Upon transplantation of T cells from a CD28 superagonist (CD28-SA) treated donor into an irradiated allogeneic host, the CD28-SA-induced activation and expansion of Treg cells inhibits acute graft versus host disease (aGvHD), while not abrogating the desired graft versus tumor effect. Human peripheral blood CD4(+) T cells, however, harbor only very few Treg cells. Therefore, we studied whether polyclonal in vitro prestimulation of conventional, that is Treg -cell-depleted, CD4(+) T cells of C57BL/6 mice with CD28-SA-coated paramagnetic beads is sufficient to protect recipient BALB/c mice from aGvHD. CD28-SA prestimulation of conventional CD4(+) T cells efficiently protected BALB/c recipient mice from aGvHD and CD28-SA-stimulated CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells were capable of mediating long-term protection from the BCL1 lymphoma. The recently completed successful phase I testing of the human CD28-SA TGN1412/TAB08 should greatly facilitate further development of this straightforward method into a novel immunotherapy for patients.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D004195 Disease Models, Animal Naturally-occurring or experimentally-induced animal diseases with pathological processes analogous to human diseases. Animal Disease Model,Animal Disease Models,Disease Model, Animal
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.

D006086 Graft vs Host Disease The clinical entity characterized by anorexia, diarrhea, loss of hair, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, growth retardation, and eventual death brought about by the GRAFT VS HOST REACTION.

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.

D015496 CD4-Positive T-Lymphocytes A critical subpopulation of T-lymphocytes involved in the induction of most immunological functions. The HIV virus has selective tropism for the T4 cell which expresses the CD4 phenotypic marker, a receptor for HIV. In fact, the key element in the profound immunosuppression seen in HIV infection is the depletion of this subset of T-lymphocytes.
