121 9696840 CD40 ligand-mediated interactions are involved in the generation of memory CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) but are not required for the maintenance of CTL memory following virus infection.
122 9696840 In this study, we investigated the involvement of CD40 ligand (CD40L)-mediated interactions in these processes by analyzing the memory CTL response of CD40L-deficient mice following infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV).

170 9720647 Here we describe that aging is associated with the emergence of an unusual CD4 T cell subset characterized by the loss of CD28 expression.
171 9720647 Despite the deficiency of CD28, these unusual T cells remain functionally active and produce high concentrations of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-2 (IL-2).
172 9720647 The loss of CD28 expression is correlated with a lack of CD40 ligand expression rendering these CD4 T cells incapable of promoting B cell differentiation and immunoglobulin secretion.
173 9720647 We propose that the emergence of CD28-deficient CD4 T cells in the elderly can partially explain age-specific aberrations in immune responsiveness.

250 10429676 We transduced BALB/c-derived C-26 colon carcinoma cells with granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and CD40 ligand (CD40L) genes to favor interaction of these cells with host dendritic cells (DCs) and, therefore, cross-priming.
251 10429676 DCs isolated from C-26/GM/CD40L tumors grown in (BALB/c x C57BL/6)F1 mice (H-2d x b) stimulated interferon gamma production by both anti-AH-1 and KSP CTLs, whereas tumor-infiltrating DCs (TIDCs) of BALB/c mice stimulated only anti-AH-1 CTLs.
252 10429676 These data indicate that DCs infiltrating tumors that produce GM-CSF and CD40L can capture cellular antigens, likely through uptake of apoptotic bodies, and mature in situ to a stage suitable for antigen presentation.

281 10498601 Rapid induction of CD40 on a subset of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-mobilized CD34(+) blood cells identifies myeloid committed progenitors and permits selection of nonimmunogenic CD40(-) progenitor cells.
282 10498601 CD40 antigen is a costimulatory molecule highly expressed on dendritic cells (DC) and activated B cells, which induces T-cell proliferation through the binding with CD40L receptor.
283 10498601 CD40, CD80, and CD86 antigens were constitutively expressed on 3.2% +/- 4.5%, 0%, and 1.8% +/- 1.2% CD34(+) blood cells, respectively.
284 10498601 However, after 24 hours in liquid culture with medium alone, or with tumor-necrosis-factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), or with allogeneic mononuclear cells 10.8% +/- 3.8%, 75.3% +/- 15.0% and 53. 7% +/- 17.0% CD34(+) blood cells, respectively, became CD40(+).
285 10498601 After incubation for 24 hours with TNF-alpha CD34(+)CD40(+) blood cells expressed only myeloid markers and contained less than 5% CD86(+) and CD80(+) cells.
286 10498601 Also, a 24-hour priming with TNF-alpha or ligation of CD40 significantly increased the CD34(+) blood cells alloantigen presenting function.
287 10498601 Finally, purified CD34(+)CD40(+) blood cells stimulated an alloreactive T-cell response in MLC, were enriched in granulocytic, monocytic, and dendritic precursors, and generated high numbers of DC in 11-14 d liquid cultures with GM-CSF, SCF, TNF-alpha and FLT-3L.
288 10498601 In conclusion, a short incubation with TNF-alpha allows the selection of CD40(+) blood progenitors, which may be a useful source of DC precursors for antitumor vaccine studies, and also a CD34(+)CD40(-) blood cell fraction that could be exploited in innovative strategies of allogeneic transplantation across HLA barriers.

305 10601552 Human tumor antigens when presented appropriately (with costimulatory molecules and with IL-2, IL-12) break the host's natural tolerance toward its tumor and induce rejection strength immune reactions even in patients with metastatic disease.
306 10601552 For successful active specific immunization against human cancers the understanding of the immunoevasive maneuvers of the tumor cell (through FasL --> Fas; TRAIL; CD40L --> CD40; TGFbeta etc. systems) is essential.
307 10602014 We investigated the composition of proteasomes of DC derived from human peripheral blood monocytes before and after stimulation by CD40L, LPS, or proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-alpha + IL-6 + IL-1beta).
308 10602014 Immunoprecipitation of proteasomes and analysis on two-dimensional gels revealed that during maturation the inducible proteasome subunits LMP2, LMP7, and MECL-1 are up-regulated and that the neosynthesis of proteasomes is switched exclusively to the production of immunoproteasomes containing these subunits.
309 10679086 We demonstrate that immature and CD40 ligand-matured monocyte-derived DC have characteristic phenotypic and functional differences in vitro.
310 10679086 In particular, immature DC express CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) and migrate in response to macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha (MIP-1alpha), whereas mature DC switch expression to CCR7 and respond exclusively to MIP-3beta and 6Ckine.
311 10794058 Antiviral CD4 and CD8 T-cell memory: differences in the size of the response and activation requirements.
312 10794058 In this study, we used intracellular staining for interferon-gamma to measure both CD4 and CD8 responses in the same mice at the single cell level.
313 10794058 Like the CD8 response, long-term CD4 memory could be found up to a year after the infection with frequencies of approximately 1 in 260 (0.5-1.5 x 10(5) per spleen).
314 10794058 However, the magnitude of virus-specific CD8 T cells was greater than virus-specific CD4 T cells during all phases of the immune response (expansion, death, and memory).
315 10794058 At day 8, there were 20- to 35-fold more virus-specific CD8 T cells than CD4 T cells.
316 10794058 This initial difference in cell number lasted into the memory phase as there remained a ten- to 20-fold difference in the CD8 and CD4 responses.
317 10794058 In addition to the difference in the magnitude, the activation requirements of CD8 and CD4 T-cell responses were different: CD8 T responses were not affected by blockade of CD40-CD40 ligand interaction whereas CD4 responses were reduced 90%.
318 10794058 So while there is long-term memory in both the CD8 and CD4 compartments, the rules regulating the activation of CD8 and CD4 T cells and the overall magnitude of the responses are different.
319 10811863 In contrast, vaccination with granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-transduced tumor cells, previously shown to induce potent antitumor immunity in standard tumor challenge assays, led to a decreased therapeutic effect in the metastasis model and no effect in the subcutaneous tumor model.
320 10811863 Further engineering of DCs to express either GM-CSF, tumor necrosis factor alpha, or CD40 ligand via retroviral-mediated gene transfer, led to a significantly increased therapeutic effect in the subcutaneous tumor model.
321 10811863 The immunological mechanism, as shown for GM-CSF-transduced DCs, involves MAGE-1-specific CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells.

338 10838666 Generation of monocyte-derived dendritic cells from patients with renal cell cancer: modulation of their functional properties after therapy with biological response modifiers (IFN-alpha plus IL-2 and IL-12).
339 10838666 The combination of interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) plus interleukin (IL-2) has been accepted in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (MRCC), whereas vaccines based on IL-12 or dendritic cells (DCs) are still being investigated.
340 10838666 Eight and 13 MRCC patients received IL-2 plus IFN-alpha or IL-12 immunotherapy, respectively.
341 10838666 The adherent fraction of mononuclear cells from patients' blood drawn before, during, and after immunotherapy was incubated in clinically approved culture medium supplemented with 5% autologous serum, rhu granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor, and rhuIL-4 for a week.
342 10838666 Morphologic and phenotypical analyses revealed immature DCs with low levels of CD1a or CD83 expression throughout therapy with BRMs.
343 10838666 IL-12 expression levels under IFN-gamma and CD40L stimulation were significantly lower in MDDC cultures from patients with MRCC compared with healthy volunteers.
344 10866318 Genetically modified dendritic cells prime autoreactive T cells through a pathway independent of CD40L and interleukin 12: implications for cancer vaccines.
345 10866318 Genetic immunization through ex vivo transduction of dendritic cells has been suggested as an effective approach to enhance antitumor immunity by activating both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.
346 10866318 Immunizing mice with dendritic cells transduced with an adenovirus expressing the human melanoma antigen glycoprotein 100 (DCAdhgp100) as a cancer vaccine, we demonstrated complete protective immunity and a potent CTL response against melanomas expressing murine glycoprotein 100 in a CD4+ cell-dependent manner.
347 10866318 Surprisingly, however, effective tumor rejection was not the result of cooperation between CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.
348 10866318 Protective immunity was completely lost when CD4+ cells were depleted immediately before tumor challenge, whereas it was unaffected by removal of CD8+ cells, establishing a principal role for CD4+ cells in the effector phase of tumor rejection.
349 10866318 Neither protective immunity nor CTL generation in this model required interleukin 12, in spite of high levels of IFN-gamma secretion by tumor-reactive T cells.
350 10866318 Most notably, the DCAdhgp100 vaccine could elicit protective antitumor CD4+ cells in the absence of CD40 ligand, although it does not bypass the need for CD40-mediated signals to generate melanoma-reactive CTLs.
351 10866318 Thus, in contrast to the current thinking that the optimal cancer vaccine should include determinants for both CD4+ and CD8+ cells, the potency of the DCAdhgp100 vaccine appears to be a result of its ability to directly prime autoreactive CD4+ cells through a process that does not require interleukin 12 and CD40 signals.

