Noncovalent drug presentation leads to the activation of drug-specific T cells. In some patients with hypersensitivity, such a response occurs within hours even upon the first exposure to the drug. Thus, the reaction to the drug might not be due to a classical, primary response, but rather mediated
Although the nature of the precursor cells seeding the thymus is still uncertain, their immediate progeny in the adult murine thymus have now been isolated. These lymphoid-restricted, prothymocyte-like cells express CD4, but neither CD4 nor CD8 seem to be involved in the early steps of T-cell develo
The molecular mechanisms underlying pre-B cell growth and immunoglobulin gene rearrangement have been actively investigated. Some growth factors for B-cell precursors as well as some genes activating V(D)J recombination have been identified. Furthermore, the molecular structure and signaling capacit
Evidence from tissue culture experiments and in vivo studies indicates that certain forms of antigen presentation render T cells unresponsive to subsequent antigenic stimulation. Great progress has been made recently in understanding the induction, maintenance, and in vivo relevance of this unrespon
