    Helper T cells specific for sheep erythrocytes were generated in lethally irradiated mice. The helper effect exerted by these cells was determined in vitro in spleen cell cultures. Irradiation of the helper cells in vivo or in vitro with 1-9 Gy resulted in a bimodal relation between radiation dose and helper effect when measured either immediately or 6 hours after irradiation. The dose-effect curve became nearly linear when tested 20 hours after irradiation. These results indicated that the helper population consisted of about 80 per cent of cells inactivated shortly after irradiation, possibly due to interphase death, and a second type showing a more retarded cell death. The latter cells were able to exert a helper function during the interval between irradiation and cell death.

    PET and MRI Guided Irradiation of a Glioblastoma Rat Model Using a Micro-irradiator

    In the past, small animal irradiation was usually performed without the ability to target a well-delineated tumor volume. The goal was to mimic the treatment of human glioblastoma in rats. Using a small animal irradiation platform, we performed MRI-guided 3D conformal irradiation with PET-based sub-volume boosting in a preclinical...

    Retroviral Transduction of Helper T Cells as a Genetic Approach to Study Mechanisms Controlling their Differentiation and Function

    Many experimental systems have been utilized to understand the mechanisms regulating T cell development and function in an immune response. Here a genetic approach using retroviral transduction is described, which is economic, time efficient, and most importantly, highly informative in identifying regulatory...

    An In Vitro Technique to Differentiate GM-CSF Producing T Helper Cells from Naïve T Cells

    This video demonstrates the in vitro differentiation of granulocyte-macrophage-colony-stimulating factor or GM-CSF-producing T helper cells (THGM). Isolated naïve T cells are stimulated for differentiation into THGM, which is confirmed by detecting high intracellular GM-CSF production and a low expression of other T helper cell-specific...

    Immunological Synapse Formation Between Helper T Cells and Antigen-Presenting Cells

    This video demonstrates the in vitro study of immunological synapse formation between an antigen-presenting cell and helper T lymphocytes using a fluorescence microscope. T cell receptors of helper T lymphocytes interact with an antigen-MHC-II complex in antigen-presenting cells and form immunological synapses, followed by secretory vesicle movements toward the synapse, which is visualized by fluorescent...
