11 15879103 Expression of killer cell lectin-like receptor G1 on antigen-specific human CD8+ T lymphocytes during active, latent, and resolved infection and its relation with CD57.
12 15879103 Killer cell lectin-like receptor G1 (KLRG1) is one of several inhibitory killer cell lectin-like receptors expressed by NK cells and T lymphocytes, mainly CD8(+) effector/memory cells that can secrete cytokines but have poor proliferative capacity.
13 15879103 Using multiparameter flow cytometry, we studied KLRG1 expression on CD8(+) T cells specific for epitopes of CMV, EBV, influenza, and HIV.
14 15879103 Over 92% of CD8(+) cells specific for CMV or EBV expressed KLRG1 during the latent stage of these chronic infections.
15 15879103 CD8(+) T cell cells specific for HIV epitopes were mostly (72-89%) KLRG1(+), even though not quite at the level of predominance noted with CMV or EBV.
16 15879103 Lower frequency of KLRG1 expression was observed among CD8(+) cells specific for influenza (40-73%), a resolved infection without a latent stage.
17 15879103 We further observed that CD8(+) cells expressing CD57, a marker of replicative senescence, also expressed KLRG1; however, a population of CD57(-)KLRG1(+) cells was also identified.
18 15879103 This population may represent a "memory" phenotype, because they also expressed CD27, CD28, CCR7, and CD127.
19 15879103 In contrast, CD57(+)KLRG1(+) cells did not express CD27, CD28, and CCR7, and expressed CD127 at a much lower frequency, indicating that they represent effector cells that are truly terminally differentiated.
20 15879103 The combination of KLRG1 and CD57 expression might thus aid in refining functional characterization of CD8(+) T cell subsets.

100 16951344 Impaired memory CD8 T cell development in the absence of methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 2.
101 16951344 The role of MBD2 during the differentiation of naive CD8 T cells into effector and memory cells was determined following acute infection of MBD2-deficient mice with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus.
102 16951344 The remaining MBD2(-/-) memory cells were not fully protective during rechallenge, and memory cell characteristics were altered with regard to surface markers (IL-7Ralpha, KLRG-1, CD27, and others) and cytokine production.
103 16951344 The defect was CD8 T cell intrinsic, because memory cell development was also delayed when MBD2(-/-) CD8 T cells were adoptively transferred into SCID mice.
104 16951344 These data demonstrate that MBD2 is a previously unrecognized intracellular factor required for the efficient generation of protective memory CD8 T cells.
105 16982855 Cutting edge: IL-7-independent regulation of IL-7 receptor alpha expression and memory CD8 T cell development.
106 16982855 Our results show that in the absence of IL-7, IL-7Ralpha expression was extinguished on the majority of CD8 T cells responding to virus infection, sustained on a subset of effector cells transitioning to memory, and expressed at high levels by memory cells.
107 16982855 Additionally, an IL-7-deficient environment was capable of supporting bcl-2 up-regulation and memory cell development in response to virus infection.
108 16982855 Thus, IL-7Ralpha regulation occurs independently of IL-7 in responding CD8 T cells, indicating that CD8 memory T cell precursors are not selected by IL-7/IL-7Ralpha interactions.

128 17005692 Between days 14 and 21, there was a switch from IFN-gamma and IL-2 coexpression to IL-2 production only, coinciding with a resting phenotype and an increased in vitro proliferation response.
129 17005692 The early CCR5+CD38+++ vaccinia virus-specific CD4+ T cells were similar to our previous observations of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-specific CD4+ T cells in primary HIV type 1 (HIV-1) infection, but the vaccinia virus-specific cells expressed much more CD127 and IL-2 than we previously found in their HIV-specific counterparts.
130 17005692 The current study provides important information on the differentiation of IL-2+ vaccinia virus-specific memory cells, allowing further study of antiviral effector CD4+ T cells in healthy adults and their dysfunction in HIV-1 infection.
131 17151096 Eight days following infection, we found that 85 to 95% of CD8 T cells exhibit an effector phenotype as indicated by granzyme B, 1B11, CD62L, CD11a, and CD127 expression.
132 17202339 Chemokine-guided CD4+ T cell help enhances generation of IL-6RalphahighIL-7Ralpha high prememory CD8+ T cells.
133 17202339 CD4(+) T cells promote effective CD8(+) T cell-mediated immunity, but the timing and mechanistic details of such help remain controversial.
134 17202339 Using a noninfectious vaccine model in immunocompetent mice, we show that even in the presence of innate stimuli, CD4(+) T cell help early after priming is required for generating an optimal pool of functional memory CD8(+) T cells.
135 17202339 CD4(+) T cell help increased the size of a previously unreported population of IL-6Ralpha(high)IL-7Ralpha(high) prememory CD8(+) T cells shortly after priming that showed a survival advantage in vivo and contributed to the majority of functional memory CD8(+) T cells after the contraction phase.
136 17202339 In accord with our recent demonstration of chemokine-guided recruitment of naive CD8(+) T cells to sites of CD4(+) T cell-dendritic cell interactions, the generation of IL-6Ralpha(high)IL-7Ralpha(high) prememory as well as functional memory CD8(+) T cells depended on the early postvaccination action of the inflammatory chemokines CCL3 and CCL4.
137 17202339 Together, these findings support a model of CD8(+) T cell memory cell differentiation involving the delivery of key signals early in the priming process based on chemokine-guided attraction of naive CD8(+) T cells to sites of Ag-driven interactions between TLR-activated dendritic cells and CD4(+) T cells.
138 17202339 They also reveal that elevated IL-6Ralpha expression by a subset of CD8(+) T cells represents an early imprint of CD4(+) T cell helper function that actively contributes to the survival of activated CD8(+) T cells.
139 17202339 Chemokine-guided CD4+ T cell help enhances generation of IL-6RalphahighIL-7Ralpha high prememory CD8+ T cells.
140 17202339 CD4(+) T cells promote effective CD8(+) T cell-mediated immunity, but the timing and mechanistic details of such help remain controversial.

145 17202339 They also reveal that elevated IL-6Ralpha expression by a subset of CD8(+) T cells represents an early imprint of CD4(+) T cell helper function that actively contributes to the survival of activated CD8(+) T cells.
146 17237418 The strongest correlates of preserved CD4(+) T cell counts were a low percentage of circulating effector T cells (CD28(-)CD95(+) and/or IL-7R/CD127(-)) and a high percentage of CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells.
147 17237418 The absence of AIDS in these "CD4(low)" naturally SIV-infected SMs defines a protective role of the reduced immune activation even in the context of a significant CD4(+) T cell depletion.
148 17310492 Importantly, pcDS2 plus these co-stimulatory molecules elicited a higher level of IFN-gamma and IL-4 in CD4(+) T cells and a higher level of IFN-gamma in CD8(+) T cells.