360 10985254 CD40 ligand (also called CD40L, CD154, or TNFSF5) is a membrane protein expressed mainly by activated CD4+ T cells, which interacts with its receptor, CD40, on a variety of cells.
361 10985254 However, by activating antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells and macrophages, CD40L can also lead to increased CD4+ T cell activation, which promotes the replication of HIV in these lymphocytes.
362 10985254 Later, with the development of AIDS, CD40L-expressing CD4+ T cells become selectively depleted, perhaps as a result of a gp120-induced signal through CD4 that down-regulates CD40L expression.
363 10985254 Vaccines or other strategies that promote the growth of CD4+ T cells capable of expressing CD40L may help to sustain host immunity against HIV and prevent AIDS-defining opportunistic infections.

376 11015437 B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) is a newly identified monocyte-specific TNF family cytokine.
377 11015437 BLyS acts on primary splenic B cells autonomously, and directly cooperates with CD40 ligand (CD40L) in B cell activation in vitro by protecting replicating B cells from apoptosis.
378 11015437 Attenuation of apoptosis by BLyS correlates with changes in the ratios between Bcl-2 family proteins in favor of cell survival, predominantly by reducing the proapoptotic Bak and increasing its prosurvival partners, Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL.
379 11015437 In either resting or CD40L-activated B cells, the NF-kappaB transcription factors RelB and p50 are specifically activated, suggesting that they may mediate BLyS signals for B cell survival.
380 11015437 The ability of BLyS to increase B cell survival indiscriminately, at either a resting or activated state, and to cooperate with CD40L, further suggests that attenuation of apoptosis underlies BLyS enhancement of polyclonal autoimmunity as well as the physiologic humoral immune response.

388 11015437 Attenuation of apoptosis by BLyS correlates with changes in the ratios between Bcl-2 family proteins in favor of cell survival, predominantly by reducing the proapoptotic Bak and increasing its prosurvival partners, Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL.
389 11015437 In either resting or CD40L-activated B cells, the NF-kappaB transcription factors RelB and p50 are specifically activated, suggesting that they may mediate BLyS signals for B cell survival.
390 11015437 The ability of BLyS to increase B cell survival indiscriminately, at either a resting or activated state, and to cooperate with CD40L, further suggests that attenuation of apoptosis underlies BLyS enhancement of polyclonal autoimmunity as well as the physiologic humoral immune response.
391 11035118 The proliferative response was defined as a Th response by the selective expansion of CD4(+) cells, up-regulation of CD25 and CD40L, and IL-2 and IFN-gamma expression.
392 11042280 We generated monocyte-derived DC from leukapheresis products by using GM-CSF and IL-4 and showed that amongst several known maturation stimuli the cocktail consisting of TNF-alpha+IL-1 beta+IL-6+PGE(2) achieved the highest survival of mature DC.
393 11042280 The addition of CD40L or TRANCE/RANKL further improved DC survival.
394 11043379 CD40 and CD40 ligand (CD40L) have been implicated as important molecules for the transformation of nonactivated antigen-presenting cells (APC) into cells that are potent inducers of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) immunity.
395 11043379 The onset of a successful immune response lies within the control of the CD4+ T helper cells which, after specific antigen recognition, can up-regulate CD40L and subsequently activate APC through CD40 signaling.
396 11043379 Triggering of CD40 with antibodies in vivo can replace the need for CD40L-expressing CD4+ T helper cells for cross-priming of CTL.
397 11043379 Interestingly, differential involvement of CD40/CD40L in immune responses can be observed between various immunological sites in the body.

410 11049018 Recent studies, for example, indicate that the stealth-like phenotype of leukemia cells can be reversed through transfer of genes such as the one encoding CD154, the ligand for CD40.
411 11049026 A number of cell surface antigens on malignant plasma cells and/or B cells in MM and/or WM patients have been proposed for use in tumor cell-targeted serotherapy, including immunoglobulin idiotype, CD19, CD20, CD38, CD54, CD138, HM1.24, and MUC1 core protein.
412 11049026 Ongoing clinical trials are examining serotherapy targeting CD20 (in MM and WM) and CD38 (in MM), with early reports of responses to the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb) Rituximab (Genentech, South San Francisco, CA) in patients with WM and certain patients with MM.
413 11049026 The use of agents to induce MM- and WM-selective antigens for targeting in serotherapy has been proposed based on studies demonstrating the upregulation of CD20 by interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), and of MUC1 core protein by dexamethasone (DEX) on malignant plasma cells.
414 11049026 Whole tumor vaccination strategies are also being examined and include the use of MM cells transfected and/or stimulated with cytokines, costimulatory molecules, or CD40 ligand.
415 11086107 Dendritic cells, infected with vesicular stomatitis virus-pseudotyped HIV-1, present viral antigens to CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from HIV-1-infected individuals.
416 11086107 The nonreplicating, VSV/HIV-1 efficiently infected the immature stage of DC development, in this case represented by monocytes cultured with GM-CSF and IL-4.
417 11086107 The infected populations were further matured with CD40 ligand, leading to strong stimulation of autologous T cells from HIV-1-infected individuals, but not controls.
418 11086107 Enriched CD8(+) T cells from 12/12 donors released IFN-gamma (50-300 enzyme-linked immunospots/200,000 T cells) and proliferated.
419 11086107 Presentation to CD8(+) T cells, but not to CD4(+), was primarily through an endogenous pathway, because the responses were markedly reduced if envelope-defective virus particles or reverse transcriptase inhibitors were added.
420 11086107 Therefore, nonreplicating vaccines can be targeted to immature DCs, which upon further maturation induce combined and robust CD4(+) and CD8(+) immunity.
421 11106934 Selection and characterization of MUC1-specific CD8+ T cells from MUC1 transgenic mice immunized with dendritic-carcinoma fusion cells.
422 11106934 Here we demonstrate that lymph node cells from MUC1.Tg mice immunized with the FC/MUC1 fusion cells proliferate in response to MUC1 antigen by a mechanism dependent on the function of CD4, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II, B7-1, B7-2, CD28, CD40 and CD40 ligand.
423 11106934 The findings demonstrate that stimulation of lymph node cells with MUC1 results in selection of MUC1-specific CD8+ T cells.
424 11106934 We show that the CD8+ T cells exhibit MUC1-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activity by recognition of MUC1 peptides presented in the context of MHC class I molecules Kb and Db.
425 11106934 The MUC1-specific CD8+ T cells also exhibit antitumour activity against MUC1-positive metastases, but with no apparent reactivity against normal tissues.
426 11106934 These results indicate that immunization of MUC1.Tg mice with FC/MUC1 reverses immunological unresponsiveness to MUC1 by presentation of MUC1 peptides in the presence of costimulatory signals and generates MHC-restricted MUC1-specific CD8+ T cells.
427 11140881 Following culture in cytokines GM-CSF/IL-4/CD40L, which induced differentiation of AML blasts to dendritic-like cells, transduction efficiency was increased between two- and eightfold in 6 out of the 15 cases that underwent differentiation.
428 11223075 An integral and necessary part of a T-cell immune response involves triggering of CD40 on antigen-presenting cells (APC) by its ligand, CD154, on responding T helper (Th) cells.
429 11223075 Furthermore, cytotoxic responses to tumours may fail because the Th-cell response is inadequate and unable to provide CD40 stimulation of APC.
430 11223075 Growing evidence shows that stimulating APC with soluble CD40L or an agonistic anti-CD40 mAb can, at least in part, replace the need for Th cells and generate APC that are capable of priming cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL).
431 11223075 In addition, depletion of CD8(+) cells abrogated protection whilst depletion of CD4(+) cells had no effect.

470 11265774 Proinflammatory cytokines and CD40 ligand enhance cross-presentation and cross-priming capability of human dendritic cells internalizing apoptotic cancer cells.
471 11265774 Proinflammatory cytokines (PC), CD40 ligand (CD40L) and/or interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) were found to markedly enhance the immunogenicity of TAA presented by DC.
472 11265774 While PC upregulated expression of major histocompatibility complex class I/II and costimulatory molecules on the surface of DC, CD40L +/- IFN-gamma increased interleukin (IL)- 12 and to a lesser extent, IL-15 production by DC.

506 11290810 Targeting antigen in mature dendritic cells for simultaneous stimulation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.
507 11290810 Immature DC (DCimm) capture, process, and present Ags to CD4(+) lymphocytes, which reciprocally activate DCimm through CD40, and the resulting mature DC (DCmat) loose phagocytic capacity, but acquire the ability to efficiently stimulate CD8(+) lymphocytes.
508 11290810 Recombinant vaccinia viruses (rVV) provide a rapid, easy, and efficient method to introduce Ags into DC, but we observed that rVV infection of DCimm results in blockade of DC maturation in response to all activation signals, including CD40L, monocyte-conditioned medium, LPS, TNF-alpha, and poly(I:C), and failure to induce a CD8(+) response.
509 11290810 These results demonstrate that despite rVV interference with DCimm maturation, a single targeting vector can deliver Ags to DCmat for the effective simultaneous stimulation of both CD4(+) and CD8(+) cells.

