Maximizing the retention of antigen specific lymphocyte function after cryopreservation.
The ability to cryopreserve lymphocytes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to retain their function after thawing is critical to the analysis of cancer immunotherapy studies. We evaluated a variety of cryopreservation strategies with the aim of developing an optimized protocol for freezing and thawing PBMC to retain viability and function. We determined several factors which do not af...
متن کاملCord blood comprises antigen-experienced T cells specific for maternal minor histocompatibility antigen HA-1.
Umbilical cord blood transplantation is applied as treatment for mainly pediatric patients with hematologic malignancies. The clinical results show a relatively low incidence of graft-versus-host disease and leukemia relapse. Since maternal cells traffic into the fetus during pregnancy, we questioned whether cord blood has the potential to generate cytotoxic T cells specific for the hematopoiet...
متن کاملAntigen-specific T lymphocyte clones. I. Characterization of a T lymphocyte clone expressing antigen-specific suppressive activity
We have generated continuously propagatable T lymphocyte clones to study antigen-specific T cell functions. All Ly-2+ clones mediate suppressive activity and secrete a characteristic pattern of polypeptides that differs from Ly-2- T cell clones. Cells of one clone, Cl.Ly23/4, specifically bind glycophorin from sheep erythrocytes (SRBC). After incubation with [35S]methionine, supernate material ...
متن کاملAntigen-Specific T Helper Cell Function
Distinguishing between the development of functional potential in antigen-specific T helper (Th) cells and the delivery of these specialized functions in vivo has been difficult to resolve. Here, we quantify the frequency of cytokine-producing cells within the primary and memory B10.BR Th cell response to pigeon cytochrome c (PCC). In vitro analysis of acquired functional potential indicated no...
متن کاملSpecific interaction of lymphocyte function-associated antigen 3 with CD2 can inhibit T cell responses
Accessory cell surface molecules, such as T cell antigen CD2 and its ligand lymphocyte function-associated antigen 3 (LFA-3; CD58), are critical costimulatory pathways for optimal T cell activation in response to antigens. Interaction of CD2 with cell surface LFA-3 not only increases T cell/accessory cell adhesion, but also induces signal transduction events involved in the regulation of T cell...
