In this issue of Immunity, Van Braeckel-Budimmir et al. (2017) reveal that the pathogenic response of mice to a Plasmodium berghei infection is dominated by a Vβ8.1 T cell response. Mice lacking Vβ8.1 T cells fail to mount a pathogenic response, thus showing that the TCR locus can be an Immune response (Ir) gene.
在本期《免疫》中,Van Braeckel-Budimmir 等人(2017 年)揭示了小鼠对疟原虫伯氏疟原虫感染的致病反应主要由 Vβ8.1 T 细胞反应主导。缺乏 Vβ8.1 T 细胞的小鼠无法引发致病反应,因此表明 TCR 基因座可以成为免疫反应(Ir)基因。
