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: The striking temporal relationship between the endogenous expansion of a TCR Vbeta-restricted, CD3+CD8+ population of MHC class I-restricted CTL, and the regression of an autologous monoclonal PTLD, provides direct evidence in humans that endogenous CD3 + CD8+ CTLs can be responsible for effective immune surveillance against malignant transformation of EBV+ B cells.

TL;DR: A critical role is demonstrated for this cytokine as regulatory, rather than merely pathogenic cytokine, involved in the establishment of chronic latent infection, in the clinical cure after treatment and in keeping antibacillary effector mechanisms active to prevent immune-mediated damage.

A Modified Tyrosinase-Related Protein 2 Epitope Generates High-Affinity Tumor-Specific T Cells but Does Not Mediate Therapeutic Efficacy in an Intradermal Tumor Model
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, although CD8+ T cells specific for the self/tumor Ag tyrosinase-related protein 2 (TRP2) are readily detected in tumor-bearing hosts, vaccination of either tumor- bearing or naive mice with an epitope derived from TRP2 fails to generate significant numbers of tetramer-staining TRP 2-specific T cells or antitumor immunity.

TL;DR: Significant advances have recently been made in the identification and functional characterization of both murine and human esophageal stem cells and their progeny in recent years, placing investigators in an exciting position to gain further insights into the processes of tissue renewal and repair on the one hand and the development of dysplasia and malignancy on the other.

Hydrogen Sulfide as a Potential Therapeutic Target in Fibrosis.
TL;DR: The protective role of H2S in the development of fibrosis is primarily attributed to its antioxidation, antiapoptosis, anti-inflammation, proangiogenesis, and inhibition of fibroblasts activities.

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.
