T Cell Activation and Clonal Selection01:22

T Cell Activation and Clonal Selection

17.9K
T cells are integral to our adaptive immune system, recognizing and effectively responding to foreign antigens. T cell activation and clonal selection are pivotal in orchestrating this immune response. This article elucidates these mechanisms, detailing the roles of cluster of differentiation (CD) markers, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, costimulatory signals, and the process of clonal selection.
Naive T cells that have not yet encountered an antigen express two primary CD...

Immunological Memory01:23

Immunological Memory

18.1K
Immunological memory, a pivotal pillar of the adaptive immune system, is responsible for the body's ability to remember and respond more swiftly and effectively to previously encountered pathogens. This remarkable feature is what makes vaccines so effective in preventing diseases.
What is Immunological Memory?
Immunological memory is an integral function of the immune system that allows it to recognize and react more rapidly and effectively to pathogens previously encountered. This feature...

Cells of the Adaptive Immune Response01:23

Cells of the Adaptive Immune Response

10.3K
The T and B lymphocytes of the adaptive immune system develop from common lymphoid progenitor cells in the bone marrow. These progenitors give rise to precursors that eventually develop into both T and B lymphocytes. As these precursors mature, they gain the ability to detect and respond to foreign antigens in the body, a process known as immunocompetence. Additionally, these precursors acquire self-tolerance, a process that ensures they do not react to self-antigens. This intricate system...

T Cell Types and Functions01:24

T Cell Types and Functions

3.5K
When T cells with CD4 markers are activated, they give rise to two types of effector cells: helper T cells and regulatory T cells. Meanwhile, T cells with CD8 markers differentiate into effector cytotoxic T cells. The differentiation of CD4 T cells into helper T cell subsets, such as Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells, is dependent on the antigen type, antigen-presenting cell, and regulatory cytokines.
Th1 cells stimulate dendritic cells to express necessary co-stimulatory molecules on their surfaces for...

Multipotency of Hematopoietic Stem Cells01:19

Multipotency of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

4.2K
The hematopoietic stem cells or HSCs are multipotent, meaning they can differentiate and give rise to all blood and immune cells. HSCs are maintained in the quiescent stage until an external stimulus initiates their differentiation. The multipotent HSCs exist as two heterogeneous populations, long-term repopulating cells (LTRC) and short-term repopulating cells (STRC). The two HSC populations have different surface markers or receptors and are classified based on quiescence and long-term...

Summary

Newly identified T memory stem cells (TSCM) are crucial for lifelong immunity and T cell maintenance. These stem cells also play a significant role in HIV/SIV infection dynamics and pathogenesis.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology
  • Virology

Background:

  • T lymphocytes, crucial for adaptive immunity, are replenished by stem cells in various tissues.
  • Stem cell-like cells, termed T memory stem cells (TSCM), have been recently identified in humans and primates.
  • TSCM constitute 2-4% of circulating T lymphocytes, exhibit durability, and self-renew.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the critical roles of TSCM in T cell homeostasis and long-term immunity.
  • To explore the involvement of TSCM in the pathogenesis of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) infection.

Main Methods:

  • Physical identification and isolation of TSCM from human, mouse, and nonhuman primate samples.
  • Analysis of TSCM differentiation into various T cell subsets.
  • Assessment of TSCM roles in HIV/SIV disease pathogenesis and viral reservoirs.

Main Results:

  • TSCM rapidly differentiate into mature T cells while maintaining their own pool via self-renewal.
  • CD4+ TSCM cells are a significant component of the HIV-1 reservoir in patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART).
  • CD4+ TSCM cells show relative resistance to SIV, distinguishing non-pathogenic SIV infection in natural hosts.

Conclusions:

  • TSCM are vital for maintaining T cell populations and ensuring lifelong immunity.
  • TSCM are intrinsically involved in HIV/SIV pathogenesis, potentially serving as a viral reservoir and influencing disease progression.