149 17310492 In addition, a significantly robust antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response and the production of long-term memory CD8(+) T cells were also observed in the groups immunized with pcDS2 plus 4-1BBL, OX40L, or CD70.
150 17310492 Consistently, as late as 100 days after immunization, upregulated expressions of BCL-2, Spi2A, IL-7Ra, and IL-15Ra were still observed in mice immunized with pcDS2 plus these co-stimulatory molecules, suggesting the generation of memory T cells in these groups.
151 17372991 For CD8(+ )T cells, successful generation of memory cells has been linked to IL-7 receptor alpha (IL-7Ralpha) expression, suggesting a role for IL-7 signaling, which in turn is important for preventing T cell apoptosis.
152 17372991 We thus investigated the kinetics and changes of IL-7Ralpha and anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 expression levels in tetanus toxoid (TT)-specific CD4(+ )T cells at different time points prior and after TT re-immunization of TT-immune individuals.
153 17372991 Prior to re-immunization, most TT-specific CD4(+ )T cells were high IL-2 producers, CD45RA(-)CCR7(+), IL-7Ralpha(high)Bcl-2(high) cells, resembling typical long-lived central memory cells.
154 17372991 Already 5 days, and more importantly at the peak of the response, after TT re-immunization, a substantial fraction of these cells secreted also IFN-gamma, down-regulated CCR7, IL-7Ralpha and Bcl-2 and became Ki67 positive, resembling effector memory cells.
155 17372991 Interestingly, a significant fraction of IL-7Ralpha(high)Bcl-2(high) TT-specific CD4(+ )T cells, i.e. the proposed memory cell precursors, remained stable at any time point upon re-immunization.
156 17372991 For CD8(+ )T cells, successful generation of memory cells has been linked to IL-7 receptor alpha (IL-7Ralpha) expression, suggesting a role for IL-7 signaling, which in turn is important for preventing T cell apoptosis.
157 17372991 We thus investigated the kinetics and changes of IL-7Ralpha and anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 expression levels in tetanus toxoid (TT)-specific CD4(+ )T cells at different time points prior and after TT re-immunization of TT-immune individuals.
158 17372991 Prior to re-immunization, most TT-specific CD4(+ )T cells were high IL-2 producers, CD45RA(-)CCR7(+), IL-7Ralpha(high)Bcl-2(high) cells, resembling typical long-lived central memory cells.
159 17372991 Already 5 days, and more importantly at the peak of the response, after TT re-immunization, a substantial fraction of these cells secreted also IFN-gamma, down-regulated CCR7, IL-7Ralpha and Bcl-2 and became Ki67 positive, resembling effector memory cells.
160 17372991 Interestingly, a significant fraction of IL-7Ralpha(high)Bcl-2(high) TT-specific CD4(+ )T cells, i.e. the proposed memory cell precursors, remained stable at any time point upon re-immunization.

162 17372991 We thus investigated the kinetics and changes of IL-7Ralpha and anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 expression levels in tetanus toxoid (TT)-specific CD4(+ )T cells at different time points prior and after TT re-immunization of TT-immune individuals.
163 17372991 Prior to re-immunization, most TT-specific CD4(+ )T cells were high IL-2 producers, CD45RA(-)CCR7(+), IL-7Ralpha(high)Bcl-2(high) cells, resembling typical long-lived central memory cells.

166 17403871 Accordingly, populations of CD62L(high) interleukin-7 receptor-positive progenitor central memory cells grafted into naïve mice expand in response to orally administered Salmonella expressing the chromosomal translational fusion of sspH2 and the sequence encoding the SIINFEKL peptide but fail to proliferate following systemic stimulation.
167 17538120 Upregulated genes included the immune regulatory molecules interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta), CIAS-1, tumor necrosis factor alpha, PDE4B, PTGS2, IL-8, CXCL2, CCL4, ICAM-1, CD83, GOS-2, IER3 (IEX-1), and TNFAIP3 (A20).
168 17538120 Plasma levels of IL-1beta and IL-8 were elevated during measles virus infection.
169 17538120 Downregulated genes mainly involved three gene ontology biological processes, transcription, signal transduction, and the immune response, and included IL-16 and cell surface receptors IL-4R, IL-6R, IL-7R, IL-27RA, CCR2, and CCR7.
170 17579032 During the primary immune response, we show generation of CD8+ memory T cell precursors expressing lymphoid homing molecules (CCR7, L-selectin) and homeostatic cytokine receptors (IL-7alpha, IL-2/IL-15beta).
171 17579032 During long-term persistent infection, central-memory cells constitute 20-50% of the virus-specific CD8+ T cell population and maintain the expression of L-selectin, CCR7, and IL-7R molecules.
172 17579032 Functional analyses demonstrate that during viral persistence: 1) CD8+ T cells maintain TCR affinity for peptide/MHC complexes, 2) the functional avidity of CD8+ T cells measured as the capacity to produce IFN-gamma is preserved intact, and 3) virus-specific CD8+ T cells have in vivo killing capacity.
173 17606632 Here, we analyzed the CD8+ T cell recall responses to respiratory virus infection in mice and demonstrate that activation markers, such as CD27 and CD43, define three distinct subpopulations of memory CD8+ T cells that differ in their capacities to mount recall responses.
174 17606632 These subpopulations are distinct from effector- and central-memory subsets, coordinately express other markers associated with activation status, including CXCR3, CD127, and killer cell lectin-like receptor G1, and are superior to CD62L in predicting the capacity of memory T cells to mediate recall responses.
175 17704295 A role for TNF in limiting the duration of CTL effector phase and magnitude of CD8 T cell memory.
176 17704295 To better understand the cellular mechanisms underlying the regulation of T cells by TNF, we have analyzed the role of TNF in regulating various facets of the antigen-specific CD8 T cell response to lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) in mice.
177 17704295 We show that expansion and differentiation of virus-specific effector CD8 T cells and LCMV clearance are not dependent on TNF.
178 17704295 Instead, we demonstrate that TNF limits the duration of the effector phase of the CD8 T cell response by regulating apoptosis and not proliferation of effector cells in vivo.
179 17704295 We further show that attenuation of effector cell apoptosis induced by TNF deficiency led to a substantial increase in the number of virus-specific memory CD8 T cells without affecting their function.
180 17704295 The enhancement in the number of memory CD8 T cells in TNF-deficient (TNF-/-) mice was not associated with up-regulation of IL-7Ralpha or Bcl-2 in effector cells, which indicated that TNF might limit differentiation of memory cells from IL-7R(lo) effector cells.
181 17704295 Collectively, these data are strongly suggestive of a role for TNF in down-regulating CD8 T cell responses and the establishment of CD8 T cell memory during an acute viral infection.
