Human β-Cell Killing by Autoreactive Preproinsulin-Specific CD8 T Cells Is Predominantly Granule-Mediated With the Potency Dependent Upon T-Cell Receptor Avidity
The end-stage immunopathology of type 1 diabetes resulting in β-cell destruction appears to be strongly dominated by cytotoxic CD8 T lymphocytes (CD8 T cells). However, the mechanism of cytotoxicity used by autoreactive CD8 T cells in the human setting remains unknown. Using type 1 diabetes patient-derived preproinsulin-specific CD8 T-cell clones recognizing either an HLA-A2 (A*0201) or HLA-A24...
متن کاملContribution of T cell receptor affinity to overall avidity for virus-specific CD8+ T cell responses.
Prior analysis has characterized the clonal characteristics of effector CD8(+) T cells specific for the prominent influenza A virus nucleoprotein (NP) and acid polymerase (PA) peptides presented by H2D(b). Using a single-cell approach and determination of CDR3beta profiles, a limited, predominantly "public" repertoire was found for CD8(+)D(b)NP(366)(+)Vbeta8.3+ cells, whereas diverse and "priva...
متن کاملCD8 T cell-mediated killing of Cryptococcus neoformans requires granulysin and is dependent on CD4 T cells and IL-15.
Granulysin is located in the acidic granules of cytotoxic T cells. Although the purified protein has antimicrobial activity against a broad spectrum of microbial pathogens, direct evidence for granulysin-mediated cytotoxicity has heretofore been lacking. Studies were performed to examine the regulation and activity of granulysin expressed by CD8 T cells using Cryptococcus neoformans, which is o...
متن کاملT-cell receptor gene transfer exclusively to human CD8(+) cells enhances tumor cell killing.
Transfer of tumor-specific T-cell receptor (TCR) genes into patient T cells is a promising strategy in cancer immunotherapy. We describe here a novel vector (CD8-LV) derived from lentivirus, which delivers genes exclusively and specifically to CD8(+) cells. CD8-LV mediated stable in vitro and in vivo reporter gene transfer as well as efficient transfer of genes encoding TCRs recognizing the mel...
متن کاملCD8+CD122+CD49dlow regulatory T cells maintain T-cell homeostasis by killing activated T cells via Fas/FasL-mediated cytotoxicity.
The Fas/FasL (CD95/CD178) system is required for immune regulation; however, it is unclear in which cells, when, and where Fas/FasL molecules act in the immune system. We found that CD8(+)CD122(+) cells, which are mostly composed of memory T cells in comparison with naïve cells in the CD8(+)CD122(-) population, were previously shown to include cells with regulatory activity and could be separat...