519 11380416 A pilot study of combined immunotherapy with autologous adoptive tumour-specific T-cell transfer, vaccination with CD40-activated malignant B cells and interleukin 2.
520 11380416 In a pilot study, we tested the feasibility and safety of combined immunotherapy consisting of adoptive transfer of autologous tumour-specific T cells, low-dose interleukin 2 (IL-2) and a cellular vaccine of CD40-activated plasma cell leukaemia (PCL) cells in a patient who failed tandem repeat stem cell transplantation and idiotype vaccination.
521 11380416 CD40-activated PCL cells for vaccination were similarly generated ex vivo by co-culture with CD40 ligand transfectants.
522 11380416 We demonstrated the safety and feasibility in combining autologous tumour-specific T-cell therapy with low-dose IL-2 and that clinical trials based on the use of CD40-activated autologous tumour cell vaccines are warranted in patients with CD40-activated autologous tumour cells, either as a vaccine or for ex vivo stimulation of autologous T cells.
523 11399230 Modulation of cellular responses by plasmid CD40L: CD40L plasmid vectors enhance antigen-specific helper T cell type 1 CD4+ T cell-mediated protective immunity against herpes simplex virus type 2 in vivo.
524 11399230 The costimulatory molecule CD40, expressed on antigen-presenting cells, is thought to interact with CD40 ligand (CD40L) expressed on activated CD4(+) or CD8(+) T cells to further drive interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) expression and antigen-specific T cell expansion necessary for both class II and class I responses.

663 11591784 Third, a decisive increase over control values was observed in both MHC class I Ag-restricted cytotoxicity of CTLs from successfully vaccinated mice and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines IFN-gamma and IL-12.
664 11591784 Fourth, activation of CTLs was augmented, as indicated by up-regulation of activity markers LFA-1, CD25, CD28, and CD69.
665 11591784 Taken together, these results suggest that a dual-function DNA vaccine encoding CEA and CD40 ligand trimer combined with tumor-targeted IL-2 may be a promising strategy for the rational development of DNA-based cancer vaccines for future clinical applications.

725 11714787 Lipopolysaccharide modulation of dendritic cells is insufficient to mature dendritic cells to generate CTLs from naive polyclonal CD8+ T cells in vitro, whereas CD40 ligation is essential.
726 11714787 Many cytotoxic CD8+ T cell responses are dependent on the interactions between CD40 ligand on the helper CD4+ T cell and CD40 on the APC.
727 11714787 Although CD40 triggering of dendritic cells (DC) has been shown to mature the DC by increasing the level of expression of costimulatory molecules and inducing IL-12 secretion, the precise mechanisms by which CD40-CD40 ligand interactions allow DC to drive CTL responses remain unknown.

734 11726219 We compared the capacity of DC to generate CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell responses after exposure to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) alone, PSA targeted to the mannose receptor (mannosylated PSA (PSA-m)), or PSA targeted to Fc receptors by combining PSA with an anti-PSA antibody (AR47.47).
735 11726219 Autologous CD3(+) T cells were added to monocyte-derived immature DC that had been cultured with GM-CSF/IL-4 for 4 days, exposed to antigen, and matured with CD40L or TNFalpha/IFN-alpha.
736 11726219 Both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell responses were observed after stimulation with DC exposed to the PSA/anti-PSA complexes, whereas CD4(+) predominated over CD8(+) T cell responses after stimulation with PSA-armed DC or PSA-m.
737 11726219 These CD8(+) T cells responded when rechallenged with DC pulsed with HLA allele-restricted PSA peptides.

771 11777991 Maturation parameters such as production of IL-12 and increases in cell surface expression of HLA-DR, CD80, CD86, CD40, and CD83 were observed following DC treatment with MPL.
772 11777991 This is likely to be related to differences in the kinetics of extracellular signal-related kinase 1/2 and p-38 phosphorylation induced by both molecules.
773 11777991 The observed effect was related to the fact that MPL also acts directly on T cells, likely through their Toll-like receptors, by increasing their intracellular calcium and up-regulating their CD40 ligand expression.
774 11792391 Characteristic immunophenotypic and functional DC maturation induced by standard monocyte conditioned medium (MCM) was compared to the activation induced by a panel of stimuli including soluble CD40L, LPS, Poly I:C, PGE(2)/TNFalpha, and a cocktail mixture of PGE(2)/TNFalpha/IL-1beta/IL-6.
775 11792391 Immunophenotypic analysis confirmed that all stimuli induced stable up-regulation of CD25, CD40, CD80, CD83, CD86, HLA-DR, DC-LAMP (CD208), and DEC-205 (CD205).

854 12010968 Optimal Ab production required addition of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and IL-10 for all antigenic preparations.
855 12036933 CD40L enhances the antigen presentation function of CD40-expressing B cells.
856 12036933 We have used a murine B-cell lymphoma model (A20) to study the in vivo antitumor effect of the administration of tumor cells transduced with a recombinant adenovirus encoding CD40L (AdvCD40L).
857 12036933 After infection with AdvCD40L, A20 tumor cells up-regulate several T-cell costimulatory molecules (CD80, CD86, ICAM-1, and LFA-3) and Fas expression.

863 12082460 We have constructed and tested five recombinant adenoviruses (Ads) that express a variety of immunomodulators, including CD40 ligand (CD40L), a potent costimulator of several components of the immune system.
864 12082460 Subsequently, using a therapeutic approach, we found that local, intratumoral coinjection of CD40L- and IL-2-expressing Ads was superior to any other agents tested and resulted in an at least 1.9-fold increase in mean survival time, in contrast to systemic application of recombinant CD40L or GM-CSF proteins, which had no significant effects.
865 12082460 When using vaccination as a therapeutic approach, the combinations of CD40L plus IL-2 or GM-CSF plus IL-2 from Ad gave rise to an extended (2.8-fold) increase in mean survival time.
866 12082460 A detailed analysis of immune cells present within regressing tumors indicated that mainly CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells, and to a lesser extent dendritic cells, infiltrated the tumor mass, but not NK cells, macrophages, or granulocytes.
867 12082460 These results propose that a combination of CD40L plus IL-2 has an improved efficacy over the use of single agents when applied for direct in situ therapy or vaccination therapy.

885 12096033 In addition, they expressed chemokine receptor CCR7 and CD62L, and could drive T cells towards a T(h)1 response with secretion of IFN-gamma.
886 12108975 In some cases, such as with IL-12, IL-7 and CD40L genes, injection inside experimental malignancies of thus transfected dendritic cells induces complete tumor regression in several models.
887 12111121 Molecular requirements for CD8-mediated rejection of a MUC1-expressing pancreatic carcinoma: implications for tumor vaccines.
888 12111121 We confirmed that a CD8(+) effector cell was required to eliminate MUC1-expressing Panc02 tumors, and demonstrated that T cells expressing TCR-alpha/beta and co-stimulation through CD28 and CD40:CD40L interactions played critical roles during the initiation of the anti-Panc02.MUC1 immune response.
889 12111121 TCR-alpha/beta(+) cells were required to eliminate Panc02.MUC1 tumors, while TCR-gamma/delta(+) cells played a suppressive non-MUC1-specific role in anti-Panc02 tumor immunity.
890 12111121 Type 1 cytokine interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), but not interleukin-12 (IL-12), was essential for eliminating MUC1-expressing tumors, while neither IL-4 nor IL-10 (type 2 cytokines) were required for tumor rejection.
891 12111121 In vitro studies demonstrated that IFN-gamma upregulated MHC class I, but not MHC class II, on Panc02.MUC1 tumor cells.
892 12111121 Surprisingly, both perforin and FasL played unique roles during the effector phase of immunity to Panc02.MUC1, while lymphotoxin-alpha, but not TNFR-1, was required for immunity against Panc02.MUC1 tumors.
893 12149218 Surprisingly, we found that for all maturation stimuli tested, the addition of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was required for effective migration of MoDCs toward the lymph node-derived chemokines CCL19 (EBI1 ligand chemokine/macrophage inflammatory protein--3beta) and CCL21 (secondary lymphoid tissue chemokine [SLC]/6Ckine).
894 12149218 Costimulation with PGE2 enhanced the expression of the CCL19/CCL21 receptor CCR7 on the cell surface of MoDCs when they were matured with soluble CD40 ligand or proinflammatory cytokines, but did not affect CCR7 expression of polyI:C-stimulated MoDCs.
895 12149218 The effects of PGE2 on MoDCs were mediated through increased cyclic adenosine monophosphate by 2 of the known PGE2 receptors, EP2 and EP4, which are expressed and down-regulated after PGE2 binding in these cells.
896 12163263 It has been shown that dendritic cells (DCs) activated by signaling via CD40-CD40 ligand (CD40L) interaction are required for the differentiation of naive CD8(+) T cells into antigen-specific CTLs in a non-mucosal environment.

