85 10878341 Addition of neutralizing Abs to the cultures showed that the suppression was mediated by TGF-beta but not by IL-10 or IFN-gamma.
86 10878341 The self-MHC-reactive clones also inhibited proliferation of primary CD4+ T cells and TT-specific T cell clones, but in this case the inhibition was mediated by both IL-10 and TGF-beta.
87 10878341 We found that prestimulation of non-T cells for 8 h with PWM or for 48 h for rCD40L results in non-T cells capable of inducing self-MHC-reactive T cell to produce high levels of TGF-beta and IL-10.
88 10878341 Finally, addition of CTLA-4/Fc or blocking F(ab')2 anti-CTLA-4 mAb, plus optimally stimulated non-T cells, to cultures of self-MHC-reactive clones inhibited the induction of TGF-beta but not IL-10 or IFN-gamma production.

98 11090045 Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) present on activated T cells has a strong binding affinity to both B7-1 and B7-2 molecules, which are primarily expressed on APCs.
99 11283156 B7-DC fails to bind the B7.1/2 receptors CD28 and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen (CTLA)-4, but does bind PD-1, a receptor for B7-H1/PD-L1.
100 11283156 In particular, B7-DC strongly costimulates interferon gamma but not interleukin (IL)-4 or IL-10 production from isolated naive T cells.
101 11419179 The anti-tumor activity of anti-CTLA-4 is mediated through its induction of IFN gamma.
102 11419179 In vitro, anti-CTLA-4 enhanced IFN gamma production by lymph node cells obtained from tumor-bearing mice (351 pg/ml vs 77 pg/ml).
103 11419179 Additionally, fibrosarcoma-challenged animals treated with anti-CTLA-4 had elevated levels of the IFN-inducible enzyme 2-5-OAS in draining lymph nodes (850 pM vs 260 pM for controls) and an increased amount of IFN gamma in tumor lysates (at day 7, 620 pg/100 micrograms vs 160 pg/100 micrograms in controls).
104 11419179 The importance of IFN gamma was demonstrated by the ability of neutralizing antibodies to completely abrogate the anti-tumor effects of anti-CTLA-4.
105 11419179 Moreover, fibrosarcoma cells were shown to be exquisitely sensitive to IFN gamma-mediated class I upregulation and histological examination of tumors from anti-CTLA-4-treated mice revealed a trend toward increased tumor cell apoptosis and decreased angiogenesis.
106 11419179 These studies have demonstrated that one mechanism for the anti-tumor effects of anti-CTLA-4 relates to its ability to augment IFN gamma production, resulting in an increased expression of class I on the tumor, enhanced apoptosis, and a decrease in blood vessel growth.

115 11419179 Additionally, fibrosarcoma-challenged animals treated with anti-CTLA-4 had elevated levels of the IFN-inducible enzyme 2-5-OAS in draining lymph nodes (850 pM vs 260 pM for controls) and an increased amount of IFN gamma in tumor lysates (at day 7, 620 pg/100 micrograms vs 160 pg/100 micrograms in controls).
116 11419179 The importance of IFN gamma was demonstrated by the ability of neutralizing antibodies to completely abrogate the anti-tumor effects of anti-CTLA-4.
117 11419179 Moreover, fibrosarcoma cells were shown to be exquisitely sensitive to IFN gamma-mediated class I upregulation and histological examination of tumors from anti-CTLA-4-treated mice revealed a trend toward increased tumor cell apoptosis and decreased angiogenesis.
118 11419179 These studies have demonstrated that one mechanism for the anti-tumor effects of anti-CTLA-4 relates to its ability to augment IFN gamma production, resulting in an increased expression of class I on the tumor, enhanced apoptosis, and a decrease in blood vessel growth.

137 11446744 The costimulatory pathway that includes CD80, CD86, CD28, and CTLA-4 plays a key role in regulating T cell activation and tolerance and is a promising therapeutic target.
138 11446744 We found that DeltaCD86 was able to inhibit the engagement of FcCTLA-4 but not of FcCD28 to CD80 and CD86 expressed on COS cells.
139 11446744 Coadministration of plasmid pDelta86 encoding for the extracellular domains of CD86 along with a plasmid encoding for the glycoprotein D (pgD) of herpes simplex virus-2 (a membrane-bound protein) by the im route in mice resulted in a strong inhibition of the cell-mediated immune response in the spleen and in draining lymph nodes.
140 11483267 The cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and L-selectin represent attractive ligands for use in the targeting of antigen to APCs and lymph nodes.
141 11483267 CTLA-4 binds with high affinity to the B7 membrane antigen on APCs, while L-selectin functions as a lymphocyte homing marker and binds to CD34 on the surface of high endothelial venule cells.

144 11514604 We have previously shown that small B16 melanomas can be successfully treated using a combination of anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen (CTLA)-4 monoclonal antibody with a granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) producing irradiated tumor cell vaccine.
145 11514604 Analysis of the response in successfully treated mice revealed elevated levels of CD8(+) T cells specific for a nonameric peptide consisting of residues 180-188 of the melanocyte differentiation antigen tyrosinase-related protein (TRP)2.
146 11514604 There was no evidence of reactivity to the melanocyte antigens gp100, tyrosinase, Mart1/MelanA, or TRP1.
147 11514604 In particular, if mice received a prophylactic vaccine consisting of anti-CTLA-4 and B16-GM-CSF before tumor challenge, full protection was obtained even in the absence of CD8(+) T cells.

