CD1.1 expression by mouse antigen-presenting cells and marginal zone B cells.

چکیده
Mouse CD1.1 is an MHC class I-like, non-MHC-encoded, surface glycoprotein that can be recognized by T cells, in particular NK1.1+ T cells, a subset of alphabeta T cells with semiinvariant TCRs that promptly releases potent cytokines such as IL-4 and IFN-gamma upon stimulation. To gain insight into the function of CD1.1, a panel of nine mAbs was generated and used to biochemically characterize and monitor the surface expression of CD1.1 on different cell types. CD1.1 is a heavily glycosylated, beta2-microglobulin-associated surface protein. Its recognition by a panel of 12 V alpha14-positive and -negative CD1-specific alphabeta T cell hybridomas was blocked by two groups of mAbs that bound to adjacent clusters of epitopes, indicating that different alphabeta TCRs bind to the same region of CD1.1, presumably above the groove. Remarkably, CD1.1 was mainly expressed by dendritic cells, B cells, and macrophages, suggesting a function in Ag presentation to Th cells. Furthermore, the cell type that expressed the highest levels of CD1.1 was the splenic marginal zone B cell, a distinct subset of B cells that also expresses CD21 (the C3d receptor) and may be involved in natural responses to bacterial Ags. Altogether, the results support the idea that CD1.1 may function in recruiting a form of innate help from specialized cytokine producer alphabeta T cells to APCs, a role that might be important at the preadaptive phase of immune responses to some microbial pathogens.

Human Leukocyte Antigen-G Expression on Dendritic Cells Induced by Transforming Growth Factor-β1 and CD4+ T Cells Proliferation
Background: During antigen capture and processing, mature dendritic cells (DC) express large amounts of peptide-MHC complexes and accessory molecules on their surface. DC are antigen-presenting cells that have an important role in tolerance and autoimmunity. The transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β1) cytokine has a regulatory role on the immune and non-immune cells. The aim of this study is ...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical Evaluation of CD86 Expression in Ero-sive Oral Lichen Planus
Background and Aim: Lichen planus is an inflammatory autoimmune mucocutaneous disease. Stimulation of T cells and antigen-presenting cells (APCs), such as dendritic cells, mediates apoptosis of keratinocytes and basement membrane destruction. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of one of the immune cell markers (CD86) in erosive oral lichen planus. Materials and Methods: In...
متن کاملThe Murine Nonclassical Class I Major Histocompatibility Complex–like CD1.1 Molecule Protects Target Cells from Lymphokine-activated Killer Cell Cytolysis
Classical class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, as well as the nonclassical class I histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA)-E molecule, can negatively regulate natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity through engagement of NK inhibitory receptors. We show that expression of murine (m)CD1.1, a nonpolymorphic nonclassical MHC class I-like molecule encoded outside the MHC, prot...
