CTL effector function within the central nervous system requires CD4+ T cells.
CTL responses induced during most viral infections are independent of help derived from the CD4+ T cell population. However, clearance of virus from the central nervous system (CNS) during infection with the neurotropic JHM strain of mouse hepatitis virus is inhibited in the absence of CD4+ T cells. Adoptive transfer of activated CD8+ T cells with virus-specific cytolytic activity into CD4+ T c...
متن کاملCutting edge: cross-presentation as a mechanism for efficient recruitment of tumor-specific CTL to the brain.
The number and localization of effector cells to the tumor site are crucial elements for immune rejection of solid tumors. However, for cerebral malignancies, antitumor responses need to be finely tuned to avoid neuropathologic consequences. In this study, we determine factors that regulate CTL localization and tumoricidal function after intracerebral implantation of tumors expressing model Ag....
متن کاملStrong Immune Responses Induced by a DNA Vaccine Containing HPV16 Truncated E7 C-terminal Linked to HSP70 Gene
Background: Vaccines capable of controlling tumor virus based infections are found difficult to develop due to the consistence latent infection in the host. DNA vaccines are attractive tools for the development of HPV vaccines and inducing antigen-specific immunity owing to the stability, simplicity of delivery, safety and cost effectiveness. However, there is a need to increase their potency b...
متن کاملCTL Responses to DCs Stimulated with Leishmania Antigens Detected by DCs Expressing Leishmania gp63
Background: Leishmania is a pathogenic parasite which infects mononuclear cells in vertebrate hosts. Different strategies have been taken to develop immunity against Leishmania . DCs loaded with immunogenic antigen have resulted in different levels of Th1-type immune response and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) activity. Objective: To evaluate the potency of DCs primed with soluble Leishmania mex...
متن کاملTwo mechanisms for tumor evasion of preexisting cytotoxic T-cell responses: lessons from recurrent tumors.
Tumors evade host immunity at both the induction and effector phases Most studies have focused on tumor evasion at the induction phase, and, due in part to poor antitumor CTL responses to most tumors, the mechanism for evasion of CTL effector function is less clear. Here we have taken advantage of the strong CTL responses to a costimulator B7-1-transfected tumor to study the mechanism for tumor...
