项目摘要
Chlamydia trachomatis is the most prevalent sexually transmitted bacterial infection. Devastating reproductive
consequences of chronic C. trachomatis disease and a predisposition to HIV infection make progress towards the
development of effective vaccination strategies imperative. However, limited information in several key areas has
severely hampered progress in this area. Animal models have shown that T cell responses are central to host
resistance but do not reproduce all the critical features of human disease. C. trachomatis is an obligate
intracellular pathogen that primarily infects columnar epithelial cells of the endocervix in women, yet little is
known either of the inductive or effector phases of local immunity in these tissues. Immune cells at mucosal sites
are phenotypically and functionally distinct from their counterparts in the circulation and it is increasingly clear
that the local milieu plays an important role in regulating local immunity. Nevertheless, almost all human studies
to date have focused, perhaps inappropriately, on C. trachomatis-specific immunity in the circulation, since great
difficulties have, to date, attended isolation of endocervical lymphoid ceils. Here, each of these issues will be
addressed. The primary focus of this application is to characterize T cell immune responses at the primary site of
C. trachomatis infection in the human endocervix with the underlying hypothesis that activity of these subpopulations,
rather than circulating T cells, most accurately reflects the critical host response against this
pathogen. Initially, the local immune milieu will be characterized using secretions and cytobrush cell specimens
from C. trachomatis-infected women both pre-and post-antibiotic treatment and from uninfected controls.
Comparisons with circulating T cell populations will clarify unique features of the mucosal T cell repertoire.
Next, the frequencies, cytokine expression profiles and lytic activities of endocervical and circulating C.
trachomatis-specific CD4 and CD8 T cells both will be more closely defined both directly ex vivo and in cloned
cell populations. Finally, in studies with our T cell clones, processing and presentation of C. trachomatis antigens
will be characterized, using immortalized endocervical columnar epithelial cells that are genetically or
biochemically manipulated for directed inhibition of specific intraceUular trafficking pathways. This study design
will clarify interactions between C. trachomatis and the cervical immune system that will ultimately aid greatly in
delineating protective immune responses against C. trachomatis and the development of effective vaccines.
沙眼衣原体是最常见的性传播细菌感染。毁灭性的生殖
慢性C的后果沙眼疾病和艾滋病毒感染的易感性,
制定有效的疫苗接种战略势在必行。然而,由于几个关键领域的信息有限,
严重阻碍了这方面的进展。动物模型表明,T细胞反应是宿主的核心,
耐药性,但不能复制人类疾病的所有关键特征。C.沙眼是一种专性
细胞内病原体,主要感染妇女宫颈内膜的柱状上皮细胞,但很少
已知这些组织中局部免疫的诱导或效应阶段。粘膜部位的免疫细胞

当地环境在调节当地免疫力方面发挥着重要作用。然而,几乎所有的人类研究
到目前为止,他们把注意力集中在C上,也许是不恰当的。循环中的沙眼特异性免疫,因为伟大的
迄今为止,颈内淋巴细胞的分离存在困难。在这里,这些问题中的每一个都将
处理。本申请的主要焦点是表征在免疫球蛋白的原发部位的T细胞免疫应答。
C.人子宫颈内膜中沙眼感染的潜在假设是这些亚群的活性,
而不是循环T细胞,最准确地反映了关键的宿主反应,
病原体最初,将使用分泌物和细胞刷细胞标本表征局部免疫环境
梭沙眼感染的妇女在抗生素治疗前后和未感染的对照组。
与循环T细胞群的比较将阐明粘膜T细胞库的独特特征。
其次,研究了宫颈内和循环中C.
沙眼特异性的CD4和CD8 T细胞都将被更精确地定义,无论是直接离体还是克隆,
细胞群最后,在我们的T细胞克隆的研究中,C.沙眼抗原
将使用永生化的宫颈内柱状上皮细胞进行表征,这些细胞在遗传上或
生物化学操作,用于定向抑制特定的细胞内运输途径。本研究设计
将阐明C.沙眼和宫颈免疫系统,这将最终大大有助于
描绘了针对C.沙眼和开发有效的疫苗。
