443 9199462 A murine model of pneumonia due to the mouse pneumonitis agent (MoPn [murine Chlamydia trachomatis]) in mice deficient in CD4+ T-cell function (major histocompatibility complex [MHC] class II function [class II-/-], CD8+ T-cell function (beta2-microglobulin deficient, MHC class I deficient [Beta2m-/-]), B-cell function (C57BL/10J-Igh(tm1Cgn) [Igh-/-]), and gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) (C57BL/6-Ifg(tm1) [Ifg-/-]) or interleukin-4 (C57BL/6J(tm1Cgn29) [IL4-/-]) production was employed to determine if each of these mechanisms was critical to resistance against reinfection by C. trachomatis or if alternate compensatory mechanisms existed in their absence which could potentially be exploited in vaccine development.
444 9199462 CD4 T-cell-deficient MHC class II-/- mice were very susceptible to reinfection with MoPn, showing the critical importance of this cell to resistance.
445 9199462 These mice lacked antibody production but did produce IFN-gamma, apparently by mechanisms involving NK and CD8+ T cells.
446 9199462 Levels of lung IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha were elevated in Igh-/- mice compared to those in controls.
447 9199462 Of most importance, however, congenitally IFN-gamma-deficient Ifg-/- mice (which have elevated levels of other cytokines, including TNF-alpha and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor) are paradoxically more resistant to MoPn rechallenge than controls, showing that IFN-gamma is not an absolute requirement for acquired resistance and implying the presence of very effective compensatory host defense mechanism(s).
448 9199462 Thus, resistance to reinfection in this model is flexible and multifactorial and is heavily dependent on CD4+ T cells, with a probable role for IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha and a possible modest role for Th1-dependent antibody.
449 9199462 Since IFN-gamma was dispensable in host defense, the highly effective mechanism or mechanisms which can compensate for its absence (which include TNF-alpha) deserve further study.
450 9205055 Protective immunity induced by tumor vaccines requires interaction between CD40 and its ligand, CD154.
451 9205055 Interactions between CD40 and its ligand, CD154 (CD40L, gp39), have been shown to play a central role in the regulation of humoral immunity.
452 9205055 The contribution of this ligand-receptor pair to the development of protective immunity against syngeneic tumors was evaluated by blocking the in vivo function of CD154 or by studying tumor resistance in mice genetically deficient in CD40 expression (CD40-/-).
453 9205055 In the former case, anti-CD154 monoclonal antibody treatment inhibited the generation of protective immune responses after the administration of three potent tumor vaccines: irradiated MCA 105, MCA 105 admixed with Corynebacterium parvum adjuvant, and irradiated B16 melanoma cells transduced with the gene for granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor.
454 9205055 Confirmation of the role of CD40/CD154 interactions in tumor immunity was provided by the overt tumor susceptibility in CD40-deficient mice as compared to that in CD40+/+ mice.
455 9205055 These findings suggest a critical role for CD40/CD154 interactions in the induction of cellular immunity by tumor vaccines and may have important implications for future approaches to cell-based cancer therapies.

611 9454900 Immunomodulatory properties of the antineoplastic drugs were evaluated i) by monitoring drug effects on the generation of tumor-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) in response to GM-CSF-secreting CT26 vaccine administration, ii) by determining drug effects on the resistance of vaccinated animals to subsequent challenge with lethal inoculac of CT26 cells, and iii) by evaluating combination drug and vaccine treatment efficacy against established CT26 tumors.
612 9485028 The Her-2/neu oncogene encodes a Mr 185,000 transmembrane protein with homology to the epidermal growth factor receptor.
613 9485028 CTLs induced with DCs generated in the presence of TNF-alpha elicited a higher cytotoxic activity when they were stimulated with the cognate peptide than did CTLs induced with DCs grown in granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor and interleukin 4 alone.
614 9485028 Furthermore, these CTLs lysed, in a MHC- and antigen-restricted fashion, not only breast cancer cells but also colon carcinoma and RCC cell lines expressing Her-2/neu.
615 9500607 In the present clinical pilot study, DCs were generated in the presence of granulocyte/macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin 4 (IL-4) and were pulsed with tumor lysate or a cocktail of peptides known to be recognized by CTLs, depending on the patient's HLA haplotype.

620 9541605 Recently we and others reported that specific immune responses generated by DNA vaccine could be modulated by co-delivery of gene expression cassettes encoding for IL-12, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and the co-stimulatory molecule CD86.
621 9541605 To further engineer the immune response in vivo, we investigated the induction and regulation of immune responses following the co-delivery of pro-inflammatory cytokine (IL-1 alpha, TNF-alpha, and TNF-beta), Th1 cytokine (IL-2, IL-12, IL-15, and IL-18), and Th2 cytokine (IL-4, IL-5 and IL-10) genes.
622 9541605 We observed enhancement of antigen-specific humoral response with the co-delivery of Th2 cytokine genes IL-4, IL-5, and IL-10 as well as those of IL-2 and IL-18.
623 9541605 A dramatic increase in antigen-specific T helper cell proliferation was seen with IL-2 and TNF-alpha gene co-injections.
624 9541605 In addition, we observed a significant enhancement of the cytotoxic response with the co-administration of TNF-alpha and IL-15 genes with HIV-1 DNA immunogens.
625 9551367 We have evaluated the abilities of a series of defined synthetic peptide epitopes derived from MART-1/Melan-A, gp100, tyrosinase, and MAGE-3 or unfractionated peptides naturally presented by melanoma MHC molecules to elicit HLA-A2-restricted and melanoma-reactive CTLs from the peripheral blood of normal donors or patients with metastatic melanoma.
626 9551367 Autologous peripheral blood dendritic cells (DCs), which were easily generated from all donors when cultured in the presence of recombinant human interleukin-4 and recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor were pulsed with melanoma peptides and used to "prime" and/or "boost" CTL cultures in vitro.
627 9551367 Our results suggest that antimelanoma CTLs may be reproducibly generated in short-term in vitro cultures in this manner using either a subset of the defined synthetic peptides (MART-1/Melan-A27-35, MART-1/Melan-A32-40, gp100(280-288), tyrosinase368-376, and MAGE-3(271-279)) or unfractionated peptides (containing both idiotypic and shared melanoma epitopes) derived from freshly isolated autologous melanoma lesions.
628 9570300 Hepatoma cells, derived from ASV-B transgenic mice, were gene-transduced to express either interleukin-2, interleukin-4, the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, or the T-cell costimulatory molecule B7.1.
629 9573027 We have recently found in normal human marrow a subset of CD34(+) cells that constitutively expresses HLA-DR and low levels of CD86, a natural ligand for the T cell costimulation receptor CD28.
630 9573027 In this study, we show that CD34(+)/CD86(+) cells can also present tetanus toxoid antigen to memory CD4(+) T cells.
631 9573027 CD34(+)/CD86(+) marrow cells cultured in granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-generated macrophages.

(2) Following immunization with 0.5 microg Lip-HN, there was an earlier, up to 50-fold stronger, and 3-5 times longer response than that obtained with nonliposomal HN. (3) Coimmunization with free cytokines further increased the response 2-20 times and the two cytokines had an additive effect. (4) Liposomal cytokines were 2-20 times more effective than the free cytokines and their stimulatory effect was more durable. (5) A 100% seroconversion (HI titer > or = 40) was achieved with only 10-25% of the routinely used antigen dose, by encapsulating either antigen or cytokine. (6) The level of protection following vaccination with the combined liposomal vaccines was 70-100% versus 0-25% in mice immunized with Al-HN alone, and no toxicity was observed.

1168 10414466 Dendritic cells are the most potent of APC, capable of activating both antigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.
1169 10414466 Previously, we have described how vaccination of mice with irradiated tumor cells producing granulocyte/macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) induces tumor-specific immunity capable of protecting mice from a subsequent tumor challenge.
1170 10415076 The administration of GM-CSF or IL-12 also resulted in a decrease in circulating precursors compared with the administration of peptide alone, though not as great a decrease as that seen with IL-2.
1171 10419048 Immunohistochemical analysis revealed cellular infiltrates (granulocytes, macrophages, and CD4+ and CD8+ T cells) at both the vaccine site and the tumor site, indicating that immune responses were similarly activated when tumor vaccine was inoculated in the brain, as at the subcutis.
1172 10419048 Additional studies demonstrated that the therapeutic effects of tumor vaccines on the large tumors or the long-existing tumors were enhanced by strategies such as increasing the dosage of tumor vaccines, using combined vaccines consisting of mGM-CSF and human interleukin-2, or combining tumor vaccine with herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase/ganciclovir treatment.
1173 10429676 Dendritic cells infiltrating tumors cotransduced with granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and CD40 ligand genes take up and present endogenous tumor-associated antigens, and prime naive mice for a cytotoxic T lymphocyte response.
1174 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.

1176 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.

1260 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.
1261 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.
1262 10498601 CD40, CD80, and CD86 antigens were constitutively expressed on 3.2% +/- 4.5%, 0%, and 1.8% +/- 1.2% CD34(+) blood cells, respectively.
1263 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(+).
1264 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.
1265 10498601 Also, a 24-hour priming with TNF-alpha or ligation of CD40 significantly increased the CD34(+) blood cells alloantigen presenting function.
1266 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.
1267 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.
1268 10505110 DC were derived from the adherent fraction of PBMC by culture in defined medium containing GM-CSF and IL-4.
1269 10505112 The colon adenocarcinoma C26, carrying two endogenous tumor-associated antigens (TAA) recognized by CTL, has been transduced with the gene coding for the human folate receptor alpha (FR alpha) as an additional antigen in order to study the efficacy of vaccination against a tumor expressing multiple antigens.
1270 10505112 A dicistronic vector was used to transduce the IL-12 genes to create C26/IL-12/FR alpha that has been used as a cellular vaccine to treat mice bearing lung metastases of C26/FR alpha.
1271 10505112 CD8 from responder mice were characterized to release high levels of granulocyte-macrophage (GM)-CSF upon antigen stimulation.
1272 10505112 Immunoselection against FR alpha antigen was not observed in tumors from non-vaccinated controls and from CD8-depleted vaccinated mice.
1273 10505112 These results indicate that CD8 T cell-mediated immunoselection and production of GM-CSF are determining factors for the efficacy of tumor vaccines.

1280 10505849 For that purpose, we transduced low immunogenic C1300 cells with interleukin-2 (IL-2), GM-CSF, or IL-4 genes.
1281 10505849 A loss of tumorigenicity in syngeneic mice was observed using IL-2- and GM-CSF- but not IL-4-producing C1300 cells, although their in vitro growth rates were not affected by the transduction.
1282 10505849 The syngeneic mice that had rejected IL-2 or GM-CSF producers did not develop tumors of wt cells inoculated subsequently, but formed tumors of irrelevant syngeneic mammary tumor cells.
1283 10505849 Accordingly, the inoculation of IL-2 or GM-CSF producers into immunocompetent mice generated tumor-specific acquired immunity.
1284 10505849 The induced immunity using IL-2 or GM-CSF producers was also effective in eradicating established subcutaneous tumors of wt cells and in reducing the number of preexisting metastatic foci in the liver.
1285 10505849 These data suggest a potential application of IL-2- or GM-CSF-producing syngeneic tumor cells for the treatment of low immunogenic neuroblastomas.

1440 10680844 Specifically, we examined the effects on the antigen-specific immune responses following the codelivery of the gene expression cassettes for M-CSF, G-CSF, and GM-CSF along with HIV-1 DNA immunogen constructs.
1441 10680844 This enhancement of CTL responses observed from the coinjection with M-CSF was CD8+ T cell dependent and was associated with the presence of CD11c+ cells at the site of injection and with the antigen-specific induction of the beta-chemokine MIP-1beta, suggesting a role for this chemokine in CTL induction.
1442 10687141 Although a comparable percentage of DCs expressing CD86+ (B7-2), CD40+, and HLA-DR+ were detected in both cultures, higher expression levels were detected in DCs derived from bulk culture (CD86 = MRLFI 3665.1 versus 2662.1 on day 6; CD40 = MRLFI 1786 versus 681.2 on day 6; HLA-DR = MRLFI 6018.2 versus 3444.9 on day 2).
1443 10687141 Cytokines involved in DC maturation were determined by polymerase chain reaction demonstrating interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-12, interferon-gamma, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha mRNA expression by bulk culture cells during the entire 9-day culture period.
1444 10687141 Concurrently, CD3+ CD56-, CD3+ CD25+, and CD3+ TCR+ cell populations increased and cytotoxicity against autologous renal cell carcinoma tumor target was induced.
1445 10687150 These transiently transduced dendritic cells, derived from melanoma patients' monocytes cultured with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and interleukin-4, express the transgene and can stimulate patients' CD8+ T cells to elicit an antitumor immune response comparable to dendritic cells loaded with a defined peptide.
1446 10689136 The generation of DC from blood monocytes in response to GM-CSF and IL-4 treatment was similar in cells from young and old persons.
1447 10689136 The DC population thus obtained had a typical dendritic morphology and expressed DC surface markers, such as HLA class II, CD1a, CD11c, CD54, CD80 and CD86, but not CD14 for a period of up to three weeks in culture.
1448 10689136 DC from young and old persons produced IL-12 and TNF-alpha and responded equally well to maturation-inducing stimuli.
1449 10706700 After 3 days of pGM-CSF injection, the increased percentages of CD11c+, CD8+ cells were observed in the regional lymph nodes.
1450 10706700 The importance of these S-100+ cells or both CD8+ and CD11c+ cells, especially that of dendritic cells (DCs), was also studied.
1451 10706700 DCs derived from bone marrow and cultured in RPMI 1640 medium containing IL-4 and GM-CSF were incubated with DNA vaccine and then transferred into naive mice.
1452 10706966 Results of the antibody response indicated that when the MAP and GM-CSF were coadsorbed on alum, the antibody response against the Sm10-T epitope located in the NH(2)-terminal position was significantly amplified up to 30% of the anti-Sm37-5 response.
1453 10713654 Although culture conditions are extremely diverse, the majority of protocols grow DCs in GM-CSF and either TNF-alpha and/or IL-4.
1454 10713654 The addition of other growth factors such as SCF and Flt-3 ligand can dramatically enhance DC recovery.

