Lymphocyte activation gene-3 (CD223) regulates the size of the expanding T cell population following antigen activation in vivo.
Lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3) is a CD4-related, activation-induced cell surface molecule that binds to MHC class II with high affinity. In this study, we used four experimental systems to reevaluate previous suggestions that LAG-3(-/-) mice had no T cell defect. First, LAG-3(-/-) T cells exhibited a delay in cell cycle arrest following in vivo stimulation with the superantigen staphyloco...
متن کاملP-212: Association between Polymorphisms of CTLA-4 Gene and Unexplained Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion in An Iranian Population
Background: Unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) has been suggested being associated with the failure of fetal-maternal immunologic tolerance in which the regulatory T lymphocytes (Tregs) play a crucial role. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is expressed transiently on activated T cells and constitutively on Tregs. CTLA-4 interacts with the B7 cell surface molec...
متن کاملB and T Lymphocyte Attenuator is a Target of miR-155 during Naive CD4+ T Cell Activation
Background: MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) is upregulated during T cell activation, but the exact mechanisms by which it influences CD4+ T cell activation remain unclear. Objective: To examine whether the B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) is a target of miR-155 during naïve CD4+ T cell activation. Methods: Firefly luciferase reporter plasmids pEZX-MT01-wild-type-BTLA and pEZX-MT01-mutant-BTLA were ...
متن کاملNegative regulation of T cell homeostasis by lymphocyte activation gene-3 (CD223).
Lymphocyte homeostasis is a central biological process that is tightly regulated. However, its molecular and cellular control is poorly understood. We show that aged mice deficient in lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG-3), an MHC class II binding CD4 homologue, have twice as many T cells as wild-type controls. CD4(+) and CD8(+) LAG-3-deficient T cells showed enhanced homeostatic expansion in lym...
متن کاملDendritic Cell Immunotherapy, the Next Step in Cancer Treatment
Cancer immunotherapy has gained a lot of interest over the past few years due to the success of immune checkpoint inhibitors in treating cancer (1, 2). Immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as monoclonal antibodies against cytotoxic T-lymphocyte–associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed death 1 (PD-1), have been shown to increase survival of patients with advanced cancers (1, 2). These in...