955 12357348 In particular, ex vivo culture of ALL cells with CD40 ligand, incubation of AML cells with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and interleukin-4 (GM-CSF/IL-4) and lentiviral transduction of ALL and AML cells for expression of immunomodulators (CD80 and GM-CSF) are current approaches under investigation for the development of autologous acute leukemia cell vaccines.
956 12391201 CD28, TNF receptor, and IL-12 are critical for CD4-independent cross-priming of therapeutic antitumor CD8+ T cells.
957 12391201 Previously, we have shown that priming of therapeutic CD8(+) T cells in tumor vaccine-draining lymph nodes of mice vaccinated with GM-CSF secreting B16BL6 melanoma cells occurs independent of CD4 T cell help.
958 12391201 In this study, we examined the contribution of the major costimulatory molecules, CD40 ligand (CD40L), CD80, and CD86, in the priming of CD8(+) T cells.
959 12391201 Priming of therapeutic CD8(+) T cells by a GM-CSF-transduced tumor vaccine did not require CD40 and CD40L interactions, as therapeutic T cells could be generated from mice injected with anti-CD40L Ab and from CD40L knockout mice.
960 12391201 However, costimulation via either CD80 or CD86 was required, as therapeutic T cells could be generated from mice injected with either anti-CD80 or anti-CD86 Ab alone, but administration of both Abs completely inhibited the priming of therapeutic T cells.
961 12391201 Blocking experiments also identified that priming of therapeutic T cells in MHC class II-deficient mice required TNFR and IL-12 signaling, but signaling through CD40, lymphotoxin-betaR, or receptor activator of NF-kappaB was not essential.
962 12391201 Thus, cross-priming of therapeutic CD8(+) T cells by a tumor vaccine transduced with GM-CSF requires TNFR, IL-12, and CD28 signaling.

970 12427285 Of the TNFSF molecules, CD40 ligand (CD40L, also called CD154 or TNFSF5) is the most crucial molecule for activating antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and thereby initiating the immune response.
971 12427285 Evidence has accrued indicating that HIV infection either selectively depletes those CD4(+) T cells that express CD40L in response to antigen or down-regulates CD40L expression by these cells.
972 12427285 CD40L contributes to the antiviral mechanisms of the host by inducing anti-HIV beta-chemokines and activating CD8(+) T cells.

979 12430862 Recent studies indicate that the stealth-like phenotype of leukemia cells can be reversed through transfer of genes encoding recombinant membrane-stabilized proteins of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) imily, such as the one encoding CD154, the ligand for CD40.
980 12445291 In natural immune responses CD4+ T helper (Th) cells, reactive with peptide antigens presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules on dendritic cells (DC), can drive the maturation of DC that is required for induction of CD8+ cytolytic T-lymphocyte (CTL) immunity.
981 12445291 Proper induction, expansion and maintenance of CTL responses are achieved through delicate interactions between CD4+ T cells, DC and CD8+ T cells involving several ligand-receptor pairs.
982 12445291 Th cells to a large extent operate through up-regulation of CD40L, which then interacts with CD40 on DC to cause DC maturation.
983 12445291 Subsequent CTL induction by activated DC requires CD80/CD86 on the DC to interact with the CD28 costimulatory receptor on CD8+ T cells.
984 12445291 Alternative molecular triggers of DC activation that can support induction of powerful CTL responses include agonistic anti-CD40 antibody or ligands of Toll-like receptors (TLR) such as LPS (TLR4 ligand) or oligodeoxynucleotides containing CpG-motifs (TLR9 ligand).
985 12477423 We compared the standard maturation stimulus, autologous monocyte-conditioned medium (MCM), with a synthetic double stranded RNA (poly I:C), soluble CD40 ligand trimer, and a defined cocktail of cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-6) and PGE(2) to promote mature phenotype and function in human monocyte-derived DCs.
986 12487060 Another study examined this issue by studying prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) protein-loaded mature DCs injected intravenously, intradermally, and intralymphatically in prostate cancer patients [45].
987 12487060 Regardless of route of administration, T cell responses were induced as measured by proliferation when PBMCs in vitro were stimulated with the PAP protein.
988 12487060 A number of studies have demonstrated that maturation signals such as inflammatory cytokines and CD40 ligation lead to down-regulation of antigen processing and up-regulation of the chemokine receptor CCR7, which leads to homing to lymph nodes [46] as well as the MHC molecules, costimulatory molecules, and maturation markers [8,47,48].
989 12487060 One study using CEA peptides and CEA RNA found that optimal T cell presentation occurs when peptides are loaded after maturation with CD40 ligand and when RNA is transfected before maturation with CD40 ligand [53].
990 12487060 Many use DTH responses, but these may measure CD4 T cells instead of CD8 T cells.
991 12487060 Others have monitored the decrease in serum tumor markers such as PSA or CEA.
992 12489023 CD40, a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNF-R) family, is a surface receptor best known for its capacity to initiate multifaceted activation signals in normal B cells and dendritic cells (DCs).
993 12489023 CD40-related treatment approaches have been considered for the experimental therapy of human leukemias, lymphomas, and multiple myeloma, based on findings that CD40 binding by its natural ligand (CD40L), CD154, led to growth modulation of malignant B cells.
994 12496388 OX40 ligand-transduced tumor cell vaccine synergizes with GM-CSF and requires CD40-Apc signaling to boost the host T cell antitumor response.
995 12496388 Efficient T cell priming by GM-CSF and CD40 ligand double-transduced C26 murine colon carcinoma is not sufficient to cure metastases in a therapeutic setting.
996 12496388 To determine whether a cellular vaccine that interacts directly with both APC and T cells in vivo might be superior, we generated C26 carcinoma cells transduced with the T cell costimulatory molecule OX40 ligand (OX40L) either alone (C26/OX40L) or together with GM-CSF (C26/GM/OX40L), which is known to activate APC.
997 12496388 Tumor rejection required granulocytes, CD4+, CD8+ T cells, and APC-mediated CD40-CD40 ligand cosignaling, but not IFN-gamma or IL-12 as shown using subset-depleted and knockout (KO) mice.
998 12496388 Indeed, CD4+ T cell-depleted mice failed to mount any CTL activity against the C26 tumor, while treatment with agonistic mAb to CD40, which acts on APC, bypassed the requirement for CD4+ T cells and restored CTL activation.

1013 12547595 Upon stimulation by infectious agent products, dendritic cells (DC) become activated, express high levels of class I and class II antigens, CD80, CD86 and CD83 and migrate to secondary lymphoid organs where they can prime naive CD4-helper and CD8-cytotoxic T-cells.
1014 12547595 Cognate CD4(+) T-cell help mediated by CD40L along with DC stimulation with another T-cell effector molecule, termed lymphocyte activated gene-3 (LAG-3 or CD223, a ligand for MHC class II) have been shown to induce this maturation process.
1015 12547595 Both CD40L and LAG-3 have been used as vaccine adjuvants to induce CTL and CD4 Th1 responses.
1016 12547595 LAG-3Ig, unlike CD40L, induced an inflammatory signal in terms of IL-8 and MIP-1alpha/CCL3 production and, in contrast to LPS, induced production of chemokines (MDC/CCL22 and TARC/CCL17) known to direct the migration of maturing DC to lymph nodes.
1017 12547595 In LAG-3-matured DC, surface expression of CCR5 (a receptor for MIP-1alpha/CCL3) was down-regulated and CCR7 (a receptor for MIP-3beta and SLC) was up-regulated.

1037 12547597 The cells were cultured in a serum-free medium with different cytokine combinations including GM-CSF, TNF-alpha, Flt-3, CD40L, IFN-gamma, IL-1alpha, IL-6, PGE1, and IL-4.
1038 12552458 This study shows that human blood monocyte-derived dendritic cells loaded with liposome-complexed HIV-1 proteins and matured with CD40 ligand can prime CD8(+) T cells to HIV-1 in vitro.
1039 12618487 In a previous study we showed that immunization with dendritic cells (DC) pulsed with idiotype (Id) fused with CD40 ligand (CD40L) could break the tolerance to Id which is expressed on B lymphoma cells and restored the responsiveness of T(h) cells, and, subsequently, induced IgG antibody response.
1040 12618487 On examining the mechanism for this isotype change, we found that IFN-gamma production by CD4(+) T cells is not the only determining factor for achieving a successful therapy.
1041 12618487 The deciding factor appears to be the abrogation of IL-4 production that was achieved by combing with IL-12 gene therapy.
1042 12684428 TRANCE- and CD40 ligand-matured dendritic cells reveal MHC class I-restricted T cells specific for autologous tumor in late-stage ovarian cancer patients.
1043 12695492 The two major subsets of invariant NKT cells, CD4+ and double negative (CD4-CD8-), express comparable levels of CD40 ligand and cytokines, but differ in helper functions.
1044 12699364 Cytokine and chemokine combinations can potentially help target antigen to the appropriate antigen presenting cell and initiate maturation of these presenting cells, attract cells expressing different chemokine receptors, steer cellular immune responses toward Th1 and CD8 CTL, and enhance systemic and mucosal IgG and secretory IgA antibodies and determine their isotype balance.
1045 12699364 For example, GM-CSF has been shown to be synergistic with IL-12 or CD40 ligand for induction of CTL and for antiviral protection, and the triple combination of GM-CSF, IL-12, and TNF alpha appears to induce the most effective protection in some mouse models.

1047 12718765 CD40 ligand (CD40L) is a good candidate molecule for the immunotherapy of B cell malignancies including B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), because it may increase the capacity of the malignant cells to present tumor antigens.

