Im Gegensatz zu MHC-Klasse-I-Tetrameren, die Verwendung von MHC-Klasse-II-Tetramere für Routine-Anwendungen weiterhin eine Herausforderung sein, vor allem um die Vorläuferfrequenzen niedriger Affinität autoreaktiven CD4-T-Zellen, was zum Teil auf ihre Aktivierung Abhängigkeit 6,15-17 aufzuzählen. Kürzlich wurde dieses Problem durch die nächste Generation von Tetrameren, genannt umgangen &quot;dextramers&quot; uns erlaubt, Antigen-spezifische CD4 + T-Zellen für eine Vielzahl von Autoantigenen, wie PLP ...

Die Verwendung von Haupthistokompatibilitätskomplex (MHC)-Klasse II Tetramere zum Nachweis von Antigen-spezifischen CD4 + T-Zellen war eine Herausforderung 1-7. Um die Nachweisempfindlichkeit von MHC-Klasse II Tetramere zu steigern, hat das Forschungsteam der nächsten Generation Tetramere, bezeichnet &quot;dextramers&quot; 8 erstellt. Dextramers enthalten Dextran-Backbones, in denen mehrere Streptavidin-Fluorophoreinheiten konjugiert sind, so dass mehrere Peptid-gebundenen, biotinylierten MHC-Monomere kann auf eine Dextranmolekül 9 befestigt werden. Somit können große Aggregate von MHC dextramers die mehrere MHC-Peptid-Komplexe enthalten, mit mehreren T-Zell-Rezeptoren (TCRs) interagieren. Diese Gruppe zuletzt erzeugten dextramers für verschiedene Autoantigene und gezeigt, dass die Erfassungsempfindlichkeit der dextramers war ungefähr fünfmal mehr als 8 Tetramere. Die experimentellen Systemen gehören experimentellen autoimmunen Enzephalomyelitis (EAE) mit Proteolipid-Protein (PLP) 139-151 in SJL-Mäusen induziert; EAE mit Myelin-Oligodendrozyten-Glykoprotein (MOG) 35-55 in C57BL / 6 Mäusen; und experimentellen autoimmunen Myokarditis (EAM) mit Herz Myosin-α (Myhc) 334-352 in A / J-Mäusen induziert. Diese Studie demonstriert die Verwendung von PLP 139-151 - 334-352 und Myhc dextramers um Antigen-spezifische CD4 + T-Zellen erkennen, in situ mit Spezifität durch die Entwicklung eines direkten Färbungsprotokoll, wodurch die Notwendigkeit, um die Signale unter Verwendung von Fluorophor-Antikörper verstärken eliminiert, eine Ansatz häufig mit der Verwendung von Tetrameren eingesetzt. Zusätzlich wurde ein umfassendes Verfahren zur Bewertung Gewebe auch entwickelt worden, um zuverlässig Aufzählung der Frequenzen von Antigen-spezifischen CD4 + T-Zellen in situ 10. Nachweis von Antigen-spezifischen T-Zellen in situ ermöglicht Abgrenzung von Ereignissen durch spezifische antigene Stimuli von den durch Bystander-Aktivierung verursacht. Ebenso ist die in situ-Technik auch provides Möglichkeiten, die Kinetik der Antigen-spezifischen T-Zell-Infiltration in den Zielorganen zu verfolgen.

in situ detection of autoreactive cd4 t cells in brain and heart using major histocompatibility complex class ii dextramers

This report demonstrates the use of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II dextramers for detection of autoreactive CD4 T cells in situ in myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) 139-151-induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in SJL mice and cardiac myosin heavy chain-&#945; (Myhc) 334-352-induced experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) in A/J mice. Two sets of cocktails of dextramer reagents were used, where dextramers+ cells were analyzed by laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM): EAE, IAs/PLP 139-151 dextramers (specific)/anti-CD4 and IAs/Theiler&#8217;s murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) 70-86 dextramers (control)/anti-CD4; and EAM, IAk/Myhc 334-352 dextramers/anti-CD4 and IAk/bovine ribonuclease (RNase) 43-56 dextramers (control)/anti-CD4. LSCM analysis of brain sections obtained from EAE mice showed the presence of cells positive for CD4 and PLP 139-151 dextramers, but not TMEV 70-86 dextramers suggesting that the staining obtained with PLP 139-151 dextramers was specific. Likewise, heart sections prepared from EAM mice also revealed the presence of Myhc 334-352, but not RNase 43-56-dextramer+ cells as expected. Further, a comprehensive method has also been devised to quantitatively analyze the frequencies of antigen-specific CD4 T cells in the &#8216;Z&#8217; serial images.

In diesem Bericht, in-situ-Detektion von Antigen-spezifischen, autoreaktive CD4-T-Zellen durch direkte Färbung mit MHC-Klasse-II dextramers beschrieben. Frisch geschnittene Hirnschnitte wurden von EAE-Mäusen gewonnen und mit Cocktails enthalten PLP 139-151 (spezifischen) oder TMEV 70-86 (Kontrolle) dextramers und anti-CD4 gefärbt. Die Top-Platten in Abbildung 1 zeigt LSCM Analyse von Hirnschnitten mit PLP 139-151 dextramers (rot) und CD4-Antikörper (grün), wobei die Doppel-positiven Zellen...
