Image of CD4 co-receptor binding to MHC (Major Histocompatibility Complex) non-polymorphic region. In molecular biology, CD4 (cluster of differentiation 4) is a glycoprotein that serves as a co-receptor for the T-cell receptor (TCR). CD4 is found on the surface of immune cells such as helper T cells, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells.
The CD nomenclature was proposed and established in the 1st International Workshop and Conference on Human Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens (HLDA), held in Paris in 1982. [4] [5] This system was intended for the classification of the many monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) generated by different laboratories around the world against epitopes on the surface molecules of leukocytes (white blood cells).
CD4 immunoadhesin was first developed in the mid-1990s as a potential therapeutic agent and treatment for HIV/AIDS. The protein is a fusion of the extracellular domain of the CD4 receptor and the Fc domain of human immunoglobulin G (IgG), the most abundant antibody isotype in the human body. [1]
The CD family of co-receptors are a well-studied group of extracellular receptors found in immunological cells. [4] The CD receptor family typically act as co-receptors, illustrated by the classic example of CD4 acting as a co-receptor to the T cell receptor (TCR) to bind major histocompatibility complex II (MHC-II). [5]
The extracellular and transmembrane part of the coreceptor is from wild-type CD8 coreceptor, whereas the intracellular domain from CD4 coreceptor. [1] This model was created to examine role of coreceptor coupling to Lck (lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase) [1] as the CD4 and CD8 coreceptors have an Lck-binding site in their ...
The invariant chain is then broken down in stages by proteases called cathepsins, leaving only a small fragment known as CLIP which maintains blockage of the peptide binding cleft on the MHC molecule. A MHC class II-like structure, HLA-DM, facilitates CLIP removal and allows the binding of peptides with higher affinities. The stable class II ...
CEF 3 is a multi-process implementation based on the Chromium Content API and has performance similar to Google Chrome. [6] It uses asynchronous messaging to communicate between the main application process and one or more render processes ( Blink + V8 JavaScript engine).
D does it the same way as C++ does, with extern "C" through extern (C++) Dart includes dart:ffi [ 10 ] library to call native C code for mobile, command-line , and server applications Dynamic programming languages , such as Python , Perl , Tcl , and Ruby , all provide easy access to native code written in C, C++, or any other language obeying C ...