1489 10757348 This study examines how large tumors might suppress the T cell functions and escape from the immune responses elicited by a granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-secreting tumor vaccine.
1490 10757348 Expression of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) and interleukin 10 (IL-10), the potent immunosuppressive factors, was detected in the parental tumor cell line RLmale 1 (a murine T leukemia cell line), as well as in the tumor region, the levels of which correlated with tumor progression.
1491 10757348 The immunosuppressive activity of IL-10 was also signified by the findings that administration of the conditioned medium of RLmale 1 cultured in a serum-free medium, in which the TGF-beta activity was then lost while the IL-10 activity still remained, or of recombinant IL-10 to the early-treated group of mice abrogated the known efficacy of tumor vaccine on the small tumors.

1568 10841077 For example, coadministration of costimulatory molecules (CD80 and CD86), proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1alpha [IL-1alpha], tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-alpha, and TNF-beta), Th1 cytokines (interleukin-2 [IL-2], IL-12, IL-15, and IL-18), Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, and IL-10), and granulocytes-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) with DNA vaccine constructs leads to modulation of the magnitude and direction (humoral or cellular) of the immune responses.
1569 10841077 To further engineer the immune response in vivo, we compared the induction and regulation of immune responses from the codelivery of chemokine (IL-8, interferon-gamma-inducible protein-10 [gammaIP-10], macrophage inhibitory protein-1alpha [MIP-1alpha], and RANTES) genes with codelivery of cytokine genes.
1570 10841077 We observed that coimmunization with IL-8, gammaIP-10, and MIP-1alpha genes increased the antibody response.
1571 10841077 We also found that coinjection with IL-8, gammaIP-10, and RANTES resulted in a dramatic enhancement of T helper (Th) proliferation response.
1572 10841077 This enhancement of CTL responses observed from the coinjection with RANTES was CD8+ T cell dependent.

1590 10857759 After vaccination of breast cancer patients with a combination of tumour-associated antigens and biological adjuvants (IL-2 and GM-CSF), the concentration of IL-6 decreased significantly (P<0.05) to 8.1 +/- 14.6 pg/ml (n=85).
1591 10857759 Other studies have shown that oestrogen suppresses IL-6 production in oestrogen receptor positive breast cancer cells.
1592 10857759 We have demonstrated that the decrease in IL-6 associated with vaccination is related to the oestrogen receptor status of the tumours from breast cancer patients, as a decrease in IL-6 from 124.0 +/- 267.5 pg/ml (n=26) to 6.2 +/- 11.0 pg/ml (n=34) only occurs in patients with oestrogen receptor negative tumours.
1593 10857759 The IL-6 concentration in breast cancer patients with oestrogen receptor positive tumours remained unchanged (9.5 pg/ml before vaccination, and 9.3 pg/ml after vaccination).

1685 11035058 Experiments using mice in which CD4(+) T cells were eliminated, either by Ab depletion or by gene knockout of the MHC class II beta-chain (MHC II KO), revealed that priming of therapeutic CD8(+) effector T cells following vaccination with a GM-CSF-transduced B16BL6-D5 tumor cell line occurred independently of CD4(+) T cell help.
1686 11035058 The adoptive transfer of CD8(+) effector T cells, but not CD4(+) effector T cells, led to complete regression of pulmonary metastases.
1687 11035058 Resistance was mediated by CD8(+) T cells in mice at 50 days, while both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells were important for protection in mice challenged 150 days following adoptive transfer.
1688 11035058 Thus, in this tumor model CD4(+) Th cells are not required for the priming phase of CD8(+) effector T cells; however, they are critical for both the complete elimination of tumor and the maintenance of a long term protective antitumor memory response in vivo.

1706 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.
1707 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.
1708 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.
1709 11086107 Enriched CD8(+) T cells from 12/12 donors released IFN-gamma (50-300 enzyme-linked immunospots/200,000 T cells) and proliferated.
1710 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.
1711 11086107 Therefore, nonreplicating vaccines can be targeted to immature DCs, which upon further maturation induce combined and robust CD4(+) and CD8(+) immunity.

1759 11177563 IL-7 and interferon gamma levels were elevated in the serum of the patients after treatment.
1760 11188929 These include: 1) continuing traditional approaches of drug discovery stemming from lead chemical structures and in many cases utilizing combinational chemistry followed by suitable screening efforts; 2) Increasing the antitumor effectiveness of available drugs through: a) making it possible to increase drug dose intensity by protecting normal tissues from limiting toxicity through genetic manipulation or combination with such agents as GM-CSF or IL15; b) attempting to increase the specificity of drug delivery through the administration of agents encapsulated in suitable liposome or conjugated with appropriate antibodies or cytokines; c) increasing the sensitivity of target tumor to a drug by specific metabolic modulations as it was done, for example, in the case of combinations of fluoropyrimidines with leukovorin; 3) counteracting resistance to drugs through genetic and/or epigenetic approaches aimed at modifying, for example, mechanisms of drug uptake or retention or at reducing anti-apoptotic mechanisms; 4) attempting to improve biotherapeutic treatments, for example, utilizing novel therapeutic vaccines or antibodies, or treatments based on intervention on angiogenesis or on intercellular or cell-matrix relationships; 5) continuing efforts to develop more effective and selective combination treatments with drugs, biologicals or different modalities; and, 6) developing new treatments based on intervention at novel molecular targets which have an essential role in the physio-pathology of the cancer cell.

1815 11267967 We have found evidence of the anti-tumor effects of 3 major lymphocyte-specific chemokines, secondary lymphoid tissue chemokine (SLC), EBI-1-ligand chemokine (ELC) and stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1alpha, in murine models (Meth A fibrosarcoma and HM-1 ovarian tumor).
1816 11267967 In both naive and immunized mice, tumors expressing SLC, ELC or SDF-1alpha showed delayed progression compared with control tumors.

2101 11556131 The results revealed that autovaccines were able to modulate significantly the release of three potent immunoregulatory cytokines e.g. interferon-gamma, granulocyte-macrophage-colony stimulating factor and interleukin-1 beta, whereas specific humoral immunity remained largely unaffected.

2135 11691814 Here we describe a novel RCC vaccine strategy that allows for the concomitant delivery of dual immune activators: G250, a widely expressed RCC associated antigen; and granulocyte/macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), an immunomodulatory factor for antigen-presenting cells.
2136 11691814 When combined with interleukin 4 (IL-4; 1000 units/ml), FP (0.34 microg/ml) induces differentiation of monocytes (CD14+) into dendritic cells (DCs) expressing surface markers characteristic for antigen-presenting cells.

2382 11920589 Peptide-specific CD8+ T-cell evolution in vivo: response to peptide vaccination with Melan-A/MART-1.
2383 11920589 We have longitudinally followed CD8+ T-cell responses in 3 melanoma patients who were immunized with peptides derived from Melan-A/MART-1.
2384 11920589 At least in a single patient, T cells binding to the AAGIGILTV epitope were detected in naive, precursor (CD45RA+/CCR7+) CD8+ T cells, and CD8+ T cells binding to the analog ELAGIGILTV peptide were identified in the terminally differentiated (CD45RA+/CCR7-) T-cell subset.
2385 11920589 The TCR repertoire reactive with Melan-A/MART-1 peptide epitopes was broadened during vaccination and exhibited a different profile of cytokine release after specific stimulation: tetramer-binding T cells from 2/3 patients secreted granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interferon-gamma but not interleukin-2 (IL-2) in response to Melan-A/MART-1 peptides.
2386 11924914 The authors compared several clinical-grade adjuvants of bacterial origin to determine their ability to induce phenotypic and functional maturation of monocyte-derived DC (Dendritophages, Dphi; IDM, Paris, France) differentiated with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and interleukin-13 in single-use cell processors (VacCell; IDM, Paris, France).
2387 11924914 Addition of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) to Ribomunyl resulted in more pronounced upregulation of CD83, major histocompatibility complex class I, and B7 molecules by Dphi.
2388 11924914 Moreover, the IFN-gamma addition modulated their cytokine secretion, allowing higher levels of bioactive interleukin-12 concomitant with lower levels of interleukin-10.
2389 11929774 Flt3 ligand as a vaccine adjuvant in association with HER-2/neu peptide-based vaccines in patients with HER-2/neu-overexpressing cancers.
2390 11929774 Five patients received the HER-2/neu peptide-based vaccine alone on day 7 of the 14-day cycle, and 5 patients received the vaccine admixed with 150 microg granulocyte macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) on day 7 of the FL cycle.
2391 11929774 However, including FL as a vaccine adjuvant was effective in boosting the precursor frequency of interferon-gamma-secreting HER-2/neu-specific T cells.

2398 11948375 One vaccine was based on a plasmid expression vector and the other was a recombinant vaccinia virus; both vaccines expressed a polypeptide derived from the complementarity-determining regions (CDR(2)-CDR(3)) of the leukemic clone-specific immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH), as a fusion product with mouse granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (mGM-CSF).
2399 11948375 Both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells contributed to protection in vaccinated mice.

2412 11985784 We developed a tumor vaccine consisting of fixed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells/tissue fragments, biodegradable microparticles encapsulating granulocyte-macrophage-colony stimulating factor and interleukin-2, and an adjuvant.
2413 11992409 We report here on 2 patients who received adjuvant vaccination with an HLA-A2- or HLA-A24-restricted tyrosinase peptide, respectively, and GM-CSF for frequently relapsing stage IV melanoma.
2414 11992409 The T-cell population could be further characterized by 4-color flow cytometry in 1 patient, showing that the majority of the peptide-specific CD3(+)CD8(+)IFN-gamma(+) T cells were granzyme B-positive and CCR-7-negative, characterizing them as effector T cells with the ability to mediate cytotoxicity and migrate to inflamed tissues.
2415 11992409 A single-site postvaccination relapse occurred in both patients, showing downregulation of tyrosinase expression in 1 patient, while normal expression levels for tyrosinase, MHC class I antigens and components of the antigen-processing machinery were found in the other patient.

2420 12006513 The goal of this study was to determine whether HER-2/neu peptide-specific CD8+ T-cell immunity could be elicited using an immunodominant HER-2/neu-derived HLA-A2 peptide alone in the absence of exogenous help.
2421 12006513 Granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) was used as adjuvant.

2442 12054065 Second-generation whole cell vaccines include those incorporating genes such as GM-CSF or CD80 (B7-1) to improve immunogenicity, and the use of immunogenic cell membranes such as large multivalent immunogen (LMI).
2443 12065488 Mice were immunized by priming with DNA vaccine plasmids encoding the Plasmodium yoelii circumsporozoite protein (PyCSP) and murine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and boosting with recombinant vaccinia encoding PyCSP.
2444 12065488 The antigen (Ag)-specific effector CD8(+)-T-cell population present 2 weeks after boosting had ex vivo Ag-specific cytolytic activity, expressed both gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) and tumor necrosis factor alpha, and constituted 12 to 20% of splenic CD8(+) T cells.
2445 12065488 In contrast, the memory CD8(+)-Ag-specific-cell population at 28 weeks lacked cytolytic activity and constituted only 6% of splenic CD8(+) T cells, but at the single-cell level it produced significantly higher levels of IFN-gamma than the effectors.
2446 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.
2447 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.
2448 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.
2449 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.
2450 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.

2560 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.
2561 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.

2652 12488431 Multiepitope CD8(+) T cell response to a NY-ESO-1 peptide vaccine results in imprecise tumor targeting.
2653 12488431 Here we analyzed the CD8(+) T cell response to a NY-ESO-1 peptide vaccine composed of the two previously defined peptides 157-165 and 157-167, administered with GM-CSF as a systemic adjuvant.
2654 12488431 The NY-ESO-1 peptide vaccine elicited a CD8(+) T cell response directed against multiple distinct epitopes in the 157-167 region, as revealed by using A2/peptide multimers incorporating overlapping A2 binding peptides in this region.
2655 12488431 However, only a minor fraction of the elicited CD8(+) T cells, namely those recognizing the peptide 157-165 with sufficiently high functional avidity, recognized the naturally processed target on NY-ESO-1(+) tumor cells.
2656 12488431 In addition, vaccine-elicited CD8(+) T cells specific for other overlapping epitopes in the 157-167 region failed to significantly recognize NY-ESO-1-expressing tumor targets.

2678 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.

2691 12512800 Forty to fifty percent of both samples, frozen/thawed as well as fresh BMDC, exhibited characteristic DC morphology, and the DC obtained from the frozen/thawed samples expressed a similar level of MHC class I-, MHC class II-, CD80-, CD86-, CD11c-, CD11b-, CD54- and CD205-molecule as fresh DC.
2692 12513792 The phenotype of DC was detected by FCM with CD1a, CD40, CD80, CD86, HLA-A, B, C and HLA-DR monoclonal antibodies.

2788 12586798 Vaccination with irradiated autologous tumor cells engineered to secrete granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor augments antitumor immunity in some patients with metastatic non-small-cell lung carcinoma.
2789 12594570 The purpose of this work was to optimize the ex-vivo production of functional TAA-loaded DC that would produce interleukin-2 (IL-12) and enhance the T cell response.
2790 12594570 We generated ex-vivo DC from human monocytes with granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and IL-4, and whole necrotic tumor cells (cell lysates) of cancer cell lines were used as model TAA.
2791 12594570 TNF-alpha matured DC phenotypically, but additional interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) treatment was necessary to achieve functional maturation, the production of significant amounts of IL-12.
2792 12594570 Our results suggest that after allowing 4 h of tumor lysate uptake by immature DC, further treatment with TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma for 24 h provides the optimal conditions to obtain functional TAA-loaded DC.
2793 12601525 From a panel of tested cytokine plasmids only mouse IFNbeta, IL-15, and GM-CSF encoding plasmids showed an effect.
2794 12601525 Intradermal gene gun vaccination with 1 micro g plasmid DNA encoding intracellular HBsAg (large LS) showed enhanced CTL priming when IFNbeta, IL15, or GM-CSF encoding plasmids were codelivered; this was not observed when a DNA vaccine encoding secreted HBsAg (small S) was injected.
2795 12601525 Intramuscular injection of low (5 micro g) doses of a DNA vaccine encoding large HBsAg did not prime CTL when delivered without cytokines, with IFNbeta or IL15-encoding plasmids.
2796 12601525 However, codelivery with GM-CSF encoding plasmid DNA primed potent, specific CTL immunity detected either in a cytotoxic assay or by determining the frequency of L(d)-restricted CD8(+) T cells specifically inducible to IFNgamma production.

