Recent studies CD28 but only expressed on T cells after activation (12). have shown that interactions of the T-lymphocyte receptors CTLA-4 acts cooperatively with CD28 to bind B7 and deliver CD28 and CTLA-4 with their counter receptor, B7, on antigen- T-cell costimulatory signals (13). presenting cells are required for optimal T-cell activation.

The CD CD8 CD8 nomenclature was developed and is maintained through the HLDA (Human Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens) workshop started in 1982. CD45R/B220 CD19 CD19 The goal is to provide standardization of monoclonal antibodies to B Cell CD20 CD22 (B cell activation marker) human antigens across laboratories. To characterize or “workshop” the antibodies, multiple laboratories carry out blind analyses of antibodies. These results independently validate antibody specificity.

  • CD18) in a Patient with Leukocyte Adhesion Molecule (Leu-CAM) Deficiency
    Point mutations impairing cell surface expression of the common beta subunit (CD18) in a patient with leukocyte adhesion molecule (Leu-CAM) deficiency. M A Arnaout, … , D G Tenen, D M Fathallah J Clin Invest. 1990;85(3):977-981. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI114529. Research Article The leukocyte adhesion molecules CD11a/CD18, CD11b/CD18, and CD11c/CD18 (Leu-CAM) are members of the integrin receptor family and mediate crucial adhesion-dependent functions in leukocytes. The molecular basis for their deficient cell surface expression was sought in a patient suffering from severe and recurrent bacterial infections. Previous studies revealed that impaired cell surface expression of Leu-CAM is secondary to heterogeneous structural defects in the common beta subunit (CD18). Cloning and sequencing of complementary DNA encoding for CD18 in this patient revealed two mutant alleles, each representing a point mutation in the coding region of CD18 and resulting in an amino acid substitution. Each mutant allele results in impaired CD18 expression on the cell surface membrane of transfected COS M6 cells. One substitution involves an arginine residue (Arg593----cysteine) that is conserved in the highly homologous fourth cysteine-rich repeats of other mammalian integrin subfamilies. The other substitution involves a lysine residue (Lys196----threonine) located within another highly conserved region in integrins. These data identify crucial residues and regions necessary for normal cell surface expression of CD18 and possibly other integrin beta subunits and define a molecular basis for impaired cell surface expression of CD18 in this patient.

  • The Immunological Synapse and CD28-CD80 Interactions Shannon K
    © 2001 Nature Publishing Group http://immunol.nature.com ARTICLES The immunological synapse and CD28-CD80 interactions Shannon K. Bromley1,Andrea Iaboni2, Simon J. Davis2,Adrian Whitty3, Jonathan M. Green4, Andrey S. Shaw1,ArthurWeiss5 and Michael L. Dustin5,6 Published online: 19 November 2001, DOI: 10.1038/ni737 According to the two-signal model of T cell activation, costimulatory molecules augment T cell receptor (TCR) signaling, whereas adhesion molecules enhance TCR–MHC-peptide recognition.The structure and binding properties of CD28 imply that it may perform both functions, blurring the distinction between adhesion and costimulatory molecules. Our results show that CD28 on naïve T cells does not support adhesion and has little or no capacity for directly enhancing TCR–MHC- peptide interactions. Instead of being dependent on costimulatory signaling, we propose that a key function of the immunological synapse is to generate a cellular microenvironment that favors the interactions of potent secondary signaling molecules, such as CD28. The T cell receptor (TCR) interaction with complexes of peptide and as CD2 and CD48, which suggests that CD28 might have a dual role as major histocompatibility complex (pMHC) is central to the T cell an adhesion and a signaling molecule4.

