Predominant utilization of V beta 8+ T cell receptor genes in the H-2Ld- restricted cytotoxic T cell response against the immediate-early protein pp89 of the murine cytomegalovirus [PDF]

, 1989
Cytotoxic T cell responses to the murine Cytomegalovirus (MCMV) were elicited in BALB/c mice (H-2d) by infectious virus. Eight days after infection, MCMV-primed local lymph node T cells were either depleted for T cells expressing a V beta 8+ TCR or ...

Thymic function and T cell parameters in a natural human experimental model of seasonal infectious diseases and nutritional burden [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND:The study exploits a natural human experimental model of subsistence farmers experiencing chronic and seasonally modified food shortages and infectious burden.

Detection of Enriched T Cell Epitope Specificity in Full T Cell Receptor Sequence Repertoires

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
High-throughput T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing allows the characterization of an individual's TCR repertoire and directly queries their immune state. However, it remains a non-trivial task to couple these sequenced TCRs to their antigenic targets.

Characterization of human cytomegalovirus peptide-specific CD8⁺ T-cell repertoire diversity following in vitro restimulation by antigen-pulsed dendritic cells

, 2002
Under conditions of impaired T-cell immunity, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) can reactivate from lifelong latency, resulting in potentially fatal disease.

Role of regulatory T cells in immune tolerance [PDF]

, 2009
In this present work, we investigated the role of dendritic cells (DC) and regulatory T cells (Treg) in immune tolerance as well as their potential in the treatment of autoimmune or graft versus host (GvH) diseases.

Calcium-sensing receptor activation increases cell-cell adhesion and ß-cell function [PDF]

Background/Aims: The extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) is expressed in pancreatic β-cells where it is thought to facilitate cell-to-cell communication and augment insulin secretion.

Neurohypophysial Receptor Gene Expression by Thymic T Cell Subsets and Thymic T Cell Lymphoma Cell Lines

Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2004
Neurohypophysial oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (VP) genes are transcribed in thymic epithelium, while immature T lymphocytes express functional neurohypophysial receptors.

Metabolic regulation of regulatory T cell development and function

, 2014
It is now well established that the effector T cell (Teff) response is regulated by a series of metabolic switches. Quiescent T cells predominantly require ATP-generating processes, whereas proliferating Teff require high metabolic flux through growth ...

Investigating the roles of the alternative Isoforms of the preTCR alpha (pTα) chain in T cell development

, 2010
PhDThe pre-T cell receptor (preTCR) is required for αβ T cell development and hence efficient adaptive immunity. Composed of a rearranged TCRβ chain paired with the invariant preTCR α chain (pTα), it drives immature thymocytes through the “β-selection ...
