Thymic T-Cell Education: Positive & Negative Selection
TOLERANCE (which is antigen-specific) must be distinguished from immune deficiency (non-specific). Its most important manifestation, the maintenance of SELFTOLERANCE, was originally explained by the Clonal Selection theory as the result of CLONAL ABORTION of self-reactive clones. However, potentially self-reactive Tand B-cells do exist in normal individuals, leading to the recognition of the im...
متن کاملNck adaptors are positive regulators of the size and sensitivity of the T-cell repertoire.
The size and sensitivity of the T-cell repertoire governs the effectiveness of immune responses against invading pathogens. Both are modulated by T-cell receptor (TCR) activity through molecular mechanisms, which remain unclear. Here, we provide genetic evidence that the SH2/SH3 domain containing proteins Nck lower the threshold of T-cell responsiveness. The hallmarks of Nck deletion were T-cel...
متن کاملADENOSINE DEAMINASE ACTIVITY IN ESTROGEN RECEPTOR POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE HUMAN BREAST CANCER CELL LINES
ABSTRACT Background: The aims of this study were to assay the activity of adenosine deaminase (ADA) in estrogen receptor positive (MCF-7) and negative (MDA-MB468) breast cancer cell lines. Methods: MDA-MB468 and MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines were cultured in complete medium, striped serum with and without 0.0 1~-LM diethylstilbestrol (DES), complete medium in the presence and absence of 111M ...
متن کاملT cell receptor signalling.
Upon engagement of the TCR by antigen presented on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, the Src family kinase Lck is activated and proceeds to phosphorylate immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) on the ε, δ, γ and ζ subunits of the TCR. Phosphorylated ITAMs promote the recruitment and subsequent activation of another tyrosine kinase ZAP-70. Two known substrates of...
متن کاملEfficiency and Impact of Positive and Negative Magnetic Separation on Monocyte Derived Dendritic Cell Generation
Background: The immunomagnetic separation technique is the basis of monocyte isolation and further generation of monocyte-derived dendritic cells. Objective: To compare the efficiency of monocyte positive and negative separation, concentration of beads, and their impact on generated dendritic cells. Methods: Monocytes were obtained using monoclonal antibody-coated magnetic beads followed the Fi...
