Suppression of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis using peptide mimics of CD28.
The B7:CD28/CTLA-4 costimulatory pathway plays a critical role in regulating the immune response and thus provides an ideal target for therapeutic manipulation of autoimmune disease. Previous studies have shown that blockade of CD28 signaling by mAbs can both prevent and exacerbate experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). In this study, we have designed two CD28 peptide mimics that sele...
متن کاملCD28 costimulation is crucial for the development of spontaneous autoimmune encephalomyelitis.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a severe central nervous system disease. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mimics MS in mice. We report that spontaneous development of EAE in RAG-1-deficient mice transgenic for a myelin basic protein (MBP)-specific TCR (TgMBP+/RAG-1-/-) requires expression of the T cell costimulatory molecule CD28. Surprisingly, T cells from CD28-/-TgMBP+/RAG-1-/- mice...
متن کاملSuppression of autoimmunity via microbial mimics of altered peptide ligands.
Molecular mimics of self-antigens can behave as altered peptide ligands and serve to ameliorate autoimmune disease. Analysis of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis with proteomic autoantibody microarrays reveals that there might exist a wide variety of microbes with features that mimic self-epitopes. Autoimmunity could therefore be modulated via microbial immunity, which may account for r...
متن کاملA retro-inverso peptide mimic of CD28 encompassing the MYPPPY motif adopts a polyproline type II helix and inhibits encephalitogenic T cells in vitro.
Complete activation of T cells requires two signals: an Ag-specific signal delivered via the TCR by the peptide-MHC complex and a second costimulatory signal largely provided by B7:CD28/CTLA-4 interactions. Previous studies have shown that B7 blockade can either ameliorate experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by interfering with CD28 signaling or exacerbate the disease by concomitant block...
متن کاملRegulatory functions of CD8+CD28- T cells in an autoimmune disease model.
CD8+ T cell depletion renders CD28-deficient mice susceptible to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). In addition, CD8-/-CD28-/- double-knockout mice are susceptible to EAE. These findings suggest a role for CD8+ T cells in the resistance of CD28-deficient mice to disease. Adoptive transfer of CD8+CD28- T cells into CD8-/- mice results in significant suppression of disease, while CD...
