Comment on "Tim-3 directly enhances CD8 T cell responses to acute Listeria monocytogenes infection".
T cell Ig and mucin domain (Tim) 3 is a surface molecule expressed throughout the immune system that can mediate both stimulatory and inhibitory effects. Previous studies have provided evidence that Tim-3 functions to enforce CD8 T cell exhaustion, a dysfunctional state associated with chronic stimulation. In contrast, the role of Tim-3 in the regulation of CD8 T cell responses to acute and tra...
متن کاملDepletion of CD4+ T cells during immunization with nonviable Listeria monocytogenes causes enhanced CD8+ T cell-mediated protection against listeriosis.
Immunization of mice with nonviable Listeria monocytogenes generates an insufficient CD8(+) T cell response and consequently only limited protection against subsequent L. monocytogenes infection. We have recently demonstrated that depletion of regulatory CD4(+) T cells during immunization significantly enhances CD8(+) T cell responses. In the present study, we determined the impact of CD4(+) T ...
متن کاملPathogen-specific CD8 T cell responses are directly inhibited by IL-10.
Regulation of CD8 T cell expansion and contraction is essential for successful immune defense against intracellular pathogens. IL-10 is a regulatory cytokine that can restrict T cell responses by inhibiting APC functions. IL-10, however, can also have direct effects on T cells. Although blockade or genetic deletion of IL-10 enhances T cell-mediated resistance to infections, the extent to which ...
متن کاملRole of CD4 T cell help and costimulation in CD8 T cell responses during Listeria monocytogenes infection.
CD4 T cells are known to assist the CD8 T cell response by activating APC via CD40-CD40 ligand (L) interactions. However, recent data have shown that bacterial products can directly activate APC through Toll-like receptors, resulting in up-regulation of costimulatory molecules necessary for the efficient priming of naive T cells. It remains unclear what role CD4 T cell help and various costimul...
متن کاملEnhanced Virus-Specific CD8+ T Cell Responses by Listeria monocytogenes-Infected Dendritic Cells in the Context of Tim-3 Blockade
In this study, we engineered Listeria monocytogens (Lm) by deleting the LmΔactA/ΔinlB virulence determinants and inserting HCV-NS5B consensus antigens to develop a therapeutic vaccine against hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. We tested this recombinant Lm-HCV vaccine in triggering of innate and adaptive immune responses in vitro using immune cells from HCV-infected and uninfected individuals. ...
