A novel MHC- dextramer assay to identify melanoma antigen-specific CD8+ T cells from solid tumor disaggregates and matched peripheral blood
Background Cytotoxic CD8 T lymphocytes (CTL) mediate target cell killing of tumor cells. New technological advances in multi-parameter flow cytometry have enabled the detection and enumeration of antigen-specific CD8 T cells (MHC-class I dextramer staining) in peripheral blood. A new dextramer based IVD test has been approved in Europe for the quantification of CMV specific CD8 T cells in perip...
متن کاملDifferent Expressions of Specific Transcription Factors of Th1 (T-bet) and Th2 cells (GATA-3) by Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells From Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disorder caused by self-reactive Th1 lymphocytes, while Th2 cells may confer protection. The Th1 and Th2 cell differentiation are regulated by specific transcription factors, especially T-bet and GATA-3, respectively. This investigation aimed to measure the T-bet and GATA-3 expression by Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) obtained...
متن کاملGAD65-specific CD4+ T-cells with high antigen avidity are prevalent in peripheral blood of patients with type 1 diabetes.
Negative selection of self-reactive T-cells during thymic development, along with activation-induced cell death in peripheral lymphocytes, is designed to limit the expansion and persistence of autoreactive T-cells. Autoreactive T-cells are nevertheless present, both in patients with type 1 diabetes and in at-risk subjects. By using MHC class II tetramers to probe the T-cell receptor (TcR) speci...
متن کاملIn vitro generation of antigen-specific hemolytic plaque-forming cells from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells
We have described a culture and assay system for the sensitization of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells with a T cell-dependent antigen, sheep erythrocytes, in the absence of nonspecific stimulatory agents and with the subsequent generation of macroscopic hemolytic plaques. We have shown that the antibody produced by the plaque-forming cells generated in this culture system is specific f...
متن کاملCMV-specific TCR-transgenic T cells for immunotherapy.
Reactivation of CMV can cause severe disease after allogeneic hemopoietic stem cell transplantation. Adoptive T cell therapy was successfully used for patients who had received transplants from CMV-positive donors. However, patients with transplants from CMV-negative donors are at highest risk, and an adoptive therapy is missing because CMV-specific T cells are not available from such donors. T...
