Exposure of phosphatidylserine on the outer leaflet of the cytoplasmic membrane is an early event during apoptotic cell death and serves as a recognition signal for phagocytes. Usually the clearance of apoptotic cells does not initiate inflammation or immune response. We investigated the immune response in Balb/c mice towards apoptotic human T-cells. Animals injected with apoptotic cells showed significantly reduced humoral immune responses, especially Th1-dependent IgG2a titres, compared to controls immunised with viable cells. However, treatment of apoptotic cells with annexin V (AxV) significantly increased the humoral immune response. AxV binds with high affinity to anionic phospholipids and as a result interferes with the phosphatidylserine recognition by phagocytes. Our results indicate that AxV treatment may be used to increase the efficiency of apoptotic cell-based vaccines, e.g. some tumour vaccines.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.

D017209 Apoptosis A regulated cell death mechanism characterized by distinctive morphologic changes in the nucleus and cytoplasm, including the endonucleolytic cleavage of genomic DNA, at regularly spaced, internucleosomal sites, i.e., DNA FRAGMENTATION. It is genetically programmed and serves as a balance to mitosis in regulating the size of animal tissues and in mediating pathologic processes associated with tumor growth.