152 11698427 Ag-specific CD8 T cell responses were compared between wild-type (+/+) and CD28-deficient (CD28(-/-)) mice following an acute infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV).
153 11698427 During the primary response, there was a substantial activation and expansion of LCMV-specific CD8 T cells in both +/+ and CD28(-/-) mice.
154 11698427 However, the magnitude of the primary CD8 T cell response to both dominant and subdominant LCMV CTL epitopes was approximately 2- to 3-fold lower in CD28(-/-) mice compared with +/+ mice; the lack of CD28-mediated costimulation did not lead to preferential suppression of CD8 T cell responses to the weaker subdominant epitopes.
155 11698427 As seen in CD28(-/-) mice, blockade of B7-mediated costimulation by CTLA4-Ig treatment of +/+ mice also resulted in a 2-fold reduction in the anti-LCMV CD8 T cell responses.
156 11698427 Loss of CD28/B7 interactions did not significantly affect the generation and maintenance of CD8 T cell memory; the magnitude of CD8 T cell memory was approximately 2-fold lower in CD28(-/-) mice as compared with +/+ mice.
157 11698427 Further, in CD28(-/-) mice, LCMV-specific memory CD8 T cells showed normal homeostatic proliferation in vivo and also conferred protective immunity.
158 11698427 Therefore, CD28 signaling is not necessary for the proliferative renewal and maintenance of memory CD8 T cells.

160 11860706 Like CD28 (a positive regulator) it binds to B7-1 and B7-2, and there is no known natural selective ligand.
161 11860706 However, a single amino acid substitution in B7-1 (W88 > A; denoted B7-1wa) abrogates binding to CD28 but not to CTLA-4.

209 12193750 In this study, we measured the prevalence of T(reg) that coexpress CD4 and CD25 in the PBLs, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, and regional lymph node lymphocytes from 65 patients with either pancreas or breast cancer.
210 12193750 T(reg) constitutively coexpressed CTLA-4 and CD45RO markers, and secreted TGF-beta and IL-10 but did not secrete IFN-gamma.
211 12193750 When cocultured with activated CD8(+) cells or CD4(+)25(-) cells, T(reg) potently suppressed their proliferation and secretion of IFN-gamma.
212 12244190 Flagellin administration increased the expression of B7-1 on splenic dendritic cells, and coinjection of CTLA4-Ig, which is known to block B7 function in vivo, completely ablated the adjuvant effect on CD4 T cells.
213 12406655 Intramuscular injection of plasmid DNA encoding an inactivated form of the phospholipase D (PLD) antigen linked to CTLA4-Ig resulted in the induction of a strong memory response and sterile immunity following challenge in 45% of the animals.

268 12439343 Thus, CTLA4 blockade can enhance the measurement of Ag-specific T-cell responses and the expansion of T cells for clinical studies.
269 12439343 In addition, the combination of CTLA4 blockade and Ab targeting of tumor to DCs is an effective method for the cross-presentation of tumor cell antigens.
270 12439343 CTLA4 blockade maximizes antitumor T-cell activation by dendritic cells presenting idiotype protein or opsonized anti-CD20 antibody-coated lymphoma cells.
271 12439343 CTLA4 is a negative regulator of the costimulatory signals induced by the interaction of CD28 on T cells and B7 on dendritic cells (DCs).
272 12439343 Antibodies (Abs) against CTLA4 can block its function and increase the activation of T cells primed to recognize antigens.
273 12439343 The effect of CTLA4 blockade on the cross-presentation of tumor antigens by DCs to T cells was examined.
274 12439343 Idiotype-specific activation occurred in CD8+ and CD4+ T-cell populations and was up to 58 fold higher with CTLA4 blockade.

276 12439343 Thus, CTLA4 blockade can enhance the measurement of Ag-specific T-cell responses and the expansion of T cells for clinical studies.
277 12439343 In addition, the combination of CTLA4 blockade and Ab targeting of tumor to DCs is an effective method for the cross-presentation of tumor cell antigens.
278 12594842 CD28 is an important costimulatory molecule for T cells, and it has been shown that cell surface expression of its ligands, CD80 and CD86, can enhance cellular immune responses against tumor cells, however, these tumor cells do not normally express the ligands.
279 12594842 Many new vaccines will be based upon soluble recombinant antigens, and in vaccination with these antigens CD80 and CD86 would normally be expressed on activated antigen-presenting cells and additional stimulation through CD28 would not be predicted to enhance responses further.
280 12594842 The mode of action of CD28 antibodies appears to be linked to their ability to signal through CD28, but not to bind the negative feedback regulatory antigen, CTLA-4.
281 12626601 CTLA-4 blockade enhances the therapeutic effect of an attenuated poxvirus vaccine targeting p53 in an established murine tumor model.
282 12626601 In vivo Ab depletion confirmed that the antitumor effect was primarily CD8 and to a lesser extent CD4 dependent.
283 12682289 MDX-CTLA4 stimulated extensive tumor necrosis with lymphocyte and granulocyte infiltrates in three of three metastatic melanoma patients and the reduction or stabilization of CA-125 levels in two of two metastatic ovarian carcinoma patients previously vaccinated with irradiated, autologous granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor-secreting tumor cells.

