Impairment of Macrophage Presenting Ability and Viability by Echinococcus granulosus Antigens
Background: Despite advances toward an improved understanding of the evasive mechanisms leading to the establishment of cystic echinococcosis, the discovery of specific immunosuppressive mechanisms and related factors are of great interest in the development of an immunotherapeutic approach. Objective: To elucidate immunosuppressive effects of bioactive factors contained in chromatographic frac...
متن کاملHIV p24 as Scaffold for Presenting Conformational HIV Env Antigens
Heterologous protein scaffolds engrafted with structurally defined HIV Env epitopes recognized by broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) represent a promising strategy to elicit broad neutralizing antibodies. In such regards, a protein scaffold based on the HIV p24 CA protein is a highly attractive approach, providing also Gag epitopes for eliciting HIV non-neutralizing protective an...
متن کاملHow thymic antigen presenting cells sample the body's self-antigens.
Our perception of the scope self-antigen availability for tolerance induction in the thymus has profoundly changed over the recent years following new insights into the cellular and molecular complexity of intrathymic antigen presentation. The diversity of self-peptide display is on the one hand afforded by the remarkable heterogeneity of thymic antigen presenting cells (APCs) and on the other ...
متن کاملCD1 and lipid antigens: intracellular pathways for antigen presentation.
Recently, different members of the CD1 family of MHC-like molecules have been shown to sample different intracellular compartments to present lipid and glycolipid antigens to T cells. Emerging models suggest that CD1 may have evolved to monitor the integrity of membrane lipids and/or to present microbial lipid antigens to both alpha beta and gamma delta T cells.
متن کاملMycobacterium bovis-infected cervine alveolar macrophages secrete lymphoreactive lipid antigens.
Tuberculosis is caused by intracellular bacteria belonging to the genus Mycobacterium, including M. tuberculosis and M. bovis. Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are the primary host cell for inhaled mycobacteria. However, little is known about the mechanisms by which infected AMs can process and present mycobacterial antigens to primed lymphocytes and how these responses may affect ensuing protection ...
