Live-cell imaging reveals the relative contributions of antigen-presenting cell subsets to thymic central tolerance

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Both medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTEC) and dendritic cells (DC) present tissue-restricted antigens (TRA) to thymocytes to induce central tolerance, but the relative contributions of these antigen-presenting cell (APC) subsets remain unresolved ...

Antigen-specific T cell activation independently of the MHC: chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-redirected T cells.

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2013
Adoptive T cell therapy has recently shown powerful in initiating a lasting anti-tumor response with spectacular therapeutic success in some cases. Specific T cell therapy, however, is limited since a number of cancer cells are not recognized by T cells ...

Granulocytes: New Members of the Antigen-Presenting Cell Family

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
Granulocytes, the most abundant types of leukocytes, are the first line of defense against pathogen invasion. However, the plasticity and diversity of granulocytes have been increasingly revealed, especially with regard to their versatile functions in ...

Treg-expressed CTLA-4 depletes CD80/CD86 by trogocytosis, releasing free PD-L1 on antigen-presenting cells

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Immunosuppressive Tregs constitutively express CTLA-4, an immune checkpoint receptor. Addressing the role of CTLA-4 in Treg-suppressive function, we show that Treg-expressed CTLA-4, even in the absence of its cytoplasmic portion, promoted ...

The ABCs of Antigen Presentation by Stromal Non-Professional Antigen-Presenting Cells [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs), such as dendritic cells and macrophages, are known for their ability to present exogenous antigens to T cells. However, many other cell types, including endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and lymph node stromal cells, are also capable of presenting exogenous antigens to either CD8+ or CD4+ T cells via cross ...

Enhancement of the antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte-inducing ability in the PMDC11 leukemic plasmacytoid dendritic cell line via lentiviral vector-mediated transduction of the caTLR4 gene. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The aim of the present study was to enhance the efficiency of leukemia immunotherapy by increasing the antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte-inducing ability of leukemia cells. The leukemic plasmacytoid dendritic cell line PMDC05 containing the HLA-A02/

Antigen presentation by Langerhans cells [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Immunology, 2013
Langerhans cells and other skin-resident dendritic cells (DC) are required for the development of cutaneous adaptive immune responses. In vivo experiments using mice with selective DC-subset deficiencies and ex vivo experiments using isolated DC suggests that each subset makes a unique contribution to the adaptive response.

Targeting antigens to dendritic cell receptors for vaccine development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Dendritic cells (DCs) are highly specialized antigen presenting cells of the immune system which play a key role in regulating immune responses. Depending on the method of antigen delivery, DCs stimulate immune responses or induce tolerance.

The effect of artificial antigen-presenting cells with preclustered anti-CD28/-CD3/-LFA-1 monoclonal antibodies on the induction of ex vivo expansion of functional human antitumor T cells

open access: yesHaematologica, 2008
Background Adoptive cell therapy with ex vivo expanded autologous antitumor cytotoxic T lymphocytes represents an important therapeutic option as an anticancer strategy.

IL-10 acts on the antigen-presenting cell to inhibit cytokine production by Th1 cells.

open access: yesJournal of Immunology, 1991
Murine IL-10 (cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor) inhibits cytokine production by Th1 cell clones when they are activated under conditions requiring the presence of APC. By preincubating APC with IL-10, we demonstrate that IL-10 acts principally on APC
