Identification of a putative second T-cell receptor

MB Brenner, J McLean, DP Dialynas, JL Strominger… - Nature, 1986 - nature.com
Abstract Framework monoclonal antibodies have identified a population of human
lymphocytes that express the T3 glycoprotein but not the T-cell receptor (TCR) α- and β-subunits. …

Adhesion between epithelial cells and T lymphocytes mediated by E-cadherin and the αEβ7 integrin

…, GJ Russell, JS Morrow, DL Rimm, MB Brenner - Nature, 1994 - nature.com
IN contrast to sessile cell types, lymphocytes migrate through the vasculature to become
diffusely distributed in tissues or organized in lymphoid structures. A complex array of adhesion …

Natural and synthetic non-peptide antigens recognized by human γδ T cells

Y Tanaka, CT Morita, Y Tanaka, E Nieves, MB Brenner… - Nature, 1995 - nature.com
T LYMPHOCYTES express either αβ or γδ T-cell receptor heterodimers 1,2 . Most αβ T cells
recognize antigenic peptides bound to major histocompatibility complex molecules but the …

CD1: antigen presentation and T cell function

M Brigl, MB Brenner - Annu. Rev. Immunol., 2004 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract This review summarizes the major features of CD1 genes and proteins, the patterns
of intracellular trafficking of CD1 molecules, and how they sample different intracellular …

Recognition of a lipid antigen by CD1-restricted αβ+ T cells

…, CT Morita, SM Behar, ST Furlong, MB Brenner - Nature, 1994 - nature.com
MAJOR histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and class II molecules bind immunogenic
peptides and present them to lymphocytes bearing the αβ T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) 1–4 . …

Mast cells: a cellular link between autoantibodies and inflammatory arthritis

…, MF Gurish, C Benoist, D Mathis, MB Brenner - Science, 2002 - science.org
Previous studies have revealed that autoantibodies, complement components, and Fc receptors
each participate in the pathogenesis of erosive arthritis in K/BxN mice. However, it is not …

Defining inflammatory cell states in rheumatoid arthritis joint synovial tissues by integrating single-cell transcriptomics and mass cytometry

…, VP Bykerk, LT Donlin, JH Anolik, MB Brenner… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
To define the cell populations that drive joint inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), we
applied single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), mass cytometry, bulk RNA sequencing (…

Invariant natural killer T cells: an innate activation scheme linked to diverse effector functions

PJ Brennan, M Brigl, MB Brenner - Nature Reviews Immunology, 2013 - nature.com
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells exist in a 'poised effector' state, which enables them to
rapidly produce cytokines following activation. Using a nearly monospecific T cell receptor, …

Functionally distinct subsets of CD1d-restricted natural killer T cells revealed by CD1d tetramer staining

…, S Miyake, T Yamamura, MB Brenner - The Journal of …, 2002 - rupress.org
CD1d-restricted natural killer (NK)T cells are known to potently secrete T helper (Th)1 and
Th2 cytokines and to mediate cytolysis, but it is unclear how these contrasting functional …

Analysis of T cell antigen receptor (TCR) expression by human peripheral blood CD4-8-alpha/beta T cells demonstrates preferential use of several V beta genes and …

S Porcelli, CE Yockey, MB Brenner… - The Journal of …, 1993 - rupress.org
CD4-CD8- (double negative [DN]) alpha/beta T cells are a largely uncharacterized
subpopulation of unknown function. To investigate whether these cells are selected to recognize …
