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

TL;DR: A systematic analysis of iNKT cell number and function in Idd congenic mice revealed that neither iN KT cell number nor their inability to rapidly secrete IL-4 in response to acute in vivo activation by Ag underlies the mechanism of protection from diabetes in I dd congenic dogs.

TL;DR: In the retina, cells undergoing apoptosis were not virus-infected, a finding that suggests that apoptosis of uninfected retinal cells may play a role in the pathogenesis of MCMV retinitis.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that CD4+Foxp3+ naturally occurring Tregs (nTregs) as well as CD4 + Foxp3−IL‐10+‐induced T Regs (iTregS) interfere with an effective anti‐mouse CMV (mCMV) immune response.

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: 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.
