BACKGROUND T-cell-depleted allografts may exhibit delayed T-cell recovery, severe infections, and relapse after haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Required donor lymphocyte infusions containing nonalloreactive cells may transfer immune function without causing graft-versus-host disease. METHODS We developed an ex vivo approach for the immunomagnetic depletion of alloreactive CD25+, CD69+, and HLA-DR+ T-cells. To achieve highest rates of alloantigen expression, we cocultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) with PBMNCs (A/B*), dendritic cells (A/B* DCs), or cytokine-pretreated PBMNCs (A/B* cyt cells). Functional analyses were performed after depletion. RESULTS After coculture with PBMNCs (A/B* cells), 29% of T-cells became CD25+, CD69+, and HLA-DR+. In modified mixed lymphocyte reactions (MLR) (A/B* cyt cells and A/B* DCs), 35% and 37% of T-cells became CD25+, CD69+, and HLA-DR+. Alloactivation was confirmed by interferon gamma release and proliferation. Immuno-magnetic depletion produced <1% alloactivated cells. Furthermore, this depletion strategy was allospecific and hardly impaired the immune function of the retained cells. CONCLUSIONS The efficiency of immunomagnetic depletion depended on the stimulatory capacity of stimulator cells and was improved by using cytokine-pretreated PBMNCs for alloactivation. Overall, this approach might be a promising strategy for restoration of the immune system, particularly after haploidentical HSCT.

D007963 Leukocytes, Mononuclear Mature LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES transported by the blood to the body's extravascular space. They are morphologically distinguishable from mature granulocytic leukocytes by their large, non-lobed nuclei and lack of coarse, heavily stained cytoplasmic granules.

D008212 Lymphocyte Depletion Immunosuppression by reduction of circulating lymphocytes or by T-cell depletion of bone marrow. The former may be accomplished in vivo by thoracic duct drainage or administration of antilymphocyte serum. The latter is performed ex vivo on bone marrow before its transplantation. Depletion, Lymphocyte
D008280 Magnetics The study of MAGNETIC PHENOMENA. Magnetic
D003713 Dendritic Cells Specialized cells of the hematopoietic system that have branch-like extensions. They are found throughout the lymphatic system, and in non-lymphoid tissues such as SKIN and the epithelia of the intestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. They trap and process ANTIGENS, and present them to T-CELLS, thereby stimulating CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY. They are different from the non-hematopoietic FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS, which have a similar morphology and immune system function, but with respect to humoral immunity (ANTIBODY PRODUCTION).

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D016219 Immunotherapy, Adoptive Form of adoptive transfer where cells with antitumor activity are transferred to the tumor-bearing host in order to mediate tumor regression. The lymphoid cells commonly used are lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL). This is usually considered a form of passive immunotherapy.
