A novel method for detecting antigen-specific human regulatory T cells.

Abstract:

:Antigenic epitopes recognized by FoxP3(+) regulatory T cells (Treg) are poorly defined, largely due to a lack of assays for determining Treg specificity. We have developed a novel approach for detecting human Treg specific to peptide antigen, utilizing down-regulation of surface CD3 as a read-out of antigen recognition. Culture conditions and re-stimulation time have been optimized, allowing the detection of even very rare Treg, such as those specific to tumor antigens.

  • A simplified immunoenzyme antigen binding technique as an approach for immunodiagnosis.

    abstract::A simple immunoenzyme technique is described in which the enzyme beta-galactosidase of E. coli (Z) is used as a marker. The principle of the test is based on the ability of the cells to bind the antigen. Conditions of the assay using Z both as the antigen and marker are described. As a screening technique, conditions ...
