Dissecting the Role of 4-1BB and its Ligand in Enhancing CD8 Effector and Memory T Cell ResponsesLin, Gloria Hoi Ying 19 January 2012 (has links)
The Tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) family member 4-1BB and its TNF family ligand, 4-1BBL, are important in modulating multiple stages of the CD8 T cell response. Here I show that during a mild influenza infection, 4-1BBL is completely dispensable for initial T cell responses, viral clearance and mouse survival. In contrast, during severe influenza infection with prolonged viral load, 4-1BB expression is sustained on lung T cells and 4-1BBL is upregulated in the lung compared to mild influenza infection. Under these conditions, 4-1BBL-deficiency results in a decreased CD8 T cell response in the lungs, higher viral load, impaired lung function and increased mortality. These findings suggest that the sustained expression of 4-1BB and its ligand as a function of viral load fine-tunes the CD8 T cell response to a level appropriate for the severity of infection. 4-1BBL is also important for maintaining CD8 memory T cell survival following the clearance of an infection. I found that 4-1BB is selectively expressed on a subset of memory CD8 T cells in the bone marrow. I further showed that the TNFR family member GITR is intrinsically required on CD8 memory T cells for 4-1BB expression in vivo, and that 4-1BB on CD8 T cells interacting with 4-1BBL on a radio-resistant cell in the bone marrow contributes to CD8 memory T cell survival. Immunotherapy with 4-1BB agonists has shown efficacy in eradication of tumors in several mouse models. These effects have been attributed to 4-1BB on multiple cell types. I found that 4-1BB either on transferred T cells or on host T cells was necessary and sufficient for inducing regression of established tumors when anti-4-1BB is combined with adoptive T cell therapy. This thesis highlights the importance of the CD8 T cell intrinsic role of 4-1BB in the immune system.

Maintenance and re-activation of antigen-specific CD8+ and CD4+ memory T lymphocytes in the bone marrowSiracusa, Francesco 17 August 2018 (has links)
Das Knochenmark (BM) beherbergt wesentliche Komponenten des adaptiven Immunsystems, die einen langfristigen Schutz gegen wiederkehrende Pathogene vermitteln können, sodass es sich als Reservoir für ein immunologisches Gedächtnis qualifiziert. Neben langlebiger Antikörper-produzierender Plasmazellen bleiben auch Antigen (Ag)-spezifische CD8+ und CD4+ T-Gedächtniszellen dauerhaft im Knochenmark erhalten, auch wenn sie in den sekundären lymphoiden Organen (SLOs) und im Blut abwesend sind. Es wird angenommen, dass diese T-Gedächtniszellen bei erneutem Kontakt mit den gleichen systemischen Pathogenen schnell reagieren können. Allerdings sind die biologischen Mechanismen für ihre langfristige Aufrechterhaltung immer noch umstritten und demnach ungeklärt. Unklar ist auch, wie die T-Gedächtniszellen des Knochenmarks bei erneuter Konfrontation mit demselben Antigen reagieren. Hier wird dieser Frage begegnet, indem durch klassiche Immunisierung mit definieren Antigenen eine stabile Population Ag-spezifischer CD8+ und CD4+ T-Gedächtniszellen im Knochenmark erzeugt wird. / The bone marrow (BM) harbors critical components of the adaptive immune system being able to provide long-lasting protection against previously encountered pathogens, thus qualifying as a reservoir of immunological memory. In addition to long-lived antibody producing plasma cells, antigen (Ag)-specific CD8+ and CD4+ memory T lymphocytes are maintained long-term in the BM even when they are absent from secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and blood. Those memory T cells are thought to respond fast upon re-encounter of systemic pathogens. However, the biological mechanisms behind their long-term maintenance in the BM are still a matter of debate and thus remain unclear. Similarly, it is also unclear how the memory T cells of the BM react to antigenic re-challenge. Here we address these issues by generating a stable pool of Ag-specific CD8+ and CD4+ memory T lymphocytes in the BM by classical immunizations with defined antigens.
