Identification of vaccine candidate peptides in the NcSRS2 surface protein of Neospora caninum by using CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes and gamma interferon-secreting T lymphocytes of infected holstein cattle.
Previously, our laboratory showed that Holstein cattle experimentally infected with Neospora caninum develop parasite-specific CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) that lyse infected, autologous target cells through a perforin-granzyme pathway. To identify specific parasite antigens inducing bovine CTL and helper T-lymphocyte responses for vaccine development against bovine neosporosis, the tachy...
متن کاملNeospora caninum-infected cattle develop parasite-specific CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
Cattle infected with Neospora caninum readily experience transplacental parasite transmission, presumably after maternal parasitemia, leading to abortion or birth of congenitally infected calves. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) are important mediators of protective immunity against Toxoplasma gondii, an intracellular apicomplexan protozoan closely related to N. caninum. In this study, N. caninum-...

CTLs play a critical role in �ghting chronic virus infection and cancers. Despite the tremendous efforts spent so far, generating potent and highly effective CTLs remain a major roadblock for disease control (prevention and therapies). Activation of CTLs requires different stimuli and is in�uenced by different disease conditions. In this special issue, several papers investigated functions of c...
متن کاملCytotoxic T Lymphocytes and Vaccine Development
Along with the development of new technology, the molecular mechanisms of the generation of functional CTLs have been elucidated over the last several years which together will undoubtedly enhance our progression towards the development of successful vaccines for the many chronic viral infections and cancer. It has been shown that the activation of naı̈ve CTLs requires all three signals to be fu...

Research on CTLs has been booming in recent years—there are more than 250 papers related to CD8 T-cells published everymonth.With such rapid advancement in this particular aspect of immunology alone, it is important to summarize and report information on this hot topic in a timely and organized fashion. Although the submission window for this issue was open for a significantly shorter period co...
