Site-restricted persistent cytomegalovirus infection after selective long-term depletion of CD4+ T lymphocytes.
TLDR
The CD8+ effector cells raised in the CD4 subset- deficient host were able of clear vital tissues from productive infection and to restrict asymptomatic, persistent infection to acinar glandular epithelial cells in salivary gland tissue.Abstract:
We have established a murine model system for exploring the ability of a CD4 subset-deficient host to cope with cytomegalovirus infection, and reported three findings. First, an antiviral response of the CD8 subset of T lymphocytes could be not only initiated but also maintained for a long period of time despite a continued absence of the CD4 subset, whereas the production of antiviral antibody proved strictly dependent upon help provided by the CD4 subset. Second, no function in the defense against infection could be ascribed as yet to CD4-CD8- T lymphocytes, which were seen to accumulate to a new subset as a result of depletion of the CD4 subset. This newly arising subset did not substitute for CD4+ T lymphocytes in providing help to B lymphocytes, and was also not effective in controlling the spread of virus in host tissues. As long as a function of these cells in the generation and maintenance of a CD8 subset-mediated response is not disproved, caution is indicated with concern to an autonomy of the CD8 subset. Third, even though with delay, the CD8+ effector cells raised in the CD4 subset-deficient host were able of clear vital tissues from productive infection and to restrict asymptomatic, persistent infection to acinar glandular epithelial cells in salivary gland tissue.read more

Intracellular survival of protozoan parasites with special reference to Leishmania spp., Toxoplasma gondii and Trypanosoma cruzi.
TL;DR: This chapter presents the investigations conducted on parasites of the genus Leishmania, as well as on Toxoplasma gondii and Trypanosoma cruzi, to uncover some of the tricks evolved by these parasites for circumventing host defences and capturing nutriments required for homeostasis and growth.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that nonhemopoietic cells such as vascular endothelium induce proliferation of CD8+ T lymphocytes in a B7-dependent fashion in vivo and may, therefore, play an important role in regulating immune processes of allograft rejection.

CD1d-specific NK1.1+ T cells with a transgenic variant TCR.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a CD1d-reactive TCR of the “non-Vα 14” diverse type can, in a ligand-dependent way, direct development of NK1.1+ T cells expressing expected functional and cell-surface phenotype characteristics.

TL;DR: The properties of mAb GK1.5 (complement fixation, reactivity with all mouse strains tested, profound blocking of all class II MHC antigen-specific functions by murine T cells, usefulness for FACS analyses, and usefulness for immuno-precipitation/SDS-PAGE analyses) make it suitable for investigating both the role ofclass II M HC antigen-reactive T cells in various immunological phenomena and the mechanistic basis, at the molecular level

TL;DR: Virus production was associated with impaired proliferation, modulation of T3-T4 cell markers, and the appearance of cytopathic effects, providing evidence for the involvement of LAV in AIDS.

TL;DR: Cloned blood lymphocytes that do not express the α- and β-chains of the T-cell receptor show MHC-unrestricted cytotoxicity and these cells carry the γ-protein, disulphide-linked either to another molecule or to itself, and associated with the CD3 complex.
