immune system
• CD8+ T cell number in periphery, and in thymus, is reduced
|
• NK cells from mutants have altered specificity and are self-tolerant
|
• influenza virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activity is reduced in mutants
• mutants do not generate a CTL response to syngeneic antigens, indicating tolerance due to overlap of peptide repertoires; a reduced response against alloantigens is observed, but after in vivo priming is similar to wild-type
|
• CD8+ T cell responses to virus and protein antigen are reduced due to inability of dendritic cells to efficiently present antigen
• dendritic cells are unable to present ovalbumin via MHC class I molecules to an OVA-specific hybridoma
|
• dendritic cells are unable to present ovalbumin via MHC class I molecules to an OVA-specific hybridoma
• peptides exhibit less stable binding to MHC class I molecules, resulting in less stable class I molecules
|
• splenocytes exhibit ~90% reduction of MHC class I H-2Kb and H-2Db expression; similar results are found for lymph node cells and peripheral blood lymphocytes
