Microarray of RNA of TCR transgenic CD8 T cells to assess the role of protein glycosylation in the decision between deletion vs. anergy in immune tolerance
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Activation of peripheral T lymphocytes in the absence of pathogen induced inflammation or costimulatory signals results in tolerance. Two different tolerance mechanisms have been described, deletion and anergy. We recently demonstrated that an important variable which is responsible for the decision between anergy and deletion for CD8 T cells is the strength of signaling through the T cell receptor(Redmond and Sherman, Immunity 22:275,2005). However, it is not know what the downstream signals are that result in death(deletion) vs. survival(anergy)of the activated cells. Marth and co-workers have previously shown that CD8 T cell apoptosis under conditions similar to those that occur during tolerance in vivo may involve a change in protein glycosylation (Van Dyken et.al., Mol.Cell.Bio.27:1096,2007).In order to assess the role of protein glycosylation in the decision between deletion vs.anergy in immune tolerance, we have prepared purified TCR transgenic CD8 T cells stimulated in vivo using a strong antigenic signal (anergy conditions) or a weak antigenic signal (deletion conditions) with cognate antigen. We wish to assess transcriptional differences in genes involved in protein glycosylation in these 2 cell populations. The control population will be naive trangenic CD8 cells.
