Genetic Mutations of Tim-3 Ligand and Exhausted Tim-3+ CD8+ T Cells and Survival in Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma

Tim-3 Directly Enhances CD8 T Cell

Preparation and characterization of a novel nanobody against T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin-3 (TIM-3)

Objective(s): As T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 (TIM-3) is an immune regulatory molecule; its blocking or stimulating could alter the pattern of immune response towards a desired condition. Based on the unique features of nanobodies, we aimed to construct an anti-TIM-3 nanobody as an appropriate tool for manipulating immune responses for future therapeutic purposes. Materials and Meth...

Tim-3 Negatively Regulates Cytotoxicity in Exhausted CD8+ T Cells in HIV Infection

Cytotoxic CD8(+) T cells (CTLs) contain virus infections through the release of granules containing both perforin and granzymes. T cell 'exhaustion' is a hallmark of chronic persistent viral infections including HIV. The inhibitory regulatory molecule, T cell Immunoglobulin and Mucin domain containing 3 (Tim-3) is induced on HIV-specific T cells in chronic progressive infection. These Tim-3 exp...

The Tim-3 ligand galectin-9 negatively regulates CD8+ alloreactive T cell and prolongs survival of skin graft.

CD8+ alloreactive T cells are the key mediators of accelerated rejection. Vigorous CD8+ alloreactive T cells responses against alloantigens, which is the main effector mechanism in acute allograft rejection, has been well described. But the molecular mechanisms to dampen activated CD8+ T cells are largely unknown. On the other hand, Tim-3 is a molecule expressed on terminally differentiated CD4...
