Description:
To examine the role of T cell receptor (TCR) in gammadelta T cells in adaptive immunity, a macaque model was used to follow Vgamma2Vdelta2+ T cell responses to mycobacterial infections. These phosphoantigen-specific gammadelta T cells displayed major expansion during Mycobacterium bovis Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) infection and a clear memory-type response after BCG reinfection. Primary and recall expansions of Vgamma2Vdelta2+ T cells were also seen during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection of naive and BCG-vaccinated macaques, respectively. This capacity to rapidly expand coincided with a clearance of BCG bacteremia and immunity to fatal tuberculosis in BCG-vaccinated macaques. Thus, Vgamma2Vdelta2+ T cells may contribute to adaptive immunity to mycobacterial infections.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2872146/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2872146/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shen, Yun -- Zhou, Dejiang -- Qiu, Liyou -- Lai, Xioamin -- Simon, Meredith -- Shen, Ling -- Kou, Zhongchen -- Wang, Qifan -- Jiang, Liming -- Estep, Jim -- Hunt, Robert -- Clagett, Michelle -- Sehgal, Prabhat K -- Li, Yunyaun -- Zeng, Xuejun -- Morita, Craig T -- Brenner, Michael B -- Letvin, Norman L -- Chen, Zheng W -- HL64560/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL064560/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL064560-04/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 RR013601/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- R01 RR013601-04/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- RR13601/RR/NCRR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Mar 22;295(5563):2255-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Tuberculosis Research Unit, Division of Viral Pathogenesis, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11910108" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