285 12709261 Thirteen H-2b-binding peptides derived from six potentially overexpressed proteins in p53-/- thymoma (SM7) cells were studied for immunogenecity and vaccine-induced prevention of tumor growth in mice inoculated with SM7 tumor cells.
286 12709261 SM7 inoculated mice treated with a blocking antibody against the inhibitory T cell signal transducing molecule CTLA4 appeared to delay tumor take, suggesting that SM7 thymoma cells are recognized by the adaptive immune system of the host.
287 12709261 Our data would indicate that vaccination with immunogenic peptides derived from potentially overexpressed tumor proteins, as identified by mRNA expression profiling of p53-/- thymoma cells, at best results in a weak tumor protection thus questioning this way of detection of new tumor rejection epitopes.
288 12782611 Dual immune functions were shown with CD4+ T cells and certain matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activities favoring tumor progression and CD8+ T cells and certain heat shock proteins having antitumor action.
289 12782611 Stromal-derived factor-1 induced MMP9, which in turn regulated the bioavailability of vascular endothelial growth factor and the cascade of its tumor-favoring effects, whereas granulocyte colony-stimulating factor decreased MMP9 and the consequences of its action.
290 12782611 The prevention of TRAMP prostate tumor in transgenic mice by anti-CTLA4 antibody plus vaccine was described, as was the translation of these regimens to the clinics.
291 12798647 MSP4/5 was inserted into VR1020 (secretory), monocyte-chemotactic protein-3 (MCP-3) (chemoattractant), and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4) (lymph node targeting) vectors.
292 12798647 Despite antibody responses comparable to recombinant protein immunization, boosting mice primed with antigens encoded by MCP-3 and CTLA4 vectors did not enhance survival compared to vector control groups.
293 12798647 MSP4/5 was inserted into VR1020 (secretory), monocyte-chemotactic protein-3 (MCP-3) (chemoattractant), and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4) (lymph node targeting) vectors.

295 12810660 The results show that combination immunotherapy consisting of vaccination with a synthetic peptide corresponding to an immunodominant CTL epitope derived from tyrosinase-related protein-2 administered with CpG-ODN adjuvant and followed by systemic injection of anti-CTLA-4 antibodies increased the survival of mice against the poorly immunogenic B16 melanoma.
296 12810660 Moreover, the antitumor effect of the combination immunotherapy required the participation of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes and was accompanied by the induction of antitumor CD4+ T-cell responses.
297 12857999 Our first paradigmatic inhibitory TSCP, CTLA-4 * Fas ligand, binds to APC, and in so doing, simultaneously blocks B7 costimulation (via CTLA-4) and sends inhibitory trans signals (via Fas ligand) to T cells with dramatic efficacy.
298 12860163 Encouraging attempts have been made with plasmapheresis, indomethacin, low-dose cyclophosphamide, anti CTLA-4, anti FAS ligand and, perhaps in the future, more judiciously applied chemotherapy.
299 12860163 Recombinant IL-1 and IL-2 by themselves, and in combination, were inactive.
300 14512535 Importantly, we instituted three different vaccination regimens to test the efficacy of DNA vaccines encoding gp120 and CTLA4:gp120 in the induction of both cellular (CD8(+)) and antibody responses.
301 14512535 -i.m. regimen induced only modest levels of gp120-specific CD8(+) T cells, but the antibody response by CTLA4:gp120 DNA was nearly 16-fold higher than that induced by gp120 DNA.

316 14607947 C57BL/6 mice infected with a nonlethal (Py17X) strain of Plasmodium yoelii produce TGF-beta from 5 days postinfection; this correlates with resolution of parasitemia, down-regulation of TNF-alpha, and full recovery.
317 14607947 In contrast, infection with the lethal strain Py17XL induces high levels of circulating TGF-beta within 24 h; this is associated with delayed and blunted IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha responses, failure to clear parasites, and 100% mortality.
318 14607947 Neutralization of early TGF-beta in Py17XL infection leads to a compensatory increase in IL-10 production, while simultaneous neutralization of TGF-beta and IL-10R signaling leads to up-regulation of TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma, prolonged survival in all, and ultimate resolution of infection in 40% of Py17XL-infected animals.
319 14607947 TGF-beta production can be induced in an Ag-specific manner from splenocytes of infected mice, and by cross-linking surface CTLA-4.
320 14607947 CD25(+) and CD8(+) cells are the primary source of TGF-beta following Py17X stimulation of splenocytes, whereas Py17XL induces significant production of TGF-beta from adherent cells.
321 14607947 In mice immunized against Py17XL, the early TGF-beta response is inhibited and is accompanied by significant up-regulation of IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha and rapid resolution of challenge infections.
322 14628286 Some novel approaches being taken include increasing cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responses, induction of immune responses in mucosal tissue surfaces, peptide-based vaccines, oligomeric envelope protein-based vaccine regimens, recombinant Tat protein vaccines, natural killer T-cell (NKT) ligand serving as adjuvant, and fusion of SIV gag with the extracellular domain of CTLA-4 as adjuvant.
323 14634142 A high affinity Ab (10D1) that blocked the binding of CTLA-4 to the B7-1 and B7-2 ligands and had cross-reactivity with macaque CTLA-4 was chosen for further development.
324 14645154 In IL-10(-/-) mice, inflammation of the vaccination site was increased with larger numbers of IL-12p40(+), MHC II(+) and CD86(+) cells in the dermal exudate, and was associated with elevated levels of skin-derived IL-12p40 and IL-1beta.
325 14645154 Moreover, such mice had increased numbers of CD4(+) sdLN cells that were CD25(+), CD28(+) or CD152(+) and accessory cells that were CD40(+) or MHC II(+).
326 14645154 Finally, the secretion of IFN-gamma (and IL-12p40) by in vitro cultured sdLN cells was substantially raised in IL-10(-/-) mice, but much reduced in IL-12p40(-/-) mice, resulting in the development of highly polarized T(h)1 and T(h)2 cytokine profiles in the two groups of mice respectively.
327 15057911 The current study shows that a murine model of AIH can be generated by DNA immunization against type 2 AIH self-antigens (P450 2D6 and formiminotransferase-cyclodeaminase).
328 15057911 A pCMV plasmid containing the N-terminal region of mouse CTLA-4 and the antigenic region of human CYP2D6 (672-1,377 bp) and human formiminotransferase cyclodeaminase (FTCD; 1,232-1,668 bp) was used for DNA immunization of C57BL/6 female mice.
329 15057911 Mainly CD4+ lymphocytes, but also CD8+ and B lymphocytes, were found in the liver.
330 15064826 Resistance in visceral leishmaniasis involves both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, and interleukin (IL)-2, interferon (IFN)-gamma, and IL-12, the latter in a mechanism independent of IFN-gamma and linked to transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta production.
331 15064826 Susceptibility involves IL-10 but not IL-4, and B cells.
332 15064826 In immune animals, upon re-infection, the elements involved in resistance are different, i.e., CD8+ T cells and IL-2.
333 15064826 Interactions of the co-stimulatory molecule family B7-CTLA-4 leading to increased level of TGF-beta as well as apoptosis of CD4+ T cells and inhibition of macrophage apoptosis by Leishmania infection are other components participating in immunosuppression.
334 15067316 Blockade of T cell costimulation reveals interrelated actions of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in control of SIV replication.
335 15067316 In vivo blockade of CD28 and CD40 T cell costimulation pathways during acute simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection of rhesus macaques was performed to assess the relative contributions of CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and Ab responses in modulating SIV replication and disease progression.
336 15067316 Transient administration of CTLA4-Ig and anti-CD40L mAb to SIV-infected rhesus macaques resulted in dramatic inhibition of the generation of both SIV-specific cellular and humoral immune responses.
337 15067316 Acute levels of proliferating CD8+ T cells were associated with early control of SIV viremia but did not predict ensuing set point viremia or survival.
338 15067316 The level of in vivo CD4+ T cell proliferation during acute SIV infection correlated with concomitant peak levels of SIV plasma viremia, whereas measures of in vivo CD4+ T cell proliferation that extended into chronic infection correlated with lower SIV viral load and increased survival.
339 15067316 These results suggest that proliferating CD4+ T cells function both as sources of virus production and as antiviral effectors and that increased levels of CD4+ T cell proliferation during SIV infections reflect antigen-driven antiviral responses rather than a compensatory homeostatic response.
340 15067316 These results highlight the interrelated actions of CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses in vivo that modulate SIV replication and pathogenesis.
341 15068853 CTLA-4 blockade enhanced B16 tumor rejection in mice immunized against the melanoma differentiation antigens tyrosinase-related protein 2 and gp100, and this effect was stronger when anti-CTLA-4 was administered with booster vaccinations.

