Cytotoxic CD4 T Cells in Antiviral Immunity
CD4 T cells that acquire cytotoxic phenotype and function have been repeatedly identified in humans, mice, and other species in response to many diverse pathogens. Since CD4 cytotoxic T cells are able to recognize antigenic determinants unique from those recognized by the parallel CD8 cytotoxic T cells, they can potentially contribute additional immune surveillance and direct effector function ...
متن کاملEngineering Anti-Tumor T Cell Immunity
T cell immunity is critical for protection against infectious agents as well as cancer. T cell immune response is a well orchestrated process that involves three key components. CD8+ T cells that harbor cytolytic machinery and can target and kill the tumor cells in an antigen specific manner, CD4+ T cells that can either “help” the generation of a productive CD8+ T cell or “regulate/suppress” i...
متن کاملEngineering effective T-cell based antitumor immunity
The adoptive transfer of synthetic siRNA-mediated cblb-depleted autologous CD8+ T cells acts as a potent adjuvant for dendritic cell (DC) vaccination and provides a significant therapeutic benefit. Our proof-of-concept study validates the strategy of inhibiting CBLB as a rational approach to augment the effectiveness of adoptively transferred immune cells.
متن کاملAdult Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Tissue Engineering
The identification of multipotential mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from adult human tissues such as bone marrow and connective tissues has provided exciting prospects for cell-based tissue engineering and regeneration. This review article focuses on the biology of MSCs, their differentiation potentials in vitro and in vivo, and their application in tissue engineering...
متن کاملCpG pretreatment enhances antiviral T-cell immunity against cytomegalovirus.
Major histocompatibility complex class I-restricted T-cell immunity is essential to control infection with cytomegalovirus (CMV), a clinically important virus that causes significant disease in immunocompromised individuals. Cross-presentation is considered the primary mode of antigen presentation to generate protective antiviral CD8⁺ T-cell immunity. Herpesviruses, including CMV, encode numero...
