B lymphocyte activation by contact-mediated interactions with T lymphocytes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
T cell dependent B lymphocyte activation requires interactions between numerous receptor-ligand pairs on the two cell types. Recently, advances have been made both in understanding how these various signals regulate B cell effector functions and in identifying many new receptor-ligand pairs that contribute to the regulation of B cell function by T lymphocytes.

B and T Lymphocyte Attenuator is a Target of miR-155 during Naive CD4+ T Cell Activation
Background: MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) is upregulated during T cell activation, but the exact mechanisms by which it influences CD4+ T cell activation remain unclear. Objective: To examine whether the B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) is a target of miR-155 during naïve CD4+ T cell activation. Methods: Firefly luciferase reporter plasmids pEZX-MT01-wild-type-BTLA and pEZX-MT01-mutant-BTLA were ...
متن کاملIntercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) has a central role in cell-cell contact-mediated immune mechanisms.
The role of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) in immune function was probed by using the Wehi-CAM-1 (W-CAM-1) monoclonal antibody. This antibody blocks aggregation of cell lines mediated by the ICAM-1 molecule and is here shown to block homotypic binding of purified populations of activated T and B lymphocytes (blasts) and also aggregation of mixed T- and B-cell blasts. We also demonst...
متن کاملNonspecific activation of murine lymphocytes. VI. Mediation of synergistic interaction between T and B lymphocytes by a cell- associated, reciprocally acting lymphocyte proliferation helper
The mechanism by which B and T lymphocytes interact synergistically in the proliferative response to 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME) as a mitogen was investigated in cultures of C3H/St spleen cells. The interaction between these cells required physical contact between the collaborating cell types, and was not mediated by the release of a soluble factor into the culture supernate. Sonicates of spleen c...
متن کاملCell-cell interactions in synovitis: Interactions between T lymphocytes and synovial cells
Mechanisms whereby T lymphocytes contribute to synovial inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis are poorly understood. Here we review data that indicate an important role for cell contact between synovial T cells, adjacent macrophages and fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS). Thus, T cells activated by cytokines, endothelial transmigration, extracellular matrix or by auto-antigens can promote cytoki...
متن کاملCellular Interactions in the Proliferative Response of Human T and B Lymphocytes to Phytomitogens and Allogeneic Lymphocytes
In vitro studies were performed to determine the proliferative responsiveness of human peripheral blood thymus-dependent (T) and thymus-independent (B) lymphocytes to phytomitogens and allogeneic lymphocytes. Recombination of T and B cells, with selective inhibition of proliferation of one of the two populations, was used to identify cellular interactions which may contribute to cell proliferat...