345 15255186 Evidence for an interaction between leptin, T cell costimulatory antigens CD28, CTLA-4 and CD26 (dipeptidyl peptidase IV) in BCG-induced immune responses of leptin- and leptin receptor-deficient mice.
346 15255186 We assessed changes of the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV, CD26) in the context of leptin or leptin receptor deficiency.
347 15255186 C57BL/6 mice, Leptin-deficient mice (ob/ob mice, B6.V-Lep<ob>) and Leptin-receptor-deficient mice (db/db mice, B6.Cg-m+/+Lepr) were infected with B.
348 15255186 The expression of DPP IV/CD26 on splenocytes was higher in ob/ob mice than in wild-type animals, and lower in db/db mice, and decreased upon stimulation with BCG in ob/ob mice only.
349 15289349 Monoclonal antibody depletion experiments demonstrated that the adjuvant effects of CpG ODN and CTLA-4 blockades were CD8 dependent.
350 15289349 CpG ODN were partially natural killer cell dependent and ineffective in Toll-like Receptor 9(-/-) and interleukin 6(-/-) mice, whereas CTLA-4 blockade was partially CD4 dependent and functional in Toll-like Receptor 9(-/-) and interleukin 6(-/-) mice.

456 16552058 The adenylate cyclase toxoid (ACT) of Bordetella pertussis is capable of delivering its N-terminal catalytic domain into the cytosol of CD11b-expressing professional antigen-presenting cells such as myeloid dendritic cells.
457 16552058 This allows delivery of CD8+ T-cell epitopes to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I presentation pathway.

468 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.
469 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.
470 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.
471 16754847 Together, these findings establish a key role for the NKG2D pathway in the clinical activity of cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 antibody blockade and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor secreting tumor cell vaccines.

511 17005692 CD127+CCR5+CD38+++ CD4+ Th1 effector cells are an early component of the primary immune response to vaccinia virus and precede development of interleukin-2+ memory CD4+ T cells.
512 17005692 Between days 11 and 14 postinoculation, there was a peak of proliferating CCR5+CD38+++ CD4+ effector cells which contained the cytotoxic granule marker T-cell intracellular antigen 1 and included gamma interferon (IFN-gamma)-producing vaccinia virus-specific CD4+ T cells.
513 17005692 The majority of these initial vaccinia virus-specific CD4+ T cells were CD127+ and produced interleukin-2 (IL-2) but not CTLA-4 in response to restimulation in vitro.
514 17005692 Between days 14 and 21, there was a switch from IFN-gamma and IL-2 coexpression to IL-2 production only, coinciding with a resting phenotype and an increased in vitro proliferation response.
515 17005692 The early CCR5+CD38+++ vaccinia virus-specific CD4+ T cells were similar to our previous observations of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-specific CD4+ T cells in primary HIV type 1 (HIV-1) infection, but the vaccinia virus-specific cells expressed much more CD127 and IL-2 than we previously found in their HIV-specific counterparts.
516 17005692 The current study provides important information on the differentiation of IL-2+ vaccinia virus-specific memory cells, allowing further study of antiviral effector CD4+ T cells in healthy adults and their dysfunction in HIV-1 infection.
517 17114433 Oral tolerance induction with antigen conjugated to cholera toxin B subunit generates both Foxp3+CD25+ and Foxp3-CD25- CD4+ regulatory T cells.
518 17114433 We investigated the extent to which this oral tolerance is mediated by CD25+CD4+ regulatory T cells (T(reg)).
519 17114433 Foxp3 was strongly expressed by CD25+ T(reg) from OVA/CTB-treated mice, and treatment also markedly expanded CD25+Foxp3+ T(reg).
520 17114433 Our results demonstrate that oral tolerance induced by CTB-conjugated Ag is associated with increase in TGF-beta and in both the frequency and suppressive capacity of Foxp3+ and CTLA-4+ CD25+ T(reg) together with the generation of both Foxp3+ and Foxp3-CD25- CD4+ T(reg).
521 17215523 In contrast to expectations, BrdU incorporation experiments demonstrated that CTLA-4 expression was associated with normal or even enhanced in vivo proliferation of virus-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells following acute lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus or vaccinia virus infection.
522 17215523 When compared with CTLA-4- T cells directly ex vivo, CTLA-4+ T cells also exhibited normal antiviral effector functions following stimulation with peptide-coated cells, virus-infected cells, plate-bound anti-CD3/anti-CTLA-4, or the cytokines IL-12 and IL-18.

