Takayasu myocarditis mediated by cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
A 15-year-old Japanese man was referred for evaluation of heart failure. Conventional heart failure therapy had little effect, and severe left ventricular dysfunction as well as elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate persisted. Magnetic resonance angiography showed aortic dilatation with wall thickening characteristic of Takayasu's arteritis. An endomyocardial biopsy specimen revealed infiltra...
متن کاملResistance of cytotoxic T lymphocytes to lysis by a clone of cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
To investigate how cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) avoid killing themselves when they destroy target cells, we compared 20 different cell lines as target cells, including several CTL cell lines, for their susceptibility to lysis by CTL. Variations in recognition of this diverse set of target cells was circumvented by attaching to all of them a monoclonal antibody to the antigen-specific receptor ...
متن کاملAntigen Recognition by Cloned Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes
Antigen recognition by cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTL) 1 and by helper T cells is restricted by gene products of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), called H-2 in the mouse (1). CTL recognize antigens in the context of Kand D-regionencoded structures, whereas helper T cells recognize antigen in the context of I-regionencoded structures. This H-2 restriction appears to be very tight: C T L s...
متن کاملCytotoxic T lymphocytes
Cancer stem cells (CSCs)/cancer-initiating cells (CICs) are characterized as a small population of cancer cells that have high tumor-initiating ability. CSCs/CICs are resistant to several cancer therapies, and eradication of CSCs/CICs is essential to cure cancer. How can we eradicate CSCs/CICs? Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) might be a promising answer.
متن کاملResistance of cloned cytotoxic T lymphocytes to cell-mediated cytotoxicity
Cloned CTLs show an unusually high resistance to lysis by effector CTLs. Several cloned CTL lines in our laboratories are absolutely refractory to lysis by other cloned CTLs, either (a) directly, (b) in the presence of lectin, or (c) by PMA-induced CTLs. They can be lysed to some extent by primary CTL, although they are less than 5% as sensitive as target cells normally used to assay primary CT...
