The Tec family tyrosine kinases Itk and Rlk regulate the development of conventional CD8+ T cells (2006)

Atherly, Luana O., Lucas, Julie A., Felices, Martin, Yin, Catherine C., Reiner, Steven L., Berg, Leslie J.

The Tec family tyrosine kinases, Itk and Rlk, are expressed in thymocytes and peripheral T cells and regulate thresholds of T cell receptor signaling. Yet little is known about the specific role of...

Polarized Helper-T-Cell Responses against Leishmania major in the Absence of B Cells

Brown, Daniel R., Reiner, Steven L.

B-cell-to-T-cell signaling can shape helper T (Th) cell responses. During infection with Leishmania major, Th response is critical in determining the outcome of disease. Resistance depends on the...

Genetic Control of Experimental Lyme Arthritis in the Absence of Specific Immunity

Brown, Charles R., Reiner, Steven L.

Host genetics play an important role in determining resistance or susceptibility to experimental Lyme arthritis. While specific immunity appears to regulate disease resolution, innate immunity...

Clearance of Borrelia burgdorferi May Not Be Required for Resistance to Experimental Lyme Arthritis

Brown, Charles R., Reiner, Steven L.

Infection of inbred mouse strains with Borrelia burgdorferi results in the development of experimental Lyme arthritis. The degree of arthritic pathology has been suggested to correlate with the level...

Activation of Natural Killer Cells in Arthritis-Susceptible but Not Arthritis-Resistant Mouse Strains following Borrelia burgdorferi Infection

Brown, Charles R., Reiner, Steven L.

Infection of susceptible mouse strains with Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme disease, results in the development of arthritis. Components of the innate immune system may be important mediators...

Experimental Lyme Arthritis in the Absence of Interleukin-4 or Gamma Interferon

Brown, Charles R., Reiner, Steven L.

Genetic resistance and susceptibility to experimental Lyme arthritis have been linked with the production of interleukin-4 (IL-4) or gamma interferon (IFN-γ), respectively. To determine the absolute...

Expression of the transcription factor cKrox in peripheral CD8 T cells reveals substantial postthymic plasticity in CD4-CD8 lineage differentiation

Jenkinson, S. Rhiannon, Intlekofer, Andrew M., Sun, Guangping, Feigenbaum, Lionel, Reiner, Steven L., Bosselut, Rémy

Most T cells belong to either of two lineages defined by the mutually exclusive expression of CD4 and CD8 coreceptors: CD4 T cells are major histocompatibility complex (MHC) II restricted and have...

Requirement for T-bet in the aberrant differentiation of unhelped memory CD8+ T cells

Intlekofer, Andrew M., Takemoto, Naofumi, Kao, Charlly, Banerjee, Arnob, Schambach, Felix, Northrop, John K., ...

Immunity to intracellular pathogens requires dynamic balance between terminal differentiation of short-lived, cytotoxic effector CD8+ T cells and self-renewal of central–memory CD8+ T cells. We now...

Induction of Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Antigen 4 (Ctla-4) Restricts Clonal Expansion of Helper T Cells

Doyle, Alden M., Mullen, Alan C., Villarino, Alejandro V., Hutchins, Anne S., High, Frances A., Lee, Hubert W., ...

Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen (CTLA)-4 plays an essential role in immunologic homeostasis. How this negative regulator of T cell activation executes its functions has remained controversial. We now...

T Helper Subset Differentiation in the Absence of Invariant Chain

Brown, Daniel R., Swier, Kevin, Moskowitz, Naomi H., Naujokas, Marisa F., Locksley, Richard M., Reiner, Steven L.

The outcome of murine infection with Leishmania major is regulated by major histocompatibility complex class II–restricted T helper cells. Invariant chain-deficient (Ii −/−) mice have impaired...

A Role for CD4 in Peripheral T Cell Differentiation

Brown, Daniel R., Moskowitz, Naomi H., Killeen, Nigel, Reiner, Steven L.

Naive CD4+ T helper cells (Th) differentiate into one of two well-defined cell types during immune responses. Mature Th1 and Th2 cells regulate the type of response as a consequence of the unique...
