HIV-specific Cytotoxic T Cells from Long-Term Survivors Select a Unique T Cell Receptor
HIV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) are important in controlling HIV replication, but the magnitude of the CTL response does not predict clinical outcome. In four donors with delayed disease progression we identified Vbeta13.2 T cell receptors (TCRs) with very similar and unusually long beta-chain complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3) regions in CTL specific for the immunodominant ...
متن کاملThreshold of pre-T-cell-receptor surface expression is associated with αβ T-cell lineage commitment
Results: We have used a sensitive immunofluorescence technique to reveal the surface-expression profile of the pre-TCR on immature thymocyte subsets. We show that early pre-T cells (CD25+CD44–) can be subdivided on the basis of the level of surface pre-TCR expression. Detectable surface pre-TCR expression identified a rapidly cycling population of early pre-T cells which had successfully underg...
متن کاملMolecular architecture of the αβ T cell receptor-CD3 complex.
αβ T-cell receptor (TCR) activation plays a crucial role for T-cell function. However, the TCR itself does not possess signaling domains. Instead, the TCR is noncovalently coupled to a conserved multisubunit signaling apparatus, the CD3 complex, that comprises the CD3εγ, CD3εδ, and CD3ζζ dimers. How antigen ligation by the TCR triggers CD3 activation and what structural role the CD3 extracellul...
متن کاملDiversity of T-cell receptor Gene Rearrangements in South Indian Patients with Common Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Background: Precursor B-Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (precursor B-ALL) oc-curs due to the uncontrolled proliferation of B-lymphoid precursors arrested at a par-ticular stage of B-cell development. Precursor-B-ALL is classified mainly into pro-B-ALL, common-ALL and pre-B-ALL. The Common Acute Lymphoblastic Antigen CD10 is the marker for common-ALL. Objective: This study was aimed to examine the ...
متن کاملαβ T-cell receptor bias in disease and therapy (Review).
The diversity and specificity of T cell receptors (TCR), the characteristics of T-cell surface marker, are central to the adaptive immunity. TCR variability is required for successful immunization coverage because this structural foundation is indispensable for the valid identification of short antigen peptides (derived from degraded antigens) that are presented by major histocompatibility mole...
