Abstract

Follicular regulatory T (T) cells, a subset of Foxp3 regulatory T cells (Tregs), play an essential role in the regulation of germinal center (GC) response and humoral self-tolerance. Although it is generally accepted that T cells suppress GC antibody responses mediated by follicular helper T (T) cells and B cells, the helper activity of T cells on GC responses has also been recently reported. Because of this, it is critical to develop specific assays that are able to precisely assess T cell function, particularly its in vivo activity, independent of differentiation and other Tregs. Here we describe an adoptive transfer approach in conjugation with flow cytometry and ELISA to evaluate the T cell function on T, B cells, and antibody response in vivo.

摘要

滤泡调节性 T (T) 细胞是 Foxp3 调节性 T 细胞 (Tregs) 的一个亚群,在调节生发中心 (GC) 反应和体液自身耐受中发挥着重要作用。尽管人们普遍认为 T 细胞抑制滤泡辅助 T (T) 细胞和 B 细胞介导的 GC 抗体反应,但最近也有报道称 T 细胞对 GC 反应具有辅助作用。因此,开发能够精确评估 T 细胞功能(尤其是其体内活性)的特异性检测方法至关重要,而无需考虑分化和其他 Tregs。在这里,我们描述了一种与流式细胞术和 ELISA 相结合的过继转移方法,用于评估 T 细胞在体内对 T 细胞、B 细胞和抗体反应的功能。
