28 11159003 Neutralization of RSV-CM with antibodies to interferon (IFN)-beta largely blocked TAP1/LMP2/LMP7 expression, whereas anti-interleukin-1 antibodies were without effect, and recombinant IFN-beta increased TAP1/LMP2/LMP7 expression to levels produced by RSV-CM.

40 11162627 Expression levels of LMP2, MECL-1, TAP1, and TAP2 transcripts are reduced in both cell lines in comparison with a normal epithelial cell line.
41 11162627 Further, HSC5 and HSC7 show diminished expression of LMP7/tapasin, and PA28alpha/beta, respectively.

49 14694109 Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma, a high-incidence tumor in southern China, expresses a limited set of EBV proteins, including the nuclear antigen EBNA1, an abundant source of HLA class II-restricted CD4(+) T-cell epitopes, and the latent membrane protein LMP2, a source of subdominant CD8(+) T-cell epitopes presented by HLA class I alleles common in the Chinese population.
50 14694109 We used appropriately modified gene sequences from a Chinese EBV strain to generate a modified vaccinia virus Ankara recombinant, MVA-EL, expressing the CD4 epitope-rich C-terminal domain of EBNA1 fused to full-length LMP2.
51 14694109 The endogenously expressed fusion protein EL is efficiently processed via the HLA class I pathway, and MVA-EL-infected dendritic cells selectively reactivate LMP2-specific CD8(+) memory T-cell responses from immune donors in vitro.
52 14694109 Given its immunogenicity to both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells, MVA-EL has potential as a therapeutic vaccine in the context of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

66 14991620 In vitro stimulation of immature murine DC with MALP-2 resulted in the induction of maturation with up-regulated expression of MHC class II, costimulatory (CD80, CD86) and adhesion (CD40, CD54) molecules.
67 14991620 MALP-2 also enhances the secretion of cytokines (IL-1alpha, IL-6 and IL-12), and increases DC stimulatory activity on naive and antigen-specific T cells.
68 14991620 Further studies demonstrated that MALP-2 treatment of DC results in a dose-dependent shift from the protein pattern of proteasomes to immunoproteasomes (up-regulation of LMP2, LMP7 and MECL1), which correlates with an increased proteolytic activity.
69 14997933 Immunizing transgenic PDAPP mice, which overexpress mutant APP and develop beta-amyloid deposition resembling plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD), results in a decrease of amyloid burden when compared with non-treated transgenic animals.
70 14997933 Neuropathological examination in that patient showed meningoencephalitis, and focal atypically low numbers of diffuse and neuritic plaques but not of vascular amyloid, nor regression of tau pathology in neurofibrillary tangles and neuropil threads.
71 14997933 The present neuropathological study reports the second case of meningoencephalitis following immunization with amyloid-beta peptide in AD, and has been directed toward exploring mechanisms underlying decreased tau pathology in relation with amyloid deposit regression, and possible molecular bases involved in the inflammatory response following immunization.
72 14997933 Inflammatory infiltrates were composed of CD8+, CD4+, CD3+, CD5+ and, rarely, CD7+ lymphocytes, whereas B lymphocytes and T cytotoxic cells CD16, CD57, TIA and graenzyme were negative.
73 14997933 Reduced amyloid burden was accompanied by low amyloid-associated oxidative stress responses (reduced superoxide dismutase-1: SOD-1 expression) and by local inhibition of the stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK) and p38 kinase which are involved in tau phosphorylation.
74 14997933 These results support the amyloid cascade of tau phosphorylation in AD regarding phosphorylation of tau dependent on beta-amyloid deposition in neuritic plaques, but not of tau in neurofibrillary tangles and threads.
75 14997933 Furthermore, amyloid reduction was accompanied by increased expression of the PA28a/beta inductor, and of LMP7, LMP2 and MECL1 subunits of the immunoproteasome in microglial and inflammatory cells surrounding collapsed plaques, and in multinucleated giant cells.
76 16002717 In this study we investigated the CD8(+) T cell responses to lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection and DNA immunization in wild-type mice and in mice lacking the immunoproteasome subunits LMP2 or LMP7.
77 16002717 DNA vaccination of LMP2- and LMP7-deficient mice induced CD8(+) T cell responses that were slightly lower than, although not significantly different from, those induced in wild-type mice.

80 16703666 Augmentation of epitope presentation by MHC I is thought to be effected by the immunoproteasome, induced in response to IFN-gamma (interferon-gamma) in some cells, and constitutively expressed in others.
81 16703666 The authors show that Tat deregulates the balance of the three proteins, LMP2 (low-molecular-mass polypeptide 2), LMP7 and MECL1 (multicatalytic endopeptidase complex-like 1), which distinguish the immunoproteasome from the proteasome, and they provide a molecular explanation.
82 16703666 Intracellular Tat sequesters IRF-1 (interferon-regulatory factor-1) from its cognate promoter element, where normally it associates with STAT1 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 1) to activate basal transcription of the LMP2 gene.

