T-cell Surface Glycoprotein CD4 Understanding
T-cell Surface Glycoprotein CD4: Overview
In molecular biology, CD4 (cluster of differentiation 4) is a glycoprotein found on the surface of immune cells such as T helper cells, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. It was discovered in the late 1970s and was originally known as leu-3 and T4 (after the OKT4 monoclonal antibody that reacted with it) before being named CD4 in 1984. In humans, the CD4 protein is encoded by the CD4 gene. CD4+ T helper cells are white blood cells that are an essential part of the human immune system. They are often referred to as CD4 cells, T-helper cells or T4 cells. They are called helper cells because one of their main roles is to send signals to other types of immune cells, including CD8 killer cells, which then destroy the infectious particle. If CD4 cells become depleted, for example in untreated HIV infection, or following immune suppression prior to a transplant, the body is left vulnerable to a wide range of infections that it would otherwise have been able to fight.Structure of T-cell Surface Glycoprotein CD4
Like many cell surface receptors/markers, CD4 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It has four immunoglobulin domains (D1 to D4) that are exposed on the extracellular surface of the cell:
- D1 and D3 resemble immunoglobulin variable (IgV) domains.
- D2 and D4 resemble immunoglobulin constant (IgC) domains.
Function
CD4 is a co-receptor of the T cell receptor (TCR) and assists the latter in communicating with antigen-presenting cells. The TCR complex and CD4 bind to distinct regions of the antigen-presenting MHC class II molecule. The extracellular D1 domain of CD4 binds to the ß2 region of MHC class II. The resulting close proximity between the TCR complex and CD4 allows the tyrosine kinase Lck bound to the cytoplasmic tail of CD4 to phosphorylate tyrosine residues of immunoreceptor tyrosine activation motifs (ITAMs) on the cytoplasmic domains of CD3 to amplify the signal generated by the TCR.
T-cell Surface Glycoprotein CD4 Emerging Drugs Chapters
This segment of the T-cell Surface Glycoprotein CD4 report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.T-cell Surface Glycoprotein CD4 Emerging Drugs
SAR441236: SanofiIn people with HIV, single infusions of b NAbs have demonstrated antiviral activity and can reduce plasma virus loads. However, virus variants that are resistant to the single bNAb emerge quickly and therefore limit the activity and therapeutic potential of bNAb monotherapy. SAR441236 is an engineered tri-specific bNAb produced by Sanofi that combines the CD4bs specificity of VRC01-LS, the V1/V2 glycan-directed binding of PGDM1400, and the gp41 MPER binding of 10E8v4-variant into one antibody molecule. This tri-specific bNAb neutralizes 204 of 208 (98%) viruses from a standard neutralization panel and provided 100% protection to non-human primates against intra-rectal challenge by a mixture of SHIVs, each resistant to one of the bNAb components. The first study of a broadly neutralizing antibody called SAR441236 in humans, will determine if an infusion is safe and tolerable and will measure the amount of SAR441236 in the blood over time. It will also evaluate whether SAR441236 can reduce the amount of HIV in a person’sblood.Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein transduced T cell therapy: Im CyseImcyse technology represents the next generation of therapeutic biologics. Modified peptides (Imotopes) specifically block the immune responses causing the immune-mediated diseases. Imcyse’ Imotopes TM combine target antigenic natural HLA-Class II peptidic epitopes with a specific thioredox motif (a few amino-acids in length). Injection of Imotopes elicits antigen-specific cytolytic CD4 T-cells that induce lysis of antigen-presenting cells (APC) with which a synapse is formed, as well as the autoantigen-specific bystander T-cells, activated on the surface of the same APC. Imcyse technology platform has therefore shown its capacity to specifically eliminate antigen-presenting cells and autoreactive target specific lymphocytes without affecting the other functions of the immunesystem.
