متن کاملXenograft tolerance and immune function of human T cells developing in pig thymus xenografts.
Transplantation of xenogeneic thymus tissue allows xenograft tolerance induction in the highly disparate pig-to-mouse model. Fetal swine thymus (SW THY) can support the generation of a diverse human T cell repertoire that is tolerant of the pig in vitro. We demonstrate that SW THY generates all human T cell subsets, including regulatory T cells (Tregs), in similar numbers as fetal human thymus ...
متن کاملModulation of Thymic Selection by Expression of an Immediate-early Gene, Early Growth Response 1 (Egr-1)
The potential involvement of early growth response (Egr)-1, a zinc-finger transcription factor belonging to the immediate-early genes, in positive/negative selection of thymocytes has been implicated by its expression in the population of CD4(+)CD8(+) double positive (DP) cells undergoing selection. To further investigate this possibility, transgenic mice overexpressing Egr-1 in thymocytes were...
متن کاملPositive selection of mouse NK1+ T cells by CD1-expressing cortical thymocytes
Mouse NK1+ T cells constitute a subset of alpha/beta TCR+ T cells that specialize in the rapid production of cytokines, in particular IL-4, and may promote the differentiation of Th2-type CD4 T cells. Their TCRs, like those of a homologous subset of human T cells, use an invariant TCR alpha chain and were recently shown to be specific for the beta 2-microglobulin-associated, MHC class I-like CD...
متن کاملPositive selection optimizes the number and function of MHCII-restricted CD4+ T cell clones in the naive polyclonal repertoire.
T cell receptors (TCRs) on T lymphocytes in an individual bind foreign peptides bound to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules expressed in that individual (designated MHC(A)). Results from radiation bone marrow chimeras and TCR transgenic mice indicate that this complex form of antigen recognition is the result of positive selection of clones with low affinity for self peptide:MHC(A...