525 17293384 Targeting HER-2/neu in early breast cancer development using dendritic cells with staged interleukin-12 burst secretion.
526 17293384 Before surgical resection, HER-2/neu(pos) DCIS patients (n = 13) received 4 weekly vaccinations of dendritic cells pulsed with HER-2/neu HLA class I and II peptides.
527 17293384 Before vaccination, many subjects possessed HER-2/neu-HLA-A2 tetramer-staining CD8(pos) T cells that expressed low levels of CD28 and high levels of the inhibitory B7 ligand CTLA-4, but this ratio inverted after vaccination.
528 17293384 The vaccinated subjects also showed high rates of peptide-specific sensitization for both IFN-gamma-secreting CD4(pos) (85%) and CD8(pos) (80%) T cells, with recognition of antigenically relevant breast cancer lines, accumulation of T and B lymphocytes in the breast, and induction of complement-dependent, tumor-lytic antibodies.
529 17299718 Immunosuppression during active tuberculosis is characterized by decreased interferon- gamma production and CD25 expression with elevated forkhead box P3, transforming growth factor- beta , and interleukin-4 mRNA levels.
530 17299718 All 3 groups displayed BCG-induced increases in effector and regulatory T cell phenotypes as defined by CD4(+)CD25(lo) and CD4(+)CD25(hi) T cells, respectively.
531 17299718 In case patients with active disease, BCG stimulation induced the lowest increase of CD25, CD4(+)CD25(hi), CTLA-4, and interferon- gamma .
532 17299718 However, these case patients expressed the highest mRNA levels of forkhead box P3, transforming growth factor (TGF)- beta , and interleukin (IL)-4 and a lower T-bet : GATA-3 ratio.
533 17299718 There were no significant differences in IL-4 delta 2, IL-10, or TGF- beta receptor-II mRNA expression between groups.
534 17302859 The hybrid cells stimulated allogeneic and autologous T-cell proliferative responses in vitro to a considerably greater degree than their respective parent myeloma plasma cells, and directly activated both CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell responses.
535 17302859 The enhanced T-cell stimulation correlated with expression of CD80 on the hybrid cells, and was inhibited by CTLA4-Ig fusion protein.
536 17318654 Here, we demonstrate a biological synergy between CTLA-4 blockade and active vaccine therapy consisting of recombinant vaccinia and avipox viruses expressing carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and three T cell costimulatory molecules to enhance antitumor effects.
537 17475646 Functional Foxp3+ CD4+ CD25(Bright+) "natural" regulatory T cells are abundant in rabbit conjunctiva and suppress virus-specific CD4+ and CD8+ effector T cells during ocular herpes infection.
538 17475646 We studied the phenotype and distribution of "naturally" occurring CD4(+) CD25(+) T regulatory cells (CD4(+) CD25(+) nT(reg) cells) resident in rabbit conjunctiva, the main T-cell inductive site of the ocular mucosal immune system, and we investigated their suppressive capacities using herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)-specific effector T (T(eff)) cells induced during ocular infection.
539 17475646 The expression of CD4, CD25, CTLA4, GITR, and Foxp3 was examined by reverse transcription-PCR, Western blotting, and fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis in CD45(+) pan-leukocytes isolated from conjunctiva, spleen, and peripheral blood monocyte cells (PBMC) of HSV-1-infected and uninfected rabbits.
540 17475646 Normal conjunctiva showed a higher frequency of CD4(+) CD25((Bright+)) T cells than did spleen and PBMC.
541 17475646 These cells expressed high levels of Foxp3, GITR, and CTLA4 molecules.
542 17475646 CD4(+) CD25((Bright+)) T cells were localized continuously along the upper and lower palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva, throughout the epithelium and substantia propria.
543 17475646 Conjunctiva-derived CD4(+) CD25((Bright+)) T cells, but not CD4(+) CD25((low)) T cells, efficiently suppressed HSV-specific CD4(+) and CD8(+) T(eff) cells.
544 17475646 The CD4(+) CD25((Bright+)) T-cell-mediated suppression was effective on both peripheral blood and conjunctiva infiltrating T(eff) cells and was cell-cell contact dependent but independent of interleukin-10 and transforming growth factor beta.
545 17475646 Interestingly, during an ocular herpes infection, there was a selective increase in the frequency and suppressive capacity of Foxp3(+) CD4(+) CD25((Bright+)) T cells in conjunctiva but not in the spleen or in peripheral blood.
546 17475646 Altogether, these results provide the first evidence that functional Foxp3(+) CD4(+) CD25((Bright+)) T(reg) cells accumulate in the conjunctiva.
547 17475646 It remains to be determined whether conjunctiva CD4(+) CD25(+) nT(reg) cells affect the topical/mucosal delivery of subunit vaccines that stimulate the ocular mucosal immune system.

