Characteristics of antigen-independent and antigen-dependent interaction of dendritic cells with CD4+ T cells

European Journal of Immunology

Abstract

Dendritic cells (DC) are the main antigen-presenting cells for the initiation of primary T cell-mediated immune responses. In the first stage of activation, T cells bind to DC in an antigen-independent manner. We studied the adhesion characteristics of human CD4+ T cells to DC generated from CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors following 12 to 13 days of culture in the presence of granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. A majority of these cells had the morphology, phenotype and functions of DC. CD4+ T/DC adhesion was measured by means of fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. Four independent receptor/ligand pathways, LFA-1/ICAM, ICAM/LFA-1, CD2/LFA-3 and CD28/CD80, were involved in the transient adhesion of DC to CD4+ T cells in antigen-independent and specific alloantigen-dependent situations, as shown by blocking experiments using monoclonal antibodies. The antibodies also blocked a primary mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) in which DC were used as stimulatory cells. Adhesion of alloreactive CD4+ T cells to antigen-presenting DC was stronger than that of resting CD4+ T cells, while peak adhesion occurred after 5 and 20 min, respectively. The LFA-1 ligands involved in adhesion of resti...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.
