    Description: Cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTLs) kill intracellular pathogens by a granule-dependent mechanism. Granulysin, a protein found in granules of CTLs, reduced the viability of a broad spectrum of pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and parasites in vitro. Granulysin directly killed extracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis, altering the membrane integrity of the bacillus, and, in combination with perforin, decreased the viability of intracellular M. tuberculosis. The ability of CTLs to kill intracellular M. tuberculosis was dependent on the presence of granulysin in cytotoxic granules, defining a mechanism by which T cells directly contribute to immunity against intracellular pathogens.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Stenger, S -- Hanson, D A -- Teitelbaum, R -- Dewan, P -- Niazi, K R -- Froelich, C J -- Ganz, T -- Thoma-Uszynski, S -- Melian, A -- Bogdan, C -- Porcelli, S A -- Bloom, B R -- Krensky, A M -- Modlin, R L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1998 Oct 2;282(5386):121-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medicine, UCLA School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9756476" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In analyzing mechanisms of protection against intracellular infections, a series of human CD1-restricted T cell lines of two distinct phenotypes were derived. Both CD4(-)CD8(-) (double-negative) T cells and CD8(+) T cells efficiently lysed macrophages infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The cytotoxicity of CD4(-)CD8(-) T cells was mediated by Fas-FasL interaction and had no effect on the viability of the mycobacteria. The CD8(+) T cells lysed infected macrophages by a Fas-independent, granule-dependent mechanism that resulted in killing of bacteria. These data indicate that two phenotypically distinct subsets of human cytolytic T lymphocytes use different mechanisms to kill infected cells and contribute in different ways to host defense against intracellular infection.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Stenger, S -- Mazzaccaro, R J -- Uyemura, K -- Cho, S -- Barnes, P F -- Rosat, J P -- Sette, A -- Brenner, M B -- Porcelli, S A -- Bloom, B R -- Modlin, R L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1997 Jun 13;276(5319):1684-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of California Los Angeles School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9180075" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: It has long been the paradigm that T cells recognize peptide antigens presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. However, nonpeptide antigens can be presented to T cells by human CD1b molecules, which are not encoded by the MHC. A major class of microbial antigens associated with pathogenicity are lipoglycans. It is shown here that human CD1b presents the defined mycobacterial lipoglycan lipoarabinomannan (LAM) to alpha beta T cell receptor-bearing lymphocytes. Presentation of these lipoglycan antigens required internalization and endosomal acidification. The T cell recognition required mannosides with alpha(1--〉2) linkages and a phosphotidylinositol unit. T cells activated by LAM produced interferon gamma and were cytolytic. Thus, an important class of microbial molecules, the lipoglycans, is a part of the universe of foreign antigens recognized by human T cells.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sieling, P A -- Chatterjee, D -- Porcelli, S A -- Prigozy, T I -- Mazzaccaro, R J -- Soriano, T -- Bloom, B R -- Brenner, M B -- Kronenberg, M -- Brennan, P J -- AI 07118/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI 18357/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI 28973/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1995 Jul 14;269(5221):227-30.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Dermatology, University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Medicine 90095, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7542404" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
