Indukcja zapalenia jelit przez adoptywny transfer transgenicznych limfocytów T CD4 + CBir1 TCR do myszy z niedoborem odporności

Overview

This protocol describes a gut microbiota antigen-specific T cell adoptive transfer colitis model. CD4 + T cells from CBir1 TCR transgenic mice are transferred into Rag1 -/- mice, inducing intestinal inflammation.

Key Study Components

Area of Science

• Neuroscience
• Immunology
• Gastroenterology

Background

• Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) poses significant health challenges.
• This model aids in understanding IBD mechanisms.
• It evaluates potential treatments for IBD.
• Insights into T-cell responses to gut bacteria are provided.

Purpose of Study

• To develop a model for studying IBD.
• To explore T-cell responses to gut microbiota antigens.
• To assess therapeutic interventions for IBD.

Methods Used

• Isolation of CD4 + T cells from transgenic mice.
• Adoptive transfer of T cells into recipient mice.
• Induction of intestinal inflammation.
• Surgical procedures for tissue analysis.

Main Results

• Successful induction of colitis in recipient mice.
• Characterization of T-cell responses to microbiota antigens.
• Insights into the role of gut bacteria in IBD.
• Potential for evaluating therapeutic strategies.

Conclusions

• The model provides a platform for IBD research.
• It enhances understanding of immune responses to gut antigens.
• Future studies can leverage this model for treatment evaluation.
