Self-reactive human CD4 T cell clones form unusual immunological synapses
Recognition of self-peptide-MHC (pMHC) complexes by CD4 T cells plays an important role in the pathogenesis of many autoimmune diseases. We analyzed formation of immunological synapses (IS) in self-reactive T cell clones from patients with multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes. All self-reactive T cells contained a large number of phosphorylated T cell receptor (TCR) microclusters, indicative ...
متن کاملT cell-dendritic cell immunological synapses.
Dendritic cells (DCs) are myeloid lineage cells that are imprinted by their environment and that mature in response to microbial products. A crucial role of the DC is to impart this context-specific information to T cells as well as to present self and foreign MHC-peptide complexes through formation of an immunological synapse. The structure of the T cell-DC immunological synapse departs from t...
متن کاملCD4+ beta islet cell-reactive T cell clones that suppress autoimmune diabetes in nonobese diabetic mice
We report the isolation of a panel of CD4+ T helper type 1 autoreactive T cell clones from the spleen of unprimed nonobese diabetic mice, a murine model of human insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The T cell clones express a diverse repertoire of T cell receptors, three of which recognize beta islet cell autoantigen(s). The islet cell-reactive T cell clones inhibit adoptive transfer of insuli...
متن کاملCTLA-4 dysregulation of self/tumor-reactive CD8+ T-cell function is CD4+ T-cell dependent.
Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) maintains peripheral tolerance by suppressing T-cell activation and proliferation but its precise role in vivo remains unclear. We sought to elucidate the impact of CTLA-4 expression on self/tumor-reactive CD8(+) T cells by using the glycoprotein (gp) 100-specific T-cell receptor (TCR) transgenic mouse, pmel-1. pmel-1 CLTA-4(-/-) mice develop...
متن کاملAnergic CD4+ T cells form mature immunological synapses with enhanced accumulation of c-Cbl and Cbl-b.
CD4(+) T cell recognition of MHC:peptide complexes in the context of a costimulatory signal results in the large-scale redistribution of molecules at the T cell-APC interface to form the immunological synapse. The immunological synapse is the location of sustained TCR signaling and delivery of a subset of effector functions. T cells activated in the absence of costimulation are rendered anergic...