182 18354208 They exhibited increased expression of CD122 and CD127, akin to the Ag-independent T cell clonal expansions found in old specific pathogen-free laboratory mice.
183 18424713 IL-12 signaling drives CD8+ T cell IFN-gamma production and differentiation of KLRG1+ effector subpopulations during Toxoplasma gondii Infection.
184 18424713 Further phenotypic analysis revealed that the acquisition of KLRG1 among effector subpopulations correlated with the down-regulation of both IL-7R and CD27, suggesting that KLRG1 marks dominant, end-stage effector cells.
185 18424713 Furthermore, IL-12 signaling-dependent T-bet expression was also found to be important for differentiation of KLRG1(+) effectors.
186 18424713 Our results underscore a vital role for IL-12 in not only the induction of IFN-gamma expression but also in the development of heterogeneous subpopulations of effector CD8(+) T cells generated in response to the intracellular parasite T. gondii.
187 18490712 Here we show that treatment of murine fetal thymic organ cultures (FTOCs) with TLR3 or TLR7 ligands induced rapid expression of IFN-alpha and -beta mRNA, hallmarks of acute and chronic viral infections.
188 18490712 Down-regulation of IL-7R alpha-chain expression, together with an increased expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 and a concomitant decreased expression of the transcriptional regulator growth factor independence 1 were observed in TLR ligands or IFN-treated FTOCs.
189 18490712 Because TLR ligands are widely used as vaccine adjuvants, their immunomodulatory actions mediated mainly by IFN-alpha suggested by our results should be taken in consideration.
190 18562053 CD40L expressed from the canarypox vector, ALVAC, can boost immunogenicity of HIV-1 canarypox vaccine in mice and enhance the in vitro expansion of viral specific CD8+ T cell memory responses from HIV-1-infected and HIV-1-uninfected individuals.
191 18562053 CD40 ligand (CD40L), a member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily (TNFSF), is a pivotal costimulatory molecule for immune responses.
192 18562053 Co-immunization of mice with CD40L expressing canarypox and the canarypox vaccine expressing HIV-1 proteins, vCP1452, augmented HIV-1 specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses in terms of frequency, polyfunctionality and interleukin (IL)-7 receptor alpha chain (IL-7Ralpha, CD127) expression.
193 18562053 In addition, CD40L expressed from canarypox virus could significantly augment CD4+ T cell responses against HIV-1 in mice.
194 18562053 CD40L expressed from canarypox virus matured human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDCs) in a tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) independent manner, which underwent less apoptosis, and could expand ex vivo Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-specific CTL responses from healthy human individuals and ex vivo HIV-1-specific CTL responses from HIV-1-infected individuals in the presence or absence of CD4+ T cells.
195 18657205 Differential expression of CD26 on virus-specific CD8(+) T cells during active, latent and resolved infection.
196 18657205 Immunophenotypic analyses using multi-parameter flow cytometry and tetramer technology identified a unique pattern of CD26(high) expression among influenza-specific CD8(+) T cells, but not among CD8(+) T cells specific for CMV, EBV (three different epitopes) or HIV.
197 18657205 The median percentage of CD8(+) T cells expressing CD26 was 95.5% for influenza, but for cells specific for CMV, EBV and HIV it was 10.5%, 12%-19%, and 13.2%, respectively.
198 18657205 CD26(high) expression correlates with expression of CD127, a marker of memory cells.
199 18657205 Furthermore, CD26(high) cells can produce interleukin-2.
200 18657205 These findings offer insight into the dynamics of T-cell differentiation, and they may offer a specific marker of a successfully developed memory CD8(+) T cell, that of CD26(high).
201 18676860 Importantly, they recognized HLA-DRB1*04-matched fresh leukemic cells expressing the WT1 antigen.
202 18676860 These clones exerted a T helper 2 cytokine profile, had a CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+)GITR(+)CD127(-) T(reg) phenotype, and significantly inhibited the proliferative activity of allogeneic T cells independently of cell contact.
203 18676860 Furthermore, priming of T cells with the WT1-126 HLA-A0201-restricted peptide in the presence of T(regs) strongly inhibited the induction of anti-WT1-126 CD8(+) CTL responses as evidenced by both very low cytotoxic activity and IFN-gamma production.
204 18676860 Moreover, these T(reg) clones specifically produced granzyme B and selectively induced apoptosis in WT1-84-pulsed autologous antigen-presenting cells but not in apoptotic-resistant DR4-matched leukemic cells.
205 18676860 Importantly, we have also detected anti-WT1-84 interleukin-5(+)/granzyme B(+)/Foxp3(+) CD4(+) T(regs) in five of eight HLA-DR4(+) acute myeloid leukemia patients.
206 19070640 Extensive immunological analysis using polychromatic flow cytometry staining revealed that vaccinated, but not mock-vaccinated mice developed robust cellular immune responses as evidenced by up-regulation of CD4(+) CD154(+) IFNgamma(+) T cells in vaccinated, but not mock-vaccinated mice.
207 19070640 Similarly, vaccinated mice developed robust E-glycoprotein-specific CD8(+) T cell immune responses as evidenced by the presence of a high percentage of CD8(+) CD62L(low) IFNgamma(+) cells.
208 19070640 In addition, a sizeable population of CD8(+) CD69(+) cells was detected indicating E-specific activation of mature T cells and CD4(+) CD25(+) CD127(low) T regulatory (T reg) cells were down-regulated.
209 19116651 As soon as 5 days after an intraperitoneal infection with vv, we could identify a subset of CD44(hi) and CD62L(+) vv-specific CD8 T cells in the peritoneal exudate lymphocytes.
210 19116651 This population constituted approximately 10% of all antigen-specific T cells and like central memory T cells, they also expressed high levels of CCR7 and IL-7R but expressed little granzyme B.
211 19383968 IL-7 adjuvant treatment enhances long-term tumor-antigen-specific CD8+ T-cell responses after immunization with recombinant lentivector.
212 19383968 This finding correlates with our observation that, upon recombinant lentivector immunization, a higher fraction of antigen-specific effector CD8+ T cells does not down-regulate the expression of the survival/memory marker interleukin-7 receptor alpha chain (IL-7Ralpha).
213 19383968 Here we show that, surprisingly, higher expression of IL-7Ralpha on recombinant lentivector-induced effector CD8+ T cells does not result in the up-regulation of survival molecules, such as Bcl-2.
214 19383968 We observed an up-regulation of Bcl-2 and a strong expansion of antigen-specific effector CD8+ T cells, and of naive CD8+ T cells.
215 19383968 Strikingly, IL-7 treatment elicited also a significant increase in the number of antigen-specific memory CD8+ T cells in recombinant lentivector-immunized mice, but not in peptide-immunized mice.