1224 15262491 Expression of CD69 and CD25 was diminished in T cells from nonresponders (P < 0.01).
1225 15262491 An elevated correlation coefficient was observed between CD40L on CD4+ cells and antibody production.
1226 15265893 There are two principle subsets of dendritic cells (DCs); CD11c(+)CD123(-) myeloid DCs (MDCs) and CD11c(-)CD123(+) plasmacytoid DCs (PDCs).
1227 15265893 Using lineage (Lin) markers to exclude non-DCs, Lin(-)HLA-DR(+)CD11c(+)CD123(-) MDCs and Lin(-)HLA-DR(+)CD11c(-)CD123(+) PDCs were identified in the blood of uninfected macaques and healthy macaques infected with SIV or simian-human immunodeficiency virus.
1228 15265893 Overnight culture of DC-enriched Lin-depleted cells increased CD80 and CD86 expression.
1229 15265893 IL-12 production and CD80/CD86 expression by MDC/PDC mixtures was further enhanced by CD40L and ISS-ODN treatment.
1230 15265893 A CpG-B ISS-ODN increased CD80/CD86 expression by PDCs, but resulted in little IFN-alpha secretion unless IL-3 was added.
1231 15265893 In contrast, a CpG-C ISS-ODN and aldrithiol-2-inactivated (AT-2) SIV induced considerable PDC activation and IFN-alpha release without needing exogenous IL-3.
1232 15265893 The CpG-C ISS-ODN also stimulated IL-12 release (unlike AT-2 SIV) and augmented DC immunostimulatory activity, increasing SIV-specific T cell IFN-gamma production induced by AT-2 SIV-presenting MDC/PDC-enriched mixtures.
1233 15265893 These data highlight the functional capacities of MDCs and PDCs in naive as well as healthy, infected macaques, revealing a promising CpG-C ISS-ODN-driven DC activation strategy that boosts immune function to augment preventative and therapeutic vaccine efficacy.
1234 15270693 However, the C-terminal portion (amino acids 359-610) stimulates the production of CC chemokines, IL-12 (interleukin-12), TNFalpha(tumour necrosis factor alpha), NO and maturation of dendritic cells and also functions as an adjuvant in the induction of immune responses.
1235 15270693 Since the receptor for HSP70 is CD40, which with its CD40 ligand constitutes a major co-stimulatory pathway in the interaction between antigen-presenting cells and T-cells, HSP70 may function as an alternative ligand to CD40L.
1236 15291346 CD40 ligand (CD40L) was shown to be a promising molecule for immunotherapy of B-CLL playing a critical role in immune activation.
1237 15295005 In the presence of GM-CSF, TNF-alpha, and/or IL-4, leukemia-derived DC are obtained that display features of immature DC (i-DC).
1238 15295005 Using CD40L as maturating agent, we show that leukemic i-DC can differentiate into cells that fulfill the phenotypic criteria of m-DC and, compared with normal counterparts, are functionally competent in vitro in terms of: 1) production of cytokines that support T cell activation and proliferation and drive Th1 polarization; 2) generation of autologous CD8(+) CTLs and CD4(+) T cells that are MHC-restricted and leukemia-specific; 3) migration from tissues to lymph nodes; 4) amplification of Ag presentation by monocyte attraction; 5) attraction of naive/resting and activated T cells.
1239 15300803 Use of adenoviruses encoding CD40L or IL-2 against B cell lymphoma.
1240 15300803 Subcutaneous vaccination with irradiated Ad-mCD40L-infected- or Ad-mIL-2-infected-A20 cells generated A20-specific CD8+ T cell responses and cross reactive A20 Ig antibodies.
1241 15300803 Significant A20-specific CD8+ T cell-mediated cytotoxicity was only demonstrated in splenocytes from these groups of vaccinated animals.
1242 15308378 Coculture of mouse splenic adherent cells with ovalbumin (OVA)-specific Th1 clone (42-6A) cells in the presence of PS-liposomes encapsulating OVA resulted in high levels of IL-12 and IFN-gamma productions compared with those of positively charged or neutral liposomes.
1243 15308378 IL-12 and IFN-gamma productions were dose-dependent on antigens in PS-liposomes.
1244 15308378 IL-12 production, but not IFN-gamma, was completely inhibited by the addition of anti-CD40L mAb.
1245 15308378 These results indicate that PS-liposomes encapsulating antigens could enhance antigen-dependent IL-12 production through the interaction between CD40 on macrophage/dendritic cells and CD40L on 42-6A cells.
1246 15359290 We observed a high level of CD40L protein on purified viral particles and demonstrated that induction of IL-12 by nonreplicating rV-CD40L was blocked by anti-CD40 antibodies suggesting that functional CD40L on viral particles contributed to alterations in IL-12 synthesis.
1247 15471952 When measured in real time, peptide antigen and the cytokines, interleukin 12 (IL-12) and IL-18, independently regulate the on/off kinetics of protective (interferon gamma, tumor necrosis factor alpha) and immunomodulatory (IL-2, CD40L) cytokine production by activated T cells and memory T cells.
1248 15471952 The remarkable differences in effector functions elicited by innate or adaptive signals (IL-12/ IL-18 or peptide, respectively) illustrate the complex and stringent regulation of cytokine expression by CD8(+) T cells.

1262 15542201 The co-administration of costimulatory molecules CD80 (B7-1), CD86 (B7-2) and CD154 (CD40L) has been shown to enhance immune responses in several murine models.

1264 15542201 Two independent trials were conducted in cattle to determine the adjuvant effect of encoded antigen + CD80/CD86 and directly compare the adjuvant activities of CD80/CD86 to those of CD154.

1303 15565183 Intratumoral administration of immature dendritic cells following the adenovirus vector encoding CD40 ligand elicits significant regression of established myeloma.
1304 15565183 The potent antitumor effect produced by the combination therapy correlated with high expression of MHC, costimulatory and Fas molecules on J558 cells, which was derived from CD40L transgene expression.
1305 15565183 Finally, in vivo depletion experimentation suggested both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were involved in mediating the antitumor immune responses of combined treatment of AdVCD40L and iDCs, with CD8+ T cells being the major effector.

