ABSTRACT: Human Naïve-like CD8 T cells induced by the Yellow Fever Vaccine 17D were compared to the conventional subsets in total CD8 T cells Samples originate from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 8 different donors vaccinated with the YF-17D vaccine 1'000 cells from various CD8 T cells subsets were purified by flow cytometry, from 8 vaccinees (donors d1 to d8); the subsets (cell types) include: A2/NS4b tetramer positive CCR7+ CD45RA+ CD8 T cells (A2_NS4b Naïve-like), Total Naive (CCR7+ CD45RA+), Total Tscm (CCR7+ CD45RA+ CD58+ CD95+), Total CM (CCR7+ CD45RA-) and Total Effectors (CCR7 negative).

Project description:The aim was to assess miRNA expression in 3 human ex-vivo CD8+ T cell subsets which span from antigen inexperienced cells (Naïve) to early memory cells (central memory, Tcm) and later stage memory cells (effector memory, Tem) CD8+ T cells were sorted on a FACS Aria II machine. N = naïve = CD8+, CCR7+, CD45RA+, CD45RO-, Tcm = central memory = CD8+, CCR7+, CD45RA-, CD45RO-,Tem= effector memory = CD8+, CCR7-, CD45RA-, CD45RO+

Total RNA was purified using the miRVANA kit (Ambion)
Project description:Human CD8+ T cells are functionally heterogeneous and can be divided into distinct subsets according to CCR7 and CD45RA expression levels. Among the subsets, CCR7-CD45RA+ CD8+ T cells are considered to be terminally differentiated cells and designated as Temra. Temra show attenuated ability to proliferate and produce IFN-gamma in response to TCR stimulation, while Temra show improved function after IL-15 treatment. To clarify the transcriptional signatures induced by the stimulations, Temra were purified using flow cytometry, stimulated with IL-15 or with anti-CD3/CD28 (TCR stimulation), or cultured without stimulation for 2 days, and subjected to microarray analysis.
Project description:Buffy coats from four independent human donors were enriched for CD4+ cells using MACS CD4 beads and LS columns. Cells were subsequently sorted into Naïve, Central Memory and Effector Memory using following markers: Naive: CD4+CD25–CD45RA+CCR7+; Central Memory: CD4+CD25–CD45RA–CCR7+; Effector Memory: CD4+CD25-CD45RA-CCR7-. Total RNA from these cell subsets was extracted and 100ng was used for Nanostring SPRINT run according to manufacturer's instructions. Overall aim of the experiment is assessing the expression level of human T helper cell miRNome.
Project description:Different pathogens trigger naïve T cells to express distinct sets of effector proteins. To better understand the molecular mechanisms that drive this functional specification, we used high resolution, label-free mass spectrometry to measure proteomic differences between the seven largest circulating human CD8+ T cell subsets. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of the proteomes placed naïve and CD45RA-expressing effector-type T cells at the extremes of the spectrum with central-memory and other effector-memory stages located in between. Prominent differences between the subsets included expression of various granzymes, signaling proteins and molecules involved in metabolic regulation. Remarkably, whereas most of the proteomic changes between the subsets were gradual, a small proportion of proteins were regulated only in discrete subsets. The data obtained from this proteome analysis correspond best to a progressive differentiation model in which specific stable traits are gradually acquired during pathogen-specific development.
Project description:To examine the broad impact of IL-27 on human T lymphocytes, we performed a microarray analysis assessing >20,000 well annotated genes on purified naïve (CD45RA+CD45RO-CCR7+) and central memory (CD45RA-CD45RO+CCR7+) CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from three healthy donors that were activated in vitro (plate bound anti-CD3 and soluble anti-CD28) in the presence or absence of human recombinant IL-27 (100 ng/mL). Our goal was to investigate the impact of interleukin-27 on the gene expression profil of human CD4 and CD8 T lymphocytes.
Project description:Cells were isolated from healthy human donors (n=2). Unstimulated cells. Cells were stained with CD4, CD45RA, CCR7 and CXCR7. Using flow cytometry, 4 CD4+ T cell populations were sorted: (1) Naïve (CD45RA+CCR7+CXCR5-), (2) Central memory (CD45RA-CCR7+CXCR5-), (3) Effector memory (CD45RA-CCR7-CXCR5-) and (4) CXCR5+ cells (CD45RA-CCR7-CXCR5+) RNA were extracted from sorted cells and hybridized on Affymetix HU133Plus2 chips. Each population were repeated on different donors such that n=2.

Project description:CD8 T cells play an importart role in adaptive immunity to intracellular pathogens. Naïve CD8 T cells , that have not encountered antigen previously can be identified by virtue of their distinct phenotype. Upon antigenic encounter, they proliferate rapidly and undergo massive reprograming to differentiate to cytotoxic T lymphocytes. The yellow fever live virus vaccine (YF-17D) provides a model primary acute viral infection that can be used to follow this response.Here we characterize the resting, non-activated naive CD8 T cells in nine healthy adults and YF-specific CD8 T cells elicited in response to YF-17D vaccination from the same donors during the effector (2 weeks after vaccination) and memory (5-8 months later) stages.