559 17673617 Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4), a key negative regulator of T-cell responses, can restrict the antitumor immune response.
560 17851131 Increased frequency of CD4(+)CD25(high) Treg cells inhibit BCG-specific induction of IFN-gamma by CD4(+) T cells from TB patients.
561 17851131 The immune response to tuberculosis (TB) was dominated by both CD4(+) T cells with the T helper 1 type cytokines and CD8(+) T cells.
562 17851131 Recent studies have suggested that the circumstances in which protective or tissue-damaging T cell responses to microbes are affected by the activity of Treg (CD4(+)CD25(high)) cells.
563 17851131 In the present study, we demonstrated that the frequencies of CD4(+)CD25(+) and CD4(+)CD25(high) T cells in TB patients were significantly higher compared to normal individuals.
564 17851131 These Treg cells expressed CTLA-4 and Foxp3 at protein level and displayed activation and memory phenotypes as assessed by flow cytometric analysis.
565 17851131 The frequencies of CD4(+)CD25(high)CTLA-4(+) and CD4(+)CD25(high)Foxp3(+) T cells within the total CD4(+) T cell population were significantly increased in the blood of TB patients compared to healthy donors.
566 17851131 The phenotypic analysis demonstrated that CD4(+)CD25(high) Treg expressed higher levels of CD45RO and HLA-DR, and lower levels of CD45RA compared to CD4(+)CD25(low) and CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells.
567 17851131 The addition of CD4(+)CD25(high) T cells back to cultures could significantly suppress the antigen-specific production of IFN-gamma induced by BCG-stimulated CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells, suggesting that Treg might play a key role in the control of cellular immune responses in TB infection.

576 17913245 In vivo Ab depletion confirmed that the antitumor effect was primarily CD8+ T cells and CD4+ T lymphocytes were required for the induction of CD8+ CTL response in B16F10-SLC-3P-Fc+anti-CTLA-4 mAb-immunized mice.
577 18027152 A new strategy has been identified involving cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA4).
578 18287062 Here we show that periodic infusions of anti-CTLA-4 antibodies after vaccination with irradiated, autologous tumor cells engineered to secrete GM-CSF (GVAX) generate clinically meaningful antitumor immunity without grade 3 or 4 toxicity in a majority of metastatic melanoma patients.
579 18303116 SPAS-1 (stimulator of prostatic adenocarcinoma-specific T cells)/SH3GLB2: A prostate tumor antigen identified by CTLA-4 blockade.
580 18303116 Using a combination of active tumor vaccination in the presence of CTL-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) in vivo blockade, we elicited tumor-specific T cells used to expression clone the first T cell-defined TRAMP tumor antigen, called Spas-1 (stimulator of prostatic adenocarcinoma specific T cells-1).
581 18303116 Spas-1 expression was increased in advanced primary TRAMP tumors.
582 18303116 We show that the immunodominant SPAS-1 epitope SNC9-H(8) arose from a point mutation in one allele of the gene in TRAMP tumor cells, and that immunization with dendritic cells pulsed with SNC9-H(8) peptide resulted in protection against TRAMP-C2 tumor challenge.
583 18303116 In humans, the Spas-1 ortholog SH3GLB2 has been reported to be overexpressed in prostate cancer metastases.

589 18354173 Assessment of Bet v 1-specific CD4+ T cell responses in allergic and nonallergic individuals using MHC class II peptide tetramers.
590 18354173 In this study, we used HLA-DRB1*0101, DRB1*0401, and DRB1*1501 peptide tetramers combined with cytokine surface capture assays to characterize CD4(+) T cell responses against the immunodominant T cell epitope (peptide 141-155) from the major birch pollen allergen Bet v 1, in both healthy and allergic individuals.
591 18354173 Analysis at a single-cell level revealed that allergen-specific CD4(+) T cells from healthy individuals secrete IFN-gamma and IL-10 in response to the allergen, whereas cells from allergic patients are bona fide Th2 cells (producing mostly IL-5, some IL-10, but no IFN-gamma), as corroborated by patterns of cytokines produced by T cell clones.
592 18354173 A fraction of Bet v 1-specific cells isolated from healthy, but not allergic, individuals also expresses CTLA-4, glucocorticoid-induced TNF receptor, and Foxp 3, indicating that they represent regulatory T cells.
593 18463542 Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is a key negative regulator of T-cell activation.
594 18566447 However, DC/breast cancer fusions stimulate a mixed T cell response characterized by the expansion of both activated and regulatory T cell populations, the latter of which is characterized by expression of CTLA-4, FOXP3, IL-10, and the suppression of T cell responses.
595 18566447 Our results demonstrate that IL-12, IL-18, and TLR 9 agonist CpG oligodeoxynucleotides reduce the level of fusion-mediated regulatory T cell expansion.
596 18600180 Costimulatory molecules B7.1 (CD80) and B7.2 (CD86) have improved the efficacy of gene-based and cell-based vaccines in animal models and are under investigation in clinical trials.
597 18600180 However, their efficacy as vaccine adjuvants is likely limited by the fact that they mediate both stimulatory and inhibitory signals to T cells via CD28 and CTLA-4, respectively.
598 18600180 To overcome these limitations, we have generated a B7.1-like, chimeric costimulatory molecule with preferential binding to CD28, named CD28-binding protein (CD28BP), which we combined with a modified, nonself tumor antigen variant of epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM), named TAg25.
599 18600180 In contrast, TAg25 combined with CD28BP induced both CD4 and CD8 T cells specific for EpCAM.
600 18725522 Whereas cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 blockade has shown promising preclinical and clinical results, therapeutic CD4(+)CD25(+) T reg cell depletion has failed to consistently enhance immune-based therapies.
601 18941113 T-cell modulation was accomplished by targeting both effector and regulatory T-cell populations using systemic administration of monoclonal antibodies against OX40, CTLA4, GITR, and folate receptor 4 (FR4).
602 18941113 When combined with intratumoral CpG, it induced antitumor CD4 and CD8 T-cell immunity, cured large and systemic lymphoma tumors without chemotherapy, and provided long-lasting immunity against tumor rechallenge.
603 19001147 Targeted biologic therapies such as anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen (CTLA-4) monoclonal antibodies, either as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy or vaccines, have shown great promise in late-stage melanoma, which has a very poor prognosis.
604 19008459 Toward this end, we screened a murine renal cell carcinoma cDNA expression library with sera from mice vaccinated with irradiated tumor cells engineered to secrete granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF).
605 19008459 High titer antibodies to human PDI were similarly induced in an acute myeloid leukemia patient who achieved a complete response after vaccination with irradiated, autologous GM-CSF-secreting tumor cells in the setting of nonmyeloablative allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
606 19008459 Moreover, ERp5, a closely related disulfide isomerase involved in major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I chain-related protein A (MICA) shedding, also evoked potent humoral reactions in diverse solid and hematologic malignancy patients who responded to GM-CSF-secreting tumor cell vaccines or antibody blockade of cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4).
607 19009291 Also, anti-inflammatory effects on LPS-stimulated monocytes (TNF-alpha is decreased) and costimulatory effects on anti-CD3 stimulated T cells, (enhanced T cell proliferation and proinflammatory cytokine production) are observed.
608 19009291 Both drugs inhibit IL-2-mediated generation of FOXP3 positive CTLA-4 positive CD25high CD4+ T regulatory cells from PBMCs by upto 50%.
609 19009291 Inhibition of T regulatory cell function was not due to changes in TGF-beta or IL-10 production but was associated with decreased T regulatory cell FOXP3 expression.
610 19107404 This study aims at investigating the efficacy of a novel vaccine consisting of modified HPV 16E7 fused with human cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4).
611 19107404 C57BL/6 (H-2b) mice immunized with low dose of the fusion protein (10 microg) produced higher titer antibody and stronger specific CTL response, and expressed higher levels of IFN-gamma and IL-12, compared with those immunized with HPVml6E7 only or admixture of HPVml6E7 and CTLA4, or PBS; and were protected from lethal dose tumor challenge.

