Cells which can suppress the immune response to an antigen (TS cells) appear to be essential for regulation of the immune system. But the characterization of the TS lineage has not been extensive and many are sceptical of studies using uncloned or hybrid T-cell lines. The nature of the antigen receptor on these cells is unclear. T cells of the helper or cytotoxic lineages appear to recognize their targets using the T-cell receptor (TCR) alpha beta-CD3 complex. TCR beta-gene rearrangements are also found in some murine and human suppressor cell lines but others have been shown not to rearrange or express the beta-chain or alpha-chain genes. We previously established TS clones derived from lepromatous leprosy patients which carry the CD8 antigen and recognize antigen in the context of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules in vitro. We here report the characterization of additional MHC-restricted TS clones which rearrange TCR beta genes, express messenger RNA for the alpha and beta chains of the TCR and express clonally unique CD3-associated TCR alpha beta structures on their cell surface but do not express the gamma chain of the gamma delta TCR on the cell surface. We conclude that antigen recognition by at least some human CD8+ suppressor cells is likely to be mediated by TCR alpha beta heterodimers. 相似文献

Inhibition of gastric acid secretion is the mainstay of the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease and peptic ulceration;
therapies to inhibit acid are among the best-selling drugs worldwide. Highly effective agents targeting the histamine H2 receptor
were first identified in the 1970s. These were followed by the development of irreversible inhibitors of the parietal cell
hydrogen-potassium ATPase (the proton pump inhibitors) that inhibit acid secretion much more effectively. Reviewed here are
the chemistry, biological targets and pharmacology of these drugs, with reference to their current and evolving clinical utilities.
Future directions in the development of acid inhibitory drugs include modifications of current agents and the emergence of
a novel class of agents, the acid pump antagonists.

Summary The ingestion of 2 different water loads (7.5 and 15 ml/kg) by healthy subjects stimulated the release of plasma motilin, gastrin, pancreatic polypeptide and VIP. Atropine was found to block the release of PP but not the other hormones.This work was made possible by generous grants by the Wellcome Trust and Medical Research Council. 相似文献

Summary Pure porcine VIP was infused systemically in 4 conscious dogs and systemically and intraportally in 6 anesthetized pigs. At 2.3 pmoles·kg–1·min–1 the MCR was 10.7±1.0 ml·kg–1·min–1 in dog and 7.6±1.5 (systemic) and 16.5±2.0 (portal) in pig. The t 1/2's were 1.0±0.12 and 1.0±0.05 respectively. These values agree with those observed in man. This very high single pass tissue clearance does not suggest a hormonal role for VIP. 相似文献

The majority of T cells bear the T-cell receptor (TCR) alpha beta complex which recognizes foreign antigen peptides only in the context of self major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. Such T cells function in a variety of effector roles and secrete cytokines that mediate the activation and differentiation of other cells in the immune system. Recently, a small subpopulation T cells was found to bear a distinct TCR composed of gamma and delta subunits. In man, TCR gamma delta+ cells are distributed as approximately 5 per cent of the CD3+ cells in all organized lymphoid organs as well as in the skin- and gut-associated lymphoid tissues. Although a limited number of germ-line genes encode the TCR gamma and delta subunits, extensive junctional variation particularly in the delta gene, results in unprecedented diversity for this receptor. The nature of the specificity and immunological functions of these T cells remains enigmatic. We report here that in contrast to the normal low frequency of gamma delta-bearing cells in lymphoid tissues, peripheral blood, or normal skin, the frequency is increased five to eightfold in particular granulomatous reactions of leprosy. TCR gamma delta+ lymphocyte lines from these leprosy skin lesions proliferate in vitro specifically to mycobacterial antigens. This reactivity to foreign antigens appears to require presentation in the context of self-molecules. Moreover, culture supernatants from activated gamma delta T lymphocytes induce adhesion and aggregation of bone-marrow monocytes in the presence of granulocyte monocyte-colony stimulating factor (CSF), suggesting that products of gamma delta-bearing T cells may play a role in the immune response, possibly by stimulating granuloma formation. 相似文献

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) is released into the portal circulation in large quantities by ischaemic bowel. In view of its known high concentration in the gut and potent vasoactive properties it may well be implicated in the pathogenesis of the serious haemodynamic changes produced by gut ischaemia. 相似文献