216 19383968 Altogether, these data show that IL-7 adjuvant treatment can enhance long-term antigen-specific CD8+ T-cell responses.
217 19383968 However, its efficacy depends on the expression of IL-7Ralpha at the surface of effector CD8+ T cells.
218 19383968 IL-7 adjuvant treatment enhances long-term tumor-antigen-specific CD8+ T-cell responses after immunization with recombinant lentivector.
219 19383968 This finding correlates with our observation that, upon recombinant lentivector immunization, a higher fraction of antigen-specific effector CD8+ T cells does not down-regulate the expression of the survival/memory marker interleukin-7 receptor alpha chain (IL-7Ralpha).
220 19383968 Here we show that, surprisingly, higher expression of IL-7Ralpha on recombinant lentivector-induced effector CD8+ T cells does not result in the up-regulation of survival molecules, such as Bcl-2.
221 19383968 We observed an up-regulation of Bcl-2 and a strong expansion of antigen-specific effector CD8+ T cells, and of naive CD8+ T cells.
222 19383968 Strikingly, IL-7 treatment elicited also a significant increase in the number of antigen-specific memory CD8+ T cells in recombinant lentivector-immunized mice, but not in peptide-immunized mice.
223 19383968 Altogether, these data show that IL-7 adjuvant treatment can enhance long-term antigen-specific CD8+ T-cell responses.
224 19383968 However, its efficacy depends on the expression of IL-7Ralpha at the surface of effector CD8+ T cells.
225 19383968 IL-7 adjuvant treatment enhances long-term tumor-antigen-specific CD8+ T-cell responses after immunization with recombinant lentivector.
226 19383968 This finding correlates with our observation that, upon recombinant lentivector immunization, a higher fraction of antigen-specific effector CD8+ T cells does not down-regulate the expression of the survival/memory marker interleukin-7 receptor alpha chain (IL-7Ralpha).

228 19383968 We observed an up-regulation of Bcl-2 and a strong expansion of antigen-specific effector CD8+ T cells, and of naive CD8+ T cells.
229 19383968 Strikingly, IL-7 treatment elicited also a significant increase in the number of antigen-specific memory CD8+ T cells in recombinant lentivector-immunized mice, but not in peptide-immunized mice.
230 19383968 Altogether, these data show that IL-7 adjuvant treatment can enhance long-term antigen-specific CD8+ T-cell responses.
231 19383968 However, its efficacy depends on the expression of IL-7Ralpha at the surface of effector CD8+ T cells.
232 19390618 CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells (Treg cells) are associated with impaired T cell control of Plasmodium spp infection.
233 19390618 CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+)CD127(lo) Treg cells were significantly elevated in patients with uncomplicated (UM; n = 17) and severe malaria (SM; n = 16) relative to exposed asymptomatic controls (AC; n = 10).
234 19528214 The generation of optimal numbers of antigen-specific CD8(+) effector T cells was found to require CD4(+) T-cell help.
235 19528214 At 7 days following immunization, antigen-specific cells were found to be CD62L(low), KLRG1(+), and CD127(low), and they maintained this phenotype for more than 70 days.
236 19528214 This study provides further insight into vaccine-induced cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responses that correlate with protective immunity to T. gondii and identifies a critical role for CD4(+) T cells in the generation of protective CD8(+) T-cell responses.
237 19533748 Pretreatment frequency of circulating IL-17+ CD4+ T-cells, but not Tregs, correlates with clinical response to whole-cell vaccination in prostate cancer patients.
238 19533748 Surface expression of the chemokine receptors CCR4 and CCR6 was used to further subdivide IL-17-producing cells into subsets with distinct homing properties.
239 19533748 The frequency of circulating regulatory T-cells (Tregs), defined as CD3(+)CD4(+)CD127(lo)Foxp3(+)CD25(+) was compared in the same patients.
240 19533748 The frequency of CCR4(-)IL-17(+)CD4(+) T-cells prevaccination inversely correlated with time to disease progression (TTP) in 23 prostate cancer patients.
241 19564339 Recent studies have revealed the critical role of programmed death-1 (PD-1) in exhaustion of HIV- and SIV-specific CD8(+) T cells.
242 19564339 In this study, we show that high expression of PD-1 correlates with increased ex vivo spontaneous and CD95/Fas-induced apoptosis, particularly in the "effector-memory" CD8(+) T cell population from HIV(+) donors.
243 19564339 High expression of PD-1 was linked to a proapoptotic phenotype characterized by low expression of Bcl-2 and IL7-R alpha, high expression of CD95/Fas and high mitochondrial mass.
244 19564339 Expression of PD-1 and CD57 was differentially associated with the maturation status of CD8(+) T cells in HIV infection.
245 19564339 CD57 was linked to higher apoptosis resistance, with cells expressing a PD-1(L)CD57(H) phenotype exhibiting lower levels of cell death.
246 19564339 The majority of HIV-specific CD8(+) T cells were found to express a PD-1(H)CD57(L) or PD-1(H)CD57(H) phenotype.
247 19564339 No correlation was found between PD-1 expression and ex vivo polyfunctionality of either HIV- or CMV-specific CD8(+) T cells.
248 19564339 Contrary to CD57, high expression of PD-1 was characterized by translocation of PD-1 into the area of CD95/Fas-capping, an early necessary step of CD95/Fas-induced apoptosis.
249 19564339 Thus, our data further support the role of PD-1 as a preapoptotic factor for CD8(+) T cells in HIV infection.
250 19782714 Because of the central role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in tumor immunology, we analyzed the frequency and suppressive activity of CD25(+)FoxP3(+) Tregs in 16 patients treated with abagovomab.
251 19782714 During vaccination, mean frequencies of peripheral Treg with a CD4(+)CD25(+)FoxP3(+) CD127(-) phenotype were enhanced but returned to baseline levels in the follow-up phase.
252 19782714 Interestingly, CA-125-specific T-cell activation could not be further improved by Treg depletion in vitro, as CA-125 induced a suppressive CD4(+)CD25(+)FoxP3(+) CD127(-) T cell subset derived from the originally Treg-depleted T-cell fraction.

256 19797070 The distribution of tetramer-positive p60(217-225)-specific effector and memory CD8 T cells was analyzed by costaining of lymphocytes with CD62L and CD127.
257 19797070 In contrast to the single oral application of recombinant Salmonella or single immunization with CpG and p60, in the spleens from mice immunized with a combination of both vaccine types a significantly higher level of p60-specific CD8 T cells with a predominance of the effector memory T-cell subset was detected.
258 20096608 CD25, the high-affinity interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor alpha chain, is rapidly upregulated by antigen-specific CD8(+) T cells after T cell receptor stimulation.