614 19155521 Additionally, there was up-regulation of probesets associated with cytotoxic (GZMB, TNFSF10) and regulatory (INDO, CTLA4) activities.
615 19155521 The strongest correlations with neutralizing Ab titers were found for cyclin D2 (CCND2) and galectin (LGALS2).
616 19191906 Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) uniformly suppresses antigen-specific T cells during chronic infection with bacterial, parasitic or viral pathogens.
617 19191906 Although Foxp3(+) CD4(+) T cells are the predominant CTLA-4-expressing cell type in naïve mice, antigen-specific Foxp3(-) CD4(+) cells upregulate CTLA-4 expression after primary L. monocytogenes infection.
618 19191906 Blockade of CTLA-4 results in increased numbers of L. monocytogenes-specific CD4 and CD8 T cells after primary infection with attenuated L. monocytogenes, and confers more rapid bacterial clearance after secondary challenge with virulent L. monocytogenes.

625 19240168 Various monoclonal antibodies (mAb) target immune system molecules to enhance immunity by costimulating T cells (i.e., CD137, OX40, CD40, GITR) or interfering in coinhibitory signals (i.e., CTLA-4, PD-1).
626 19330622 Fusing antigens to cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) represents an effective approach to enhance DNA vaccine efficacy.

644 19556898 T-cell activation requires both antigen presentation to the T-cell receptor and a second signal mediated by CD80 and CD86 on antigen-presenting cells and CD28 on the T cell.
645 19556898 Ligand binding to CD28 on the T-cell surface leads to T-cell proliferation and expression of activating cytokines such as interleukin-2.
646 19556898 Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4), an inhibitory protein expressed on T cells, competes for the same ligands as CD28 and modulates T-cell activation.
647 19556898 Because CTLA-4 has a significantly higher binding efficiency than CD28, CTLA-4 is critical in maintaining immune tolerance to self-antigens and may also limit responses to tumor antigens and vaccine therapy.

652 19617297 Several agents that have shown promising activity in metastatic melanoma including IL-21 and monoclonal antibodies targeting cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (anti-CTLA-4) or CD137 are discussed.
653 19658096 All individuals demonstrated stable IFN-gamma, IL-2 and IL-4 ex vivo ELISPOT effector responses against P. falciparum-infected RBC (iRBC) Ag, 28 and 90 days after challenge.
654 19658096 However, infected RBC-specific central memory responses, as measured by IFN-gamma cultured ELISPOT, were low and unstable over time, despite CD4(+) T cells being highly proliferative by CFSE dilution, and showed an inverse relationship to parasite density.
655 19658096 This activity could not be accounted for by the expression of IL-10, TGF-beta, FOXP3 or CTLA-4, but proliferating T cells expressed high levels of CD95, indicating a pro-apoptotic phenotype.
656 19717225 These agents include mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway inhibitors, anti-angiogenic drugs, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors, insulin-like growth factor (IGF) pathway inhibitors, apoptosis-inducing drugs, endothelin receptor antagonists, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB (RANK) ligand inhibitors, vitamin D analogues, cytochrome P17 enzyme inhibitors, androgen receptor modulators, epigenetic therapies, vaccine therapies, and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen (CTLA)-4 blocking agents.
657 19738077 Previously, we have shown that combining blockade of the T-cell-negative costimulatory molecule CTL-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and vaccination with irradiated B16 tumor expressing granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF; Gvax) promotes rejection of established murine melanomas.
658 19738077 Here we show that, like GM-CSF, the cytokine Flt3 ligand (Flt3L) expressed in B16 and coupled with CTLA-4 blockade promotes both prophylactic and therapeutic rejection of B16.
659 19738077 Further, we show that a combination of Flt3L expression and CTLA-4 blockade can also promote the rejection of established TRAMP prostate adenocarcinomas, proving that the utility of this treatment extends beyond melanoma.