2805 12601523 We hypothesize that the concomitant expression of tumor antigen and anti-CD137 scFv effectively engages NK cells, monocytes and dendritic cells, as well as activated CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells (all of which express CD137) so as to induce and expand a tumor-destructive Th1 response.
2806 12601523 Before planning any clinical trials, vaccines that engage CD137 via scFv need to be compared in demanding mouse models for efficacy and side effects with vaccines that are already being tested clinically, including transfected DC and tumor cells producing granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor.
2807 12615426 Previously protein vaccines consisting of the extracellular domain of HER2/neu (ECD(HER2)) were shown to elicit an immune response that does not provide protection against transplantable tumors expressing HER2/neu.
2808 12615426 Here, we showed that when mice were vaccinated with a mixture of human ECD(HER2) and anti-human HER2/neu IL-12, IL-2 or GM-CSF fusion proteins, significant retardation of the growth of a syngeneic carcinoma expressing rat HER2/neu, and long-term survivors were observed.
2809 12615426 Splenocytes from mice vaccinated with ECD(HER2) plus IgG3-(GM-CSF) incubated with ECD(HER2) demonstrated significant proliferation and IFN-gamma secretion.
2810 12615426 Taken together these results suggest that vaccines including ECD(HER2) and Ab-cytokine fusion proteins may be used to elicit both humoral and cell-mediated responses against HER2/neu.

2815 12616108 Sera obtained before and after vaccination were analyzed for antibodies to tumor cell lysate, MUC1, HER2/neu and p53.
2816 12616108 Eight of 24 patients made an antibody response to HER-2/neu, four of 24 to MUC1 and one of 24 to p53.
2817 12616108 Although antibody production to a variety of tumor cell-associated antigens was detected our results suggest that a whole cell vaccine comprising a CD80-transfected allogeneic breast cancer cell line with adjuvant BCG or GM-CSF was not a reliable method to induce significant antibody responses in women with advanced breast cancer.

3122 14594508 Differentiation of CD14(+) cells into mature monocyte-derived DC was induced by incubation with IL-4, GM-CSF, TNF-alpha, PGE(2), IL-1 beta, and IL-6.
3123 14594508 Mature DC showed a high expression of CD83, HLA-DR, and the co-stimulatory molecules CD80 and CD86.
3124 14600790 Nineteen patients received DCs plus autologous lysates and 14 patients DCs plus peptides from the melanoma antigens MAGE-3.A2, tyrosinase, gp100, and MART-1.

3128 14611813 Function of CD80 and CD86 on monocyte- and stem cell-derived dendritic cells.
3129 14611813 Dendritic cells (DCs) consist of a heterogeneous population of hematopoietic cells characterized by their unique dendritic morphology, their efficient antigen-presenting capability to activate naïve CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, as well as their lack of lineage-specific markers.
3130 14611813 Human umbilical cord blood CD14+ monocytes and CD34+ stem cells were induced to differentiate into dendritic cells using 100 ng/mL granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), 25 ng/mL interleukin (II)-4, 2.5 ng/mL tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and 100 ng/mL GM-CSF, 25 ng/mL stem cell factor, and 2.5 ng/mL TNF-alpha, respectively.
3131 14611813 Differentiated dendritic cells were CD80+, CD86+, CD83+, CD54+, CD1a+, CD11b+, CD11c+, HLA-DR+, CD34-, CD3-, CD19-, CD14-, and CD16-.
3132 14611813 Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction revealed that differentiating monocytes initially expressed CD86 mRNA while CD80 mRNA appeared on Day 2.
3133 14611813 Differentiating stem cells expressed both CD80 and CD86 mRNA on Day 2 of culture.
3134 14611813 Monoclonal antibodies (mabs) to CD80 and CD86 were employed to assess their costimulatory roles.
3135 14611813 CD14 and CD34 derived DCs prior to the functional assay were stimulated for 18 h with 0.1 and 1.0 mg/mL Escherichia coli lipopolyssacharide, respectively.
3136 14611813 A decrease in stimulation as depicted by decreased T-cell activation was significant with mabs to both CD80 and CD86 on monocyte-derived DCs while only mabs to CD86 induced decreased T-cell activation by stem cell-derived DCs.
3137 14611813 The varied functional role of CD80 and CD86 costimulatory molecules is associated with DC differentiation from distinct cord blood-isolated hematopoietic lineages.
3138 14627128 Immature monocyte-derived dendritic cells (imMo-DCs) isolated from human peripheral blood monocytes stimulated with granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor and interleukin-4 were exposed to maturation factors, i.e., lipopolysaccharide (LPS), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) plus prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and OK-432 for 2 days.
3139 14627128 OK-432 increased expression of activation- and maturation-related molecules such as HLA-DR, CD80, CD83, and CD86 in imMo-DCs at levels similar to that of TNF-alpha plus PGE2, and higher than that of LPS.
3140 14627128 Only OK-432 caused significant production of interleukin-12 (IL-12) p70 and interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) at both the mRNA and protein levels in imMo-DCs.
3141 14627128 Neutralizing antibody against IL-12 p70 blocked IFN-gamma secretion from OK-432-stimulated Mo-DCs.
3142 14627128 IL-12 p70 produced by OK-432-stimulated imMo-DCs induced secretion of IFN-gamma by CD4+ T cells.
3143 14627128 Both secretion of IL-12 p70 and IFN-gamma and activation of NF-kappaB induced by OK-432 were suppressed when imMo-DCs were pretreated with cytochalasin B.
3144 14627128 These results indicate that uptake of OK-432 by imMo-DCs is an early critical event for IL-12 p70 production and that NF-kappaB activation induced by OK-432 also contributes partially to IL-12 p70 production.
3145 14629132 In this study, we identified a c-erbB-2/HER2/neu (HER2)-derived Th epitope (HER2 (16-30) ) and examined the role of Th epitopes in HER2-specific CD8+ T cell induction and in vivo tumor eradication, with a particular emphasis on the role of tumor cell-derived Th epitopes.
3146 14629132 Immunization of BALB/c mice using a mixture of Th epitope HER2 (16-30) and CTL epitope HER2 (63-71) administered subcutaneously with murine GM-CSF (mGM-CSF) induced a much higher level of HER2 (63-71) -specific CD8+ T cells compared with that obtained with the CTL epitope alone.
3147 14629132 HER2-unrelated OVA-derived Th epitope (OVA (323-339) ) exhibited a similar enhancing effect on HER2 (63-71) -specific CD8+ T cell induction.
3148 14634087 The expression of transmembrane ErbB-2 from the whey acidic protein-Her-2 cassette and its up-regulation by insulin and hydrocortisone was verified by in vitro transfection.
3149 14634087 When immunized five times with plasmid DNA encoding secErbB-2 and GM-CSF, respectively, approximately 33% of the Her-2 Tg mice rejected a lethal challenge of EL-4/E2 tumor cells, whereas all immunized littermates rejected the tumor.

3374 14984494 Retroviral transduction of acute myeloid leukaemia-derived dendritic cells with OX40 ligand augments their antigen presenting activity.
3375 14984494 In the present study, we examined whether the transduction of leukaemia-DCs with OX40 ligand (OX40L), a member of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) family, resulted in augmentation of their antigen presenting activity.
3376 14984494 Fresh leukaemic cells from five patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) were isolated and retrovirally transduced with OX40L during the culture with a combination of cytokines from stem cell factor, fms-like tyrosine kinase (Flt)-3 ligand, granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-4 (IL-4) and TNF-alpha.
3377 14984494 After 7 d, the majority of cells showed DC-like morphology, and expressed higher levels of CD80, CD86 and HLA-DR than fresh leukaemic cells.
3378 14984494 Co-culture of allogeneic CD4+ T cells with OX40L-transduced leukaemia-DCs was superior in the generation of interferon (IFN)-gamma producing CD4+ T cells and in production of IFN-gamma.
3379 14999431 The vaccine used mature DCs (CD1a+++, CD40++, CD80++, CD83+, and CD86+++) generated from peripheral blood monocytes in the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4.
3380 14999431 After 7 days, DCs were matured with a defined cocktail of cytokines (IL-1+IL-6+TNF-alpha+PGE2) and simultaneously pulsed with lysates of heterologous melanoma cell lines, for 2 days.
3381 15003639 In this study, we primed E8 gene vaccination with mouse granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (mGM-CSF), a cytokine that induces differentiation and local recruitment of professional antigen-presenting cells.
3382 15010228 However, live bacteria induced greater up-regulation of the expression of CD40 and CD86 than killed bacteria.
3383 15010228 Live bacteria also induced greater up-regulation of transcription for IL-6, IL-12 and GM-CSF than killed bacteria as measured by quantitative RT-PCR.
3384 15013994 Three ophthalmic sponges, Weck-Cel, Ultracell, and Merocel, were loaded in vitro with interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, IL-15, IL-18, gamma interferon (IFN-gamma), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), immunoglobulin A (IgA), or IgG, and sponges were extracted and evaluated for total recovery by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
3385 15013994 There was excellent (>75%) recovery for all immune markers from all three devices except for IL-6, which was poorly recovered (<60%) for all sponge types, IFN-gamma, which was poorly recovered from both Weck-Cel and Ultracell sponges but was completely recovered from Merocel sponges, and IL-4, which was poorly recovered from Weck-Cel sponges but was completely recovered from Ultracell or Merocel sponges.
3386 15013994 We then compared the absolute recovery of selected markers (IL-10, IL-12, IgG, and IgA) from cervical secretion specimens collected from women using each type of sponge.
3387 15013994 There were no significant differences in the recoveries of IL-10, IL-12, and IgG from cervical specimens collected by any type of ophthalmic sponge, but there was reduced IgA recovery from Merocel sponges.
3388 15013994 We infer from our data that the three collection devices are adequate for the measurements of IL-1 beta, IL-2, IL-5, IL-12, IL-15, IL-18, and IgG.
3389 15013994 Merocel may be a better ophthalmic sponge for the collection of cervical secretions and measurements of IL-4, IL-8, IL-10, GM-CSF, and IFN-gamma, but our data from clinical specimens, not in vitro-loaded sponges, suggested the possibility of reduced recovery of IgA.

3444 15083197 We constructed a recombinant adenovirus expressing the full-length cDNA of HCA661 gene and then transduced immature DCs, which had been generated with GM-CSF and IL-4 from peripheral blood mononuclear cell of HLA-A2(+) healthy donors.
3445 15083197 The resulting adenovirus-transduced DCs differentiated in the presence of monocyte-conditioned medium and poly [I] : poly [C], expressing the surface markers of mature DCs, including CD83, CD80, CD86 and HLA-DR.
3446 15086722 Ovarian carcinoma anti-idiotypic antibody 6B11 was murine derived; we previously have cloned 6B11 single-chain Fv antibody (6B11ScFv) and constructed the 6B11ScFv/human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) fusion protein (designated as 6B11GM) to enhance the immunogenecity of the single-chain Ab(2).

3450 15099757 In addition, we collected Mo-DCs from the collagen gels by collagenase treatment and analyzed the expression of antigen presentation-related molecules such as HLA-DR, CD80, CD83, and CD86 on Mo-DCs.
3451 15102698 DC-AdCCL21 administration led to increases in the CD4(+), CD8(+), and CD3(+)CXCR3(+) T cells, as well as DC expressing CD11c(+) DEC205(+).
3452 15102698 CD4(+)CD25(+) T-regulatory cells infiltrating the tumors were markedly reduced after DC-AdCCL21 therapy.
3453 15102698 The tumor site cellular infiltrates were accompanied by the enhanced elaboration of granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor, IFN-gamma, MIG/CXCL9, IP-10/CXCL10, and interleukin 12, but decreases in the immunosuppressive mediators transforming growth factor beta and prostaglandin E(2).
3454 15102698 In vivo depletion of IP-10/CXCL10, MIG/CXCL9, or IFN-gamma significantly reduced the antitumor efficacy of DC-AdCCL21.

3470 15196240 IFN-gamma production by splenocytes was eliminated by addition of neutralizing anti-IL-18 antibody.
3471 15196240 Endogenous IL-12 played a favourable role whereas IL-10 played an adverse role in rBCG-mIL-18-induced IFN-gamma production.
3472 15196240 Further, splenocytes from rBCG-mIL-18-infected mice, in response to BCG antigen, displayed increased production of IFN-gamma and GMCSF, decreased production of IL-10, elevated cellular proliferation and higher differentiation of IFN-gamma-secreting cells. rBCG-mIL-18 also enhanced BCG-induced macrophage cytotoxicity against bladder cancer MBT-2 cells in a dose-dependent manner.
3473 15196240 Neutralizing all endogenous macrophage-derived cytokines tested (IL-12, IL-18 and TNF-alpha) as well as IFN-gamma severely diminished the rBCG-mIL-18-induced macrophage cytolytic activity, indicating a critical role for these cytokines in this process.
3474 15196240 Cytokine analysis for supernatants of macrophage-BCG mixture cultures manifested higher levels of IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha in rBCG-mIL-18 cultures than in control BCG cultures.

3479 15240755 We found that monocytes infected with BCG differentiate into CD1a- DCs (BCG-DCs) in the presence of granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor and interleukin (IL)-4 and acquired a mature phenotype in the absence of maturation stimuli.
3480 15240755 In addition, BCG-DCs produced proinflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6) and IL-10 but not IL-12.
3481 15242811 Human monocytes were cultured with GM-CSF and IL-4 for 6 days, followed by another 2 days in the presence of M1, M4 or TNF-alpha as a maturation stimulus.
3482 15242811 Stimulation with 20 microM of M1 or M4 increased expression level of CD80, CD83 and CD86 as expressed by mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) and decreased endocytic activity.
3483 15242811 In CTL assay, the production of IFN-gamma and 51Cr release on M4-primed mature DCs was more augmented than of immature DCs or TNF-alpha-primed mature DCs.
3484 15254748 They can be repaired, at least partially and in vitro, by cytokines (IFNgamma, TNFalpha) or by DNA demethylation/histone hyperacetylation procedures.
3485 15254748 The innate and adaptive antitumour immunity may be under some conditions interconnected: primary activation of the MHC class I-unrestricted surveillance mechanisms may lead to the production of IFNgamma by the activated NK/gammadelta T cells; the in situ produced IFNgamma may then up-regulate the MHC class I molecule expression on the tumour cell surface and in this way it may stimulate the more efficient, MHC class I-restricted, adaptive immunity.
3486 15254748 Either therapeutic procedures aiming at up-regulation of MHC class I expression, or enhancement of MHC class I-unrestricted (CD4+, NK, NKT, gammadelta T) tumour defence effector mechanisms by dendritic cell-based therapeutic vaccines, by cytokines (IL-2, IL-12, IFNgamma, GM-CSF), or by the cytokine gene-based, genetically modified tumour vaccines should be considered.