1309 15609235 Herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 2-specific CD4(+) and CD8(+) T lymphocytes differ with regard to their homing kinetics to infected tissues.
1310 15609235 We studied the expression of cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen (CLA) and E-selectin ligand (ESL) by HSV-2-specific CD4(+) T lymphocytes.
1311 15609235 Virus-reactive T lymphocytes were identified ex vivo by CD154 or interferon-gamma up-regulation.
1312 15609235 We detected selective expression of CLA by HSV-2-reactive CD4(+) T lymphocytes, but at levels lower than those we previously observed for CD8(+) T lymphocytes.
1313 15609235 Short-term HSV-2-reactive CD4(+) lines generated from peripheral-blood mononuclear cells preferentially express CLA, compared with cytomegalovirus- or influenza-specific cells.
1314 15650233 Here we shall review the work carried out in our lab in recent years and show that NB cells express tumor-associated antigens, such as MAGE-3, but lack constitutive expression of costimulatory molecules and surface HLA class I and II molecules.
1315 15650233 Notably, in vitro experiments with NB cell lines demonstrated that surface HLA class I molecules and the CD40 costimulatory molecule were upregulated following cell incubation with recombinant interferon-gamma.
1316 15650233 Interaction of CD40 with recombinant CD40 ligand induced apoptosis of NB cells through a caspase 8-dependent mechanism.
1317 15653438 Using one CpG-ODN, DSP30, we observed that it could upregulate not only Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) mRNA expression in activated B-cells, but also the early expression of CD69 followed by the sequential expression of CD80, CD86 and the nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB pathway.
1318 15653438 Furthermore, mRNA expression of certain B-cell-derived cytokines was influenced by exposure to DSP30, with a strong upregulation of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and downregulation of IL1-beta.
1319 15653438 Stimulation of B-cells, co-stimulated with IL-2, IL-10 and soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) with different CpG-ODNs, had differing effects on the terminal differentiation in vitro of B-cells into immunoglobulin-secreting cells.
1320 15730392 Mature dendritic cells differentiated in the presence of interferon-beta and interleukin-3 prime functional antigen-specific CD8 T cells.
1321 15730392 Monocytes incubated in the presence of interferon (IFN)-beta and interleukin (IL)-3 give rise to a distinct type of DCs (IFN-beta/IL-3 DCs) that are particularly efficient at eliciting IFN-gamma and IL-5 production by allogeneic helper T cells.
1322 15730392 We assessed the capacity of this new type of DCs to prime antigen-specific naive CD8(+) T cells and compared them to the conventional DCs differentiated in the presence of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and IL-4 (GM-CSF/IL-4 DCs).
1323 15730392 We demonstrate that IFN-beta/IL-3 DCs matured by TLR3 or CD40 ligation efficiently prime Melan-A(26-35)-specific CD8(+) T cells in vitro, at a similar level as GM-CSF/IL-4 DCs.
1324 15730392 Activated antigen-specific CD8(+) T cells produced IFN-gamma and displayed potent cytotoxic activity against peptide-pulsed target cells.
1325 15730392 Expansion of CD8(+) T cell numbers was generally higher following priming with CD40-L than with polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) matured DCs.
1326 15730392 These data indicate that IFN-beta/IL-3 DCs represent a promising cell population for the immunotherapy of cancer.
1327 15753654 Here, the efficiency of DC transduction by Ad vectors retargeted to DC-specific ICAM-3 grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) was studied and compared to that of Ad vectors retargeted through CD40.
1328 15753654 A comparable and significant enhancement of gene transfer to monocyte derived DCs (MDDCs) was accomplished by means of an Ad vector harboring the Fc-binding domain of Staphylococcus aureus protein A in combination with antibodies to DC-SIGN or to CD40 or with fused complexes of human Ig-Fc with their natural ligands, i.e., ICAM-3 or CD40L, respectively.
1329 15753654 Whereas CD40-targeted Ad transduction resulted in a more profound phenotypic DC maturation, DC-SIGN- and CD40-targeted Ad both induced similar levels of IL-12 secretion.
1330 15812230 Nonreplicating recombinant vaccinia virus expressing CD40 ligand enhances APC capacity to stimulate specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses.
1331 15812230 Recently, we and others have demonstrated, in vitro and in vivo, that coexpression of CD80 and CD86 costimulatory molecules enhances the immunogenic capacity of a recombinant vaccinia virus (rVV) encoding different tumor-associated antigens.
1332 15812230 To further investigate the capacity of these vectors to provide ligands for different costimulatory pathways relevant in the generation of T cell responses, we constructed a recombinant virus (rVV) expressing CD40 ligand or CD154 (CD154rVV).
1333 15812230 Upon binding the CD40 receptor expressed on antigen presenting cells (APC), this molecule, physiologically expressed on activated CD4+ T cells, increases their antigen presentation and immunostimulatory capacities.
1334 15812230 CD154rVV infection of autologous fibroblasts, monocytes, or iDC promoted the expression of a number of cytokines, including GM-CSF, TNF-alpha, and IL-15 in iDC.
1335 15812230 Most importantly, IL-12 p40 gene expression and protein secretion were induced by CD154rVV but not by wild-type VV (WT VV) in either CD14+ cells or iDC, and these effects could be blocked by anti-CD40 monoclonal antibodies.
1336 15812230 Furthermore, phenotypic characterization of CD154rVV infected iDC revealed enhanced expression of CD83 and CD86 surface markers as compared with wild-type vaccinia virus infection.
1337 15812230 However, cytokine genes typically expressed by T cell receptor triggered T cells such as those encoding IL-2 and IFN-gamma, or T cell proliferation, were detectable to a significantly higher extent in CD154rVV infected cultures, as compared with WT VV.
1338 15812230 Activation of specific CD8+ T cells was then investigated using MART-1/Melan-A(27-35) epitope as the model of tumor-associated antigen (TAA).
1339 15812230 Nonreplicating recombinant vaccinia virus expressing CD40 ligand enhances APC capacity to stimulate specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses.
1340 15812230 Recently, we and others have demonstrated, in vitro and in vivo, that coexpression of CD80 and CD86 costimulatory molecules enhances the immunogenic capacity of a recombinant vaccinia virus (rVV) encoding different tumor-associated antigens.
1341 15812230 To further investigate the capacity of these vectors to provide ligands for different costimulatory pathways relevant in the generation of T cell responses, we constructed a recombinant virus (rVV) expressing CD40 ligand or CD154 (CD154rVV).
1342 15812230 Upon binding the CD40 receptor expressed on antigen presenting cells (APC), this molecule, physiologically expressed on activated CD4+ T cells, increases their antigen presentation and immunostimulatory capacities.
1343 15812230 CD154rVV infection of autologous fibroblasts, monocytes, or iDC promoted the expression of a number of cytokines, including GM-CSF, TNF-alpha, and IL-15 in iDC.
1344 15812230 Most importantly, IL-12 p40 gene expression and protein secretion were induced by CD154rVV but not by wild-type VV (WT VV) in either CD14+ cells or iDC, and these effects could be blocked by anti-CD40 monoclonal antibodies.
1345 15812230 Furthermore, phenotypic characterization of CD154rVV infected iDC revealed enhanced expression of CD83 and CD86 surface markers as compared with wild-type vaccinia virus infection.
1346 15812230 However, cytokine genes typically expressed by T cell receptor triggered T cells such as those encoding IL-2 and IFN-gamma, or T cell proliferation, were detectable to a significantly higher extent in CD154rVV infected cultures, as compared with WT VV.
1347 15812230 Activation of specific CD8+ T cells was then investigated using MART-1/Melan-A(27-35) epitope as the model of tumor-associated antigen (TAA).
1348 15837371 However, CD40mAbs are effective adjuvants in CD154-/- mice, indicating that the antibodies are able to provide the CD40 stimulus to B cells which is naturally lacking in these mice.

1351 15905566 The correct interaction of a costimulatory molecule such as CD40L with its contrareceptor CD40 expressed on the membrane of professional APCs, provides transmembrane signaling that leads to APC activation.
1352 15905566 Therefore, we investigated whether a novel intranasal delivery of immune-reconstituted influenza virosomes (IRIV), assembled with the CD40L gene (CD40L/IRIV), could be used to improve protective immunity and the Ag-specific CTL response against carcinoembryonic Ag (CEA) generated with a novel vaccine constituted of IRIV assembled with the CEA gene (CEA/IRIV).

1443 16303787 Maturation of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs) in the presence of prostaglandin E2 optimizes CD4 and CD8 T cell-mediated responses to protein antigens: role of PGE2 in chemokine and cytokine expression by MoDCs.
1444 16303787 We demonstrate here that the addition of PGE2 to TNF for the maturation of MoDCs enhanced CD4 and CD8 T cell proliferative responses to neoantigen and recall antigen, and enhanced Th1-type responses.
1445 16303787 The increased stimulatory capacity of MoDCs matured with PGE2 was associated with a fully mature, migratory-type MoDC phenotype and more rapid down-regulation of the expression of inflammatory chemokines, with up-regulated expression of the constitutive chemokines TARC and MDC.
1446 16303787 In addition, although MoDCs matured with TNF and PGE2 selectively produced the inhibitory IL-12p40 subunit at steady state, they were able to produce the bioactive IL-12p70 heterodimer after stimulation with CD40 ligand and/or IFN-gamma.
1447 16303787 Despite increased IL-6 mRNA expression, MoDCs matured with PGE2 did not overcome the suppressive effects of CD4+ CD25+ T cells in allogeneic mixed lymphocyte reactions.

1532 16889876 Important features for their efficacy include high migratory responsiveness to lymph node-chemokines and most likely their ability to produce bioactive IL-12 p70 upon subsequent contact with CD40 ligand-expressing T-cells.
1533 16889876 The current standard DC-maturation cocktail for clinical trials is inflammatory cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-1beta and IL-6) combined with prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), inducing phenotypically mature MoDCs with high migratory responsiveness to CCR7 ligands.
1534 16889876 This cocktail does not, however, induce or prime for production of IL-12 p70.
1535 16889876 Addition of IFN-gamma to PGE(2)-containing maturation cocktails has been shown to prime for substantial production of IL-12 p70 by subsequent CD40 ligation, but the impact of IFN-gamma on phenotypic maturation and migratory responsiveness induced by PGE(2)-containing inflammatory stimuli still remains elusive.
1536 16889876 Here, we demonstrate that addition of IFN-gamma to the standard maturation cocktail decreased CCR7 mRNA and down-regulated CCR7 expression on MoDCs in a dose-dependent manner.
1537 16889876 Moreover, addition of IFN-gamma was found to suppress MoDC-migration towards the CCR7-ligands CCL19 and CCL21.

1583 17081609 Immunization of cattle with a Leptospira borgpetersenii serovar hardjo-bovis vaccine results in the development of a recall response by WC1(+) gammadelta T cells and CD4(+) alphabeta T cells characterized by proliferation and interferon-gamma production.
1584 17081609 Both T cell populations had similar transcript profiles for effector molecules, including IFN-gamma, FasL and granzyme B.
1585 17081609 In contrast, transcripts for costimulatory receptors and ligands were notably different following activation, as WC1(+) T cells expressed no or lower levels of transcripts for CD28 and CD40L, while CD4(+) T cells expressed substantial levels of both.
1586 17081609 These results strengthen the hypothesis that these particular activated WC1(+) and CD4(+) T cells have overlapping effector functions and therefore may differ principally with regard to how they are recruited into immune responses.

1766 19017930 Cutting edge: CD4+ T cell-derived IL-2 is essential for help-dependent primary CD8+ T cell responses.
1767 19017930 CD4(+) T cell help is essential for primary CD8(+) T cell responses to noninflammatory Ags.
1768 19017930 IL-2 is one of the principal cytokines made by naive CD4(+) T cells, and we show in this study that it is an essential component of help.
1769 19017930 Adoptively transferred naive CD4(+) TCR-transgenic OT-II cells supported endogenous primary CD8(+) T cell responses, but IL-2-deficient OT-II cells were unable to provide help, although they responded to Ag in vivo and up-regulated CD40 ligand in vitro.
1770 19017930 Wild -type OT-II cells helped endogenous CD8(+) T cell responses in IL-2-deficient mice, but not in IL-2Ralpha-deficient mice.
1771 19017930 Thus, CD4(+) T cell-derived IL-2 is essential for CD8(+) T cell responses to noninflammatory, cell-associated Ags.
1772 19017930 We suggest that it is also a critical component of help for CD8(+) T cell responses to pathogens, because protective memory also requires CD8(+) T cell stimulation by IL-2 during priming.

