Major histocompatibility complex-restricted antigen presentation to antigen-reactive T cells by B lymphocyte tumor cells
Previous reports have demonstrated that accessory cells function to present soluble protein antigens in association with gene products encoded within the I region of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) to antigen-reactive T helper cells. The biochemical events that occur during antigen presentation are, however, not well-documented primarily because of the difficulties involved in purify...
متن کاملEthanol: an enhancer of major histocompatibility complex antigen expression.
Ethanol enhances expression of cell surface class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens in a variety of cell lines; up to an eightfold increase is observed in an embryonic cell line. In ethanol-treated L cells, increased cell surface expression of MHC antigens occurs with a concomitant increase in steady-state RNA levels. This effect is promoter dependent and restricted, because not...
متن کاملRecognition of carbohydrate by major histocompatibility complex class I- restricted, glycopeptide-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes
Cytotoxic T cells (CTL) recognize short peptide epitopes presented by class I glycoproteins encoded by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). It is not yet known whether peptides containing posttranslationally modified amino acids can also be recognized by CTL. To address this issue, we have studied the immunogenicity and recognition of a glycopeptide carrying an O-linked N-acetylglucosami...
متن کاملMechanisms of tolerance induction in major histocompatibility complex class II-restricted T cells specific for a blood-borne self-antigen
Transgenic mice expressing a major histocompatibility complex class II-restricted T cell receptor with specificity for a natural self-antigen, the fifth component of complement, were generated to analyze the mechanism of tolerance induction to a blood-borne self-protein. In the absence of C5 protein thymocytes from T cell receptor transgenic mice develop into mature CD4 single positive cells wh...
متن کاملLeishmaa / a major - specific , CD 4 + , Major Histocompatibility Complex Class H - restricted T Cells
Several studies indicate that the outcome of experimental murine cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania major (Lm) is determined by immunological events occurring shortly after infection. These events lead to outgrowth of either protective CD4 + T cells in the C57BL/6 mouse, which cures, or exacerbative cells in the BALB/c mouse, which succumbs to disease. Potential factors influencing th...
