Incomplete Cd8+ T Lymphocyte Differentiation as a Mechanism for Subdominant Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Responses to a Viral Antigen [PDF]
CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) recognize antigen in the context of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. Class I epitopes have been classified as dominant or subdominant depending on the magnitude of the CTL response to the epitope.

Measles Vaccines Designed for Enhanced CD8+ T Cell Activation
Priming and activation of CD8+ T cell responses is crucial to achieve anti-viral and anti-tumor immunity. Live attenuated measles vaccine strains have been used successfully for immunization for decades and are currently investigated in trials of ...

The role of Microenvironment in tumorigenesis. Focus on dendritic cells in human papillomavirus E6, E7-transformed keratinocytes [PDF]
The inception of tumor microenvironment (TME), a complex and dynamic system constituted by different types of cells engaged by tumor and extracellular matrix surrounding cancer cells, is a way for them to elude the immune surveillance.

Immunological markers of arthroplasty failure
Periprosthetic joint infection still remains a clinical challenge since accurate definition of this condition and reliable laboratory markers have not been established yet.

Human lymphoma mutations reveal CARD11 as the switch between self-antigen-induced B cell death or proliferation and autoantibody production [PDF]
Self-tolerance and immunity are actively acquired in parallel through a poorly understood ability of antigen receptors to switch between signaling death or proliferation of antigenbinding lymphocytes in different contexts.

The use of genomewide ENU mutagenesis screens to unravel complex mammalian traits: Identifying genes that regulate organ-specific and systemic autoimmunity [PDF]
T-cell development is perhaps one of the best understood processes of mammalian cell differentiation, as many of the genes and pathways have been identified.

Background Salmonella enterica infections often exhibit a form of immune evasion. We previously observed that probiotic bacteria could prevent inhibition of lymphoproliferation and apoptosis responses of T cells associated with S.

Regulation of autoimmunity and donor cell engraftment by recipient Lyt-2+ cells during the graft-versus-host reaction. [PDF]
When lymphocytes from DBA/2 mice are transferred to (C57BL X DBA/2)F1 (BDF1) mice, the ensuing graft-vs.-host reaction (GVHR) causes an autoimmune illness resembling human SLE.

Modulation of T-lymphocyte differentiation antigens: potential relevance for multiple sclerosis. [PDF]
Effects of the anti-T-cell monoclonal antibodies OKT3, OKT5, and OKT8 on T-cell surface properties and cell functions were evaluated. Incubation of mononuclear cells isolated from peripheral blood for 48 hr with each monoclonal antibody in the absence of complement resulted in modulation of their respective surface antigens; i.e., the number of cells ...

A reengineered common chain cytokine augments CD8+ T cell–dependent immunotherapy
Cytokine therapy is limited by undesirable off-target side effects as well as terminal differentiation and exhaustion of chronically stimulated T cells.
