CD4+ T cells from lupus-prone mice avoid antigen-specific tolerance induction in vivo.
Activated T cells in spontaneous lupus presumably bypass normal tolerance mechanisms in the periphery, since thymic tolerance appears intact. To determine whether such T cells indeed avoid in vivo peripheral tolerance mechanisms, we assessed their activation and recall responses after in vivo Ag stimulation in the absence of exogenously supplied costimulatory signals. Naive CD4(+) AND (transgen...
متن کاملInduction of homologous rather than heterologous antigen-specific CD4 T cell responses is critical for functional CD8 T cell responses in mice transgenic for a foreign antigen.
The development of a successful cancer vaccine requires the ability to break immunological tolerance to self-Ags expressed on tumor cells. The transgenic rat insulin promoter (RIP) OVA(LOW) mouse model has been reported to be hyporesponsive for both OVA-specific CD4 and CD8 T cell responses. The experiments described in the current study show that this hyporesponsiveness can be overcome by incl...
متن کاملAntigen compartmentation and T helper cell tolerance induction
The process of antigen recognition depends in part on the amount of peptide antigen available and the affinity of the T cell receptor for a particular peptide-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule complex. The availability of self antigen is limited by antigen processing, which is compartmentalized such that peptide antigens presented by MHC class I molecules originate in the cytoplas...
متن کاملInduction of specific T cell tolerance by Fas ligand-expressing antigen-presenting cells.
Autocrine interaction of Fas and Fas ligand leads to apoptosis of activated T cells, a process that is critical for the maintenance of peripheral T cell tolerance. Paracrine interactions of Fas ligand with T cells also may play an important role in the maintenance of tolerance, as Fas ligand can create immune-privileged sites and prevent graft rejection by inducing apoptosis in T cells. We surm...
متن کاملAntigen-specific T cell activation and proliferation during oral tolerance induction.
One of several routes of achieving immunologic tolerance is through functional inactivation of Ag-specific T cells. Oral administration of Ag can allow survival of the Ag-specific T cells that are functionally anergic. The aim of this study was to investigate whether functional inactivation of Ag-specific T cells is directed through an activation process and to further define the differentiativ...
