Description
This protocol details the mitochondrial antigen presentation (MitAP) to primary 2C CD8 T (proliferation and suppression) assay. In order to assess MitAP in an assay that incorporated all signals for naïve T cells activation in vivo, we tested whether H.pylori-exposed BMDCs could trigger activation of mitochondria-reactive primary CD8 T cell.

Modeling gene-environment interactions in Parkinson’s Disease: Helicobacter pylori infection of Pink1-/- mice induces CD8 T cell-dependent motor and cognitive dysfunction.

Here, we demonstrate in a mouse model deficient in the PD-associated gene Pink, that infection with the human PD-associated gastric bacterium Helicobacter pylori leads to development of motor and cognitive signs resembling prodromal features of PD.
