Major histocompatibility complex-expressing nonhematopoietic astroglial cells prime only CD8+ T lymphocytes: astroglial cells as perpetuators but not initiators of CD4+ T cell responses in the central nervous system
The potential of cells within the central nervous system (CNS) to initiate T lymphocyte responses is not known and was the subject of this study. Using the ability of virgin T lymphocytes to proliferate in a primary response to allogeneic determinants on antigen-presenting cells (APC), we have examined the capacity of major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-expressing astroglial cells to act as ...
متن کاملMemory CD4 T cells enhance primary CD8 T-cell responses.
CD4 T-cell help is required for optimal memory CD8 T-cell responses. We have found that engaging preexisting CD4 Th1, but not Th2, memory cells at the time of CD8 T-cell priming results in increased CD8 effector responses to both bacterial and viral pathogens. The enhanced responses are characterized by increased numbers of cytokine-producing, antigen-specific cells. These findings suggest that...
متن کاملStructure and specificity of T cell receptor gamma/delta on major histocompatibility complex antigen-specific CD3+, CD4-, CD8- T lymphocytes
Analyses of TCR-bearing murine and human T cells have defined a unique subpopulation of T cells that express the TCR-gamma/delta proteins. The specificity of TCR-gamma/delta T cells and their role in the immune response have not yet been elucidated. Here we examine alloreactive TCR-gamma/delta T cell lines and clones that recognize MHC-encoded antigens. A BALB/c nu/nu (H-2d)-derived H-2k specif...
متن کاملSTRUCTURE AND SPECIFICITY OF T CELL RECEPTOR y/8 ON MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX ANTIGEN-SPECIFIC CD3+, CD4-, CD8- T LYMPHOCYTES
Most antigen-specific peripheral murine Tlymphocytes express the Tcell differentiation antigens, CD4 or CD8, and a TCRcomposed ofa CD3-associated disulfidelinked heterodimer, TCR-a/(3 (1, 2) . However, recent studies have identified a distinct population of CD3+,CD4-,CD8cells that appear early in thymic ontogeny and are maintained in the mature thymus and the peripheral lymphoid organs througho...
متن کاملSurvival of Mature CD4 T Lymphocytes Is Dependent on Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II–expressing Dendritic Cells
Thymic T cell development is controlled by T cell receptor (TCR)-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) interactions, whereas a further dependence of peripheral mature T cells on TCR-MHC contact has not been described so far. To study this question, CD4 T cell survival was surveyed in mice lacking MHC class II expression and in mice expressing MHC class II exclusively on dendritic cells. Since ...
