Unreferenced auto yes date December 2009 Unreferenced date May 2010 MHC restricted antigen recognition , or MHC restriction , refers to the fact that a given T cell will recognize a peptide antigen only when it is bound to a particular Major histocompatibility complex MHC molecule. Normally, as T cells are stimulated only in the presence of self MHC molecules, antigen is recognized only as peptides bound to self MHC molecules. MHC restriction is particularly important when primary lymphocytes are developing and differentiating in the thymus or bone marrow . It is at this stage that T cells die by apoptosis if they express high affinity for self antigens presented by an MHC molecule or express too low affinity for self MHC. This is ensured through two distinct developmental stages positive selection and negative selection. Developing T cells in the primary lymphoid organs thymus first express neither CD4, CD8 or TcR T cell receptor . This is referred to as double negative selection. After differentiation, the T cell expresses both CD4 , CD8 and T cell receptor TcR . This is referred to as double positive selection. It is at this stage that select T cells undergo apoptosis if they are found to select for self antigen. This is a necessary step as it prevents T cells from cascading an autoimmunity autoimmune response against its host tissues. Ultimately, the T cells differentiate and mature to express either CD4 and TcR or CD8 and TcR. At this point the T cells leave the primary lymphoid organ and enter the blood stream. Conversly, it is thought that MHC Restriction plays a pivotal role in the antiretroviral therapy used to treat HIV AIDS as it can increase the CD4 cell count thus increasing the likelihood for an immune response to be prompted.

An adaptive immune system adaptive immune response is specific to the antigen that stimulated it called the immunogen .

Contact with a complex antigen such as a virus will stimulate multiple Immune system immune responses to the virus different macromolecules as well as the individual epitopes of each macromolecule. For example, the tetanus toxin is a single protein macromolecular antigen but will stimulate many immune responses due to the Protein tertiary structure tertiary structure of the protein yielding many different epitopes. Medicinal uses for this idea include immunization to bacterial infection s. The toxin that creates the immune response will have an epitope on it that stimulates the response.

Christopher Edward Rudd , PhD, DSc., FRCPath, FMedSci born November 2, 1953 is a Canadian born immunologist biochemist credited with having had a major impact on the understanding of the intracellular signal s that control T cell immunity. Rudd was the first to discover that intracellular protein kinases interact with surface receptor s. He showed that the T cell co receptors CD4 also the receptor for the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV 1 and CD8 on T cells interact with protein tyrosine kinase p56lck. His discovery provided a role for members of the proto oncogene pp60src kinase family in normal cell signalling. There are numerous receptors that now known to use intracellular kinases in the regulation of cell growth. The CD4 and CD8 p56lck complexes are also widely accepted as the initiators of T cell activation. They are activated and control T cell responses to foreign pathogens, transplants and cancer. Born in Toronto , Canada, he was educated at Jesuit run Brebeuf College School . He received his PhD and DSc from University College, London and has held faculty positions at Harvard Medical School and Imperial College London . He is the past recipient of awards from the Cancer Research Institute New York and was a Scholar of the Leukemia Society of America. Rudd is presently a Principal Research Fellow with the Wellcome Trust London, and a Professor of Molecular Immunology at the University of Cambridge .

CD25 is the alpha chain of the IL 2 receptor ref Brooks MMG 451 lecture Michigan State University ref . It is a type I transmembrane protein present on activated T cells , activated B cells , some thymocytes, myeloid precursors, and oligodendrocytes that associates with CD122 to form a heterodimer that can act as a high affinity receptor for IL 2. CD25 is expressed in most B cell neoplasms, some acute nonlymphocytic leukemias, neuroblastomas, and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes. Its soluble form, called sIL 2R may be elevated in these diseases and is occasionally used to track disease progression. Grauer et al. demonstrated a time dependent accumulation of CD4 FoxP3 Tregs in brain tumors with a syngeneic murine glioma GL261 model. They observed that the expression of CD25, CTLA 4, GITR, and CXCR4 on intratumoral CD4 FoxP3 Treg during tumor growth is upregulated in a time dependent manner. They also demonstrate that treatment with anti CD25 MAbs significantly provokes a CD4 and CD8 T cell dependent destruction of glioma cells. Moreover, combining Treg depletion with administration of blocking CTLA 4 mAbs further boosted glioma specific CD4 and CD8 effector T cells, as well as antiglioma IgG2a antibody titers, resulting in complete tumor eradication. This study illustrated that intratumoral accumulation and activation of CD4 FoxP3 Tregs act as a dominant immune escape mechanism for gliomas and underline the importance of controlling tumor infiltrating Tregs in glioma immunotherapy.
