Epithelial antigen presentation shapes barrier memory
Medicine
Antigen compartmentalization is known to influence CD4 and CD8 T cell recognition but its impact on immune responses to different antigens expressed by the same pathogen is poorly understood. By tracking the clonal CD4 T cell response to a single epitope shuttled between different virulence proteins of Citrobacter rode...
It is discovered that cytotoxic CD4+ T cells foster this process via the CCL5–CCR5 axis and it is found that the clinically approved CCR5 antagonist maraviroc can rebalance immunity in aged mice.