86 16842756 Our results showed that LMP2 gene transfer did not alter the typical morphology of mature DC, and the representative phenotypes of mature DC (CD80, CD83, and CD86) were highly expressed in rAd-LMP2-DCs.
87 16842756 In addition, phenotypic analysis demonstrated that the LMP2-specific CTLs consisted of both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells.
88 17198088 Stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells with LMP1- and LMP2-expressing actMo activated LMP1- and LMP2-specific T cells, which could be further expanded with LMP1 or LMP2 expressing lymphoblastoid cell lines.
89 17285277 Leukemic cells were stimulated (or not) with CD40L and IL-4.
90 17285277 Elements of the antigen-processing machinery (MB1, LMP2, LMP7, LMP10, TAP1, TAP2, calnexin, calreticulin, tapasin, ERp57, zeta, delta) were determined by real-time PCR technique.
91 17285277 The expression of important costimulatory and adhesion molecules considered as DC markers (CD40, CD54, CD80, CD83, CD86) were determined at the mRNA (PCR) and protein (flow cytometry) levels.
92 18321749 Here, to develop a vaccine strategy taking advantage of activated CD8(+)T cells, we constructed a DNA vaccine, designated pGFP-TSA1, encoding a fusion protein linking GFP to a single CTL epitope of TSA1, a leading candidate for vaccine against T. cruzi.
93 18321749 Vaccination with pGFP-TSA1 enhanced epitope-specific cytotoxicity and IFN-gamma secretion by CD8(+)T cells.
94 18321749 When mice deficient in the proteasome activator PA28alpha/beta or the immunoproteasome subunits LMP2 and LMP7 were used, the protective immunity against infection was profoundly attenuated.
95 18321749 Our findings clearly demonstrate that vaccination with pGFP-TSA1 successfully induces protection dependent on CD8(+)T cell activation, in which immunoproteasomes play a crucial role.
96 19723890 In this study, we explore the potential that a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) carrying a fusing gene containing heat shock protein as an adjuvant, EBV latent membrane proteins (LMP1 and LMP2) CTL epitope DNA as a vaccine prevents NPC.
97 19846527 In NPC, latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) and LMP2 offer the best opportunity for specific targeting since they are typically expressed and T-cell determinants in each of these proteins have been defined.
98 19846527 We have attempted to maximize the opportunity of incorporating every possible CD4 and CD8 determinant in a single formulation.
99 19846527 We have achieved this by generating a scrambled protein incorporating random overlapping peptide sets from EBNA1, LMP1, and LMP2, which was then inserted into a replication-deficient strain of adenovirus (adenovirus scrambled antigen vaccine [Ad-SAVINE]).
100 19846527 This report describes the construction of this Ad-SAVINE construct, its utility in generating LMP1 and LMP2 responses in healthy individuals as well as NPC patients, and its capacity to define new epitopes.

111 19846527 This formulation could have a role in NPC immunotherapy for all ethnic groups since it has the potential to activate all possible CD4 and CD8 responses within EBNA1 and LMPs.
112 20059980 We have developed a new effective strategy of genetic immunization by activating CD8(+) T cells through the ubiquitin-fusion degradation (UFD) pathway.
113 20059980 Depletion of CD8(+) T cells abolished protection against T. cruzi in mice immunized with pUB-ASP-2 while depletion of CD4(+) T cells did not influence the effective immunity.
114 20059980 Mice deficient in LMP2 or LMP7, subunits of immunoproteasomes, were not able to develop protective immunity induced.
115 20059980 These results suggest that ubiquitin-fused antigens expressed in antigen-presenting cells were effectively degraded via the UFD pathway, and subsequently activated CD8(+) T cells.
116 22282657 In earlier preclinical studies, a novel adenoviral vector-based vaccine termed AdE1-LMPpoly has been generated that encodes EBV nuclear antigen-1 (EBNA1) fused to multiple CD8(+) T-cell epitopes from the EBV latent membrane proteins, LMP1 and LMP2.
117 23808166 The level of transcription of LMP2, LMP7, MECL1 subunits didn't increase for one and two days after a single infection.
118 24728075 Hypomethylation of CpGs located in 6p21.3 in the R class associated with cis upregulation of genes enriched in immune response processes (TAP1, PSMB8, PSMB9, HLA-DQB1, HLA-DQB2, HLA-DMA, and HLA-DOA), increased CD8 T-cell tumor infiltration (P=7.6×10(-5)), and trans-regulation of genes in immune-related pathways (P=1.6×10(-32)).
119 25909814 Furthermore, upregulation of 10 genes, Zbp1, Mx2, Irf7, Lgals9, Ifi47, Tapbp, Timp1, Trafd1, Psmb9, and Tap2, was seen upon virosomal-adjuvanted vaccine treatment, indicating that these biomarkers could be useful for the safety control of virosomal-adjuvanted vaccines.
120 26428379 Humoral immune responses against EBV-encoded tumour antigens LMP1, LMP2 and BARF1 are addressed, which provide novel options for targeted immunotherapy.
