Functionally impaired HIV-specific CD8 T cells show high affinity TCR-ligand interactions.
We eventually isolated two different clonotypic CD8 T cell subsets recognizing an HIV Pol-derived epitope peptide (IPLTEEAEL) in association with HLA-B35 from a chronic HIV-infected patient. By kinetic analysis experiments, the subsets showed a >3-fold difference in half-lives for the HLA tetramer in complex with the Pol peptide. In functional assays in vitro and ex vivo, both subsets showed su...
متن کاملHigh frequencies of functionally competent circulating Tax-specific CD8+ T cells in human T lymphotropic virus type 2 infection.
Human T lymphotropic virus type 2 (HTLV-2) is characterized by a clinically asymptomatic persistent infection in the vast majority of infected individuals. In this study, we have characterized for the first time ex vivo specific CTL responses against the HTLV-2 Tax protein. We could detect CTL responses only against a single HLA-A*0201-restricted Tax2 epitope, comprising residues 11-19 (LLYGYPV...
متن کاملHigh Frequencies of Naive Melan-a/Mart-1–Specific Cd8+ T Cells in a Large Proportion of Human Histocompatibility Leukocyte Antigen (Hla)-A2 Individuals
Using fluorescent HLA-A*0201 tetramers containing the immunodominant Melan-A/MART-1 (Melan-A) tumor-associated antigen (Ag), we previously observed that metastatic lymph nodes of melanoma patients contain high numbers of Ag-experienced Melan-A-specific cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTLs). In this paper, we enumerated and characterized ex vivo Melan-A-specific cells in peripheral blood samples from b...
متن کاملRecombinant adeno-associated virus vectors induce functionally impaired transgene product-specific CD8+ T cells in mice.
Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors were used in human trials as carriers of vaccines for HIV-1 after encouraging preclinical results. However, the clinical trials yielded disappointing results. Here we demonstrated that in mice, rAAV vectors expressing the gene encoding HIV-1 gag stimulated gag-specific CD8(+) T cells, but these T cells failed to expand after a booster immunizati...
متن کاملthe fusion protein of ctp-hbcag18-27-tapasin mediates the apoptosis of cd8+t cells and cd8+ t cell response in hla-a2 transgenic mice
conclusions in conclusion, ctp-hbcag18-27-tapasin could reduce apoptosis of cd8+ t cells, increase the percentages of ifn-γ+ cd8α+ t cells, and elicit cell-mediated immunity in hla-a2 transgenic mice; these processes were associated with activation of the pi3k/akt signaling pathway. results the results showed that ctp-hbcag18-27-tapasin significantly increased the percentages of ifn-γ+ cd8α+ t ...
