Heteromeric interactions regulate butyrophilin (BTN) and BTN-like molecules governing γδ T cell biology
The long-held view that gamma delta (γδ) T cells in mice and humans are fundamentally dissimilar, as are γδ cells in blood and peripheral tissues, has been challenged by emerging evidence of the cells' regulation by butyrophilin (BTN) and butyrophilin-like (BTNL) molecules. Thus, murine Btnl1 and the related gene, Skint1, mediate T cell receptor (TCR)-dependent selection of murine intraepitheli...
متن کاملAltered expression of Butyrophilin (BTN) and BTN‐like (BTNL) genes in intestinal inflammation and colon cancer
Several Butyrophilin (BTN) and Btn-like (BTNL) molecules control T lymphocyte responses, and are genetically associated with inflammatory disorders and cancer. In this study, we present a comprehensive expression analysis of human and murine BTN and BTNL genes in conditions associated with intestinal inflammation and cancer. Using real-time PCR, expression of human BTN and BTNL genes was analyz...
متن کاملEpithelia Use Butyrophilin-like Molecules to Shape Organ-Specific γδ T Cell Compartments
Many body surfaces harbor organ-specific γδ T cell compartments that contribute to tissue integrity. Thus, murine dendritic epidermal T cells (DETCs) uniquely expressing T cell receptor (TCR)-Vγ5 chains protect from cutaneous carcinogens. The DETC repertoire is shaped by Skint1, a butyrophilin-like (Btnl) gene expressed specifically by thymic epithelial cells and suprabasal keratinocytes. Howev...
متن کاملImmunosurveillance by human γδ T lymphocytes: the emerging role of butyrophilins
In contrast to conventional T lymphocytes, which carry an αβ T-cell receptor and recognize antigens as peptides presented by major histocompatibility complex class I or class II molecules, human γδ T cells recognize different metabolites such as non-peptidic pyrophosphate molecules that are secreted by microbes or overproduced by tumor cells. Hence, γδ T cells play a role in immunosurveillance ...
متن کاملA New BTN LCD with High Contrast Ratio and Large Cell Gap
The optical properties of a (0, 2π) transmissive BTN LC cell is optimized by parameter space method. Experimentally the high contrast ratios above 80 within -80° to 80° viewing angle ranges were first obtained. The highest contrast ratio is 250. The large d∆n makes this new BTN large cell gap and low operating voltage possibility. Introduction Bistable twisted nematic (BTN) liquid crystal displ...