259 20096608 At this time when there is distinct heterogeneity in CD25 expression, examination of the in vivo fate of effector cells revealed that CD25(lo) cells, which are relatively less sensitive to IL-2, preferentially upregulate CD127 and CD62L and give rise to functional long-lived memory cells.
260 20096608 In contrast, CD25(hi) cells perceiving prolonged IL-2 signals proliferate more rapidly, are prone to apoptosis, exhibit a more pronounced effector phenotype, and appear to be terminally differentiated.
261 20174562 Tetramer analysis further showed that up to 16.8% of all circulating CD3(+)CD8(+) T cells were specific for the single HLA-B*3501-restricted epitope Gn(465-473) years after the acute infection.
262 20174562 Remarkably, Gn(465-473)-specific cells readily secreted IFN-gamma, granzyme B and TNF-alpha but not IL-2 upon stimulation and showed a 'revertant' CD45RA(+)CD27(-)CD28(-)CCR7(-)CD127(-) effector memory phenotype, thereby resembling a phenotype seen in other latent virus infections.
263 20213733 To elucidate the potential role of T cells in sequential flavivirus infection, we characterized cross-reactive CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell responses between attenuated and pathogenic Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) and pathogenic West Nile virus (WNV).
264 20213733 However, there was a virus-dependent, peptide variant-independent pattern of cytokine secretion; the IFNgamma+-to-IFNgamma+TNFalpha+ CD8+ T-cell ratio was greater in JEV- than in WNV-infected mice.
265 20213733 Patterns of killer cell lectin-like receptor G1 (KLRG1) and CD127 expression differed by virus type, with a rapid expansion and contraction of short-lived effector cells in JEV infection and persistence of high levels of short-lived effector cells in WNV infection.
266 20368442 Monitoring of NY-ESO-1 specific CD4+ T cells using molecularly defined MHC class II/His-tag-peptide tetramers.
267 20368442 Using molecularly defined DR52b/NY-ESO-1 tetramers, we could demonstrate that in DR52b(+) cancer patients immunized with a recombinant NY-ESO-1 vaccine, vaccine-induced tetramer-positive cells represent ex vivo in average 1:5,000 circulating CD4(+) T cells, include central and transitional memory polyfunctional populations, and do not include CD4(+)CD25(+)CD127(-) regulatory T cells.
268 20554330 Memory CD4+CD127high T cells from patients with multiple sclerosis produce IL-17 in response to myelin antigens.
269 20554330 Here, we analyzed the reactivity of peripheral naive and memory conventional CD4(+)CD127(high) T cells (Tconv) of MS patients and healthy controls (HC) towards myelin basic protein (MBP), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) and tetanus toxoid (TT).
270 20554330 Proliferative responses of Tconv cells towards MBP, MOG and TT were not significantly different between MS patients and HC.
271 20554330 However, MBP and MOG but not TT reactive memory Tconv cells from MS patients, in contrast to HC, produced IL-17.
272 20839259 We, therefore, evaluated the accumulation of regulatory T cells (Tregs, defined as, CD4(+)FoxP3(+)CD25(high)CD127(low)-cells) in blood, ascites, metastases and primary tumours of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and we explored the effect of neoadjuvant treatment with sorafenib 400 mg bid on intratumoural Tregs in 11 patients with RCC in comparison to 15 nontreated RCC patients.
273 20976449 Trends were also observed in analyzing effector:Treg (CD4(+)CD25(+)CD127(-)FoxP3(+)CTLA4(+)) ratio post- versus pre-vaccination with OS versus HPS.
274 21132428 Co-staining with CD62L and CD127 revealed that the frequencies of p60(217-225)-specific effector and effector memory CD8 T cells in blood and in fibrosarcoma tissue were related to the kinetics of tumor regression.
275 21257961 The AdIiNS3 vaccination induced polyfunctional CD8(+) T cells characterized by coproduction of IFN-γ, TNF-α and IL-2, and this cell phenotype is associated with good viral control.
276 21257961 The memory CD8(+) T cells also expressed high levels of CD27 and CD127, which are markers of long-term survival and maintenance of T cell memory.
277 21305005 To address these hypotheses, we measured frequencies of activated (CD38+ HLA-DR+), regulatory (CD4+CD25+CD127(dim)), HIV-specific, and CMV-specific T cells among HIV controllers and 3 control populations: HIV-infected individuals with treatment-mediated viral suppression (ART-suppressed), untreated HIV-infected "non-controllers" with high levels of viremia, and HIV-uninfected individuals.
278 21305005 Supporting the propensity for an unusually low Treg response to viral infection in HIV controllers, we observed unusually high CMV-specific CD4+ T cell frequencies and a strong correlation between HIV-specific CD4+ T cell responses and generalized CD8+ T cell activation levels in HIV controllers (P ≤ 0.001).
279 21677672 Increased (6 exon) interleukin-7 production after M. tuberculosis infection and soluble interleukin-7 receptor expression in lung tissue.
280 21677672 Interleukin-7 (IL-7) and the IL-7 receptor (IL-7R) have been shown to be alternatively spliced in infectious diseases.
281 21677672 We tested IL-7 and IL-7R splicing in a tuberculosis (TB)-vaccine/Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)-challenge model in non-human primates (NHPs).
282 21677672 We demonstrated increased IL-7 (6 exon) and IL-17 protein production in lung tissue along with concomitant decreased transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) from NHPs (vaccinated with a recombinant BCG (rBCG)) who showed increased survival after Mtb challenge.
283 21677672 IL-7 increased IL-17 and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) gene and protein expression in PBMCs.
284 21677672 Increased (6 exon) interleukin-7 production after M. tuberculosis infection and soluble interleukin-7 receptor expression in lung tissue.
285 21677672 Interleukin-7 (IL-7) and the IL-7 receptor (IL-7R) have been shown to be alternatively spliced in infectious diseases.
286 21677672 We tested IL-7 and IL-7R splicing in a tuberculosis (TB)-vaccine/Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)-challenge model in non-human primates (NHPs).

288 21677672 IL-7 increased IL-17 and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) gene and protein expression in PBMCs.
289 21677672 Increased (6 exon) interleukin-7 production after M. tuberculosis infection and soluble interleukin-7 receptor expression in lung tissue.
290 21677672 Interleukin-7 (IL-7) and the IL-7 receptor (IL-7R) have been shown to be alternatively spliced in infectious diseases.
291 21677672 We tested IL-7 and IL-7R splicing in a tuberculosis (TB)-vaccine/Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)-challenge model in non-human primates (NHPs).
292 21677672 We demonstrated increased IL-7 (6 exon) and IL-17 protein production in lung tissue along with concomitant decreased transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) from NHPs (vaccinated with a recombinant BCG (rBCG)) who showed increased survival after Mtb challenge.