3499 15289501 We report here the consistent induction of CD8(+) T cell responses to multiple HLA-A2, A3, and A24-restricted mesothelin epitopes exclusively in the three patients with vaccine-induced DTH responses.
3500 15294176 We investigated the feasibility of using N-terminal rat neu DNA immunization on mouse tumor overexpressing endogenous p185neu and enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of this vaccine by fusion to various cytokine genes, including interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin-4 (IL-4), or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor.
3501 15294176 In a therapeutic model, N'-neu-IL-2 DNA vaccine was significantly better than N'-neu DNA vaccine, and N'-neu DNA vaccine was significantly better than control DNA or N'-neu-IL-4 DNA vaccine.
3502 15294176 Depletion of CD8+ T cells completely abolished the therapeutic effects of N'-neu-IL-2 DNA vaccine and N'-neu DNA vaccine.
3503 15294176 Depletion of CD4+ T cells after tumor implantation had no influence on N'-neu-IL-2 DNA vaccine, but enhanced the therapeutic efficacy of N'-neu DNA vaccine.
3504 15294176 Depletion of CD4+ T cells or fusion to the IL-2 gene can thus further enhance the therapeutic effects of N'-neu DNA immunization on mouse tumor expressing endogenous p185neu.
3505 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).
3506 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.

3510 15315837 Tumour rejection in response to OX40L therapy required functional CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and correlated with splenocyte cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) activity against the AH-1 gp70 peptide of the tumour associated antigen expressed by CT26 cells.
3511 15318164 In inbred BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice, coadministration of a plasmid expressing murine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (mGM-CSF), increased antibody and T-cell responses, but in outbred CD-1 mice, coadministration of mGM-CSF was associated with a decrease in antibody responses.
3512 15340764 In MAP/GM-CSF vaccinated animals, a cellular immune response was detected in association with the appearance of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells at the tumor site.
3513 15340764 Splenocytes and CD8+ T cells from vaccinated rats produced the Th1 cytokine IFN-gamma in vitro in response to stimulation by rat glioma cells expressing EGFRvIII, but not by those expressing wild-type EGFR.

3523 15342937 Selective generation of different dendritic cell precursors from CD34+ cells by interleukin-6 and interleukin-3.
3524 15342937 Several cytokines, especially stem cell factor (SCF) and FLT3-ligand (FL), have been identified as essential to produce large numbers of myeloid precursors and even to increase DC yield obtained by the action of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha).
3525 15342937 We report here that in the absence of serum, SCF, FL, and thrombopoietin (TPO) plus interleukin-6 (IL-6) and SCF, FL, and TPO plus IL-3 were able to generate CD14+CD1a- and CD14- CD1a+ myeloid DC precursors from CD34+ cells, but IL-6 had an inhibitory effect on the generation of CD14- CD1a+ cells.
3526 15342937 Both DC precursors differentiated into mature DCs by GM-CSF, IL-4, and TNF-alpha, and DCs obtained from both types of culture exhibited equal allostimulatory capacity.
3527 15342937 CD1a+ DCs generated could be identified on the basis of DC-specific intracellular adhesion molecule-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) expression, a novel C-type lectin receptor expressed on dermal DCs but not on Langerhans cells.
3528 15342937 In addition, the inclusion of IL-3 to the culture medium induced the appearance of CD13- cells that differentiated into plasmacytoid DC (DC2) on the addition of TNF-alpha, allowing the identification of developmental stages of DC2.

3535 15359643 Peripheral blood CD14+ monocytes from multiple myeloma (MM) patients can be induced to differentiate into fully functional, mature, CD83+ dendritic cells (DCs) which are highly efficient in priming autologous T lymphocytes in response to the patient-specific tumor idiotype (Id).
3536 15359643 Cells were then cultured, according to Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines, in FCS-free medium in cell culture bags, and differentiated to DCs with GM-CSF plus IL-4 followed by TNF-alpha or, more recently, by a cocktail of IL-1beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha and prostaglandin-E2.
3537 15359643 Notably, the cytokine cocktail induced a significantly higher percentage and yield (31+/-10.9 of initial CD14+ cells) of DCs than TNF-alpha alone, secretion of larger amounts of IL-12, potent stimulatory activity on allogeneic and autologous T cells.

3548 15481142 No significant difference in IFN-gamma quantification was shown between naive CD4+ T cells stimulated by LPS- or OM-197-Mo-DC suggesting that OM-197-Mo-DC can drive naive T cells towards a Th1 response profile that was mainly independent of IL-12 secretion.

3687 15720438 A soluble LAG-3 (CD223) molecule (sLAG-3) is a natural, high-affinity ligand for MHC class II.
3688 15720438 It is known to induce maturation of monocyte-derived dendritic cells in vitro and is used as a vaccine adjuvant to induce CD4 T helper type 1 responses and CD8 T-cell responses in vivo.
3689 15720438 Here, we demonstrate that sLAG-3 (but not an MHC class II-specific monoclonal antibody) reduces the differentiation of monocytes into macrophages in the presence of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) as well as their differentiation into dendritic cells in the presence of GM-CSF and interleukin-4, as shown by a decrease in CD14 and CD1a expression, respectively.

3729 15787742 Murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DC) can be generated by culture in the presence of granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) alone or GM-CSF in conjunction with interleukin-4 (IL-4).
3730 15787742 Also, the four culture conditions generated CD11c+ DC with comparable levels of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II, CD40, CD80 and CD86 expression, with the exception of cells cultured under serum-free conditions in the absence of IL-4, which displayed suboptimal levels of these markers.
3731 15787742 However, both DC populations displayed a similar capacity to take up fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-albumin by macropinocytosis and FITC-Dextran by the mannose receptor and to secrete IL-12 in response to stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or an agonistic anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody.
3732 15787742 Therefore, we conclude that although both DC culture methods result in the production of DC with similar functional abilities, under serum-free conditions, DC cultured in GM-CSF and IL-4 show an increased stimulatory potential over DC cultured in GM-CSF alone.

3749 15812230 Nonreplicating recombinant vaccinia virus expressing CD40 ligand enhances APC capacity to stimulate specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses.
3750 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.
3751 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).
3752 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.
3753 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.
3754 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.
3755 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.
3756 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.
3757 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).

3777 15845492 A mixture of DNA plasmids expressing five Plasmodium falciparum pre-erythrocyte-stage antigens was administered with or without a DNA plasmid encoding human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) as an immune enhancer.
3778 15845492 Volunteers who received hGM-CSF had a reduced frequency of IFN-gamma responses to class I peptides compared to those who only received plasmids expressing P. falciparum proteins before challenge (3/23 versus 3/8; P = 0.15) or after parasite challenge (4/23 versus 5/8; P = 0.015) but not to class II peptides before or after challenge.

3786 15845642 Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guerin infects DC-SIGN- dendritic cell and causes the inhibition of IL-12 and the enhancement of IL-10 production.
3787 15845642 Recent studies have shown that BCG and Mtb target the DC-specific C-type lectin intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) to infect DC and inhibit their immunostimulatory function.
3788 15845642 This would occur through the interaction of the mycobacterial mannosylated lipoarabinomannan to DC-SIGN, which would prevent DC maturation and induce the immunosuppressive cytokine interleukin (IL)-10 synthesis.
3789 15845642 Here, we confirm that DC-SIGN is expressed in DC derived from monocytes cultured in granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and IL-4 and show that it is not expressed in DC derived from monocytes cultured in GM-CSF and interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha).
3790 15845642 We also demonstrate that DC-SIGN(-) DC cultured in GM-CSF and IFN-alpha are able to phagocytose BCG and to undergo a maturation program as well as DC-SIGN(+) DC cultured in IL-4 and GM-CSF.
3791 15845642 We also show that BCG causes the impairment of IL-12 and the induction of IL-10 secretion by DC, irrespective of DC-SIGN expression.

3824 15877606 Monocyte-derived dendritic cells (mDC), the most frequently applied DC subset in clinical studies, which can be obtained easily from peripheral blood monocytes after incubation with GM-CSF and IL-4, have not been clearly demonstrated to be activated by CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN).
3825 15877606 However, we did not observe increased expression of maturation-associated and functionally relevant surface antigens (CD14, HLA-DR, CD40, CD83, CD80 and CD86), significant secretion of IL-12 and IFN-alpha in culture supernatant, or enhanced antitumour activation of cytokine-induced killer cells.
3826 15879092 We have evaluated a peptide, a viral vector expressing the Ag transgene alone, with one costimulatory molecule (B7-1), and with three costimulatory molecules (B7-1, ICAM-1, and LFA-3), with anti-CTLA-4 mAb, with GM-CSF, and combinations of the above.

3829 15879106 Cells treated with non-CpG PS-ODN and GM-CSF expressed dendritic cell marker CD83 and high levels of HLA-DR and costimulatory molecules, and were CD14(-) or CD14(dim), consistent with monocyte differentiation into a dendritic cell phenotype.

3840 15899826 In this study, we identified murine breast cancer cell lines that support DNA replication of E1-deleted adenovirus vectors and which can be killed by an oncolytic adenovirus expressing adenovirus E1A and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) in a replication-dependent manner (Ad.IR-E1A/TRAIL).
3841 15899826 We showed that systemic or intratumoral (i.t.) injection of adenovirus vectors into mice increases plasma levels of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, including TNF-alpha, INF-gamma, and MCP-1, which are potent inducers of dendritic cell maturation.
3842 15899826 Furthermore, we showed that in vivo expression of Flt3L from an adenovirus vector increases the number of CD11b+ and CD11c+ cells (populations that include dendritic cells) in the blood circulation.
3843 15899826 Based on these findings, we tested whether Ad.IR-E1A/TRAIL induced killing of tumor cells in combination with dendritic cell mobilization by Ad.Flt3L or, for comparison, Ad.GM-CSF would have an additive antitumor effect.
3844 15899826 We found that vaccination of mice with C3L5 cells that underwent viral oncolysis in combination with Flt3L or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) expression induces a systemic antitumor immune response.

3880 15961574 To identify DCs with differing abilities to direct Th1/Th2 cell differentiation, we cultured mouse bone marrow progenitors in granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM), GM + interleukin (IL)-4, or GM + IL-15 and generated three distinct DC populations.
3881 15961574 The GM + IL-4 DCs expressed high levels of CD80/CD86 and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II and produced low levels of IL-12p70.
3882 15961574 GM and GM + IL-15 DCs expressed low levels of CD80/CD86 and MHC class II.
3883 15961574 The GM + IL-15 DCs produced high levels of IL-12p70 and interferon (IFN)-gamma, whereas GM DCs produced only high levels of IL-12p70.
3884 15961574 Naive T cells stimulated with GM + IL-4 DCs secreted high levels of IL-4 and IL-5 in addition to IFN-gamma.
3885 15961574 In contrast, the GM + IL-15 DCs induced higher IFN-gamma production by T cells with little or no Th2 cytokines.

3947 16037410 Classically, mature monocyte-derived DC are generated in vitro in the presence of interleukin (IL)-4, granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor, and inflammatory cytokines (G4-DC).
3948 16037410 Recently, it has been described that DC can also be generated in the presence of IL-3 and interferon (IFN)-beta and that these DC are efficiently matured using polyriboinosinic polyribocytidylic acid (I3-DC).
3949 16037410 Phenotypic characterization of the DC revealed differences in the expression of the monocyte marker CD14 and the maturation marker CD83.
3950 16037410 Low expression of CD14 and high expression of CD83 characterized G4-DC, whereas I3-DC displayed intermediate expression of CD14 and CD83.
3951 16037410 Upon CD40 ligation, G4-DC produced lower amounts of IFN-alpha and pulmonary and activation-regulated chemokine, similar amounts of IL-6, macrophage-inflammatory protein (MIP)-1alpha, and MIP-1beta, and higher amounts of IL-12 p70, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and MIP-3beta than I3-DC.

4045 16219932 However, encouraging clinical results in patients immunized with autologous tumor cell vaccines expressing granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor strongly advocate further investigation of immunotherapy in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
4046 16225839 Engrafted NTA(3)-DTDA-containing PMV encapsulated cytokines such as IL-2, IL-12, GM-CSF and IFN-gamma, allowing targeted delivery of both antigen and cytokine to T cells, and stimulation of antigen-specific T cell proliferation and cytotoxicity.
4047 16225839 Importantly, use of B7.1-CD40-engrafted PMV containing IL-2 and IL-12 as a vaccine in DBA/2J mice induced protection against challenge with syngeneic tumor cells (P815 mammary mastocytoma), and regression of established tumors.

4058 16276349 Immunization with both vectors led to generation of cell cytotoxicity providing granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor was administered with the vaccine.
4059 16282469 The responses were stronger in mice that were coinjected with a second plasmid expressing granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor.

4068 16310897 Intramuscular vaccination of foxhounds with a Leishmania multicomponent (10 antigen) DNA vaccine resulted in antigen-induced lymphoproliferative and IFN-gamma (but not IL-4) responses.
4069 16310897 This response was not augmented by co-administration of canine IL-12 or GM-CSF DNA adjuvants.

4071 16315029 Immature bone marrow derived DC grown in vitro with IL-4 and GM-CSF were pulsed with B16-CD44.
4072 16315029 After 48 h of pulsing, maturation of DC was demonstrated by production of IL-12 and upregulation of CD80 and CD40 expression.
4073 16315029 To test the efficacy of vaccination with DC+B16-CD44, mice were vaccinated subcutaneously Lymphocytes from mice vaccinated with DC+B16-CD44 produced IFN-gamma in response to B16 melanoma lysates as well as an MHC class I restricted B16 melanoma-associated peptide, indicating B16 specific CD8 T cell activation.
4074 16341143 Interestingly, the modified plasmid vaccine predominantly enhanced the type 2 immune responses manifested by an increased IgG1 to IgG2a antibody ratio and a greater induction of GATA-3 and IL-4 mRNA than that of T-bet and IFN-gamma mRNA in spleen cells from vaccinated mice.
4075 16341143 In addition, protection against tumor challenge in vaccinated mice showed that there was no significant change in mice survival after in vivo CD8+CTL depletion, indicating that antitumor immunity augmented by plasmid encoding GM-CSF and target PDTRP gene vaccine was dominated by Th2 immune response.

