Abstract:
:We describe a highly sensitive, non-radioactive assay for T cell activation, based on the rapid induction of class II MHC expression by constitutively negative bovine endothelial cells, when cultured in the presence of supernatants derived from activated bovine T cells. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this assay in detecting rBoIFNgamma and activation of immune CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell lines and clones in response to specific antigen and transfected COS-7 cells, respectively. We also demonstrate its utility in identifying purified pathogen fractions that activate immune CD4(+) T cell clones.

杂志文章abstract::In analyses of antigen-specific immune responses, it is essential to estimate the frequency of individual T cell clonotypes. This frequency has been estimated, however, only indirectly by the frequency of T cell receptor (TCR) mRNA. We have developed a method to determine T cell frequency directly by cell count using ...
