The increased affinity of memory antibody responses is due largely to the generation and selection of memory B cells that accumulate somatic mutations after initial antigenic stimulation. Further affinity maturation and mutation also accompany subsequent immunizations. Previous studies have suggested that, like primary antibody-forming cell (AFC) clones, secondary AFC do not accumulate further mutations...
Using a fluorescein-conjugated antigenic peptide, peptide-receptive H-2K b MHC class I molecules were found throughout the secretory pathways of RMA cells and peptide transporter (TAP)-deficient derivative cells (RMA/S). RMA/S cells displayed higher levels of intracellular peptide-receptive molecules, while, surprisingly, RMA cells expressed 3- to 5-fold more cell surface peptide-receptive...
CD8 + T cells control immune responses, and recent studies suggest that this regulation is, in part, specifically directed towards TCR structures expressed by CD4 + cells. To develop a system to study the role of the TCR in regulatory interactions, we isolated clones of CD4 + cells expressing identified TCR Vβ chains. These CD4 + clones were used to stimulate and expand...
Several tumor antigens are recognized by autologous cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) on human melanoma MZ2-MEL. Some of them are encoded by genes MAGE-1 and MAGE-3, which are not expressed in normal tissues except in testis. Here, we report the identification of a new gene that codes for another of these antigens. This gene, named BAGE, codes for a putative protein of 43 aa and seems to belong to a family...
Interactions mediated by TCRs expressed on different T cell subsets may play a role in immunoregulation. To investigate this idea, we studied the regulation of superantigen-induced TCR Vβ-restricted responses. We asked whether the in vivo regulation of CD4 + Vβ8 + T cells following SEB injection is controlled by CD8 + T cells. We found that in mice deficient in CD8 + ...
Inoculation of plasmid vectors encoding a viral protein into muscle tissue was shown to result in expression of the transantigen and, consequently, an antiviral immune response. Here, we show that coinoculation of a plasmid expressing the glycoprotein of rabies virus with plasmids encoding mouse cytokines modulated the immune response to the viral protein. Coinoculation with a vector expressing mouse...
The superantigen encoded by the mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) is a potent stimulator of T cells when bound to MHC class II molecules. Recent data from this laboratory have shown that the Mtv7 superantigen, Mls-1, elicits a strong T cell response when presented by HLA-DR. To expand these observations further, we have produced the 28 kDa extracellular domain and the 18 kDa carboxy-terminal subfragment...
An Epstein-Barr virus—encoded protein, LMP2, blocks the effects of surface immunoglobulin (slg) cross-linking on calcium mobilization and on lytic reactivation of EBV in latently infected and growth-transformed primary human B lymphocytes. In wild-type EBV-transformed cells, LMP2 is constitutively tyrosine phosphorylated and is associated with Lyn and Syk protein-tyrosine kinases (PTKs). Baseline...
