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: This paper reviews the three of the main classes of PTMs already associated with RA: citrullination, carbamylation, and oxidation and suggests that other autoantibodies against PTM proteins could be discovered in patients with autoimmune diseases.

The contextual role of TNFR family members in CD8(+) T-cell control of viral infections.
TL;DR: Five members of the TNFR family that are prominently expressed on CD8+ T cells during viral infections, namely, 4‐1BB (CD137), CD27, OX40 (CD134), GITR, and TNFR2 are focused on.

Experimental Autoimmune Myasthenia Gravis May Occur in the Context of a Polarized Th1- or Th2-Type Immune Response in Rats

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a Th1-dominated immune response is not necessarily associated with disease severity in EAMG, not only in rats with disparate MHC haplotype but also in the same rat strain, and suggested that in a situation where complement-fixing Ab can be generated as a consequence of either Th1 or Th2-mediated T cell help, deviation of the immune response will not be an adequate strategy to prevent this Ab-mediated autoimmune disease.

TL;DR: UCX seem to be naturally more potent immunosuppressors and less immunogenic than BM-MSCs, and it is proposed that these differences may be due to increased levels of immunomodulatory surface proteins such as CD200, CD273, CD274 and cytokines such as IL1β, IL-8, LIF and TGFβ2.

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.
