1. Caracterização fenotípica e funcional de linfócitos T de memória de indivíduos infectados pelo HIV reativos a epitopos T CD4+ derivados de sequências do consenso B do HIV-1 / Phenotypic and functional characterization of memory T lymphocytes from HIV infected individuals reactive to CD4-T epitopes derived from sequences of the HIV-1 B consensus
The persistence of functional memory T cell is important to ensure a protective immunity to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. Memory T cells have been subdivided into central memory (TCM), effector memory (TEM) and highly differentiated effector memory (TEMRA) based on the expression of surface molecules such as CCR7 and CD45RA, and the ability t

2. Análise da imunogenicidade de uma vacina de DNA codificando epitopos CD4 promíscuos e conservados do HIV-1 em camundongos BALB/c e transgênicos para moléculas de HLA classe II / Immunogenicity analysis of a DNA vaccine encoding promiscuous and conserved HIV-1 CD4 epitopes in BALB/c and HLA class II transgenic mice
Abordagens atuais no desenho de vacinas contra o HIV-1 estão focadas em imunógenos que codificam proteínas inteiras do HIV-1 e visam induzir respostas citotóxicas específicas. É concebível que vacinas bem-sucedidas devem induzir respostas contra múltiplos epitopos do HIV-1, coincidindo com seqüências das cepas circulantes do vírus, conhecido por s

3. Mapeamento de epÃtopos das proteÃnas estruturais VP1 e VP4 do vÃrus da hepatite A reconhecidos por cÃlulas T
Hepatitis A infection is found all over the world, and high prevalence is associated with poor socioeconomic conditions and diverse epidemiological patterns. The epitope mapping of hepatitis A virus (HAV) can to contribute with the development of a potentially safer vaccine against HAV and the identification of HLA binding molecules is important for both und

4. The hope for an HIV vaccine based on induction of CD8+ T lymphocytes: a review
The only long-term and cost-effective solution to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic in the developing world is a vaccine that prevents individuals from becoming infected or, once infected, from passing the virus on to others. There is currently little hope for an AIDS vaccine. Conventional attempts to induce protective antibody and CD8+ lymphoc

5. Study of the recognition of HIV-1 Gag and Nef epitopes by T lymphocytes in chronically infected HIV-1 Long-Term Non-Progressors / Estudo do reconhecimento de epitopos das proteínas Gag e Nef do HIV-1 por linfócitos T em indivíduos cronicamente infectados pelo HIV-1 não progressores por longo tempo
Os linfócitos T têm um papel central no controle da infecção pelo HIV-1. As respostas mediadas por esses linfócitos contra epitopos do HIV-1 restritos a moléculas HLA de classe I podem estar associadas à proteção natural em indivíduos LTNP. Relatos sugerem que determinados alelos HLA apresentamse mais representados entre os LTNP. Para avaliar esses

6. Células de doadores normais primadas in vitro respondem ao antígeno ovular solúvel e ao peptídeo sintético MAP4 derivado da triose fosfato isomerase do Schistosoma mansoni. / Cells of normal primed givers in vitro answer to the antigen to ovular soluble and synthetic peptíde MAP4 derived from triose-phosphate isomerase of the Schistosoma mansoni.
It has been well established that Schistosoma mansoni induces an initial CD4+ T-cell response. The early events in the immune response to schistosomiasis have been evaluated in mice but few studies have focused on the early response in humans, especially in regard to parasite antigens that are potential vaccine candidates. To study the early immune response

7. Protective Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Responses Induced by DNA Immunization against Immunodominant and Subdominant Epitopes of Listeria monocytogenes Are Noncompetitive
Taking advantage of the fact that plasmid DNA encoding a single cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) epitope can induce CTLs, we examined the influence of T-cell responses to dominant epitopes on those to a subdominant epitope derived from Listeria monocytogenes. Our data suggest that interaction between T cells against dominant and subdominant epitopes does not ope

8. Gag Protein Epitopes Recognized by CD4+ T-Helper Lymphocytes from Equine Infectious Anemia Virus-Infected Carrier Horses
Antigen-specific T-helper (Th) lymphocytes are critical for the development of antiviral humoral responses and the expansion of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Identification of relevant Th lymphocyte epitopes remains an important step in the development of an efficacious subunit peptide vaccine against equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV), a naturally occur

9. T-cell responses to highly conserved CD4 and CD8 epitopes on the outer membrane protein of bovine leukemia virus: relevance to vaccine development.
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a retrovirus that infects cattle and sheep and may provide a model for studying human leukemia. Cell-mediated immune mechanisms may play a major role in protection against BLV infection. We describe here for the first time the identification of proliferative (CD4) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CD8) epitopes of the gp51 envelope (

10. Human Memory Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte (CTL) Responses to Hantaan Virus Infection: Identification of Virus-Specific and Cross-Reactive CD8+ CTL Epitopes on Nucleocapsid Protein
Hantaan virus, the prototypic member of the Hantavirus genus, causes hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in humans. We examined the human memory T-lymphocyte responses of three donors who had previous laboratory-acquired infections with Hantaan virus. We demonstrated virus-specific responses in bulk cultures of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) fro

11. Simian virus 40 T antigen as a carrier for the expression of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte recognition epitopes.
Simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen can immortalize a wide variety of mammalian cells in culture. We have taken advantage of this property of T antigen to use it as a carrier for the expression of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) recognition epitopes. DNA sequences corresponding to an H-2Db-restricted SV40 T-antigen site I (amino acids 205 to 215) were transl

12. Identification of CD8 T-Lymphocyte Epitopes in OmpB of Rickettsia conorii
The 1.2-kb DNA fragment of the Rickettsia conorii outer membrane protein B gene (OmpB451-846) was subcloned using site-specific PCR primers and expressed as six smaller fragments: OmpB458-652, OmpB595-744, OmpB595-654, OmpB645-692, OmpB689-744, and OmpB739-848. NCTC cells transfected with a mammalian expression vector expressing the fragments OmpB689-744 and
