Abstract Antigen presentation is a critical process in host defense for initiating adaptive immune responses. The APC loads peptides derived from antigens onto major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules and exports them to the surface for T cells sampling. If the primary interaction between an APC and T cell is successful, i.e. the TCR binds an appropriate MHC-peptide complex, this leads to an adaptive immune response. Peptide antigens are presented on two types of MHC molecules, MHC I and MHC II via several distinct processing pathways. In turn, the MHC molecule dictates which type of T

We report here that LC are more efficient APC than DC from the same donor, indicating that the APC capacity of dendritic cells isolated from different organs is correlated to their expression of HLA class II gene products.

Presentation of exogenous protein antigens to T lymphocytes is based on the intersection of two complex pathways: (a) synthesis, assembly, and transport of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-invariant chain complexes from the endoplasmic reticulum to a specialized endosomal compartment, and (b) endocytosis, denaturation, and proteolysis of antigens followed by loading of antigenic peptides onto newly synthesized MHC class II molecules. It is believed that expression of MHC class II heterodimers, invariant chain and human leukocyte antigen-DM is both necessary and sufficient to rec

Abstract:
Abstract Antigen presentation is a critical process in host defense for initiating adaptive immune responses. The APC loads peptides derived from antigens onto major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules and exports them to the surface for T cells sampling. If the primary interaction between an APC and T cell is successful, i.e. the TCR binds an appropriate MHC-peptide complex, this leads to an adaptive immune response. Peptide antigens are presented on two types of MHC molecules, MHC I and MHC II via several distinct processing pathways. In turn, the MHC molecule dictates which type of T

Abstract:
The goal of tumor immunotherapy is to elicit immune responses against autologous tumors. It would be highly desirable that such responses include multiple T cell clones against multiple tumor antigens. This could be obtained using the antigen presenting capacity of dendritic cells (DCs) and cross-priming. That is, one could load the DC with tumor lines of any human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA) type to elicit T cell responses against the autologous tumor. In this study, we show that human DCs derived from monocytes and loaded with killed melanoma cells prime naive CD45RA+CD27+CD8+

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Group I CD1 proteins are specialized antigen-presenting molecules that present both microbial and self lipid antigens to CD1-restricted α/β T lymphocytes. The production of high levels of gamma interferon and lysis of infected macrophages by lipid-specific T lymphocytes are believed to play pivotal roles mainly in the defense against mycobacterial infections. We previously demonstrated that Mycobacterium tuberculosis and bacillus Calmette-Guérin (Mycobacterium bovis BCG) induce human monocytes to differentiate into CD1− dendritic cells (DC), which cannot present lipid antigens to spe

The induction of T cell responses requires recognition of antigens in association with class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins and specialized antigen-presenting cells. Candidate antigen-presenting cells in the gut include dendritic cells, macrophages, B lymphocytes, mucosal epithelial cells and endothelial cells. Dendritic cells isolated from normal human colon are potent inducers of primary immune responses and express high levels of class lI MHC proteins. Lamina propria macrophages display class II MHC proteins, can present antigens to sensitized T cells, may process antige

Abstract:
Human BDCA3+ dendritic cells (DCs), the proposed equivalent to mouse CD8α+ DCs, are widely thought to cross present antigens on MHC class I (MHCI) molecules more efficiently than other DC populations. If true, it is unclear whether this reflects specialization for cross presentation or a generally enhanced ability to present antigens on MHCI. We compared presentation by BDCA3+ DCs with BDCA1+ DCs using a quantitative approach whereby antigens were targeted to distinct intracellular compartments by receptor-mediated internalization. As expected, BDCA3+ DCs were superior at cross presentation of

Abstract:
Lymph nodes are secondary lymphoid organs that appear as bean-like nodules usually <1 cm in size, and they are localized throughout the body. Many antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages reside in lymph nodes, where they mediate host defense responses against pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. In cancers, antigen-presenting cells induce cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) to react to cancer cell-derived antigens. Macrophages located in the lymph node sinus are of particular interest in relation to anti-cancer immune responses because many studies using both human sp

Ceramides are intramembrane diffusible mediators involved in transducing signals originated from a variety of cell surface receptors. Different adaptive and differentiative cellular responses, including apoptotic cell death, use ceramide-mediated pathways as an essential part of the program. Here, we show that human dendritic cells respond to CD40 ligand, as well as to tumor necrosis factor-α and IL-1β, with intracellular ceramide accumulation, as they are induced to differentiate.

Abstract Exposure to semen is the primary route of transmission for many sexually transmitted infections. Accumulating evidence suggests that components in semen directly impair leukocytes, which could compromise the protective efficacy of vaccine-induced immune responses in the mucosa. Exosomes, small microvesicles with immunomodulatory functions, are present at an average concentration of 2.2 × 1013 particles per ejaculate (n = 18). These seminal exosomes (SE) efficiently and rapidly entered peripheral and vaginal dendritic cells (DCs), whereas T cell uptake was poor. In PBMC cultures, SE im
