Antigen, presentation

Interfaces play a predominant role in metabolic processes [78], as well as in immune recognition (e.g. T lymphocytes recognizing antigens on the surface of antigen presenting cells, section c2.14.6.2. Historically, the bulk of experimental... [Pg.2837]

Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) are cells of the immune system that are able to process and present foreign antigens to effector cells. The antigen is presented in the context of an MHC-I or MHC-II molecule on APCs in the presence of so-called costimulatory molecules to activate the effector cells. [Pg.134]

The antiinflammatory effects of statins likely result from their ability to inhibit the formation of mevalonic acid. Downstream products of this molecule include not only the end product, cholesterol, but also several isoprenoid intermediates that covalently modify ( pre-nylate ) certain key intracellular signaling molecules. Statin treatment reduces leukocyte adhesion, accumulation of macrophages, MMPs, tissue factor, and other proinflammatory mediators. By acting on the MHC class II transactivator (CIITA), statins also interfere with antigen presentation and subsequent T-cell activation. Statin treatment can also limit platelet activation in some assays as well. All these results support the concept that in addition to their favorable effect on the lipid profile, statins can also exert an array of antiinflammatory and immunomodulatory actions. [Pg.228]

Autoimmune Disease. Figure 1 Mechanisms of self tolerance. DC, dendritic (antigen presenting) cell T, T-lymphocyte Th, T helper lymphocyte Treg, T regulatory lymphocyte. For details see text. [Pg.239]

Autoimmune Disease. Figure 2 Generation of autoreactivity. APC, antigen presenting cell IFN, interferon LPS, lipopolysaccharide MHC, major histocompatibility complex T, T-lymphocyte TCR, Tcell (antigen) receptor TLR, toll like receptors. For details see text. [Pg.240]

Dendritic cells (DC) are important antigen-presenting cells mostly derived from the bone marrow. Microscopically they show characteristic long cytoplasmic extensions called dendrites. There are several types of specialized DC present in all lymphoid tissues and major... [Pg.420]

The human leucocyte antigen (HLA) system is the general name of a group of genes in the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region on human chromosome 6 (mouse chromosome 17) that encodes the cell-surface antigen-presenting proteins. [Pg.600]

Parallel to orchestrating acute inflammatory processes by providing an optimal milieu of cytokines, mediators, and adhesion molecules in order to recruit and activate effector cells to the site of infection, dendritic cells also setve as professional antigen-presenting cells for cells of the adaptive immune system ( antigen presentation ... [Pg.614]

In the specialized environment of secondary lymphoid tissues such as lymph nodes or spleen, dendritic cells provide the requirements for naive T-lymphocytes to become activated and to proliferate. The professional antigen-presenting cells present peptides in MHC II, express costimulatory molecules, and release cytokines into the immunological synapse, which is formed by the antigen-presenting cell and the naive T-lymphocyte. Thus, cells of innate immunity initiate and facilitate the activation of naive lymphocytes, and it is easily conceivable that their cytokines and adhesion molecules will instruct the naive T-lymphocyte during activation and differentiation to T-effector cells. [Pg.614]

Class IIHLA molecules are expressed on the surface of antigen-presenting cells. They play a key role in presentation of processed linear peptide antigens of at least nine amino acids to T cells. Antigen is bound to the HLA antigen binding cleft formed by the a and 3 chains of the HLA class II molecule. This tri-molecular HLA-antigen complex binds in turn to the variable portion of the T-cell receptor. [Pg.1082]

The T cell receptor is a clonotypic, T cell specific surface receptor that mostly recognizes peptides bound to MHC molecules on antigen-presenting cells. [Pg.1177]