4080 16393983 To determine the effects of OX40 costimulation on the induction of the host CD8+ T cell repertoire to an endogenous tumor Ag, we examined the fate of CD8+ T cells specific for the immunodominant rat HER-2/neu epitope, RNEU420-429, in FVB MMTV-neu (neu-N) mice, which express rat HER-2/neu protein in a predominantly mammary-restricted fashion.
4081 16393983 However, OX40 costimulation, when combined with GM-CSF-secreting tumor-targeted vaccination, can break established CD8+ T cell tolerance in vivo by enhancing the expansion, and prolonging the survival and effector function of CD8+ T cells specific for RNEU420-429.
4082 16393983 Moreover, we demonstrate that OX40 expression is up-regulated on both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells shortly after administration of a GM-CSF expressing vaccine.

4110 16412049 Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-induced human monocyte-derived macrophage (GM-Mphi) or macrophage CSF (M-CSF)-induced human monocyte-derived Mphi (M-Mphi) are distinct in terms of the resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
4111 16412049 FN1 and FCGR2B were the most up-regulated genes in GM-Mphi and M-Mphi, respectively.
4112 16412049 After stimulation with BCG, three chemokine genes (Osteopontin (SPP1), CXC chemokine ligand 7 (CXCL7) and CC chemokine ligand 11 (CCL11)) were highly expressed in M-Mphi-BCG when compared to those in GM-Mphi-BCG.
4113 16412049 A significantly increased resistance to M. tuberculosis H37Ra was observed after the stimulation of GM-Mphi with SPP1 or CXCL7.
4114 16412049 Superoxide production levels of SPP1- or CXCL7-stimulated GM-Mphis were higher than those of GM-Mphis without stimulation.
4115 16412049 These results indicate that both SPP1 and CXCL7 might have a role in the resistance against mycobacteria, at least in part, through augmenting reactive oxygen intermediate production in Mphis.

4130 16446175 Culturing in the presence of granulocyte monocyte colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) increased the in vitro differentiation and maturation of these cells into BM-derived DCs (CD11c+ and MHC class II+).
4131 16446175 Maturation of DCs was determined by increased CD80 and CD86 expression, IL-4 and IL-12 production, reduction in phagocytic capacity and increase in the antigen presenting ability to primed or naïve T lymphocytes.

4141 16480334 The splenic CD4-8- DC subset that secretes transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta stimulates CD4+ regulatory T type 1 (Tr1) cell responses, and this leads to antitumor immune tolerance.
4142 16480334 Our data showed that isolated CD4-8- DCs cultured for an additional 18 hours in medium containing 15-20 ng/mL granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) became more mature compared to the freshly isolated CD4-8- DCs.
4143 16490926 In contrast, the co-administration of GM-CSF DNA enhanced the T cell-mediated immunity biased to the Th1-type, as judged by the significantly higher level of cytokine IL-2 and IFN-gamma production but not IL-4.

4227 16754847 Nonetheless, tumor cell shedding of NKG2D ligands, such as MHC class I chain-related protein A (MICA), results in immune suppression through down-regulation of NKG2D surface expression.
4228 16754847 Here we show that some patients who respond to antibody-blockade of cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 or vaccination with lethally irradiated, autologous tumor cells engineered to secrete granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor generate high titer antibodies against MICA.
4229 16754847 These humoral reactions are associated with a reduction of circulating soluble MICA (sMICA) and an augmentation of natural killer (NK) cell and CD8(+) T lymphocyte cytotoxicity.

4311 17036333 SPAN-XB core promoter sequence is regulated in myeloma cells by specific CpG dinucleotides associated with the MeCP2 protein.
4312 17036333 We recently demonstrated that SPAN-Xb expression in myeloma cells is regulated through promoter methylation and could be upregulated by IL-7 and GM-CSF.
4313 17036333 In this present study, we set out to investigate the mechanism of SPAN-XB expression and the promoter association with the methyl-CpG binding protein (MeCP2).
4314 17036333 Using a panel of truncated promoter constructs, we localize the core sequence of SPAN-XB promoter to the 73 bp at the 3' end of the promoter, a region within the full length promoter that lacks CpG dinucleotides.
4315 17036333 Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays revealed a specific association of MeCP2 with the promoter, and MeCP2 binding strongly correlated with repression of SPAN-XB gene.
4316 17036333 Reactivation of the SPAN-XB gene by 5-azacytidine treatment resulted in the loss of MeCP2 from this site.
4317 17036333 We, therefore, conclude that SPAN-XB core promoter function in myeloma cells is associated with MeCP2 protein binding and regulated by specific CpG dinucleotide sequences.

4424 17332250 Functional specialization of human circulating CD16 and CD1c myeloid dendritic-cell subsets.
4425 17332250 Human blood contains 2 populations of dendritic cells (DCs): plasmacytoid and myeloid (mDC). mDCs are subdivided into 3 subsets using the surface markers CD16, CD1c, and BDCA-3.
4426 17332250 Among 31 cytokines tested, both subsets produce CXCL8 (IL-8)/tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)/IL-6/CCL3 (MIP-1 alpha)/CCL4 (MIP-1beta)/IL-1 beta.
4427 17332250 CXCL8 (IL-8) is the predominant cytokine produced by CD1c-mDCs on TLR engagement, whereas all other cytokines, particularly TNF-alpha, are secreted in 10-fold to 100-fold higher amounts by CD16-mDCs.
4428 17332250 CD16-mDCs cocultured with human umbilical vein endothelial cells induce a significantly higher production of CXCL10 (IP-10), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor than CD1c-mDCs.
4429 17332250 In addition, interleukin-3 and type I interferons are stimuli specifically for DC maturation rather than cytokine secretion, whereas TNF-alpha is almost ineffective in inducing either function, suggesting a mechanism of T-cell-DC crosstalk and of rapid induction of antigen-presenting cell function during viral infection rather than inflammation.

4499 17641838 Peripheral blood monocytes were cultured in vitro with GM-CSF, IL-4 for 6 days, then TNF-(the TNF-group) or TNF-, IL-1, IL-6, PGE2 (the cytokine mixture group) were added to promote maturation.
4500 17641838 Cell number was counted by hematology analyzer, and phenotype study (CD1a, CD14, CD83) was carried out by flow cytometry, and the function of DCs was examined by mixed lymphocyte reaction.
4501 17641838 The phenotypes were as follows: CD1a+ (74.65+/-4.45)%, CD83+ (39.50+/-4.16)%, CD14+ (2.90+/-1.76)% in TNF-alpha group, and CD1a+ (81.86+/-5.87)%, CD83+ (81.65+/-6.36)%, CD14+ (2.46+/-1.68)% in the cytokine mixture group.
4502 17641838 It was concluded that leucapheresis may be a feasible way to provide large number of peripheral blood monocytes for DC generation, and combined administration of TNF-, IL-1, IL-6, and PGE2 may greatly promote maturity.

4626 18081877 We analyzed the humoral responses in patients vaccinated with CHP-HER2 and those with CHP-HER2 plus granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF).
4627 18081877 Nine patients received the vaccine alone over the first four injections, followed by CHP-HER2 with GM-CSF or OK-432, whereas six received CHP-HER2 plus GM-CSF from the first cycle. 146HER2-specific IgG antibodies were induced in 14 patients, who were negative at baseline.

4751 18386791 Combination of Fasl and GM-CSF confers synergistic antitumor immunity in an in vivo model of the murine Lewis lung carcinoma.
4752 18386791 Gene transfer of Fas ligand (FasL) to tumor cells has been demonstrated to inhibit tumor growth in vivo, and neutrophils are primarily responsible for this immunoprotection.
4753 18386791 The granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) secreted by tumor vaccine can recruit dendritic cells (DCs) for efficient antigen presentation to T cells that generate the tumor-specific response.
4754 18386791 To investigate whether the combination of FasL and GM-CSF can efficiently suppress tumor growth, we have established Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC-1) cells that are transduced with GM-CSF (LLC/GM-CSF), FasL (LLC/FasL) or both genes (LLC/FasL/GM-CSF) to test their tumorigenic potential in vivo.
4755 18386791 In contrast, none of the mice injected with LLC/FasL or LLC/FasL/GM-CSF develop tumors.
4756 18386791 Specific memory immune response and delayed LLC-1 tumor growth are found in mice immunized with LLC-1/FasL or LLC-1/FasL/GM-CSF.
4757 18386791 Furthermore, therapeutic effects are observed only when LLC-1/FasL/GM-CSF tumor vaccine is employed to retard growth of preexisting LLC-1 tumors.
4758 18386791 Tumor growth is also completely suppressed in mice injected with a mixture of LLC-1 and LLC-1/FasL/GM-CSF.

4878 18470901 Multiple-dose granulocyte-macrophage-colony-stimulating factor plus 23-valent polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia: a prospective, randomized trial of safety and immunogenicity.
4879 18480847 Here, we evaluated Her-2/neu-specific humoral and cellular immune responses in immunized monkeys after immunization with nonreplicating adenovirus (AdHM) expressing the extracellular and transmembrane domain of human Her-2/neu (HM) and/or naked DNA vaccine (pHM-hGM-CSF) expressing human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor together with HM.
4880 18480847 Priming of monkeys with AdHM generated Her-2/neu-specific long-lasting antibody production.
4881 18480847 Furthermore, these Her-2/neu-specific antibodies produced by AdHM immunization, some of which shared epitope specificity with Herceptin, were able to induce antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity against Her-2-expressing target cells.
4882 18480847 Cellular immune responses were elicited in all monkeys immunized with Her-2/neu-expressing vaccine; interferon-gamma was secreted when these splenocytes were restimulated with Her-2/neu-expressing autologous cells, and immunization with AdHM induced Her-2/neu-specific lymphoproliferative responses.
4883 18480847 Thus, we can conclude that our genetic vaccines efficiently elicited Her-2/neu-specific humoral and cellular immune responses without causing severe adverse effects in nonhuman primates and that as such they warrant further clinical investigation.

4893 18550728 Subsequently, the serum and cardiac levels of IFN-gamma and tumor necrosis factor alpha and infiltration of inflammatory infiltrate in the heart were decreased in vaccinated mice during the course of infection and chronic disease development.
4894 18628184 Although the commonly used agents, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and granulocytemacrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), have been used interchangeably, it is clear that they have different effects on immune function and immune priming.
4895 18636165 The effect of the treatment was not enhanced by the simultaneous administration of non-oncogenic, genetically modified TC-1 cells expressing either IL-2, IL-12 or GM-CSF, and, in fact, the oncolytic effect of the virus was even less expressed in some instances.

4904 18791167 We reported previously that administration of MIP-1alpha mobilized a population of F4/80(-)B220(-)CD11c+ DC precursors into peripheral blood by the expression of CCR1 and CCR5.
4905 18791167 In this study, we identified a new subset of CCR6+CCR1(-)CCR5(-)B220(-)CD11c(+) cells in MIP-1alpha-administered mice.
4906 18791167 When cultured with GM-CSF, IL-4, and TNF-alpha, these cells differentiated into mature DCs, possessing the typical morphologic characteristics, phenotypes, and antigen-presenting function (termed CCR6+ DC precursors).
4907 18791167 Taken together, this study further demonstrates the mechanism of DC precursor mobilization induced by MIP-1alpha; that is, besides mobilizing DC precursors with CCR1 and CCR5 expressions, MIP-1alpha recruited F4/80+CD11c(-) monocyte/macrophage-producing MIP-3alpha, which finally mobilized the CCR6+ DC precursor subset to amplify the B220(-)CD11c+ DC precursor population.
4908 18793758 The monocytes were then cultured in a closed system using gas permeable Vuelife fluoroethylene propylene (FEP) bags and X-vivo-15 media containing 10 ng/ml granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulation factor (GM-CSF) and 5 ng/ml Interleukin (IL) 4.

5015 19282460 Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a potent adjuvant in cancer vaccination; however, the specific role of endogenous GM-CSF remains unknown.
5016 19282460 First, we vaccinated C57BL/6 mice lacking either GM-CSF, IL-5, or beta-common chain (betac), a receptor subunit essential for GM-CSF and IL-5 signaling, with melanoma cells engineered to produce GM-CSF.
5017 19282460 Tumor vaccination was effective in both GM-CSF(-/-) and IL-5(-/-) mice, showing that protective immunization is independent of both endogenous cytokines.

5054 19428907 Further analysis of protection induced by the MIC3 DNA vaccine against T. gondii: CD4 and CD8 T cells are the major effectors of the MIC3 DNA vaccine-induced protection, both Lectin-like and EGF-like domains of MIC3 conferred protection.
5055 19428907 We performed the adoptive transfer of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T lymphocytes from pMIC3i immunized mice to naive ones and the role of humoral immunity was evaluated by in vitro invasion assays.

5179 20099135 The activity of several potent adjuvants, including incomplete Freund's adjuvant, CpG oligodeoxynucleotides, and alum, has been shown to be due at least in part to the induction of cytokines, including type I interferons (IFNs), IFN-gamma, interleukin-2 (IL-2), and IL-12, that play key roles in the regulation of innate and adaptive immunity.
5180 20099135 Although a number of cytokines including IFN-alpha, IFN-gamma, IL-2, IL-12, IL-15, IL-18, IL-21, GM-CSF, and Flt-3 ligand have been shown to potentiate the immune response to vaccination in various experimental models, the full potential of cytokines as vaccine adjuvants remains to be established.
5181 20117947 The results showed a robust rubella-specific inflammatory cytokine response characterized by high median [inter-quartile range (IQR)] secretion levels (in pg/mL) of IL-6 [3681.0 (3160.0, 4052.0)], GM-CSF [28.0 (23.6, 32.6)], and TNF-alpha [29.7 (-7.0, 89.2)].

5183 20117947 Age at vaccination, enrollment, and time elapsed between last vaccination and enrollment was significantly associated with the outcome of IL-2, IL-6, and IFN-gamma secretion.

5189 20153794 Of the total 265 differentially expressed genes identified in this study, 6 clusters of genes were identified to be tightly coexpressed, many of which are likely modulated by cytokines including type 1 interferons (IFNs) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor.
5190 20153794 Moreover, it is suggested that the IFN-stimulated response element is likely to be a potential bidirectional promoter, and the CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein might cooperate with the E2F transcription factor family in the regulation of the cell cycle in the early immune response induced by the influenza vaccine.

5192 20153795 In the present study, we developed the tumor vaccine expressing IL-21 in the GPI-anchored form together with secreting GM-CSFs and investigated its antitumor efficacy in C57BL/6 mouse model.

