Memory CD4(+)CD127(high) T cells from patients with multiple sclerosis produce IL-17 in response to myelin antigens

Description : Myelin-reactive T helper-17 cells are implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Here, we analyzed the reactivity of peripheral naive and memory conventional CD4(+)CD127(high) T cells (Tconv) of MS patients and healthy controls (HC) towards myelin basic protein (MBP), myelin oligoden...

Natural naive regulatory T cell development and function are disturbed in multiple sclerosis patients

Description : Background: Myelin-reactive T cells may play a pathogenic role in multiple sclerosis (MS). We and others have shown that regulatory CD4+CD25+FOXP3+CD127low T cells (Tregs) are functionally disturbed in relapsing-remitting (RR) MS patients but not in secondary progressive (SP) MS patients. Objective:...

Haplotype 4 of the multiple sclerosis-associated interleukin-7 receptor alpha gene influences the frequency of recent thymic emigrants.

Description : The receptor for the homeostatic T cell cytokine interleukin-7 (IL-7Ralpha) has recently shown genetic association to multiple sclerosis (MS). To investigate the functional contribution of IL-7Ralpha polymorphisms to the pathogenesis of MS, we correlated the IL-7Ralpha haplotypes with different T ce...

Reduced number of blood circulating foxp3+CD25highCD4+regulatory T cells and a decreased foxp3 expression at the single-cell level in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis

Description : CD4+CD25high regulatory T cells (Tregs) of patients with relapsing-remitting (RR), but not secondary-progressive (SP) multiple sclerosis (MS), show a reduced suppressive function and FoxP3 mRNA expression. In this study we analyzed FoxP3 protein expression by means of flow cytometry in PBMC of 55 RR...

A CFSE based assay for measuring CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cell mediated suppression of auto-antigen specific and polyclonal T cell responses

Description : CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) are considered to play a key role as suppressors of immune inediated reactions. The analysis of Treg function in patients with autoimmune, allergic or oncogenic diseases has emerged over the past years. In the present study we describe a CFSE based protocol t...

Natural naive CD4(+)CD25(+)CD127(low) regulatory T cell (Treg) development and function are disturbed in multiple sclerosis patients: Recovery of memory treg homeostasis during disease progression

Description : Patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RR-MS) show a suboptimal CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cell (Treg) function, whereas no Treg alterations are observed in secondary progressive MS (SP-MS) patients. To clarify the difference in Treg activity between early and chronic disease stages i...
