Download or read book T cell specificity and Cross reactivity Implications in Physiology and Pathology written by Samuele Notarbartolo and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-03-07 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional CD8+ and CD4+ T cells recognize antigens, presented by antigen-presenting cells in the form of short peptides loaded onto major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and class II molecules, through their T cell receptor (TCR). Somatic gene rearrangement of the TCR locus and randomization of TCR hyper-variable regions generate the marked diversity of TCRs. Once assembled, the heterodimeric TCR confers specificity to naïve T cells. The naïve T cell repertoire of an individual is established by selection processes in the thymus and cannot be broadened upon antigen recognition by additional somatic mutations. In humans, the estimated number of distinct TCRs in the naïve T cell pool is several orders of magnitude lower than the possible array of peptides that can be generated and accommodated into an MHC molecule. This challenge can be overcome by T cell cross-reactivity, that is the ability of a single TCR to bind multiple peptide-MHC complexes. T-cell cross-reactivity can have both positive and negative consequences. First, it allows for covering a wide range of foreign peptides with a limited repertoire of T cells. Second, it facilitates polyclonal immune responses to a single peptide and increases resistance to escape mutations. Third, it can induce heterologous immunity, that is the generation of memory to a pathogen different from the one against which the immune response has been originally raised. On the contrary, a negative consequence of T-cell cross-reactivity is the possibility of self-antigen recognition, potentially causing autoimmunity. The lower activation threshold of memory T-cells compared to naïve T-cells increases this risk, partially eluding the thymic negative selection checkpoint. Moreover, heterologous immunity can be detrimental when the type of memory T-cell polarization induced by the first pathogen is inappropriate to control the second pathogen.

Download or read book Live Forever or Die Trying written by Thomas J. Mooney and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-04-05 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Initially, I had intended to write this book in the summer of 2006. At that time, my involvement in the Life Extension Movement was growing, my enthusiasm was palpable; trusted friends and colleagues urged me to undertake the project, noting that it would give momentum to a nascent movement that was a mere blip on the political radar screen and bring needed attention to an issue that many thought might never be discussed seriously in a society that considers death an unpleasant but inevitable reality. Even though I agreed with this analysis, I managed to avoid any serious attempt to start a far-reaching debate on the political, social, and economic consequences of radically extending one’s life into the future. After all, I thought, the technology in this field is still at a nascent stage, antiaging research receives few government grants, controversy abounds in the scientific community as to the mere possibility of indefinite life extension; most elected officials are clueless about it and even a majority of the President’s Council on Bioethics is hostile to the idea. But that being said, I never was one to back down from a good fight. I had read much of the scientific work undertaken by a multitude of scientists determined to understand how and why human beings slowly age, and how we can reverse our demise and extend our lives indefinitely. I disagreed with the naysayers who pompously declare that prolonging life will ruin the environment, cause overpopulation, promote wars over scarce resources, as well as those narrow-minded, quasi—pundits who embraced a number of bogus charges and half-truths intended to impede further research into the causes of the terminal disease of aging. I had more than enough evidence to confront the critics, but for some unknown reason, I lost the internal primal spark necessary to fight back. I thought, should I enter a battle that few know about and even fewer care? Instead of hearing a clarion call to act, I became mired in skepticism, doubt and a growing resignation toward terminal apathy. ...