He was treated with six courses 15 cases of CD20-positive T-cell neoplasms have of mechlorethamine, vincristine, procarbazine, been previously reported in the literature, this is the prednisone/doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine first report of CD20-positive T-cell lymphoma oc- chemotherapy over a period of 6 months. Clinical curring subsequent to treatment of Hodgkin’s dis- remission was achieved for 5 years. In early 1998, the patient noticed enlargement of lymph nodes in ease. The current case affords an opportunity to the posterior cervical region, which were followed review the rarely reported expression of CD20 in clinically for several months. Weight loss of 15 lbs., T-cell neoplasms as well as the relationship between fatigue, and flu-like symptoms ensued. The lymph Hodgkin’s disease and subsequently occurring non- nodes became firmer to palpation and were biop- Hodgkin’s lymphomas. In addition, the identifica- sied, showing peripheral T-cell lymphoma, diffuse tion of this case supports the suggestion that the use large-cell type.

  • Immunological Synapse Formation Licenses CD40-CD40L Accumulations at T-APC Contact Sites1
    The Journal of Immunology Immunological Synapse Formation Licenses CD40-CD40L Accumulations at T-APC Contact Sites1 Judie Boisvert, Samuel Edmondson, and Matthew F. Krummel2 The maintenance of tolerance is likely to rely on the ability of a T cell to polarize surface molecules providing “help” to only specific APCs. The formation of a mature immunological synapse leads to concentration of the TCR at the APC interface. In this study, we show that the CD40-CD154 receptor-ligand pair is also highly concentrated into a central region of the synapse on mouse lymphocytes only after the formation of the TCR/CD3 c-SMAC. Concentration of this ligand was strictly dependent on TCR recognition, the binding of ICAM-1 to T cell integrins and the presence of an intact cytoskeleton in the T cells. This may provide a novel explanation for the specificity of T cell help directing the help signal to the site of Ag receptor signal. It may also serve as a site for these molecular aggregates to coassociate and/or internalize alongside other signaling receptors. The Journal of Im- munology, 2004, 173: 3647–3652. uring the onset and propagation of immune responses, T Interactions of T cells with Ag-bearing APCs is associated with cells send and receive signals via Ag-dependent and Ag- a coalescence of TCRs, other related receptors such as CD2, CD4, independent ligands.

  • Processing Epitope Precursor Recognition and Analogue Provides
    The Journal of Immunology Crystal Structure of Insulin-Regulated Aminopeptidase with Bound Substrate Analogue Provides Insight on Antigenic Epitope Precursor Recognition and Processing Anastasia Mpakali,* Emmanuel Saridakis,* Karl Harlos,† Yuguang Zhao,† Athanasios Papakyriakou,* Paraskevi Kokkala,*,‡ Dimitris Georgiadis,‡ and Efstratios Stratikos* Aminopeptidases that generate antigenic peptides influence immunodominance and adaptive cytotoxic immune responses. The mechanisms that allow these enzymes to efficiently process a vast number of different long peptide substrates are poorly understood. In this work, we report the structure of insulin-regulated aminopeptidase, an enzyme that prepares antigenic epitopes for cross- presentation in dendritic cells, in complex with an antigenic peptide precursor analog. Insulin-regulated aminopeptidase is found in a semiclosed conformation with an extended internal cavity with limited access to the solvent. The N-terminal moiety of the peptide is located at the active site, positioned optimally for catalysis, whereas the C-terminal moiety of the peptide is stabilized along the extended internal cavity lodged between domains II and IV. Hydrophobic interactions and shape complementarity enhance peptide affinity beyond the catalytic site and support a limited selectivity model for antigenic peptide selection that may underlie the generation of complex immunopeptidomes. The Journal of Immunology, 2015, 195: 2842–2851. ytotoxic adaptive immune responses rely on the recogni- process, and present external Ags onto MHCI to allow cross-priming tion on the cell surface of complexes of MHC class I of naive CD8+ T cells (2). The cross-presentation pathway is key for C molecules (MHCI) with antigenic peptides. These peptides the immune defense against many viruses, bacteria, and tumors and are generated inside the cell by proteolytic digestion that often can help the immune system avoid immune evasion strategies.
