Costimulation of CD8alphabeta T cells by NKG2D via engagement by MIC induced on virus-infected cells.

TL;DR: Infection by cytomegalovirus resulted in substantial increases in MIC on cultured fibroblast and endothelial cells and was associated with induced MIC expression in interstitial pneumonia, and NKG2D functioned as a costimulatory receptor that can substitute for CD28.
Journal ArticleDOI

Restoration of CD28 expression in CD28- CD8+ memory effector T cells reconstitutes antigen-induced IL-2 production.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the loss of CD28 expression during differentiation of memory/effector CD8+ T cells represents a decisive step in establishing regulation of responding CD8- T cells, increasing the dependence on CD4+ Th for proliferation after target recognition, and has implications for the treatment of viral disease with adoptively transferred CD8 + T cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen by CD8+ T cells specific for a skin-tropic virus

TL;DR: This is the first report of expression of tissue-specific adhesion-associated molecules by virus-specific CD8(+) T cells, consistent with a role for CLA in skin homing in HSV-2-infected skin.
Book ChapterDOI

Application of T cell immunotherapy for human viral and malignant diseases.

TL;DR: The early results of clinical studies of T cell therapy for viral diseases have been encouraging and this approach is now being developed for the treatment of patients with leukemia that recurs after allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT) and patients with solid tumors.
