Do thymically and strictly extrathymically developing T cells generate similar immune responses?
If present in sufficient numbers, could extrathymic T cells substitute for thymus-derived T cells? To address this issue, we studied extrathymic T cells that develop in athymic mice under the influence of oncostatin M (OM). In this model, extensive T-cell development is probably due to amplification of a minor pathway of T-cell differentiation taking place only in the lymph nodes. Extrathymic C...
متن کاملKinetics of Primary and Memory Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Responses to Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Infection: Granzyme B Mediated CTL Activity
Background: Herpes simplex virus type 1 is one of the most common viruses among human population. Studies demonstrate the essential role of cell mediated immunity, especially CD8+ T cells, in prevention and clearance of HSV1. Objective: It is of great importance to improve our knowledge about the kinetics of CTL responses to primary and secondary HSV-1 infection. Methods: Using a sensitive tech...
متن کاملExpansion of extrathymic T cells as well as granulocytes in the liver and other organs of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor transgenic mice: why they lost the ability of hybrid resistance.
When we attempted to characterize the immunological state in G-CSF transgenic mice, a large number of not only granulocytes but also lymphoid cells expanded in various immune organs. Such lymphoid cells were present at unusual sites of these organs, e.g., the parenchymal space in the liver. We then determined the phenotype of these lymphoid cells by immunofluorescence tests. It was demonstrated...
متن کاملEssential role of extrathymic T cells in protection against malaria.
Athymic nude mice carry neither conventional T cells nor NKT cells of thymic origin. However, NK1.1(-)TCR(int) cells are present in the liver and other immune organs of athymic mice, because these lymphocyte subsets are truly of extrathymic origin. In this study, we examined whether extrathymic T cells had the capability to protect mice from malarial infection. Although B6-nu/nu mice were more ...
متن کاملThe relationship between Human Papillomavirus and Epstein-Barr virus infections with breast cancer of Iranian patients
Background: Breast cancer is the malignancy in humans and other mammals. Several risk factors are involved in their appearance such as higher hormone levels and obesity. Identification of a mouse mammary tumor virus supports a viral etiology for breast tumors in animals. Viruses have been implicated in the development of various cancers, but viral induction for formation breast cancer is contro...
