Polyclonal MHC Ib-restricted CD8+ T cells undergo homeostatic expansion in the absence of conventional MHC-restricted T cells.
Naive T cells have the capacity to expand in a lymphopenic environment in a process called homeostatic expansion, where they gain a memory-like phenotype. Homeostatic expansion is dependent on competition for a number of factors, including growth factors and interactions with their selecting self-MHC molecules. In contrast to conventional T cells, it is unclear whether class Ib-restricted CD8+ ...
متن کاملThymus dictates major histocompatibility complex (MHC) specificity and immune response gene phenotype of class II MHC-restricted T cells but not of class I MHC-restricted T cells
Athymic H-2b nude mice received grafts from C57BL/6 (Sendai virus and H-Y antigen cytotoxic T lymphocyte [CTL] responder type), bm1 (H-2Kb mutant, Sendai CTL nonresponder type), or bm12 (H-21-A mutant, H-Y CTL nonresponder type) neonates. In observations of the CTL response to H-Y, both recipients and thymus donors were female. All types of thymus engraftment resulted in mature H-2b splenic T l...
متن کاملTAP, a novel T cell-activating protein involved in the stimulation of MHC-restricted T lymphocytes
Five mAbs have been generated and used to characterize TAP (T cell activating protein) a novel, functional murine T cell membrane antigen. The TAP molecule is a 12-kD protein that is synthesized by T cells. By antibody crossblocking, it appears to be closely associated with a 16-kD protein on the T cell membrane also identified with a novel mAb. These molecules are clearly distinct from the maj...
متن کاملSelf-reactive memory-phenotype CD8 T cells exhibit both MHC-restricted and non-MHC-restricted cytotoxicity: a role for the T-cell receptor and natural killer cell receptors.
We have recently shown that interleukin-2 (IL-2)-activated CD8(+)CD44(hi) cells from normal mice express both adaptive and innate immune system receptors and specifically kill syngeneic tumor cells, particularly those that express NKG2D ligands. Here we show that CD8+ T cells from antigen-expressing H-Y T-cell receptor (TCR) transgenic mice also exhibit characteristics of both T cells and natur...
متن کاملPseudopeptide ligands for MHC II-restricted T cells.
The potential therapeutic use of peptides to activate or anergize specific T cells is seriously limited by their susceptibility to proteolytic degradation. Classically, peptides are stabilized by incorporation of non-natural modifications including main chain modifications. In the case of MHC II-restricted peptides, the peptide backbone actively participates to the interaction with the MHC mole...
