Natural killer (NK) cells and CD8(+) T cells play a prominent role in the clearance of mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection. The role of NK cells in modulating the CD8(+) T-cell response to MCMV infection is still the subject of intensive research. For analyzing the impact of NK cells on mounting of a CD8(+) T-cell response and the contribution of these cells to virus control during the first days postinfection (p.i.), we used C57BL/6 mice in which NK cells are specifically activated through the Ly49H receptor engaged by the MCMV-encoded ligand m157. Our results indicate that the requirement for CD8(+) T cells in early MCMV control inversely correlates with the engagement of Ly49H. While depletion of CD8(+) T cells has only a minor effect on the early control of wild-type MCMV, CD8(+) T cells are essential in the control of Δm157 virus. The frequencies of virus epitope-specific CD8(+) T cells and their activation status were higher in mice infected with Δm157 virus. In addition, these mice showed elevated levels of alpha interferon (IFN-α) and several other proinflammatory cytokines as early as 1.5 days p.i. Although the numbers of conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) were reduced later during infection, particularly in Δm157-infected mice, they were not significantly affected at the peak of the cytokine response. Altogether, we concluded that increased antigen load, preservation of early cDCs' function, and higher levels of innate cytokines collectively account for an enhanced CD8(+) T-cell response in C57BL/6 mice infected with a virus unable to activate NK cells via the Ly49H-m157 interaction. 相似文献

Host responses to cytomegalovirus infection include initial early production of alpha and beta interferons, also called type I interferons, which are elicited directly by viral products via Toll-like receptors. New data indicate that, preceding these events, an earlier critical type I interferon elicited in primary infected stromal cells via the lymphotoxin beta receptor system and mediated by B cells is necessary to kick-start an efficient antiviral response. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to present the advantages of two polymeric cartridges (Oasis HLB from Waters and Abselut Nexus from Varian) for the solid-phase extraction of methadone enantiomers and its major metabolite, 2-ethylidene-1,5-dimethyl-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidine (EDDP) and of some benzodiazepines (diazepam, flunitrazepam, nitrazepam, oxazepam) in serum and urine in comparison with classical C18-bonded-silica cartridges or liquid extraction. After addition of serum or urine samples, these two cartridges were washed with a water-methanol mixture (95:5, v/v) and eluted with diethylether. After rapid evaporation, the residue was regenerated with mobile phase and injected either in a chiral column (Cyclobond I-2000 RSP) for methadone enantiomers and its metabolite or in a reversed-phase column (Symmetry Shield RP8) for benzodiazepines. The results showed that the chromatograms of blank serum and urine were cleaner than those obtained from classical solid-phase extraction or liquid extraction. The recoveries from these two polymeric cartridges were higher (95-102%) than those obtained by the two previous classical methods and the total time for extraction and solvent evaporation was also shorter (about 6-7 min). For methadone and benzodiazepine extraction, the use of acidic or alkaline buffer was not necessary. 相似文献

Objective: We investigated the effects of a diet containing EPAX‐7010, rich in PUFAs such as eicosapentaenoic acid [20:5(n‐3)] and docosahexaenoic acid [22:6(n‐3)], i.e., a PUFA/EPAX regimen, on T‐cell activation in diabetic pregnant rats and their obese pups. Research Methods and Procedures: Mild hyperglycemia in pregnant rats was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin on Day 5 of gestation. T‐cell blastogenesis was assayed by using 3H‐thymidine, whereas intracellular free calcium concentrations ([Ca2+]i) were measured by using Fura‐2 in diabetic pregnant rats and their obese offspring. Results: Concavalin‐A‐stimulated T‐cell proliferation was decreased in both pregnant diabetic rats and their obese pups as compared with control animals. Feeding the PUFA/EPAX diet restored T‐cell proliferation in both groups of animals. We also employed ionomycin, which at 50 nM opens calcium channels, and thapsigargin (TG), which recruits [Ca2+]i from endoplasmic reticulum pool. We observed that ionomycin‐induced increases in [Ca2+]i in T‐cells of diabetic mothers and obese offspring were greater than in those of control rats. Furthermore, feeding PUFA/EPAX diet diminished significantly the ionomycin‐evoked rise in [Ca2+]i in diabetic and obese animals. TG‐induced increases in [Ca2+]i in T‐cells of diabetic pregnant rats and their obese offspring were greater than in those of control rats. The feeding of the experimental diet significantly curtailed the TG‐evoked increases in [Ca2+]i in both diabetic and obese rats. Discussion: Together, these observations provide evidence that T‐cell activation and T‐cell calcium signaling are altered during gestational diabetes and macrosomia. Hence, dietary fish oils, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, may restore these T‐cell abnormalities. 相似文献
