Binding of autologous erythrocytes to immature T-cells.

چکیده
A small percentage of normal mouse thymus and spleen lymphocytes form rosettes with autologous erythrocytes. The number of these autologous rosettes increases 15- to 20-fold after adult thymectomy and to a lesser degree with aging. Autologous rosette level is also abnormally high in nude (congenitally athymic) mice. The high level of autologous rosette-forming cells found after adult thymectomy is normalized by injecting ng amounts of purified circulating thymic factor. Autologous rosette-forming cells adhere to nylon, belong to the less dense spleen cells, are in majority steroid-resistant in the thymus. All these properties suggest that autologous rosette-forming cells might belong to immature T-cell (thymic-dependent cell) precursors.

Uptake of Autologous and Allogenic Tumor Cell Antigens by Dendritic Cells
Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen presenting cells (APCs), and there is considerable interest in their application as a cellular adjuvant for cancer immunotherapy. Previous studies indirectly demonstrated that DCs were able to take up tumor lysate (crude soluble tumor antigens) and also cross-present tumor associated antigens (TAA) which elicits anti-tumor immune respo...
متن کاملSeparation of concanavalin A-induced human suppressor and helper T cells by the autologous erythrocyte rosette technique.
Very few normal human peripheral blood T cells are capable of binding autologous erythrocytes to form rosettes, whereas in the T cell population activated by concanavalin A (Con A) the autorosette levels are markedly enhanced. Fractionation of the Con A-activated T cells with autologous erythrocytes into autorosetting and nonrosetting cells demonstrates that suppressor, but not helper, activity...
متن کاملSickling-induced binding of immunoglobulin to sickle erythrocytes.
Previously we demonstrated that sickle erythrocytes sedimenting at high densities after gradient centrifugation contain higher levels of surface immunoglobulin bound in vivo in comparison to low-density erythrocytes from the same patient. The present study examines the possibility that binding of autologous IgG to sickle erythrocytes may be associated with the sickling phenomenon. In the presen...
متن کاملFcγRIII (CD16) equips immature 6-sulfo LacNAc-expressing dendritic cells (slanDCs) with a unique capacity to handle IgG-complexed antigens.
Binding and uptake of immune complexes (ICs) via low-affinity Fcγ receptors (FcγRs) on dendritic cells (DCs) is well known as a booster of immune responses. It can be helpful when stimulating immunity against pathogenic microbes but may be harmful when antibodies form complexes with autologous antigens. To date, no human DC subtype specialized in handling ICs has been identified. By incubating ...
متن کاملAnti - Self Receptors on Thymocytes
There have been numerous reports in the past that substantial subpopulations of murine lymphocytes can form rosettes with both autologous and allogeneic erythrocytes (1-5). In the case of thymocytes, as high as 30% of the cells can rosette with autologous erythrocytes (2, 5). However, the nature of this interaction and its functional significance has remained a mystery. In recent years it has b...
