Endogenous altered peptide ligands can affect peripheral T cell responses
T cells potentially encounter a large number of endogenous self-peptide/MHC ligands in the thymus and the periphery. These endogenous ligands are critical to both positive and negative selection in the thymus; however, their effect on peripheral T cells has not been directly ascertained. Using the murine allelic Hbd (64-76)/I-Ek self-antigen model, we have previously identified altered peptide ...
متن کاملT Cell Responses to Viral Infections – Opportunities for Peptide Vaccination
An effective immune response against viral infections depends on the activation of cytotoxic T cells that can clear infection by killing virus-infected cells. Proper activation of these T cells depends on professional antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells (DCs). In this review, we will discuss the potential of peptide-based vaccines for prevention and treatment of viral diseases. We...
متن کاملSynthetic Peptides, Peptide Pools and Peptide Arrays for the Analysis of B- and T-Cell Responses
The last years have shown that the focus of pharmaceutical drug discovery efforts shifted towards biologics and knowledge based approaches to develop vaccines for a variety of infectious diseases and cancer. In addition, more and more peptide based drugs reaching late stage clinical trials or are already approved by the FDA. Finally, content driven peptide based tools such as peptide arrays or ...
متن کاملPost-Translational Modifications in Secreted Peptide Hormones in Plants
More than a dozen secreted peptides are now recognized as important hormones that coordinate and specify cellular functions in plants. Recent evidence has shown that secreted peptide hormones often undergo post-translational modification and proteolytic processing, which are critical for their function. Such 'small post-translationally modified peptide hormones' constitute one of the largest gr...
متن کاملPost-translational modifications in embryonic cell cycle
Development is a highly ordered process that institutes considerable changes in cell cycle structure of the different cells composing the embryo. Cell fate is decided at early stages of embryogenesis in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). These cells are derived from the inner cell mass of the primordial embryo and can give rise to all cell lineages of the 3 primary germ layers. The cell cycle of ESCs...
