Evaluation of Specific Purified TCR Effect on the Immunoregulatory Potential of TGF-beta
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-b) is a mediator released by nearly all cell types. It has suppression activity on the immune system, but exactly how this effect is carried out is not clear. Previous experiments showed that IgG interacts with or carriers active TGF-b, that could suppresses cytotoxic T-cell responses to an immunogenic tumor in mice. Since T cell receptor (TCR) has structura...
متن کاملDetection of Pre-Malifnant B-1 Cells in NZB Mice with a Re-stricted CDR3/DFL16 Region
The relationship between the immunoglobulin (Ig) nucleotide sequence and the ability of a B cell to develop into a malignant cell was studied in a subset of B cells, B-1 cells. B-1 cells become malignant in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and are responsible for the production of "natural autoantibodies". The autoimmune NZB mouse has been known as a human malignancy and CLL model, because ...
متن کاملT cell receptor repertoire in BALB/c mice varies according to tissue type, sex, age, and hydrocortisone treatment.
Diversity in T cell recognition of antigens is determined by diverse usage of T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire. TCR repertoire analysis provides fundamental information for understanding T cell immune responses in the pathogenesis of various diseases. In the present study, we examined the TCR repertoire in various tissues in normal BALB/c mice. The TCR alpha chain variable region repertoires we...
متن کاملEnterocyte Expression of Interleukin 7 Induces Development of γδ T Cells and Peyer's Patches
The intestinal mucosa is suggested to support extrathymic T cell development, particularly for T cell receptor (TCR)-gammadelta intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs). TCR-gammadelta cell development requires interleukin (IL)-7; IL-7(-/)- or IL-7 receptor(-/)- mice lack TCR-gammadelta cells. Using the intestinal fatty acid binding protein (iFABP) promoter, we reinstated expression of IL-7 to mature...
متن کاملThe V beta 17+ T cell repertoire: skewed J beta usage after thymic selection; dissimilar CDR3s in CD4+ versus CD8+ cells
To ascertain how the actual repertoire of T cell receptors (TCRs) deviates from the theoretical, we have generated a large number of junctional region sequences from TCRs carrying the V beta 17 variable region. The greater than 600 sequences analyzed represent transcripts from nine different cell populations, permitting several comparisons: transcripts from an expressed vs. a non-expressed V be...
