Poor specific T cell responses to human herpesvirus 8: A key to unleashing Kaposi sarcoma?
Government employees, are listed as coinventors on patents for the use of interleukin (IL)–12 as treatment for Kaposi sarcoma (KS). Also, R.Y. and/or his spouse, as US Government employees, are coinventors on 1 or more patents that include anti-HIV therapies, peptide vaccine therapy for HIV and other viruses, antiangiogenic compounds, and an assay for a form of IL-6 encoded by HHV-8. The creati...
متن کاملCytotoxic T-Cell Markers and Cytokines in Human Papillomavirus 16
Background and Aim: Cervical cancer is the fourth main cause of mortality among women, and annually about half a million new cases are detected in developed countries. Based on oncological studies, human papillomavirus (HPV) is classified into two categories: high-risk type and low-risk type, and most cases are related to the high-risk type of human papillomavirus. HPV 16 and 18 are among the m...
متن کاملIFN-gamma-producing human invariant NKT cells promote tumor-associated antigen-specific cytotoxic T cell responses.
CD1d-restricted invariant NKT (iNKT) cells can enhance immunity to cancer or prevent autoimmunity, depending on the cytokine profile secreted. Antitumor effects of the iNKT cell ligand alpha-galactosylceramide (alphaGC) and iNKT cell adoptive transfer have been demonstrated in various tumor models. Together with reduced numbers of iNKT cells in cancer patients, which have been linked to poor cl...
متن کاملClassical swine fever virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes and identification of a T cell epitope.
Classical swine fever virus (CSFV)-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) were derived from peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes of immunized NIH-minipigs (MHC d/d haplotype) after in vitro restimulation with infectious CSFV. Their cytotoxic activity was determined against CSFV-infected target cells obtained from simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen-transfected immortalized kidney cells of...
متن کاملIdentification of human endogenous retrovirus-specific T cell responses in vertically HIV-1-infected subjects.
Human endogenous retrovirus (HERV)-specific T cell responses in HIV-1-infected adults have been reported. Whether HERV-specific immunity exists in vertically HIV-1-infected children is unknown. We performed a cross-sectional analysis of HERV-specific T cell responses in 42 vertically HIV-1-infected children. HERV (-H, -K, and -L family)-specific T cell responses were identified in 26 of 42 subj...
