Lymphotoxin β Receptor Controls T Cell Progenitor Entry to the Thymus
The recruitment of lymphoid progenitors to the thymus is essential to sustain T cell production throughout life. Importantly, it also limits T lineage regeneration following bone marrow transplantation, and so contributes to the secondary immunodeficiency that is caused by delayed immune reconstitution. Despite this significance, the mechanisms that control thymus colonization are poorly unders...
متن کاملPolysialic acid governs T-cell development by regulating progenitor access to the thymus.
Although the polysialyltransferase ST8Sia IV is expressed in both primary and secondary human lymphoid organs, its product, polysialic acid (polySia), has been largely overlooked by immunologists. In contrast, polySia expression and function in the nervous system has been well characterized. In this context, polySia modulates cellular adhesion, migration, cytokine response, and contact-dependen...
متن کاملT cell receptor diversity in the human thymus.
A diverse T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire is essential for adaptive immune responses and is generated by somatic recombination of TCRα and TCRβ gene segments in the thymus. Previous estimates of the total TCR diversity have studied the circulating mature repertoire, identifying 1 to 3×10(6) unique TCRβ and 0.5×10(6) TCRα sequences. Here we provide the first estimate of the total TCR diversity ...
متن کاملCytosolic entry controls CD8+-T-cell potency during bacterial infection.
Interaction with host immunoreceptors during microbial infection directly impacts the magnitude of the ensuing innate immune response. How these signals affect the quality of the adaptive T-cell response remains poorly understood. Utilizing an engineered strain of the intracellular pathogen Listeria monocytogenes that infects cells but fails to escape from the phagosome, we demonstrate the indu...
متن کاملWhat Controls T Cell Receptor Phosphorylation?
In a study published inCell, Xu et al. (2008) raised the intriguing possibility that tyrosine residues present in the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) of the cytoplasmic domain of the CD33 subunit of the T cell receptor (TCR) are sequestered in the membrane. Here, they are inaccessible to tyrosine kinases that would otherwise drive signaling. As a consequence, the authors...
