CD4 T cells specific for a latency-associated γ-herpesvirus epitope are polyfunctional and cytotoxic.
The oncogenic γ-herpesviruses EBV and Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus are ubiquitous human pathogens that establish lifelong latent infections maintained by intermittent viral reactivation and reinfection. Effector CD4 T cells are critical for control of viral latency and in immune therapies for virus-associated tumors. In this study, we exploited γHV68 infection of mice to enhance our un...
متن کاملCutting edge: activation of virus-specific CD4 T cells throughout γ-herpesvirus latency.
CD4 T cells are essential for immune control of γ-herpesvirus latency. We previously identified a murine MHC class II-restricted epitope in γ-herpesvirus-68 gp150 (gp150(67-83)I-A(b)) that elicits CD4 T cells that are maintained throughout long-term infection. However, it is unknown whether naive cells can be recruited into the antiviral CD4 T cell pool during latency. In this study, we generat...
متن کاملTreatment-dependent loss of polyfunctional CD8+ T-cell responses in HIV-infected kidney transplant recipients is associated with herpesvirus reactivation.
Antiretroviral-therapy has dramatically changed the course of HIV infection and HIV-infected (HIV(+)) individuals are becoming more frequently eligible for solid-organ transplantation. However, only scarce data are available on how immunosuppressive (IS) strategies relate to transplantation outcome and immune function. We determined the impact of transplantation and immune-depleting treatment o...
متن کاملMurine gammaherpesvirus M2 gene is latency-associated and its protein a target for CD8(+) T lymphocytes.
Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV-68) infection of mice is a potential model with which to address fundamental aspects of the pathobiology and host control of gammaherpesvirus latency. Control of MHV-68 infection, like that of Epstein-Barr virus, is strongly dependent on the cellular immune system. However, the molecular biology of MHV-68 latency is largely undefined. A screen of the MHV-68 genom...
متن کاملErratum for Verma et al., "Cytomegalovirus-Specific CD4 T Cells Are Cytolytic and Mediate Vaccine Protection".
UNLABELLED CD4 T cells provide protection against cytomegalovirus (CMV) and other persistent viruses, and the ability to quantify and characterize epitope-specific responses is essential to gain a more precise understanding of their effector roles in this regard. Here, we report the first two I-A(d)-restricted CD4 T cell responses specific for mouse CMV (MCMV) epitopes and use a major histocomp...
