c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is a mitogen-activated protein kinase that plays important regulatory roles in helper T cell differentiation. In the current study, we used Jnk1-deficient mice to examine the function of JNK during an in vivo pathogenic infection, leishmaniasis, which is strongly influenced by Th1/Th2 effector mechanisms. The data show that Jnk1-deficient mice, despite their usuall...
Two types of T helper (Th) cells have been defined on the basis of their cytokine secretion patterns. The decision of a naive T cell to differentiate into Th1 or Th2 is crucial, since to a first approximation it determines whether a cell-mediated or humoral immune response is triggered against a particular pathogen, which profoundly influences disease outcome. Here we show that the internal beh...
Tat is an early regulatory protein that plays a major role in human HIV-1 replication and AIDS pathogenesis, and therefore, it represents a key target for the host immune response. In natural infection, however, Abs against Tat are produced only by a small fraction (approximately 20%) of asymptomatic individuals and are rarely seen in progressors, suggesting that Tat may possess properties dive...
Protective Th1 responses to Salmonella enterica do not develop in the absence of B cells. Using chimeric mice, we dissect the early (innate) and late (cognate) contributions of B cells to Th programming. B cell-intrinsic MyD88 signaling is required for primary effector Th1 development, whereas Ag-specific BCR-mediated Ag presentation is necessary for the development of memory Th1 populations. P...
Infection and systemic inflammation are risk factors for cerebrovascular diseases and poststroke infections impair outcome in stroke patients, although the mechanisms of their contribution are mostly unknown. No preclinical studies have identified how chronic infection affects ischemic brain damage and which key inflammatory mediators are involved. We used a well established model of gut infect...
Leishmania specific Th1/Th2 cells have been identified in humans as well as in mice. There is a correlation between the clinical outcome of the infection and the cytokine response profile. Generally, the production of Th2 cytokines leads to severe infection, whereas the production of Th1 cytokines leads to subclinical or mild infections. In mice, an infection leads to a polarisation of either T...
Infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) induces pulmonary immunopathology mediated by classical Th1 type of acquired immunity with hepatic involvement in up to 80% of disseminated cases. Since PPAR agonists cause immune responses characterized by a decrease in the secretion of Th1 cytokines, we investigated the impact of activating these receptors on hepatic pathology associated with a w...
The type of immune response is critical for successful protection and typically determined by pathogen-associated danger molecules. In contrast, protein antigens are usually regarded as passive target structures. Here, we provide evidence that the structure of the antigen can profoundly influence the type of response that is elicited under else identical conditions. In mice, gene gun vaccines i...
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is mediated by Th1 and Th17 cells. Invariant NKT (iNKT) cells prevent EAE in an IL-4-, IL-10-, and IFN-γ-dependent manner. However, which of the iNKT cell-produced cytokines regulates the Th1 or Th17 response in EAE remains unclear. Wild-type B6 and Jα18(-/-) mice were immunized with MOG(35-55) peptide to address this issue. Clinical scores for EA...
Murine Th1 and Th2 subsets differ not only in the lymphokines they produce, but also functionally. It is not clear what factors influence the preferential activation of one subset versus the other and what regulatory interactions exist between them. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of lymphokines produced by clones of Th1 cells (IL-2 and IFN-gamma), Th2 cells (IL-4), and APC ...
