Quantitation of antigen-specific CD8+ T-cell responses

open access: yesImmunology Letters, 1999
Enumeration of antigen-specific CD8+ T-cells has traditionally been largely dependent on the use of techniques that require a period of expansion in vitro. However the recent emergence of methods that can be used directly ex vivo to quantify antigen-specific CD8+ T cells has prompted a re-evaluation of the magnitude of viral-specific cellular immune ...

Cutting Edge: Antigen-Independent CD8 T Cell Proliferation [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Immunology, 2001
Abstract Recent analyses of CD8 T cell responses to Listeria monocytogenes infection demonstrate that the duration of in vivo T cell proliferation is not determined by the amount or duration of Ag presentation. However, the extent to which T lymphocytes are capable of proliferating in the absence of Ag is unknown.

An Unexpected Major Role for Proteasome-Catalyzed Peptide Splicing in Generation of T Cell Epitopes: Is There Relevance for Vaccine Development?

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2017
Efficient and safe induction of CD8+ T cell responses is a desired characteristic of vaccines against intracellular pathogens. To achieve this, a new generation of safe vaccines is being developed accommodating single, dominant antigens of pathogens of ...

Non-hematopoietic cells in lymph nodes drive memory CD8 T cell inflation during murine cytomegalovirus infection. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
During human and murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection an exceptionally large virus-specific CD8 T cell pool is maintained in the periphery lifelong.

Activation of CD8 T Cells by Antigen Expressed in the Pituitary Gland [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Immunology, 2002
Abstract Ag expressed exclusively in the anterior pituitary gland and secreted locally by pituitary somatotrophs can gain access to the MHC class I presentation pathway and activate CD8 T cells. Influenza nucleoprotein (NP) was expressed as a transgene under the control of the human growth hormone (GH) locus control region. Activation of

Hepatocellular carcinoma escapes immune surveillance through deceiving thymus into recalling peripheral activated CD8+ T cells

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research
The role of thymic epithelial cells (TECs) in eliminating self-reactive T cells through the presentation of self-antigens is well-established. However, it remains unclear whether TECs can eliminate tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells by presenting tumor antigens.

Persistent Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Infection of Enteric Neurons Triggers CD8+ T Cell Response and Gastrointestinal Neuromuscular Dysfunction

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Behind the central nervous system, neurotropic viruses can reach and persist even in the enteric nervous system (ENS), the neuronal network embedded in the gut wall.

Antigen and Memory CD8 T Cells: Were They Both Right? [PDF]

open access: yesAllergy, Asthma, and Clinical Immunology, 2007
Abstract Picture yourself as a researcher in immunology. To begin your project, you ask a question: Do CD8 T cells require antigen to maintain a memory response? This question is of prime importance to numerous medical fields. In chronologic order, you digest the literature, but unfortunately, you hit a major stumbling block in the 1990s. The

Characterisation of CD8neg and CD8+ human natural killer cell subsets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
NK cells are CD3neg CD56+ lymphocytes that constitute about 10-15% of peripheral blood lymphocytes. They have an innate ability to recognise and kill virus infected cells and tumour cells.

Induction of antigen specific intrahepatic CD8+ T cell responses by a secreted heat shock protein based gp96-Ig-PfCA malaria vaccine

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionA highly efficacious and durable vaccine against malaria is an essential tool for global malaria eradication. One of the promising strategies to develop such a vaccine is to induce robust CD8+ T cell mediated immunity against malaria liver ...