1798 19050242 A novel ICOS-independent, but CD28- and SAP-dependent, pathway of T cell-dependent, polysaccharide-specific humoral immunity in response to intact Streptococcus pneumoniae versus pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.
1799 19050242 Polysaccharide (PS)- and protein-specific murine IgG responses to intact Streptococcus pneumoniae (Pn) are both dependent on CD4(+) T cell help, B7-dependent costimulation, and CD40/CD40 ligand interactions.
1800 19050242 We now demonstrate that ICOS(-/-), relative to wild-type, mice elicit a normal PS-specific IgG isotype response to Pn, despite marked inhibition of both the primary and secondary IgG anti-protein (i.e., PspA, PspC, and PsaA) response.
1801 19050242 Finally, although mice that lack the adaptor molecule SAP (SLAM-associated protein) resemble ICOS(-/-) mice (and can exhibit decreased ICOS expression), we observe that the PS-specific, as well as protein-specific, IgG responses to both Pn and conjugate are markedly defective in SAP(-/-) mice.
1802 19050242 These data define a novel T cell-, SAP-, and B7-dependent, but ICOS-independent, extrafollicular pathway of Ig induction.

1810 19524453 The role of CD40 and CD154/CD40L in dendritic cells.
1811 19539498 It is well recognized that activation of CD40 on antigen presenting cells by its ligand, CD154, expressed on T-lymphocytes, contributes to the pro-inflammatory response necessary for eradication of infection, yet pathological in autoimmunity.
1812 19539498 While the exact role of CD40 on CD8 T cells remains controversial, it does appear to contribute to the adaptive immune response against infection.
1813 19539498 CD40 on CD4 T cells, on the other hand, plays a functional role in the autoimmune disease process.

1841 20072155 Selective elimination of a chemoresistant side population of B-CLL cells by cytotoxic T lymphocytes in subjects receiving an autologous hCD40L/IL-2 tumor vaccine.
1842 20072155 To discover whether drug-resistant malignant SP cells are nonetheless sensitive to immune-mediated killing, we first established the presence of a malignant CD5(+)CD19(+) SP subset in the blood of 18/21 subjects with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL).
1843 20072155 We examined the fate of these cells in six of these individuals who received autologous human CD40 ligand and interleukin-2 (hCD40L/IL-2) gene-modified tumor cells as part of a tumor vaccine study.
1844 20072155 Vaccinated patients showed an increase in B-CLL-reactive T cells followed by a corresponding decline in circulating CD5(+)CD19(+) SP cells.
1845 20072155 Elimination of SP cells is likely triggered by their increased expression of target antigens, such as receptor for hyaluronan-mediated motility (RHAMM), after stimulation of the malignant cells by hCD40L, as CD8(+) RHAMM-specific T cells could be detected in the peripheral blood of immunized patients and were associated with the decline in B-CLL SP cells.

1856 20079918 Exacerbation of corneal scarring in HSV-1 gK-immunized mice correlates with elevation of CD8+CD25+ T cells in corneas of ocularly infected mice.
1857 20079918 Infiltration of the cornea by CD4+, CD8+, CD25+, CD4+CD25+, CD8+CD25+, CD19+, CD40+, CD40L+, CD62L+, CD95+, B7-1+, B7-2+, MHC-I+, and MHC-II+ cells was monitored by immunohistochemistry, qRT-PCR and FACS at various times post-infection (PI).
1858 20079918 This study demonstrated for the first time that the presence of CD8+CD25+ T cells in the cornea is correlated with exacerbation of CS in the gK-immunized group.
1859 20156531 Among the combinations of several immune-modulating factors with known effects on DC maturation, we found that stepwise DC maturation with cytokine cocktail (TNF-alpha+IL-6+IL-1 beta+PGE(2)) followed by poly(I:C) stimulation enhanced the production of IL-12 with strong allostimulatory capacity.
1860 20156531 While there were no significant differences between DC matured by simultaneous or sequential activation by cytokine cocktail and poly(I:C) in expression of markers and costimulatory molecules of mature DCs, the delivery of inflammatory signal prior to poly(I:C) results in sustained interleukin-12 expression with reduced IL-10 than DC matured by simultaneous stimulation.
1861 20156531 This sequential stimulation significantly increased migratory capacity in response to CCL21 and CXCL12 compared to DC matured with cytokine cocktail.
1862 20156531 Furthermore, these DCs retained their responsiveness to CD40L stimulation in secondary IL-12 production and efficiently generated autologous antigen-specific effector T cells as evidenced by ELISPOT assay.

1989 21460206 Prolonged antitumor NK cell reactivity elicited by CXCL10-expressing dendritic cells licensed by CD40L+ CD4+ memory T cells.
1990 21460206 One month after DC immunization, injection of a tumor into DC-immunized mice leads to an increase in the expression of CXCL10 by endogenous DCs, thus directing NK cells into the white pulp where the endogenous DCs bridged CD4(+) T(EM) cells and NK cells.
1991 21460206 In this interaction, CD4(+) T(EM) cells express CD40L, which matures the endogenous DCs, and produce cytokines, such as IL-2, which activates NK cells.

2135 23200882 Monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) used for immunotherapy e.g. against cancer are commonly matured by pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6) and prostaglandin E(2) although the absence of Toll-like receptor mediated activation prevents secretion of IL-12 from DCs and subsequent efficient induction of type 1 effector T cells.
2136 23200882 Standard matured clinical grade DCs "sDCs" were compared with DCs matured with either of two type 1 polarizing maturation cocktails; the alpha-type-1 DCs "αDC1s" (TNF-α, IL-1β, IFN-γ, IFN-α, Poly(I:C)) and "mDCs" (monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL), IFN-γ) or a mixed cocktail - "mpDCs", containing MPL, IFN-γ and PGE(2). αDC1s and mDCs secreted IL-12 directly and following re-stimulation with CD40L-expressing cells and they mainly secreted the T effector cell attracting chemokines CXCL10 and CCL5 as opposed to sDCs that mainly secreted CCL22, known to attract regulatory T cells. αDC1s and mDCs were functionally superior to sDCs as they polarized naïve CD4(+) T cells most efficiently into T helper type 1 effector cells and primed more functional MART-1 specific CD8(+) T cells although with variation between donors. αDC1s and mDCs were transiently less capable of CCL21-directed transwell migration than standard matured DCs, likely due to their increased secretion of CCL19, which mediate internalization of CCR7. mpDCs were intermediate between standard and polarized DCs both in terms of IL-12 secretion and transwell migratory ability but functionally they resembled sDCs and strikingly had the highest expression of the inhibitory molecules PD-L1 and CD25.
2137 23238593 A vaccine platform has been created by attaching the target-associated antigen (TAA) for the vaccine to the extracellular domain (ecd) of the potent immunostimulatory signal CD40 ligand (CD40L).
2138 23238593 Attachment of the TAA to the CD40L promotes uptake of the TAA into dendritic cells (DCs), binding to Class I as well as Class II MHC leading to presentation of the TAA on the DCs, expansion of the TAA-specific B cell and CD8 effector T-cell lymphocytes, and induction of a memory response.

2421 25247707 Here, we found that Env-APRIL signaled through the two receptors, BCMA and TACI.
2422 25247707 Thus, in contrast to the 4-helix cytokines IL-21 and GM-CSF, the TNF-superfamily members CD40L and APRIL induced negligible autoantibodies.
2423 25520147 The CD4 T cell cytokine response (IFN-γ, interleukin-2 [IL-2], interleukin-17A [IL-17A], interleukin-22 [IL-22], granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor [GM-CSF], and tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-α]) and surface marker expression (CD27, CXCR3, and CD154) were then measured.
2424 25520147 We found that the proportion of PPD-specific CD4 T cells, defined as CD154(+) TNF-α(+) cells that were negative for CD27 and positive for GM-CSF, gave the strongest discrimination between subjects with latent and those with active TB (area under the receiver operator characteristic [ROC] curve of 0.9277; P < 0.0001).
2425 25520147 Also, the proportions and absolute numbers of HBHA-specific CD4 T cells were significantly higher in those with latent TB infection, particularly CD154(+) TNF-α(+) IFN-γ(+) IL-2(+) and CD154(+) TNF-α(+) CXCR3(+).

2432 25536171 B cell TLR1/2, TLR4, TLR7 and TLR9 interact in induction of class switch DNA recombination: modulation by BCR and CD40, and relevance to T-independent antibody responses.
2433 25536171 Here, we have addressed cross-regulation between two different TLRs or between a TLR and CD40 in CSR induction by using a B cell stimulation system involving lipopolysaccharides (LPS).
2434 25536171 Consistent with the requirement for dual TLR and BCR engagement in CSR induction, LPS, which engages TLR4 through its lipid A moiety, triggered cytosolic Ca2+ flux in B cells through its BCR-engaging polysaccharidic moiety.
2435 25536171 In the presence of BCR crosslinking, LPS synergized with a TLR1/2 ligand (Pam3CSK4) in CSR induction, but much less efficiently with a TLR7 (R-848) or TLR9 (CpG) ligand.
2436 25536171 In the absence of BCR crosslinking, R-848 and CpG, which per se induced marginal CSR, virtually abrogated CSR to IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG3 and/or IgA, as induced by LPS or CD154 (CD40 ligand) plus IL-4, IFN-γ or TGF-β, and reduced secretion of class-switched Igs, without affecting B cell proliferation or IgM expression.
2437 25536171 The CSR inhibition by TLR9 was associated with the reduction in AID expression and/or IgH germline IH-S-CH transcription, and required co-stimulation of B cells by CpG with LPS or CD154.
2438 25536171 Unexpectedly, B cells also failed to undergo CSR or plasma cell differentiation when co-stimulated by LPS and CD154.
2439 25536171 Overall, by addressing the interaction of TLR1/2, TLR4, TLR7 and TLR9 in the induction of CSR and modulation of TLR-dependent CSR by BCR and CD40, our study suggests the complexity of how different stimuli cross-regulate an important B cell differentiation process and an important role of TLRs in inducing effective T-independent antibody responses to microbial pathogens, allergens and vaccines.

