Disorderly conduct in gammadelta versus alphabeta T cell lineage commitment.
The mechanism of T cell precursor commitment to the gammadelta or alphabeta T cell lineage remains unclear. While TCR signal strength has emerged as a key factor in lineage commitment based on TCR transgenic models, the entire TCR repertoire may not possess the same discriminatory power. A counterbalance to the TCR as the lineage determinant is the pre-existing heterogeneity in gene expression ...
متن کاملThe recognition pattern of gammadelta T cells.
The main function of immune system is to recognize and respond to foreign antigens. During the course of evolution, the body has successfully developed four kinds of mechanisms to recognize antigens, including pattern recognition mediated by macrophages, missing-self and induced-self recognition for NK cells, antigen specific recognition for alphabeta T cells and B cells and "broad-spectrum spe...
متن کاملModulation of T-cell activation by malignant melanoma initiating cells.
Highly immunogenic cancers such as malignant melanoma are capable of inexorable tumor growth despite the presence of antitumor immunity. Thus, only a restricted minority of tumorigenic malignant cells may possess the phenotypic and functional characteristics needed to modulate tumor-directed immune activation. Here we provide evidence supporting this hypothesis. Tumorigenic ABCB5(+) malignant m...
متن کاملRole of gammadelta T cells in protecting normal airway function
Since their discovery 15 years ago, the role of gammadelta T cells has remained somewhat elusive. Responses of gammadelta T cells have been found in numerous infectious and non-infectious diseases. New evidence points to gammadelta T cells' functioning in the airways to maintain normal airway responsiveness or tone. In the lung, distinct subsets of gammadelta T cell subsets seem to have specifi...
متن کاملSuperantigen recognition by gammadelta T cells: SEA recognition site for human Vgamma2 T cell receptors.
Human gammadelta T cells expressing the Vgamma2Vdelta2 antigen receptors recognize nonpeptide prenyl pyrophosphate and alkylamine antigens. We find that they also recognize staphylococcal enterotoxin A superantigens in a manner distinct from the recognition of nonpeptide antigens. Using chimeric and mutant toxins, SEA amino acid residues 20-27 were shown to be required for gammadelta TCR recogn...
