Characterization of the Antigen-Specific CD4+ T Cell Response Induced by Prime-Boost Strategies with CAF01 and CpG Adjuvants Administered by the Intranasal and Subcutaneous Routes
The design of heterologous prime-boost vaccine combinations that optimally shape the immune response is of critical importance for the development of next generation vaccines. Here, we tested different prime-boost combinations using the tuberculosis vaccine antigen H56 with CAF01 or CpG ODN 1826 adjuvants, administered by the parenteral and nasal routes. Using peptide-MHC class II tetramers, an...
متن کاملMHC class II tetramers.
MHC class II tetramers have emerged as an important tool for characterization of the specificity and phenotype of CD4 T cell immune responses, useful in a large variety of disease and vaccine studies. Issues of specific T cell frequency, biodistribution, and avidity, coupled with the large genetic diversity of potential class II restriction elements, require targeted experimental design. Transl...
متن کاملVisualizing Antigen Specific CD4+ T Cells using MHC Class II Tetramers
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II tetramers allow the direct visualization of antigen specific CD4+ T cells by flow cytometry. This method relies on the highly specific interaction between peptide loaded MHC and the corresponding T-cell receptor. While the affinity of a single MHC/peptide molecule is low, cross-linking MHC/peptide complexes with streptavidin increases the avidity ...
متن کاملMHC Class II tetramers and the pursuit of antigen-specific T cells: define, deviate, delete.
Selective expansion and activation of a very small number of antigen-specific CD4(+) T cells is a remarkable and essential property of the adaptive immune response. Antigen-specific T cells were until recently identified only indirectly by functional assays, such as antigen-induced cytokine secretion and proliferation. The advent of MHC Class II tetramers has added a pivotal tool to our researc...
متن کاملMHC class II tetramers identify peptide-specific human CD4(+) T cells proliferating in response to influenza A antigen.
Antigen-specific T helper cells present in peripheral blood at very low frequencies are capable of rapid clonal expansion during antigenic challenge. The exquisite specificity of this response provides for activation and expansion of a very select cohort of T cells, a feature we have used to directly identify and quantify human epitope-specific T helper cells from peripheral blood. Soluble tetr...
