Majeau, Zhifang Li, Lihe Su, Yen-Ming Hsu, and Paula S. Hochman Alefacept, an immunomodulatory recombinant fusion protein composed of the first extracellular domain of LFA-3 fused to the human IgG1 hinge, CH2, and CH3 domains, has recently been shown in phase II and III clinical trials to safely reduce disease expression in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis. Alefacept modulates the function of and selectively induces apoptosis of CD2؉ human memory-effector T cells in vivo. We have sought to gain further understanding of the mechanisms of action that influence the biological activity of alefacept and may contribute to its efficacy and patient responsiveness. Specifically evaluated is the ability Downloaded from of alefacept to activate intracellular signals mediated via CD2 and/or Fc␥RIII (CD16). Experimentation using isoforms of alefacept ␥ engineered to have amino acid substitutions in the IgG1 CH2 domain that impact Fc R binding indicate that alefacept mediates cognate interactions between cells expressing human CD2 and CD16 to activate cells, e.g., increase extracellular signal-regulated kinase phosphorylation, up-regulate cell surface expression of the activation marker CD25, and induce release of granzyme B. In the systems used, this signaling is shown to require binding to CD2 and CD16 and be mediated through CD16, but not CD2. Experimentation using human CD2-transgenic mice and isoforms of alefacept confirmed the requirement for Fc␥R binding for http://www.jimmunol.org/ detection of the pharmacological effects of alefacept in vivo. Thus alefacept acts as an effector molecule, mediating cognate ,interactions to activate Fc␥R؉ cells (e.g., NK cells) to induce apoptosis of sensitive CD2؉ target cells.

For this reason, the determination of the optimal cytotoxic activation of the different NK cell subsets can be a crucial aspect to be exploited to counter cancer cells in oncologic patients. To evaluate how the triggering of different combination of activating receptors can affect the cytotoxic responses of different NK cell subsets, we developed a microbead-based degranulation assay. By using this new assay, we were able to detect CD107a+ degranulating NK cells even within the less cytotoxic subsets (i.e., resting CD56bright and unlicensed CD56dim NK cells), thus demonstrating its high sensitivity.

    Amendment history: Correction (April 1993) The B7/BB1 antigen provides one of several costimulatory signals for the activation of CD4+ T lymphocytes by human blood dendritic cells in vitro. J W Young, … , R M Steinman, B Dupont J Clin Invest. 1992;90(1):229-237. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI115840. Research Article T cells respond to peptide antigen in association with MHC products on antigen-presenting cells (APCs). A number of accessory or costimulatory molecules have been identified that also contribute to T cell activation. Several of the known accessory molecules are expressed by freshly isolated dendritic cells, a distinctive leukocyte that is the most potent APC for the initiation of primary T cell responses. These include ICAM-1 (CD54), LFA-3 (CD58), and class I and II MHC products. Dendritic cells also constitutively express the accessory ligand for CD28, B7/BB1, which has not been previously identified on circulating leukocytes freshly isolated from peripheral blood. Dendritic cell expression of both B7/BB1 and ICAM-1 (CD54) increases after binding to allogeneic T cells. Individual mAbs against several of the respective accessory T cell receptors, e.g., anti-CD2, anti-CD4, anti-CD11a, and anti-CD28, inhibit T cell proliferation in the dendritic cell-stimulated allogeneic mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR) by 40-70%. Combinations of these mAbs are synergistic in achieving near total inhibition. Other T cell-reactive mAbs, e.g., anti-CD5 and anti-CD45, are not inhibitory. Lymphokine secretion and blast transformation are similarly reduced when active accessory ligand-receptor interactions are blocked in the dendritic cell-stimulated allogeneic […] Find the latest version: https://jci.me/115840/pdf The B7/BB1 Antigen Provides One of Several Costimulatory Signals for the Activation of CD4+ T Lymphocytes by Human Blood Dendritic Cells In Vitro James W.