2456 25595261 The rat susceptibility to EAE induction, as well as the number of activated CD4+CD134+ lymphocytes retrieved from their spinal cords progressively decreased with aging.
2457 25595261 To the contrary, in rats immunized for EAE the number of activated CD4+ splenocytes, i.e., CD4+CD134+, CD4+CD25+FoxP3- and CD4+CD40L+ cells, progressively increased with aging.
2458 25595261 This was associated with age-related increase in (i) CD4+ splenocyte surface expression of CD44, the molecule suggested to be involved in limiting emigration of encephalitogenic CD4+ cells from spleen into blood and (ii) frequency of regulatory T cells, including CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ cells, which are also shown to control encephalitogenic cell migration from spleen into the central nervous system.
2459 25595261 In favor of expansion of T-regulatory cell pool in aged rats was the greater concentration of IL-10 in unstimulated, Concanavalin A (ConA)- and myelin basic protein (MBP)-stimulated splenocyte cultures from aged rats compared with the corresponding cultures from young ones.
2460 25595261 Consistent with the age-related increase in the expression of CD44, which is shown to favor Th1 effector cell survival by interfering with CD95-mediated signaling, the frequency of apoptotic cells among CD4+ splenocytes, despite the greater frequency of CD95+ cells, was diminished in splenocyte cultures from aged compared with young rats.
2461 25595261 In addition, in control, as well as in ConA- and MBP-stimulated splenocyte cultures from aged rats, despite of impaired CD4+ cell proliferation, IFN-γ concentrations were greater than in corresponding cultures from young rats.
2462 25595261 The diminished CD4+ cell proliferation in response to ConA and MBP in splenocyte cultures from aged compared with young rats could be, at least partly, associated with an enhanced splenic expression of iNOS mRNA in aged rats.

2465 25780036 CD4+ T cell-derived IL-21 and deprivation of CD40 signaling favor the in vivo development of granzyme B-expressing regulatory B cells in HIV patients.
2466 25780036 In this article, we demonstrate that untreated HIV patients display CD4(+) T cells with enhanced IL-21 expression and high in vivo frequencies of regulatory B cells overexpressing the serine protease granzyme B.
2467 25780036 Granzyme B-expressing regulatory B cells (GraB cells) cells from HIV patients exhibit increased expression of CD5, CD43, CD86, and CD147 but do not produce IL-10.

2469 25780036 When culturing such IL-21(+)CD40L(-) Th cells with B cells, the former directly induce B cell differentiation into GraB cells.
2470 25780036 In contrast, the addition of soluble CD40L multimers to T cell/B cell cultures redirects B cell differentiation toward plasma cells, indicating that CD40L determines the direction of IL-21-dependent B cell differentiation.

2484 25819159 CTL and NK cell activities of splenocytes and infiltration of CD11c(+) DCs, and CD4(+) and CD8a(+) T cells into tumor tissues were upregulated in the s.c. administered DNA vaccine group (P<0.05), which was consistent with i.p. administration.

2493 25941601 XBP1-CTL were enriched withCD45RO+ memory CTL, which showed high expression of critical T cell markers (CD28, ICOS, CD69, CD40L), cell proliferation and antitumor activities as compared to CD45RO- non-memory CTL.
2494 25941601 The effector memory (EM: CD45RO+CCR7-) subset had the highest level of cell proliferation while the central memory (CM: CD45RO+CCR7+) subset demonstrated enhanced functional activities (CD107a degranulation, IFNγ/IL-2 production) upon recognition of the respective tumor cells.
2495 25941601 The highest frequencies of IFNγ or granzyme B producing cells were detected within CM XBP1-CTL subset that were either Tbet+ or Eomes+ in responding to the tumor cells.These results demonstrate the immunotherapeutic potential of a cocktail of immunogenic HLA-A2 specific heteroclitic XBP1 US184-192 and heteroclictic XBP1 SP367-375 peptides to induce CD3+CD8+ CTL enriched for CM and EM cells with specific antitumor activities against a variety of solid tumors.

2503 26241951 A multi-trimeric fusion of CD40L and gp100 tumor antigen activates dendritic cells and enhances survival in a B16-F10 melanoma DNA vaccine model.
2504 26241951 The spontaneously-multimerizing gene Surfactant Protein D (SPD) was used to fuse gp100 tumor antigen and CD40L, creating the recombinant protein SPD-gp100-CD40L.

2506 26241951 These data support a model where DNA vaccination with SPD-gp100-CD40L targets gp100 to DC in situ, induces activation of these DC, and generates a protective anti-tumor response when given in combination with IL-12p70 and GM-CSF plasmids.

2512 26297758 Vaccination Produces CD4 T Cells with a Novel CD154-CD40-Dependent Cytolytic Mechanism.
2513 26297758 We demonstrate that immunization with a recombinant protein Ag and GLA-SE also induces granzyme A expression in CD4 T cells and produces cytolytic cells that can be detected in vivo.
2514 26297758 Surprisingly, these in vivo CTLs were CD4 T cells, not CD8 T cells, and this cytolytic activity was not dependent on granzyme A/B or perforin.
2515 26297758 Unlike previously reported CD4 CTLs, the transcription factors Tbet and Eomes were not necessary for their development.
2516 26297758 CTL activity was also independent of the Fas ligand-Fas, TRAIL-DR5, and canonical death pathways, indicating a novel mechanism of CTL activity.
2517 26297758 Rather, the in vivo CD4 CTL activity induced by vaccination required T cell expression of CD154 (CD40L) and target cell expression of CD40.
2518 26297758 Thus, vaccination with a TLR4 agonist adjuvant induces CD4 CTLs, which kill through a previously unknown CD154-dependent mechanism.

2526 26297758 Vaccination Produces CD4 T Cells with a Novel CD154-CD40-Dependent Cytolytic Mechanism.
2527 26297758 We demonstrate that immunization with a recombinant protein Ag and GLA-SE also induces granzyme A expression in CD4 T cells and produces cytolytic cells that can be detected in vivo.
2528 26297758 Surprisingly, these in vivo CTLs were CD4 T cells, not CD8 T cells, and this cytolytic activity was not dependent on granzyme A/B or perforin.
2529 26297758 Unlike previously reported CD4 CTLs, the transcription factors Tbet and Eomes were not necessary for their development.
2530 26297758 CTL activity was also independent of the Fas ligand-Fas, TRAIL-DR5, and canonical death pathways, indicating a novel mechanism of CTL activity.
2531 26297758 Rather, the in vivo CD4 CTL activity induced by vaccination required T cell expression of CD154 (CD40L) and target cell expression of CD40.
2532 26297758 Thus, vaccination with a TLR4 agonist adjuvant induces CD4 CTLs, which kill through a previously unknown CD154-dependent mechanism.
2533 26324768 FOXP3/NFAT interaction is required to repress expression of IL-2, upregulate expression of the Treg markers CTLA4 and CD25, and confer suppressor function to Tregs.
2534 26324768 Specific inhibition of FOXP3/NFAT interaction with this inhibitory peptide revealed that FOXP3 downregulates NFAT-driven promoter activity of CD40L and IL-17.
2535 26324768 Inhibition of FOXP3/NFAT interaction upregulated CD40L expression on effector T cells and enhanced T cell proliferation and IL-2, IFN-γ, IL-6, or IL-17 production in response to TCR stimulation.
2536 26405571 In an attempt to further improve the therapeutic responses, we treated 15 patients with melanoma, with autologous monocyte-derived immature DC electroporated with mRNA encoding CD40 ligand (CD40L), CD70 and a constitutively active TLR4 (caTLR4) together with mRNA encoding a tumor-associated antigen (TAA; respectively gp100 or tyrosinase).
2537 26405571 In conclusion, autologous mRNA-optimized DC can be safely administered intranodally to patients with metastatic melanoma but showed limited immunological responses against tyrosinase and gp100.
2538 26465323 Specifically, Th1-specific cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-2, TNF-α), CD40 ligand and the Th1 lineage-specifying transcription factor Tbet were determined upon stimulation with peptides covering the TBEV structural proteins contained in the vaccine (C-capsid, prM/M-membrane and E-envelope).
2539 26466957 We developed a flow cytometric assay to profile CD1-restricted T cells ex vivo and assessed T cell responses to five cell wall lipid Ags in a cross-sectional study of 19 M. tuberculosis-infected and 22 M. tuberculosis-uninfected South African adolescents.
2540 26466957 We show that CD1b-restricted T cells producing antimycobacterial cytokines IFN-γ and TNF-α are detectable ex vivo in CD4(+), CD8(+), and CD4(-)CD8(-) T cell subsets.
2541 26466957 Glucose monomycolate was immunodominant among lipid Ags tested, and polyfunctional CD4 T cells specific for this lipid simultaneously expressed CD40L, IFN-γ, IL-2, and TNF-α.
