice.
Decay-accelerating factor (DAF, CD55) is a GPI-anchored membrane protein that regulates complement activation on autologous cells. In addition to protecting host tissues from complement attack, DAF has been shown to inhibit CD4+ T cell immunity in the setting of model Ag immunization. However, whether DAF regulates natural T cell immune response during pathogenic infection is not known. We desc...
متن کاملAPRIL modulates B and T cell immunity.
The TNF-like ligands APRIL and BLyS are close relatives and share the capacity to bind the receptors TACI and BCMA. BLyS has been shown to play an important role in B cell homeostasis and autoimmunity, but the biological role of APRIL remains less well defined. Analysis of T cells revealed an activation-dependent increase in APRIL mRNA expression. We therefore generated mice expressing APRIL as...
متن کاملDonor deficiency of decay-accelerating factor accelerates murine T cell-mediated cardiac allograft rejection.
Decay-accelerating factor (DAF) is a cell surface regulator that accelerates the dissociation of C3/C5 convertases and thereby prevents the amplification of complement activation on self cells. In the context of transplantation, DAF has been thought to primarily regulate antibody-mediated allograft injury, which is in part serum complement-dependent. Based on our previously delineated link betw...