293 21677672 IL-7 increased IL-17 and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) gene and protein expression in PBMCs.
294 21715686 By classifying CD8(+) T cells into effector, effector memory (T(EM)), and central memory subsets using CD62L and CD127 markers, we found striking differences in T cell memory generation.
295 21987662 Simultaneously, a dynamic differentiation process occurs, resulting in the formation of short-lived effector cells (SLECs; CD127(low)KLRG1(high)) and memory precursor effector cells (CD127(high)KLRG1(low)) from an early effector cell that is CD127(low)KLRG1(low) in phenotype.
296 21987662 Population dynamics were dramatically different during secondary CD8(+) T cell responses, with a much greater accumulation of SLECs and the appearance of a significant number of CD127(high)KLRG1(high) memory cells, both of which were intrinsic to the memory CD8(+) T cell.
297 21987662 Simultaneously, a dynamic differentiation process occurs, resulting in the formation of short-lived effector cells (SLECs; CD127(low)KLRG1(high)) and memory precursor effector cells (CD127(high)KLRG1(low)) from an early effector cell that is CD127(low)KLRG1(low) in phenotype.
298 21987662 Population dynamics were dramatically different during secondary CD8(+) T cell responses, with a much greater accumulation of SLECs and the appearance of a significant number of CD127(high)KLRG1(high) memory cells, both of which were intrinsic to the memory CD8(+) T cell.
299 22038848 Monocyte-depleted peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC-M) were stained for CD4(+) CD25(hi) CD127(low) FoxP3(+) cell (Treg cell) and T lymphocyte activation.
300 22038848 The median proportion of CD4(+) T lymphocytes that expressed the activation markers HLA-DR and CD38 was highest for CD4(+) T lymphocytes from persons with previous extrapulmonary tuberculosis (0.79%) compared to subjects with pulmonary tuberculosis (0.44%), latent M. tuberculosis infection (0.14%), or no M. tuberculosis infection (0.32%) (P = 0.005).
301 22649090 Reciprocally, treatment of macaques with interleukin-2 and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor before infection led to depletion of T(H)17 cells, reduction of the ratio between T(H)17 cells and CD3(+)CD4(+)CD25(+)CD127(low) regulatory T cells, and higher viral loads for 6 months after infection.
302 22735807 We have previously shown that vaccination with the natural tumor peptide Melan-A-induced T cells with superior effector functions as compared with vaccination with the analog peptide optimized for enhanced HLA-A*0201 binding.
303 22735807 Here we found that natural peptide vaccination induced tumor-reactive CD8 T cells with frequent coexpression of both memory/homing-associated genes (CD27, IL7R, EOMES, CXCR3, and CCR5) and effector-related genes (IFNG, KLRD1, PRF1, and GZMB), comparable with protective Epstein-Barr virus-specific and cytomegalovirus-specific T cells.
304 22894960 The CD3(+), CD127(+), CD4(+)CD25(+) and CD4(+)Foxp3(+) cells were increased significantly post vaccination.
305 22894960 The plasma level of the transforming growth factor (TGF-β), but not interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IFN-γ, TNF-α, was also found to increase significantly after vaccination.
306 23175378 However, based on a multidimensional analysis of CD45RO, CD27, CCR7, CD127, CD57, and PD-1 expression, we found that individuals living in regions with intense and perennial (holoendemic) malaria transmission harbored more differentiated EBV-specific CD8(+) T-cell populations that contained fewer central memory cells than individuals living in regions with little or no (hypoendemic) malaria.
307 23233854 On the basis of phenotypic and functional characteristics, we have demonstrated that liver CD8 T cells form two subsets: CD44(hi)CD62L(lo)KLRG-1(+)CD107(+)CD127(-)CD122(lo)CD8 T effector/effector memory (T(E/EM)) cells that are the dominant IFN-γ producers and CD44(hi)CD62L(hi)KLRG-1(-)CD107(-)CD127(+)CD122(hi)CD8 T central memory (T(CM)) cells.
308 23233854 Finally, we present a hypothesis consistent with a model whereby intrahepatic CD8 T(CM) cells, that are maintained in part by LS-Ag depot and by IL-15-mediated survival and homeostatic proliferation, form a reservoir of cells ready for conscription to CD8 T(E/EM) cells needed to prevent re-infections.
309 23357382 CD8 T cells also upregulate CD11a, CD11b, and CD11c upon activation.
310 23357382 To determine the function of individual β2 integrins, we examined CD8 T cell responses to Listeria monocytogenes infection in CD11a-, CD11b-, and CD11c-deficient mice.
311 23357382 The absence of CD11b or CD11c had no effect on the generation of antigen-specific CD8 T cells.
312 23357382 Moreover, the response in CD11a(-/-) mice exhibited reduced differentiation of short-lived effector cells (KLRG1(hi) CD127(lo)), although cytokine and granzyme B production levels were unaffected.
313 23390298 Selection of rAd vector or dose could modulate the proportion and/or frequency of IFN-γ(+)TNF-α(+)IL-2(+) and KLRG1(+)CD127(-)CD8(+) T cells, but strikingly ∼30-80% of memory CD8(+) T cells coexpressed CD127 and KLRG1.
314 23676462 PD-L1 blockade synergizes with IL-2 therapy in reinvigorating exhausted T cells.
315 23676462 To address this issue, we examined the effect of IL-2 and PD-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) blockade in the mouse model of chronic lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection.
316 23676462 We found that low-dose IL-2 administration alone enhanced CD8+ T cell responses in chronically infected mice.
317 23676462 IL-2 treatment also decreased inhibitory receptor levels on virus-specific CD8+ T cells and increased expression of CD127 and CD44, resulting in a phenotype resembling that of memory T cells.
318 23676462 However, combining IL-2 treatment with blockade of the PD-1 inhibitory pathway had striking synergistic effects in enhancing virus-specific CD8+ T cell responses and decreasing viral load.
319 23676462 These results suggest that combined IL-2 therapy and PD-L1 blockade merits consideration as a regimen for treating human chronic infections and cancer.
320 23748671 Flow-sorted CD3(+)CD4(+)CD25(+)CD127(low) Tregs were stimulated with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 coated beads and cultured in the presence of IL-2.
321 23748671 The expanded Tregs expressed high levels of FOXP3, CTLA4 and HELIOS compared to conventional T cells and were shown to be highly suppressive.
322 23980113 Here, we have further characterized vaccine-induced changes in the CD8(+) T cell phenotype and demonstrated significant upregulation of CD11c on CD3(+) CD8b(+) T cells in the liver, spleen, and peripheral blood.
323 23980113 CD11c(+) CD8(+) T cells are predominantly CD11a(hi) CD44(hi) CD62L(-), indicative of antigen-experienced effector cells.
