Antigen direction of specific T-cell clones into gingival tissues

Abstract

This study was performed to investigate T-cell traffic to periodontal tissues during infection with a periodontal pathogen Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (Aa). Rowett rat T-cell clones, A3 (CD4+ CD8-, alpha beta TCR+, NKRP-1-, specific to Aa) and G2 (CD4- CD8-, alpha beta TCR+, NKRP-1+, which reacts to Aa, Gram-negative and -positive bacteria), both expressed the same prominent adhesion molecules (LFA-1, VLA-4) to the same extent. Binding of both T-cell clones to rat endothelial cells in vitro was blocked by antibody to VLA-4. Rowett rats were infected with Aa and infused with Aa-stimulated, isogenic T-clone lymphocytes that had been labelled in vitro with 125IUdR. Radioactivity associated with recovery of clone A3, but not G2, was significantly elevated in the gingivae of infected rats, suggesting migration to infected animals' gingival tissues. Migration of radioactive Aa-specific A3 clone cells traced by autoradiography reached a maximum at 24 hr (1.2% of total lymphocytes as radiolabelled cells in infected gingiva versus 0.6% in noninfected), indicating an apparent antigen-directed retention in infected rats' gingival tissues. The G2 clone was not retained in the gingival tissues (0.20% of total lymphocytes as radiola...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Biophysics of Adhesion

Alterations in cell adhesion can disrupt important cellular processes and lead to a variety of diseases, including cancer and arthritis. It is also essential for infectious organisms, such as bacteria or viruses, to cause diseases. Understanding the biophysics of cell adhesion can help understand these diseases. Discover the latest research on the biophysics of adhesion here.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
