Exogenously Provided Peptides of a Self-antigen Can Be Processed into Forms that Are Recognized by Self–T Cells
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules can present peptides derived from two different sources. The predominant source of peptide in uninfected antigen presenting cells (APCs) is from self-proteins that are synthesized within the cell and traffic through the MHC class II compartment. The other source of antigen is endocytosed proteins, which includes both self- and foreign pr...
متن کاملLipoproteins/peptides are sepsis-inducing toxins from bacteria that can be neutralized by synthetic anti-endotoxin peptides
Sepsis, a life-threatening syndrome with increasing incidence worldwide, is triggered by an overwhelming inflammation induced by microbial toxins released into the bloodstream during infection. A well-known sepsis-inducing factor is the membrane constituent of Gram-negative bacteria, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), signalling via Toll-like receptor-4. Although sepsis is caused in more than 50% cases ...
متن کاملActivated antigen-presenting cells select and present chemically modified peptides recognized by unique CD4 T cells.
CD4 T cells recognized posttranslationally modified peptides of the protein hen egg-white lysozyme (HEL), consisting of nitration of tyrosines and modifications of tryptophans in the T cell contact residues of the peptides. T cells were directed against modifications of a chemically dominant HEL peptide as well as a minor HEL peptide, bound to the class II histocompatibility molecule I-A(k). Th...
متن کاملThings that can be made into themselves
One says that a property P of sets of natural numbers can be made into itself iff there is a numbering α0, α1, . . . of all left-r.e. sets such that the index set {e : αe satisfies P} has the property P as well. For example, the property of being Martin-Löf random can be made into itself. Herein we characterize those singleton properties which can be made into themselves. A second direction of ...
متن کاملTriphenylalanine peptides self-assemble into nanospheres and nanorods that are different from the nanovesicles and nanotubes formed by diphenylalanine peptides.
Understanding the nature of the self-assembly of peptide nanostructures at the molecular level is critical for rational design of functional bio-nanomaterials. Recent experimental studies have shown that triphenylalanine(FFF)-based peptides can self-assemble into solid plate-like nanostructures and nanospheres, which are different from the hollow nanovesicles and nanotubes formed by diphenylala...
