Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase specific, cytotoxic T cells as immune regulators.
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is an immunoregulatory enzyme that is implicated in suppressing T-cell immunity in normal and pathologic settings. Here, we describe that spontaneous cytotoxic T-cell reactivity against IDO exists not only in patients with cancer but also in healthy persons. We show that the presence of such IDO-specific CD8(+) T cells boosted T-cell immunity against viral or t...
متن کاملTIMs: central regulators of immune responses
Exhaustion of T cell responses during chronic viral infections has been observed in both mouse and man and has been attributed to up-regulation of PD-1 on the surface of exhausted T cells. In patients with chronic human HIV infection, T cell exhaustion leads to opportunistic infections associated with AIDS. However, not all the exhausted T cells express PD-1, suggesting that other molecules may...
متن کاملToll-like receptors are key participants in innate immune responses.
During an infection, one of the principal challenges for the host is to detect the pathogen and activate a rapid defensive response. The Toll-like family of receptors (TLRs), among other pattern recognition receptors (PRR), performs this detection process in vertebrate and invertebrate organisms. These type I transmembrane receptors identify microbial conserved structures or pathogen-associated...
متن کاملMaking bigger plants: key regulators of final organ size.
Organ growth in plants is controlled by both genetic factors and environmental inputs. Recent progress has been made in identifying genetic determinants of final organ size and in characterizing a pathway that may link organ growth with environmental conditions. Some identified growth regulatory factors act downstream of plant hormones, while others appear to be components of novel signaling pa...
متن کاملDrosophila Rel proteins are central regulators of a robust, multi-organ immune network.
Survival of all animals depends on effective protection against infection. In Drosophila, opportunistic infection kills larvae if they lack the Rel/NF-kappaB proteins Dorsal and Dif. We have used tissue-specific expression of Dif and Dorsal to reveal that these Rel proteins act in three different tissues to defend larvae from infection. Dif and Dorsal act in circulating blood cells, where they ...
