Several monoclonal antibodies directed against a number of T cell surface molecules are used to elucidate the role of these molecules (cell surface molecules) in T cell activation. The activation of T cells via these molecules are both antigen-dependent (CD3/TcR complex) and antigen-independent. Irr

Cell death plays a critical role in the generation of an effective immune system. During maturation T lymphocytes are generated, censored and eliminated in the thymus. These events are temporally associated with developmental changes in the levels of transcription factors including NFAT. The NFAT tr
The nondepleting anti-CD4 mAb RIB5/2 is a powerful inducer of tolerance to MHCincompatible renal and heart allografts in rat recipients. In vitro the mAb blocks the proliferation and cytokine production of alloreactive T cells. To learn more about the mechanism of anti-CD4-mediated suppression, we a
Clonal deletion represents an important mechanism for the establishment of tolerance, by the elimination of autoreactive T cells. Deletion is accomplished by programmed cell death, termed apoptosis, induced by mobilization of the T cell receptor (TCR) on both thymocytes and mature T cells. The mecha