5194 20153795 The results showed that the pRSC/IL-21-gpi-GM-CSFs had no cell cycle and proliferative state impact on the B16F10 cells after transfected, and that the tumor vaccine B16F10/IL-21-gpi-GM-CSFs increased the cytotoxicities of NK cells and CD8(+)CTL, enhanced the level of serum IFN-gamma, augmented therapy of tumor effect and prolonged survival time in the tumor-bearing mice immunized with the tumor vaccine B16F10/IL-21-gpi-GM-CSFs.

5211 20160101 PD-1 and CTLA-4 combination blockade expands infiltrating T cells and reduces regulatory T and myeloid cells within B16 melanoma tumors.
5212 20160101 Vaccination with irradiated B16 melanoma cells expressing either GM-CSF (Gvax) or Flt3-ligand (Fvax) combined with antibody blockade of the negative T-cell costimulatory receptor cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) promotes rejection of preimplanted tumors.
5213 20160101 Despite CTLA-4 blockade, T-cell proliferation and cytokine production can be inhibited by the interaction of programmed death-1 (PD-1) with its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2 or by the interaction of PD-L1 with B7-1.
5214 20160101 Here, we show that the combination of CTLA-4 and PD-1 blockade is more than twice as effective as either alone in promoting the rejection of B16 melanomas in conjunction with Fvax.
5215 20160101 Combination PD-1 and CTLA-4 blockade increases effector T-cell (Teff) infiltration, resulting in highly advantageous Teff-to-regulatory T-cell ratios with the tumor.
5216 20160101 The fraction of tumor-infiltrating Teffs expressing CTLA-4 and PD-1 increases, reflecting the proliferation and accumulation of cells that would otherwise be anergized.
5217 20160101 IFN-gamma production increases in both the tumor and vaccine draining lymph nodes, as does the frequency of IFN-gamma/TNF-alpha double-producing CD8(+) T cells within the tumor.
5218 20160101 These results suggest that combination blockade of the PD-1/PD-L1- and CTLA-4-negative costimulatory pathways allows tumor-specific T cells that would otherwise be inactivated to continue to expand and carry out effector functions, thereby shifting the tumor microenvironment from suppressive to inflammatory.
5219 20220777 CD8(+) T cells primed with the RHAMM-derived epitope R3, which is restricted by human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A2, effectively lyse RHAMM(+) CLL cells.
5220 20220777 Six HLA-A2(+) CLL patients were vaccinated four times at biweekly intervals with the R3 peptide (ILSLELMKL; 300 microg per dose) emulsified in incomplete Freund's adjuvant; granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (100 microg per dose) was administered concomitantly.
5221 20220777 In patients with clinical responses, we found increased frequencies of R3-specific CD8(+) T cells that expressed high levels of CD107a and produced both interferon-gamma and granzyme B in response to antigen challenge.
5222 20220777 Thus peptide vaccination in six CLL patients was safe and could elicit to some extent specific CD8(+) T-cell responses against the tumor antigen RHAMM.
5223 20221274 The PBSCs were cultured in the X-VIVO 20 medium supplemented with the Flt-3 Ligand (FL), GM-CSF, IL-4 and TNF-alpha for 12 days.

5225 20413296 As has been discussed with respect to the use of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-SCF) as an adjuvant, the failures of clinical trials may be explained, in part, by a vaccine-specific adverse event, i.e. the induction of an 'inconvenient immune response' that inhibits pre-existing host immunity.
5226 20427631 The CMV pp65 peptide pool and the superantigen Staphylococcus enterotoxin B (SEB) induced higher proportions of CD8+ effector T cells expressing gamma interferon (IFN-gamma), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor in the oldest study group, while only SEB induced increased responses in the middle-aged study group.
5227 20427631 Notably, CMV-specific multiple cytokine expression patterns revealed higher proportions of IFN-gamma- and TNF-alpha-coexpressing CD8+ T cells exclusively in the oldest study group.
5228 20427631 These qualitative differences were absent in SEB-induced CD8+ effector T cells, although quantitative differences were detected.

5232 20463104 Thirty-two of 38 (84%) vaccinees were reactive by the CD4(+) T-cell FASCIA-WB, and 7 of 38 (18%) also exhibited CD8(+) T-cell responses.
5233 20463739 In subcutaneous and metastatic tumour models, tumour-targeted delivery of NMD factor-specific siRNAs conjugated to oligonucleotide aptamer ligands led to significant inhibition of tumour growth that was superior to that of vaccination with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-expressing irradiated tumour cells, and could be further enhanced by co-stimulation.

5241 20601076 Mice vaccinated with parasite ribosomal proteins purified from Leishmania infantum plus saponin showed a specific production of IFN-γ, IL-12 and GM-CSF after in vitro stimulation with L. infantum ribosomal proteins.
5242 20601076 In both models, protection was correlated to an IL-12-dependent production of IFN-γ by CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells that activate macrophages for the synthesis of NO.
5243 20601076 In the protected mice a decrease in the parasite-mediated IL-4 and IL-10 responses was also observed.
5244 20601594 Leishmaniasis, a vector-borne disease ranked among the six most important tropical infectious diseases by the World Health Organization, has been treated clinically with crude or defined vaccine preparations or cytokines, such as IFN-gamma and GM-CSF, in combination with chemotherapy.

5280 21039466 MoLCs showed a lower expression of CD83, CD86, HLA-DR and CCR7 compared with MoDCs, regardless of their maturational status.
5281 21039466 Both immature and mature MoLCs secreted higher quantities of IL-23 compared with MoDCs and this finding correlated with a higher secretion of IL-17 in co-culture of MoLCs with allogeneic CD4(+) T cells.
5282 21039466 Mature MoLCs, which produced higher levels of IL-12 and lower levels of IL-10 compared with mature MoDCs, were more potent at inducing interferon-γ (IFN-γ) production by CD4(+) T cells in the co-culture system.
5283 21074057 Immune checkpoint proteins: a new therapeutic paradigm for cancer--preclinical background: CTLA-4 and PD-1 blockade.
5284 21074057 Promising clinical data have already been generated in melanoma and other tumor types with human antibodies directed against cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) and programmed death-1 (PD-1).
5285 21074057 In contrast, much of the early work with anti-CTLA-4 antibodies indicated that it had a potent therapeutic effect only when combined with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-transduced tumor vaccines, and that the antibody alone was effective only in the most immunogenic tumor models in mice.
5286 21074057 Murine experiments also suggested that CTLA-4 abrogation might function via important effects on natural T-regulatory cells that were CD4(+), CD25(+high), and FOXp3(+), but this has not been borne out in experiments using peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients treated with anti-CTLA-4 antibodies, and unlike in animals, in humans the exact mechanism(s) by which CTLA-4 abrogation induced an anti-tumor effect is still unclear.
5287 21074057 Abrogation of PD-1 functions via different immune signaling pathways than CTLA-4 and is likely to have a different spectrum of effects than blocking CTLA-4.

5464 21533229 At the peak response time point, PBMC from Ad5-seronegative vaccinees secreted significantly more IP-10 in response to Gag (p = 0.008), and significantly more IP-10 (p = 0.0009), IL-2 (p = 0.006) and IL-10 (p = 0.05) in response to Ad5 empty vector than PBMC from Ad5-seropositive vaccinees.

5473 21570434 Cytotoxicity to MUC1-expressing human and murine tumors was shown also in T cells obtained from HLA-A2 transgenic mice and BALB/c syngeneic mice immunized with the MUC1-SP-L and GM-CSF.
5474 21601043 To further define the role of chemokines in rabies pathogenesis and protection, chemokine genes such as MIP-1α, RANTES, IP-10, and macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC) have been cloned into RABV genome.
5475 21601043 It has been found that recombinant RABVs expressing RANTES or IP-10 induce high and persistent expression of these chemokines, resulting in massive infiltration of inflammatory cells into the central nervous system (CNS) and development of diseases and death in the mouse model.
5476 21601043 However, recombinant RABVs expressing MIP-1α, MDC, as well as GM-CSF further attenuate RABV by inducing a transient expression of chemokines, infiltration of inflammatory cells, enhancement of blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability.

5698 22802961 CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) do not only influence self-antigen specific immune responses, but also dampen the protective effect induced by a number of vaccines.
5699 22802961 The impact of CD4(+)CD25(+) Tregs on vaccines against schistosomiasis, a neglected tropical disease that is a major public health concern, however, has not been examined.

5702 22802961 These findings indicate that partial CD25(+) cell depletion fails to enhance the effectiveness of the schistosome vaccine, possibly due to IL-10 production by CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells, or other cell types, after CD25(+) cell depletion during vaccination.

5708 22860107 Naïve C57BL/6 mice were vaccinated with ESC along with a source of granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in order to provide immunostimulatory adjuvant activity.

5710 22904313 Peripheral blood monocytes were treated with GM-CSF and IL-4 to yield immature DCs, which were matured by addition of LPS and CD40 ligand (CD40L), with or without ESAT-6.
5711 22904313 ESAT-6 inhibited LPS/CD40L-induced DC expression of costimulatory molecules, reduced DC-stimulated allogeneic T cell proliferation and IL-2 and IFN-γ production, and enhanced IL-17 production.
5712 22904313 ESAT-6 inhibited LPS/CD40L-induced DC production of IL-12 and enhanced that of IL-23 and IL-1β, without affecting secretion of TNF-α, IL-6, or IL-8 through specific interaction with immature DCs.
5713 22904313 Medium from ESAT-6-conditioned DCs increased IL-17 and reduced IFN-γ production by T cells stimulated with anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28, and ESAT-6-induced IL-17 production was blocked by neutralizing both IL-23 and IL-1β.
5714 22904313 ESAT-6 reduced LPS/CD40L-stimulated transcription of IL-12p35 and enhanced that of IL-23p19 through inhibition of IFN regulatory factor-1 and upregulation of activating transcription factor-2 and c-Jun, transcriptional regulators of IL-12p35 and IL-23p19, respectively.
5715 22904313 We conclude that ESAT-6 increases DC production of IL-23 and IL-1β while inhibiting that of IL-12, thus enhancing Th17 at the expense of protective Th1 responses.

5748 22936657 We here demonstrated that BLT1-deficient mice rejected subcutaneous tumor challenge of GM-CSF gene-transduced WEHI3B (WGM) leukemia cells (KO/WGM) and elicited robust antitumor responses against second tumor challenge with WEHI3B cells.
5749 22936657 During GM-CSF-induced tumor regression, the defective LTB4/BLT1 signaling significantly reduced tumor-infiltrating myeloid-derived suppressor cells, increased the maturation status of dendritic cells in tumor tissues, enhanced their CD4(+) T-cell stimulation capacity and migration rate of dendritic cells that had phagocytosed tumor-associated antigens into tumor-draining lymph nodes, suggesting a positive impact on GM-CSF-sensitized innate immunity.
5750 22936657 Furthermore, KO/WGM mice displayed activated adaptive immunity by attenuating regulatory CD4(+) T subsets and increasing numbers of Th17 and memory CD44(hi)CD4(+) T subsets, both of which elicited superior antitumor effects as evidenced by adoptive cell transfer.

5802 23577175 The pro-inflammatory cytokines tested Interleukin (IL)-6, IL17A, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α did not influence IFN-α responses except TNF-α, which promoted responses induced by FMDV.
5803 23577175 The haematopoietic cytokines Fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt3-L) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) had enhancing effects on pDC activation at least in one of the protocols tested.

5805 23623859 We analyzed cellular (IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-12, IL-13, IFN-γ, TNF-α, GM-CSF) and humoral (IgG and IgM) immune response in 81 HIV-infected and 30 HIV-negative subjects, before (T0) and 4 weeks (T1) after receiving a single dose of trivalent MF59-adjuvanted influenza vaccine.
5806 23631767 Cytokine production from BMDCs treated with the AuNP-Es revealed that only Rod-E-treated cells produced significant levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18), indicating that Rod-Es activated inflammasome-dependent cytokine secretion.
5807 23631767 Meanwhile, Sphere40-Es and Cube-Es both significantly induced inflammatory cytokine production, including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-6, IL-12, and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF).
5808 23633484 Dual blockade of PD-1 and CTLA-4 combined with tumor vaccine effectively restores T-cell rejection function in tumors.
5809 23633484 In this study, we document parallel regulation of CD8(+) T cells and Foxp3(+) Tregs by programmed death-1 (PD-1, PDCD1).
5810 23633484 In addition, we identify an additional role of CTL antigen-4 (CTLA-4) inhibitory receptor in further promoting dysfunction of CD8(+) T effector cells in tumor models (CT26 colon carcinoma and ID8-VEGF ovarian carcinoma).
5811 23633484 Two thirds of CD8(+) tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) expressed PD-1, whereas one third to half of CD8(+) TIL coexpressed PD-1 and CTLA-4.
5812 23633484 Double-positive (PD-1(+)CTLA-4(+)) CD8(+) TIL had characteristics of more severe dysfunction than single-positive (PD-1(+) or CTLA-4(+)) TIL, including an inability to proliferate and secrete effector cytokines.
5813 23633484 Blockade of both PD-1 and CTLA-4 resulted in reversal of CD8(+) TIL dysfunction and led to tumor rejection in two thirds of mice.
5814 23633484 Double blockade was associated with increased proliferation of antigen-specific effector CD8(+) and CD4(+) T cells, antigen-specific cytokine release, inhibition of suppressive functions of Tregs, and upregulation of key signaling molecules critical for T-cell function.
5815 23633484 When used in combination with GVAX vaccination (consisting of granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor-expressing irradiated tumor cells), inhibitory pathway blockade induced rejection of CT26 tumors in 100% of mice and ID8-VEGF tumors in 75% of mice.
5816 23633484 Our study indicates that PD-1 signaling in tumors is required for both suppressing effector T cells and maintaining tumor Tregs, and that PD-1/PD-L1 pathway (CD274) blockade augments tumor inhibition by increasing effector T-cell activity, thereby attenuating Treg suppression.

5895 24480625 Furthermore, vaccine studies in Batf3(-/-) mice revealed that CD8(+) DCs are required to affect tumor protection, as vaccines in these mice were deficient in cytotoxic T lymphocytes priming and IL-12 induction in comparison with wild-type.