324 23980113 Following in vitro restimulation with malaria-infected hepatocytes, CD11c(+) CD8(+) T cells expressed inflammatory cytokines and cytotoxicity markers, including IFN-γ, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-2 (IL-2), perforin, and CD107a.
325 23980113 CD11c(-) CD8(+) T cells, on the other hand, expressed negligible amounts of all inflammatory cytokines and cytotoxicity markers tested, indicating that CD11c marks multifunctional effector CD8(+) T cells.
326 23980113 Coculture of CD11c(+), but not CD11c(-), CD8(+) T cells with sporozoite-infected primary hepatocytes significantly inhibited liver-stage parasite development.
327 23980113 Tetramer staining for the immunodominant circumsporozoite protein (CSP)-specific CD8(+) T cell epitope demonstrated that approximately two-thirds of CSP-specific cells expressed CD11c at the peak of the CD11c(+) CD8(+) T cell response, but CD11c expression was lost as the CD8(+) T cells entered the memory phase.
328 23980113 Further analyses showed that CD11c(+) CD8(+) T cells are primarily KLRG1(+) CD127(-) terminal effectors, whereas all KLRG1(-) CD127(+) memory precursor effector cells are CD11c(-) CD8(+) T cells.
329 24027334 Reduced contraction was associated with an increased fraction of CD8 T cells expressing the interleukin-7 receptor (IL-7R) at the peak of the response, resulting in enhanced numbers of memory/memory precursor cells in IFN-γ(-/-) and IFN-γR(-/-) compared to wild-type (WT) mice.
330 24027334 Blockade of IL-7 within the lungs of IFN-γ(-/-) mice restored the contraction of influenza virus-specific CD8 T cells, indicating that IL-7R is important for survival and is not simply a consequence of the lack of IFN-γ signaling.
331 24027334 Reduced contraction was associated with an increased fraction of CD8 T cells expressing the interleukin-7 receptor (IL-7R) at the peak of the response, resulting in enhanced numbers of memory/memory precursor cells in IFN-γ(-/-) and IFN-γR(-/-) compared to wild-type (WT) mice.
332 24027334 Blockade of IL-7 within the lungs of IFN-γ(-/-) mice restored the contraction of influenza virus-specific CD8 T cells, indicating that IL-7R is important for survival and is not simply a consequence of the lack of IFN-γ signaling.
333 24126533 In contrast to the functional exhaustion of T cells observed after chronic infection, M. tuberculosis-specific CD8(+) T cells differentiated into either effector (CD127(lo) CD62L(lo)) or effector memory (CD127(hi) CD62L(lo)) cells, but not central memory cells (CD127(hi) CD62L(hi)), with low programmed death 1 (PD-1) expression, even in the presence of high levels of bacteria.
334 24126533 Additionally, M. tuberculosis-specific CD8(+) and CD4(+) T cells produced substantial levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and gamma interferon (IFN-γ), but not interleukin 2 (IL-2), upon in vitro restimulation.
335 24126533 Among M. tuberculosis-specific CD8(+) T cells, CD127(hi) effector memory cells displayed slower ongoing turnover but greater survival potential.
336 24126533 However, the effector function of M. tuberculosis-specific CD8(+) CD127(hi) effector memory T cells was inferior to that of canonical CD8(+) CD127(hi) memory T cells generated after acute lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection.
337 24126533 In contrast to the functional exhaustion of T cells observed after chronic infection, M. tuberculosis-specific CD8(+) T cells differentiated into either effector (CD127(lo) CD62L(lo)) or effector memory (CD127(hi) CD62L(lo)) cells, but not central memory cells (CD127(hi) CD62L(hi)), with low programmed death 1 (PD-1) expression, even in the presence of high levels of bacteria.
338 24126533 Additionally, M. tuberculosis-specific CD8(+) and CD4(+) T cells produced substantial levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and gamma interferon (IFN-γ), but not interleukin 2 (IL-2), upon in vitro restimulation.
339 24126533 Among M. tuberculosis-specific CD8(+) T cells, CD127(hi) effector memory cells displayed slower ongoing turnover but greater survival potential.
340 24126533 However, the effector function of M. tuberculosis-specific CD8(+) CD127(hi) effector memory T cells was inferior to that of canonical CD8(+) CD127(hi) memory T cells generated after acute lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection.
341 24126533 In contrast to the functional exhaustion of T cells observed after chronic infection, M. tuberculosis-specific CD8(+) T cells differentiated into either effector (CD127(lo) CD62L(lo)) or effector memory (CD127(hi) CD62L(lo)) cells, but not central memory cells (CD127(hi) CD62L(hi)), with low programmed death 1 (PD-1) expression, even in the presence of high levels of bacteria.
342 24126533 Additionally, M. tuberculosis-specific CD8(+) and CD4(+) T cells produced substantial levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and gamma interferon (IFN-γ), but not interleukin 2 (IL-2), upon in vitro restimulation.
343 24126533 Among M. tuberculosis-specific CD8(+) T cells, CD127(hi) effector memory cells displayed slower ongoing turnover but greater survival potential.
344 24126533 However, the effector function of M. tuberculosis-specific CD8(+) CD127(hi) effector memory T cells was inferior to that of canonical CD8(+) CD127(hi) memory T cells generated after acute lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection.
345 24535711 In this study, we characterized a population of human differentiated effector CD4(+) T cells that is defined by low levels of the interleukin (IL)-2 and IL-7 receptors (CD25(-)CD127(-)).
346 24535711 Notably, these CD25(-)CD127(-)CD4 T cells expressed effector markers such as CD244 and CD11b with low levels of CD27, contrasting with the memory phenotype dominating this population in healthy individuals.
347 24535711 These cells did not cycle in patients, nor did they secrete IL-10 or IL-17, but instead displayed cytotoxic features.
348 24535711 During neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer, we found that the increase in CD25(-)CD127(-) CD4(+) T cells correlated with tumor regression.
349 24535711 In this study, we characterized a population of human differentiated effector CD4(+) T cells that is defined by low levels of the interleukin (IL)-2 and IL-7 receptors (CD25(-)CD127(-)).

357 24577508 Type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) are key players in antimicrobial defense in intestinal mucosa, through interleukin 17 and interleukin 22 (IL-22) production.
358 24577508 We first observed that lung mucosa harbors a discrete population of ILC3 expressing CD127, CD90, CCR6, and the transcriptional factor RORγt.
359 24577508 In addition, lung ILC3 were identified as a major source of IL-22 in response to interleukin 23 stimulation.
360 24577508 During Streptococcus pneumoniae infection, ILC3 rapidly accumulated in the lung tissue to produce IL-22.
361 24577508 In response to S. pneumoniae, dendritic cells and MyD88, an important adaptor of innate immunity, play critical functions in IL-22 production by ILC3.
