Contribution of CD4+, CD8+CD28+, and CD8+CD28- T Cells to CD3+ Lymphocyte Homeostasis During the Natural Course of HIV- 1 Infection Contribution of CD4+, CD8+CD28+, and CD8+CD28- T cells to CD3+ lymphocyte homeostasis during the natural course of HIV- 1 infection. A Caruso, … , A Balsari, A Turano J Clin Invest. 1998;101(1):137-144. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI195. Research Article The relationship between the number of circulating CD4+ T cells and the presence of particular CD8+ T cell subsets was analyzed by flow cytometry on PBL from asymptomatic HIV-1-infected patients whose specimens were collected every 2 mo for a total period of 32 mo. Only slight variations were detected in the absolute number of lymphocytes and percentage of CD3+ lymphocytes, whereas both CD4+ and CD8+ T cell subsets showed wide intrapatient variation. Variations in the number of CD8+CD28+ cells paralleled those of the CD4+ T cell subset in each patient tested, while the presence of CD8+CD28- T cells correlated inversely with CD4+ and CD8+CD28+ T cells. These data show that changes in the number of circulating CD4+-and CD8+CD28+ T cells are strongly related to the presence of CD8+CD28- T cells in these patients. Insight into the significance of CD8+CD28- T cell expansion will allow us to understand the mechanisms and significance of the HIV-1- driven change in CD4+CD8+ T cell homeostasis and the basic immunopathology of HIV disease.

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.

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.

Dogs develop spontaneous malignancies similar to humans in their tissues of origin, gene expression profiles, treatments, and disease courses, and have long been used as models for immunotherapy.

Only a small fraction of thymocytes are selected to account for self tolerance, as well as self restriction, and become immunocompetent T cells (2). The molecular and cellular mechanisms for the growth and maturation of thymocytes are poorly understood. Cell surface phenotype analyses have shown that thymocytes are composed ofhighly heterogeneous populations. Based on cell surface expression of the TCR accessory molecules CD4 and CD8, thymocytes can be divided into three major subpopula- tions, which generally are thought to relate to maturation stages. They are the CD2+CD1 - CD4- 8- (double-negative) cells, CD2'CD1'CD4'8' (double-positive) cells, and CD2' CDl - CD4' 8- or CD2' CDl - CD4- 8' (single-positive) mature thymocytes. Both double-negative and double-positive thymocytes are immature cells located in the cortical compartment of human thymus (3). Mature thymocytes do not express the cortical specific marker CD1 but express TCRA and B chain subunits associated with the CD3 complex and reside predominantly in the medullary com- partment (4) .

Mechanisms responsible for serum CD138 production and its biological function in SLE disease remain poorly understood.