5901 24507356 The results showed that the treatment of macrophages with CS3 could not only increase the nitric oxide (NO) release and the cytokines TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β production significantly, but also enhance the inducible NOS (iNOS) expression, NF-κBp65 nuclear translocation, Erk1/2 and SAPK/JNK phosphorylation.
5902 24507356 The combination of CS3 with GM-CSF upregulated immature BMDCs to express major histocompatibility complex II (MHCII) and CD11c surface markers, CD40, CD80 and CD86 costimulatory molecules, as well as the cytokines of IL-12p70 and IL-6.

5919 24598447 In addition, mB7-DC-Fc increased IFN-γ and IL-2 production and decreased IL-4 and IL-10 production in vitro, indicating that mB7-DC-Fc tips the Th1/Th2 balance toward Th1 dominance, which is more favorable for antitumor immunity.
5920 24598447 Furthermore, mB7-DC-Fc decreased the PD-1(+) proportion of CD8(+) T cells in vitro and tumor-infiltrating CD8(+) T cells in vivo, suggesting that mB7-DC-Fc may maintain tumor-infiltrating CD8(+) T cells in a nonexhausted state.

5934 24699863 DCs were prepared from the mononuclear cells isolated from patients using IL-2/GM-CSF and loaded with tumor antigens; CIK cells were prepared by incubating peripheral blood lymphocytes with IL-2, IFN-γ, and CD3 antibodies.
5935 24713322 In some cases (e.g., tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-α], interleukin 22 [IL-22], and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor [GM-CSF]), liver cells exhibited even higher relative gene expression, whereas fewer genes exhibited differential expression in lung cells.

5947 24768453 A third group (n=5) was vaccinated with CFE from the three strains formulated with Emulsigen-D and also containing recombinant bovine granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor while, a control group (n=5) was not vaccinated.
5948 24777831 PIAS1 and STAT-3 impair the tumoricidal potential of IFN-γ-stimulated mouse dendritic cells generated with IL-15.
5949 24777831 We report here that the tumoricidal potential of mouse DCs generated from myeloid precursors with GM-CSF and IL-15 (IL-15 DCs) can be triggered with the Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 ligand lipopolysaccharide to a similar extent compared with that of their counterparts, conventionally generated with IL-4 (IL-4 DCs).
5950 24777831 In contrast, interferon (IFN)-γ induces the cytotoxic activity of IL-4 but not IL-15 DCs.
5951 24777831 Although the IFN-γ-STAT-1 signaling pathway is overall functional in IL-15 DCs, IFN-γ fails to induce iNOS expression in these cells. iNOS expression is negatively controlled in IFN-γ-stimulated IL-15 DCs by the cooperation between the E3 SUMO ligase PIAS1 and STAT-3, and can be partially restored with PIAS1 siRNA and STAT-3 inhibitors.
5952 24778317 Here, we report that the growth of B16 melanoma is substantially delayed in these Qa-1-mutant mice after therapeutic immunization with B16 melanoma cells engineered to express granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor compared with Qa-1 B6-WT controls.
5953 24788575 The management of high-risk melanoma has historically included primary surgical resection with or without lymphadenectomy followed by an array of adjuvant options including radiation therapy or immunomodulatory therapies such as interferon-α, granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor, and a multitude of vaccines.
5954 24788575 While the role of vaccines in the adjuvant setting of high-risk melanoma presently remains unclear, recent advances in immunotherapy for melanoma including development of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibodies have demonstrated meaningful clinical responses.

5958 24806510 STAT3 null DCs expressed high levels of MHC-II, secreted more IL-12p70, IL-10, and TNFα were better antigen presenters in vitro.

5967 24807710 The expansion of the CD8α(-) subpopulation of DCs through injection of WT mice with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) DNA reduced the amount of latency and PD-1 expression in the TG of infected mice.
5968 24810636 Coculture of CD11b(+) Gr-1(high) granulocytic MDSCs with antigen-stimulated T cells and simultaneous blockade of IFN-γ by the use of anti-IFN-γ blocking antibody, IFN-γ(-/-) effector T cells, IFN-γR(-/-) MDSCs or STAT1(-/-) MDSCs led to upregulation of Bcl2a1 in CD11b(+) Gr-1(high) cells, improved survival, and enhanced their suppressor function.
5969 24810636 Molecular studies revealed that GM-CSF released by antigen-stimulated CD8(+) T cells induced Bcl2a1 upregulation, which was repressed in the presence of IFN-γ by a direct interaction of phosphorylated STAT-1 with the Bcl2a1 promotor.
5970 24810636 Our data suggest that IFN-γ/ STAT1-dependent regulation of Bcl2a1 regulates survival and thereby suppressor function of granulocytic MDSCs.

6018 25060667 Immunization of mice with HA0S within TI-complexes comprising different MGDGs resulted in an approximately 2-fold increase of the levels of anti-HA0S antibodies and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) compared with those induced by HA0S alone.
6019 25075718 AJS75 induced or up-regulated the protein expression of 12 cytokines (IL-12p40, IL-12p40/p70, IFN-γ, IL-13, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, sTNFR I, sTNFR III, IL-3 and IL-9) and 10 chemokines (Eotaxin, I-TAC, MIG, MIP-1α, RANTES, TECK, Fracatlkine, FasL, M-CSF and GM-CSF) in the injected muscles.
6020 25116755 A feasibility study of cyclophosphamide, trastuzumab, and an allogeneic GM-CSF-secreting breast tumor vaccine for HER2+ metastatic breast cancer.
6021 25116755 Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-secreting tumor vaccines are bioactive, but limited by disease burden and immune tolerance.

6035 25128840 As a cytokine adjuvant, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) has been demonstrated to play central roles in the enhancement of the immune response and protection elicited by experimental vaccines.
6036 25174880 Here, we compared phenotype and functional characteristics of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) generated in the presence of IL-4/GM-CSF (IL4-DCs) and IFNα/GM-CSF (IFN-DCs).
6037 25174880 We showed that IFN-DCs displayed semi-mature phenotype and expressed higher level of CD123, TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and B7-H1 molecules in comparison with IL4-DCs.
6038 25174880 LPS-stimulated IFN-DCs were characterized by greater production of Th1/pro-inflammatory (IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-17), Тh2/anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10, IL-5), hematopoietic growth factors (G-CSF) and chemokines (MCP-1).
6039 25174880 LPS-stimulated IFN-DCs possessed higher direct cytotoxic activity against TRAIL-sensitive tumor cell line Jurkat and similar cytotoxicity against TRAIL-resistant tumor HEp-2 cells.
6040 25174880 Besides, IFN-DCs and IL4-DCs equally induced apoptosis of activated CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells.
6041 25186601 Rindopepimut consists of a 14-mer peptide that spans the length of EGF receptor variant III, a mutant variant of EGF receptor found on approximately 30% of primary GBM, conjugated to the carrier protein keyhole limpet hemocyanin.
6042 25186601 Vaccination with rindopepimut has been shown to specifically eliminate cells expressing EGF receptor variant III.
6043 25186601 Phase II clinical trials have suggested that vaccination of newly diagnosed GBM patients with rindopepimut plus adjuvant granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor results in prolonged progression-free and overall survival with minimal toxicity.
6044 25207465 First, a significant number of DCs are recruited to an injectable thermosensitive mPEG-PLGA hydrogel through sustained release of chemoattractants, in particular, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF).
6045 25247707 Here, we found that Env-APRIL signaled through the two receptors, BCMA and TACI.
6046 25247707 Thus, in contrast to the 4-helix cytokines IL-21 and GM-CSF, the TNF-superfamily members CD40L and APRIL induced negligible autoantibodies.
6047 25250027 TLR2 Signaling is Required for the Innate, but Not Adaptive Response to LVS clpB.
6048 25250027 We sought to determine whether TLR2 signaling was required during the immune response to LVS clpB.
6049 25250027 TLR2 knock-out (TLR2 KO) mice previously infected with LVS clpB are completely protected during a lethal challenge with LVS.
6050 25250027 Furthermore, the kinetics and magnitude of the primary T-cell response in B6 and TLR2 KO mice are similar indicating that TLR2 signaling is dispensable for the adaptive immune response to LVS clpB.
6051 25250027 TLR2 signaling was important, however, for the innate immune response to LVS clpB.
6052 25250027 IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-17, MIP-1α, and TNF-α production depended on TLR2 signaling, while GM-CSF, IFN-γ, and VEGF production were completely independent of TLR2 signaling.
6053 25250027 IL-6, IL-12, IP-10, KC, and MIG production were partially dependent on TLR2 signaling.
6054 25250027 Together our data indicate that the innate immune response to LVS clpB requires TLR2 signaling for the maximal innate response, whereas TLR2 is not required for the adaptive immune response.
6055 25267176 The expression levels of granzyme K and CD8 in DNA-vaccinated chickens were significantly (p < 0.05) higher than those in unvaccinated chickens upon IBDV challenge at 0.5 or 1 dpc.
6056 25267176 Bursal transcripts related to innate immunity and inflammation, including TLR3, MDA5, IFN-α, IFN-β, IRF-1, IRF-10, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, iNOS, granzyme A, granzyme K and IL-10, were upregulated or significantly (p < 0.05) upregulated at 3 dpc and later in unvaccinated chickens challenged with IBDV.
6057 25267176 The expression levels of genes related to immune cell regulation, apoptosis and glucose transport, including CD4, CD8, IL-2, IFN-γ, IL-12(p40), IL-18, GM-CSF, GATA-3, p53, glucose transporter-2 and glucose transporter-3, were upregulated or significantly (p < 0.05) upregulated at 3 dpc and later in unvaccinated chickens challenged with IBDV.
6058 25267176 Taken together, the results indicate that the bursal transcriptome involved in innate immunity, inflammation, immune cell regulation, apoptosis and glucose transport, except for granzyme K and CD8, was not differentially expressed in DNA-vaccinated chickens protected from IBDV challenge.
6059 25268493 The inner foreskin of healthy males at risk of HIV infection harbors epithelial CD4+ CCR5+ cells and has features of an inflamed epidermal barrier.
6060 25268493 However, multiple suprabasal tight junction differences were identified: 1) inner foreskin stratum corneum was thinner than outer (p = 0.035); 2) claudin 1 had extended membrane-bound localization throughout inner epidermis stratum spinosum (p = 0.035); 3) membrane-bound claudin 4 was absent from inner foreskin stratum granulosum (p = 0.035); and 4) occludin had increased membrane deposition in inner foreskin stratum granulosum (p = 0.042) versus outer.
6061 25268493 A setting of inflammation was further supported by inner foreskin epithelial explant cultures secreting higher levels of GM-CSF (p = 0.029), IP-10 (p = 0.035) and RANTES (p = 0.022) than outer foreskin, and also containing an increased density of CCR5+ and CD4+ CCR5+ cells (p = 0.022).

6065 25343523 Murine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor expressed from a bicistronic simian immunodeficiency virus-based integrase-defective lentiviral vector does not enhance T-cell responses in mice.
6066 25343523 As a prelude to immunization studies in nonhuman primates, we compared in mice the immunogenicity of a simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-based integrase (IN)-defective lentiviral vector (IDLV) encoding the model antigen-enhanced green fluorescence protein (eGFP) in the presence or absence of the murine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (mGM-CSF) expressed from an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) sequence.
6067 25343523 Results indicated that the mGM-CSF was unable to improve the magnitude and quality of the immune response against the eGFP transgene in the context of the SIV-based IDLV, as evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot (ELISPOT) assays for interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and by intracellular cytokine staining for IFN-γ, interleukin-2 (IL-2), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α).

6074 25363661 Cultured supernatant from in vitro-treated primary human GBM cells were also shown to increase suppression, which was independent of accessory suppressor cells or T regulatory cell generation, and could act directly on CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell proliferation.
6075 25363661 While a number of key immunosuppressive cytokines were overexpressed in the treated cells, including IL-10, IL-6 and GM-CSF, suppression could be alleviated in a number of treated GBM lines by inhibition of prostaglandin E2.
6076 25387894 The augmentation of high-titer antibodies to ATP6S1 is associated with favorable clinical outcomes in patients who received vaccination with autologous, irradiated tumor cells engineered to secrete GM-CSF and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
6077 25387894 Recombinant ATP6S1 protein was used in an ELISA to assess potential correlation with humoral immune responses and changes in immunity related to CTLA-4 blockade with ipilimumab in these patients.
6078 25387894 We observed a broad array of CD4(+) and CD8(+) cellular responses against ATP6S1, including the identification of several MHC class I and II ATP6S1 epitopes.
6079 25415283 PD-1/PD-L1 blockade together with vaccine therapy facilitates effector T-cell infiltration into pancreatic tumors.
6080 25415283 However, single-agent checkpoint inhibitors including agents that alter immune suppressive signals in other human cancers such as cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4), programmed death 1 (PD-1), and its ligand PD-L1, have failed to demonstrate objective responses when given as single agents to PDA patients.
6081 25415283 In this study, we evaluated blockade of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway.
6082 25415283 We found that PD-L1 is weakly expressed at a low frequency in untreated human and murine PDAs but treatment with a granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor secreting PDA vaccine (GVAX) significantly upregulates PD-L1 membranous expression after treatment of tumor-bearing mice.
6083 25415283 Furthermore, PD-1 blockade increased effector CD8 T lymphocytes and tumor-specific interferon-γ production of CD8 T cells in the tumor microenvironment.
6084 25415283 Immunosuppressive pathways, including regulatory T cells and CTLA-4 expression on T cells were overcome by the addition of vaccine and low-dose cyclophosphamide to PD-1 blockade.
6085 25415283 Collectively, our study supports combining PD-1 or PD-L1 antibody therapy with a T cell inducing agent for PDA treatment.
6086 25424939 DC-dependent T helper polarization was altered, leading to a decreased production of IFN-γ IP10 and GM-CSF and increased levels of IL-8, IL-9, and MIP-1α.
6087 25448555 Stimulation of HO-1-u1 cells alone and the epithelial/DC co-culture by incubation with liposomes, virosomes and influenza virus lead reproducibly to the release of inflammatory cytokine GM-CSF.
6088 25481267 Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor was administered during radiotherapy to a metastatic site in patients with metastatic solid tumors to translate evidence obtained in a murine model of syngeneic mammary carcinoma treated with cytokine FLT-3L and radiation.