362 24577508 Finally, administration of the Toll-like receptor 5 agonist flagellin during S. pneumoniae challenge exacerbated IL-22 production by ILC3, a process that protects against lethal infection.
363 24740417 In patients with TB disease, CFP-10/ESAT-6-specific IFN-γ+ CD8 T cells had an activated, pro-apoptotic phenotype, with lower Bcl-2 and CD127 expression, and higher Ki67, CD57, and CD95 expression, than in LTBI.
364 24740417 Successful treatment of disease resulted in changes of these markers, but not in restoration of CFP-10/ESAT-6-specific CD8 or CD4 memory T cell proliferative capacity.
365 24740417 By contrast, LTBI is associated with preservation of long-lived CFP-10/ESAT-6-specific memory CD8 T cells that maintain high Bcl-2 expression and which may readily proliferate.
366 24778441 Longitudinal requirement for CD4+ T cell help for adenovirus vector-elicited CD8+ T cell responses.
367 24778441 Our data demonstrate that induction and maintenance of CD8(+) T cell responses by Ad vector immunization is longitudinally dependent on CD4(+) T cell help for a prolonged period.
368 24778441 Depletion of CD4(+) T cells in wild type mice within the first 8 d following Ad immunization resulted in dramatically reduced induction of Ag-specific CD8(+) T cells, decreased T-bet and eomesodermin expression, impaired KLRG1(+) effector differentiation, and atypical expression of the memory markers CD127, CD27, and CD62L.
369 24778441 Depletion of CD4(+) T cells between weeks 1 and 4 following immunization resulted in increased contraction of memory CD8(+) T cells.
370 24778441 These data demonstrate a prolonged temporal requirement for CD4(+) T cell help for vaccine-elicited CD8(+) T cell responses in mice.
371 24778441 These findings have important implications in the design of vaccines aimed at eliciting CD8(+) T cell responses and may provide insight into the impaired immunogenicity of vaccines in the context of AIDS and other CD4(+) T cell immune deficiencies.
372 25043277 Based on our results, we suggest four correlates of cellular protection for the assessment of protective rickettsial antigens: (1) production of IFN-γ by antigen-experienced CD3(+)CD8(+)CD44(high) cells, (2) production of Granzyme B by CD27(low)CD43(low) antigen-experienced CD8(+) T cells, (3) generation of memory-type CD8(+) T cells [Memory Precursor Effector Cells (MPECs), as well as CD127(high)CD43(low), and CD27(high)CD43(low) CD8(+) T cells], and (4) generation of effector-like memory CD8(+) T cells (CD27(low)CD43(low)).
373 25046553 Vaccine-associated varicella and rubella infections in severe combined immunodeficiency with isolated CD4 lymphocytopenia and mutations in IL7R detected by tandem whole exome sequencing and chromosomal microarray.
374 25046553 Immunological evaluations demonstrated neutropenia, isolated CD4 lymphocytopenia, the presence of CD8(+) T cells, poor lymphocyte proliferation, hypergammaglobulinaemia and poor specific antibody production to VZV infection and routine immunizations.
375 25130296 Importantly, CD4 Tregs express greatly reduced levels of IL-7R compared to conventional CD4 T cells, presenting an opportunity to selectively target the latter cells with either more IL-7 to boost responses, or to block IL-7 signalling to limit responses.
376 25130296 This article reviews what is known about regulation of IL-7R expression, and recent progress in therapeutic approaches related to IL-7 and its receptor.

379 25195511 Transgenic 4-1BBL-engineered vaccine stimulates potent Gag-specific therapeutic and long-term immunity via increased priming of CD44(+)CD62L(high) IL-7R(+) CTLs with up- and downregulation of anti- and pro-apoptosis genes.
380 25195511 OVA-Texo/4-1BBL-stimulated CTLs, which have a CD44(+)CD62L(high) IL-7R(+) phenotype, are likely memory CTL precursors, demonstrating prolonged survival and enhanced differentiation into memory CTLs with functional recall responses and long-term immunity against BL6-10OVA melanoma.
381 25195511 In addition, we demonstrate that OVA-Texo/4-1BBL-stimulated CTLs up- and downregulate the expression of anti-apoptosis (Bcl2l10, Naip1, Nol3, Pak7 and Tnfrsf11b) and pro-apoptosis (Casp12, Trp63 and Trp73) genes, respectively, by RT(2) Profiler PCR array analysis.

384 25195511 In addition, we demonstrate that OVA-Texo/4-1BBL-stimulated CTLs up- and downregulate the expression of anti-apoptosis (Bcl2l10, Naip1, Nol3, Pak7 and Tnfrsf11b) and pro-apoptosis (Casp12, Trp63 and Trp73) genes, respectively, by RT(2) Profiler PCR array analysis.
385 25911759 The earliest observed Teff subsets (CD127(-)CD62L(hi)CD27(+)) are less divided than CD62L(lo) Teff and express memory genes.
386 25911759 Intermediate (CD62L(lo)CD27(+)) effector subsets include the most multicytokine-producing T cells, whereas fully activated (CD62L(lo)CD27(-)) late effector cells have a terminal Teff phenotype (PD-1(+), Fas(hi), AnnexinV(+)).
387 26362266 HIV-specific CD8(+) T cells secreted little interferon-γ, underwent rapid apoptosis, and failed to upregulate the interleukin-7 receptor, known to be important for T cell survival.
388 26397973 Thirty days after immunization, the percentages of effector memory T (TEM) cells (CD4+ and CD8+/CD44high/CD62Llow) and memory CD8+ T cells (CD8+/CD44high/CD62Llow/CD127+) were measured with flow cytometry.
389 26397973 Interferon γ, interleukin 12 (IL-12), and IL-10 mRNAs were also quantified in whole spleen cells and purified B cells (CD43-) with real-time qPCR.
390 26397973 Our data suggest that a B-cell subpopulation expressing IL-10 downregulated proinflammatory cytokine expression in the spleen, increasing the survival of CD4+ TEM cells and CD8+ TEM/CD127+ cells.
391 26397973 Thirty days after immunization, the percentages of effector memory T (TEM) cells (CD4+ and CD8+/CD44high/CD62Llow) and memory CD8+ T cells (CD8+/CD44high/CD62Llow/CD127+) were measured with flow cytometry.
392 26397973 Interferon γ, interleukin 12 (IL-12), and IL-10 mRNAs were also quantified in whole spleen cells and purified B cells (CD43-) with real-time qPCR.
393 26397973 Our data suggest that a B-cell subpopulation expressing IL-10 downregulated proinflammatory cytokine expression in the spleen, increasing the survival of CD4+ TEM cells and CD8+ TEM/CD127+ cells.
