چکیده

Although immunoregulation by several types of regulatory T cells is now clearly established in mice, the demonstration of such regulatory T cells in humans has been proven more difficult. In this study we demonstrate the induction of anergic regulatory T cells during an MLR performed in the presence of blocking mAb to the costimulatory molecules CD40, CD80, and CD86. Despite this costimulation blockade, which totally blocks T cell proliferation and cytokine production, a nonproliferating T cell subpopulation was activated to express inducible costimulator (ICOS). These ICOS(+) cells were anergic when restimulated with unmanipulated allogeneic stimulator cells at the level of proliferation and Th1 and Th2 cytokine production, but they did produce IL-10. These ICOS-expressing cells also blocked the capacity of reciprocal ICOS-negative cells to proliferate and to produce cytokines. ICOS(+) anergic cells could suppress allogenic responses of either primed or naive T cells through inhibition of IL-2 gene transcription. Suppression was not mediated by IL-10 and did not require ICOS-ICOS ligand interaction, but depended on cell-cell contact. Thus, a subtype of regulatory T cells in human blood can be activated in the absence of costimulatory signals from CD40, CD80, and CD86, and they can be identified by expression of ICOS after activation.

ساخت گیرنده کایمریک لنفوسیت T دارای کمک محرک OX40 علیه سلول‌های سرطان سینه

Background and Objective: Chimeric antigen T cell receptors provide a good approach for adoptive immunotherapy of cancer. In this new kind of chimeric T cell receptor, nanobodies are replaced as variable fragment of T cell receptor. Nanobodies (VHH) are the smallest fragments of antibodies that have great homology to human VH and low immunogenic potential. VHH-hing-CD28-CD3و construct was made ...

Heat-stable antigen is a costimulatory molecule for CD4 T cell growth

Optimal induction of clonal expansion by normal CD4 T cells requires a ligand that can engage the T cell receptor as well as functionally defined costimulatory activity on the same antigen-presenting cell surface. While the presence of effective costimulation induces proliferation, T cell receptor ligation in its absence renders T cells inactive or anergic. The molecular basis of this costimula...

B7h is required for T cell activation, differentiation, and effector function.

T helper (Th) cell activation, differentiation, and immune function are regulated by costimulatory molecules. Inducible costimulator (ICOS) is a recently identified costimulatory receptor expressed on activated T cells. A ligand for ICOS, B7h, is expressed on B cells and other types of antigen-presenting cells (APC). Although ICOS has been shown to be essential in T cell activation and differen...

Effect of Anti-CD3/CD28 Dynabeads and Allogeneic PBMCs on Expansion of Anti-MUC1 Chimeric Receptor T Cells

Background and purpose: In recent years, immunotherapy using chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR T cells) has been considered as a novel and promising treatment for some diseases, especially cancer. The CAR T cell production is a multi-step, complex, time-consuming, and costly process. One of the most important steps in production of CAR T cells is expansion of these cells at appropriate num...