6094 25487886 Furthermore, the PCV2-Cap + PoIL-2, Cap-PoGM-CSF, and PCV2-Cap + PoGM-CSF vaccines elicited stronger lymphocyte proliferative responses and greater IL-2 and interferon gamma (IFN-γ) secretion.
6095 25496030 This phase I/II study assessed the safety, immunity and clinical response to 6 or 12 bi-weekly intradermal ImMucin vaccines, co-administered with human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor to 15 MUC1-positive multiple myeloma (MM) patients, with residual or biochemically progressive disease following autologous stem cell transplantation.
6096 25496030 ImMucin vaccination induced a robust increase in γ-interferon (IFN-γ-producing CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells (≤80-fold), a pronounced population of ImMucin multimer CD8+ T-cells (>2%), a 9·4-fold increase in peripheral blood mononuclear cells proliferation and 6·8-fold increase in anti-ImMucin antibodies, accompanied with T-cell and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity.
6097 25500571 DNA-protein immunization using Leishmania peroxidoxin-1 induces a strong CD4+ T cell response and partially protects mice from cutaneous leishmaniasis: role of fusion murine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor DNA adjuvant.

6099 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).
6100 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(+).
6101 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.

6103 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(+).
6104 25523015 Within these TAAs are peptide sequences that bind major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and class II molecules recognized by T cells triggering antigen-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T-cell and CD4+ T-helper cell responses.
6105 25523015 The majority of vaccine trials have used peptides, including single-peptide and multiple-peptide formulations using either MHC class I and class II epitopes in oil-based emulsions alone or in combination with an adjuvant, such as granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, and Toll-like receptor agonists.
6106 25550942 The results showed that the percentage of CD3(+) CD56(+) CIK cells after treatment increased significantly while the percentage of CD4(+) CD25(+) Treg cells decreased (P < 0.05).
6107 25550942 We then studied and identified the mechanisms of the anti-tumor effects of the vaccines by analyzing a series of cytokines that are commonly involved in tumor progression and ascitic development including granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-10 (IL-10), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-α (TGF-α), tumor necrosis factor-β (TGF-β), Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1).
6108 25610730 Injection of either fluorescently-labelled ACRs or blebs alone did not affect the number or distribution of migrated DC subsets from skin biopsies after 48 hours, but resulted in a general up-regulation of the co-stimulatory molecules CD83 and CD86 on skin DCs that had ingested apoptotic material.
6109 25610730 We have previously shown that i.d. administration of GM-CSF and IL-4 resulted in preferential migration of a mature and highly T cell-stimulatory CD11hiCD1a+CD14- dermal DC subset.
6110 25610730 Here, we found that co-injection of GM-CSF and IL-4 together with either ACRs or blebs resulted in uptake efficiencies within this dermal DC subset of 7.6% (±6.1%) and 19.1% (±15.9%), respectively, thus revealing a significantly higher uptake frequency of blebs (P < 0.02).
6111 25610730 Nevertheless, in contrast to i.d. administration of ACR, the injection of blebs lead to effective cross-presentation of MART-1 to specific CD8+ effector T cells.
6112 25610730 Injection of either fluorescently-labelled ACRs or blebs alone did not affect the number or distribution of migrated DC subsets from skin biopsies after 48 hours, but resulted in a general up-regulation of the co-stimulatory molecules CD83 and CD86 on skin DCs that had ingested apoptotic material.

6115 25610730 Nevertheless, in contrast to i.d. administration of ACR, the injection of blebs lead to effective cross-presentation of MART-1 to specific CD8+ effector T cells.
6116 25632844 The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) previously approved the therapeutic vaccine, sipuleucel-T, which is composed of autologous antigen-presenting cells cultured with a fusion protein [prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GMCSF)].
6117 25632844 Using a super gene expression (SGE) system that we previously established to amplify the production of a recombinant protein, significant amounts of PAP-fused cytokines [human GMCSF, interleukin-2 (IL2), IL4, IL7 and mouse GMCSF and IL4] were obtained.
6118 25632844 We also investigated the in vivo therapeutic effects of multiple PAP-fused cytokines in a mouse prostate cancer model bearing prostate-specific antigen (PSA)- and PAP-expressing tumors.

6120 25632844 The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) previously approved the therapeutic vaccine, sipuleucel-T, which is composed of autologous antigen-presenting cells cultured with a fusion protein [prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GMCSF)].
6121 25632844 Using a super gene expression (SGE) system that we previously established to amplify the production of a recombinant protein, significant amounts of PAP-fused cytokines [human GMCSF, interleukin-2 (IL2), IL4, IL7 and mouse GMCSF and IL4] were obtained.
6122 25632844 We also investigated the in vivo therapeutic effects of multiple PAP-fused cytokines in a mouse prostate cancer model bearing prostate-specific antigen (PSA)- and PAP-expressing tumors.

6124 25691328 Galectin-3 Shapes Antitumor Immune Responses by Suppressing CD8+ T Cells via LAG-3 and Inhibiting Expansion of Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells.
6125 25691328 We found that patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) who responded to a granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor-secreting allogeneic PDA vaccine developed neutralizing antibodies to galectin-3 after immunization.
6126 25691328 We show that galectin-3 binds activated antigen-committed CD8(+) T cells only in the tumor microenvironment.
6127 25691328 Galectin-3-deficient mice exhibit improved CD8(+) T-cell effector function and increased expression of several inflammatory genes.
6128 25691328 Galectin-3 binds to LAG-3, and LAG-3 expression is necessary for galectin-3-mediated suppression of CD8(+) T cells in vitro.
6129 25691328 Lastly, galectin-3-deficient mice have elevated levels of circulating plasmacytoid dendritic cells, which are superior to conventional dendritic cells in activating CD8(+) T cells.
6130 25691328 Thus, inhibiting galectin-3 in conjunction with CD8(+) T-cell-directed immunotherapies should enhance the tumor-specific immune response.

6163 25819159 In this study, the potential of DNA vaccine by subcutaneously (s.c.) administered block/homo-mixed (B/H) polyplex micelles carrying genes encoding tumor-associated antigen SART3 as well as CD40L and GM-CSF was compared with the intraperitoneal (i.p.) and intravenous (i.v.) administrations or electroporation method.
6164 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.
6165 25842187 Two MP sizes were made: phagocytosable MPs were fabricated encapsulating vitamin D3 or insulin B(9-23) peptide, while unphagocytosable MPs were fabricated encapsulating TGF-β1 or GM-CSF.
6166 25845753 Two of the tested six fractions (namely F2 and F4) were characterized as polysaccharide-rich fractions, and were able to induce high levels of IFN-γ, and low levels of IL-4 and IL-10 in the spleen cells.
6167 25845753 The associations between LiHyp1/F2 and LiHyp1/F4 were able to induce an in vivo Th1 response, which was primed by high levels of IFN-γ, IL-12, and GM-CSF, by low levels of IL-4 and IL-10; as well as by a predominance of IgG2a antibodies in the vaccinated animals.
6168 25853654 Dogs were immunized with two-doses of DNA vaccine (pcDNA3.1 encoding TcG1, TcG2, and TcG4 antigens plus IL-12- and GM-CSF-encoding plasmids) followed by two doses of glutaraldehyde-inactivated T. rangeli epimastigotes (TrIE); and challenged with highly pathogenic T. cruzi (SylvioX10/4) isolate.
6169 25877890 Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is a cytosolic receptor that senses both exogenous and endogenous cytosolic cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs), activating TBK1/IRF3 (interferon regulatory factor 3), NF-κB (nuclear factor κB), and STAT6 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 6) signaling pathways to induce robust type I interferon and proinflammatory cytokine responses.
6170 25877890 CDN ligands were formulated with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-producing cellular cancer vaccines--termed STINGVAX--that demonstrated potent in vivo antitumor efficacy in multiple therapeutic models of established cancer.
6171 25877890 Tumors from STINGVAX-treated mice demonstrated marked PD-L1 (programmed death ligand 1) up-regulation, which was associated with tumor-infiltrating CD8(+)IFNγ(+) T cells.
6172 25944279 Consistently, at the peak of the disease greater number of reactivated CD4+CD134+CD45RC- T lymphocytes was retrieved from male rat spinal cord.
6173 25944279 Additionally, oppositely to the expression of mRNAs for IL-12/p35, IL-10 and IL-27/p28, the expression of mRNA for IL-23/p19 was upregulated in male rat spinal cord mononuclear cells.
6174 25944279 Within this subpopulation, the IL-17+IFN-γ+:IL-17+IL-10+ cell ratio was shifted towards IL-17+IFN-γ+ cells, which have prominent tissue damaging capacity.
6175 25944279 This was associated with an upregulated expression of mRNAs for IL-1β and IL-6, but downregulated TGF-β mRNA expression in male rat spinal cord mononuclear cells.
6176 25944279 The enhanced GM-CSF mRNA expression in these cells supported the greater pathogenicity of IL-17+ T lymphocytes infiltrating male spinal cord.
6177 25944279 In the inductive phase of the disease, contrary to the draining lymph node, in the spinal cord the frequency of CD134+ cells among CD4+ T lymphocytes and the frequency of IL-17+ cells among T lymphocytes were greater in male than in female rats.
6178 25949867 STAT5 activation, Foxp3 expression, and hnRNPE1 activation mediated by PI3K/Akt signaling were required for Dab2 expression during GM-CSF-derived BMDC development regardless of TGF-β signaling.
6179 25949867 Dab2-silencing was accompanied by enhanced IL-12 and IL-6 expression, and an improved capacity of DC for antigen uptake, migration and T cell stimulation, which generated strong CTL in vaccinated mice.
6180 25951230 In a head-to-head comparison with "IL-4 DCs" used routinely for clinical studies, IL-15 DCs were found to induce a more activated, cytotoxic effector phenotype in NK cells, in particular in the CD56bright NK cell subset.
6181 25951230 With the exception of GM-CSF, no significant enhancement of cytokine/chemokine secretion was observed following co-culture of NK cells with IL-15 DCs.
6182 25951230 IL-15 DCs, but not IL-4 DCs, promoted NK cell tumoricidal activity towards both NK-sensitive and NK-resistant targets.
6183 25951230 The observed lack of membrane-bound IL-15 on "gold-standard" IL-4 DCs and their consequent inability to effectively promote NK cell cytotoxicity may have important implications for the future design of DC-based cancer vaccine studies.
6184 25951312 Our data showed that D/P vaccine elicited CD4+ (30-38%) and CD8+ (22-42%) T cells maintained an effector phenotype up to 180 dpv, and were capable of responding to antigenic stimulus or challenge infection by a rapid expansion (CD8>CD4) with type 1 cytokine (IFNγ+ and TFNα+) production and cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL) activity.
6185 25951312 Co-delivery of IL-12- and GMCSF-encoding expression plasmids provided no significant benefits in enhancing the anti-parasite efficacy of the vaccine-induced T cell immunity.
6186 25951312 Booster immunization (bi) with recombinant TcG2/TcG4 proteins 3-months after primary vaccine enhanced the protective efficacy, evidenced by an enhanced expansion (1.2-2.8-fold increase) of parasite-specific, type 1 CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and a potent CTL response capable of providing significantly improved (3-4.5-fold) control of infecting T. cruzi.
6187 25965393 Monocytes were directly induced to self-differentiate into DCs (SmartDC-TRP2) upon transduction with a tricistronic LV encoding for cytokines (granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin-4 (IL-4)) and a melanoma antigen (tyrosinase-related protein 2 (TRP2)).
6188 26031574 Based on the results of preclinical studies, we designed a phase Ib trial (TSPP/VAC1) to investigate, in a dose escalation setting, the safety and the biological activity of TSPP vaccination alone (arm A) or in combination with GM-CSF and IL-2 (arm B) in cancer patients.
6189 26042527 Both of these adjuvants enhanced the magnitude of antigen-specific cellular immune responses on par with those induced by the well-characterized cytokine adjuvants IL-12 and GM-CSF.

6204 26099574 Both clones showed a specific production of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin-12 (IL-12) and granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) after in vitro spleen cells stimulation, and they were able to induce a partial protection against infection.
6205 26099574 Protection was associated with an IL-12-dependent production of IFN-γ, mediated mainly by CD8(+) T cells, against parasite proteins.
6206 26099574 Protected mice also presented low levels of IL-4 and IL-10, as well as increased levels of parasite-specific IgG2a antibodies.

6252 26367128 Spleen cells from mice inoculated with the individual proteins or with the polyproteins vaccine plus saponin showed a protein-specific production of IFN-γ, IL-12, and GM-CSF after an in vitro stimulation, which was maintained after infection.
6253 26367276 We previously demonstrated that vaccine-induced IL-17A+ CD8+ T cells (Tc17) are required for resistance against lethal fungal pneumonia in CD4+ T cell-deficient hosts, whereas the individual type I cytokines IFN-γ, TNF-α and GM-CSF, are dispensable.
6254 26367276 The poor accumulation of MyD88-deficient Tc17 cells was not linked to an early onset of contraction, nor to accelerated cell death or diminished expression of anti-apoptotic molecules Bcl-2 or Bcl-xL.
6255 26367276 Moreover, intrinsic IL-1R and TLR2, but not IL-18R, were required for MyD88 dependent Tc17 responses.
6256 26372923 We identified CD3(-)CD20(-)HLA-DR(-)CD14(+)CD33(+)CD11b(+) cells in peripheral blood of healthy rhesus macaques.
6257 26372923 Administration of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (CSF) and granulocyte CSF increased their incidence to 5.3% ± 3.4%.
6258 26372923 Freshly isolated or cryopreserved MDSCs from mobilized monkeys incorporated in cultures of anti-CD3- and anti-CD28-stimulated autologous T cells markedly suppressed CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell proliferation and cytokine secretion (interferon γ, IL-17A).
6259 26372923 Moreover, these MDSCs enhanced CD4(+)CD25(hi)Foxp3(+) regulatory T cell (Treg) expansion while inhibiting proliferation of activated memory T cells and increasing Treg relative to effector and terminally differentiated memory T cells.
6260 26372923 Inhibition of arginase-1, but not inducible nitric oxide synthase activity, partially reversed the inhibitory effect of the MDSCs on CD8(+) T cell proliferation.
6261 26448779 Aging diminishes the resistance of AO rats to EAE: putative role of enhanced generation of GM-CSF Expressing CD4+ T cells in aged rats.
6262 26457798 Protected mice showed anti-Leishmania IgG2a antibodies and a predominant IL-12-driven IFN-γ production (mainly produced by CD4(+) T cells) against parasite proteins, whereas unprotected controls showed anti-Leishmania IgG1 antibodies and parasite-mediated IL-4 and IL-10 responses.
6263 26457798 Vaccinated mice showed an anti-LiHyD IgG2a humoral response, and their spleen cells were able to secrete LiHyD-specific IFN-γ, IL-12 and GM-CSF cytokines before and after infection.