667 20038811 BTLA mediates inhibition of human tumor-specific CD8+ T cells that can be partially reversed by vaccination.
668 20038811 The function of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells, which may protect against both infectious and malignant diseases, can be impaired by ligation of their inhibitory receptors, which include CTL-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death 1 (PD-1).
669 20038811 Recently, B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) was identified as a novel inhibitory receptor with structural and functional similarities to CTLA-4 and PD-1.
670 20038811 Here we have demonstrated that as human viral antigen-specific CD8+ T cells differentiated from naive to effector cells, their surface expression of BTLA was gradually downregulated.
671 20038811 In marked contrast, human melanoma tumor antigen-specific effector CD8+ T cells persistently expressed high levels of BTLA in vivo and remained susceptible to functional inhibition by its ligand herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM).
672 20038811 Such persistence of BTLA expression was also found in tumor antigen-specific CD8+ T cells from melanoma patients with spontaneous antitumor immune responses and after conventional peptide vaccination.
673 20038811 Thus, BTLA activation inhibits the function of human CD8+ cancer-specific T cells, and appropriate immunotherapy may partially overcome this inhibition.

681 20053943 Expansion of FOXP3+ CD8 T cells with suppressive potential in colorectal mucosa following a pathogenic simian immunodeficiency virus infection correlates with diminished antiviral T cell response and viral control.
682 20053943 FOXP3(+)CD8(+) T cells are present at low levels in humans; however, the function of these cells is not known.
683 20053943 In this study, we demonstrate a rapid expansion of CD25(+)FOXP3(+)CD8(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the blood and multiple tissues following a pathogenic SIV infection in rhesus macaques.
684 20053943 These CD8 Tregs expressed molecules associated with immune suppressor function such as CTLA-4 and CD39 and suppressed proliferation of SIV-specific T cells in vitro.

689 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.

741 20384858 Interruption of immune regulatory pathways via CTL-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) blockade or removal of CD4(+) CD25(+) regulatory T (Treg) cells appears to be a promising strategy for cancer immunotherapy.
742 20384858 In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the combination of CTLA-4 blockade and depletion of Treg cells would improve the potency of dendritic cell (DC)-based vaccine in a clinically relevant mouse model, which is transgenic for both carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and HLA-A2 for the treatment of colon carcinoma in a therapeutic setting.
743 20384858 We found that administration of anti-CD25 antibody prior to vaccination or systemic administration of anti-CTLA-4 antibody with the vaccine improved tumour-free survival against CEA-expressing tumours compared with mice immunized with DC-based vaccine alone.
744 20384858 The combined vaccination strategy resulted in increased secretion of IFN-gamma and enhanced HLA-A2-restricted CEA-specific CTL responses.

753 20445343 Enhanced tumor eradication by combining CTLA-4 or PD-1 blockade with CpG therapy.
754 20445343 Previous reports demonstrate that cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4)-blocking antibodies promote T-cell activation and render T effector cells resistant to T regulatory cells (Tregs) whereas programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 blockade results in loss of peripheral tolerance.
755 20445343 Herein, we explored single or combined antibody blockade of CTLA-4 and PD-1 alone or combined with the toll-like receptor agonists CpG or bacillus Calmette-Guérin for treatment of murine experimental bladder cancer.
756 20445343 However, elevated levels of circulating CD107a expressing CD8 T cells were found in the aCTLA-4 plus aPD-1 group.
757 20445343 CpG plus aCTLA-4 or aPD-1 increased the numbers of circulating tumor-specific CD107a expressing CD8 T cells as well as activated (CD25FoxP3-) CD4 splenocytes.
758 20445343 Thus, the combination of CpG with CTLA-4 or PD-1 blockade improved long-term survival and led to increased levels of tumor-reactive T cells and reduced numbers of Tregs at the tumor site.

767 20445343 Herein, we explored single or combined antibody blockade of CTLA-4 and PD-1 alone or combined with the toll-like receptor agonists CpG or bacillus Calmette-Guérin for treatment of murine experimental bladder cancer.
768 20445343 However, elevated levels of circulating CD107a expressing CD8 T cells were found in the aCTLA-4 plus aPD-1 group.
769 20445343 CpG plus aCTLA-4 or aPD-1 increased the numbers of circulating tumor-specific CD107a expressing CD8 T cells as well as activated (CD25FoxP3-) CD4 splenocytes.
770 20445343 Thus, the combination of CpG with CTLA-4 or PD-1 blockade improved long-term survival and led to increased levels of tumor-reactive T cells and reduced numbers of Tregs at the tumor site.

777 20551839 Use of anti-CTLA4 and anti-PD1 antibodies, realization of the importance of co-stimulatory signals, which translated into the use of agonist CD40 monoclonal antibodies, as well as activation of innate immunity through enhanced expression of co-stimulatory molecules on the surface of dendritic cells by TLR agonists are only a few items on the list of recent advances in the treatment of melanoma.
778 20610662 In addition to HLA and insulin genes, the costimulatory molecule CTLA-4 gene is a confirmed type 1 diabetes (T1D) susceptibility gene.
779 20638184 One approach that is currently being investigated is the potentiation of antitumour immune responses through blockade of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4).
780 20692873 Vaccination with the CTLA4-fused DNA not only induced much higher level of anti-HBs antibody, but also increased HBsAg-specific CD8+ response as well as CTL response in BALB/c mice.
781 20721608 Sustained CD28 expression delays multiple features of replicative senescence in human CD8 T lymphocytes.
782 20721608 During aging and chronic infection with HIV-1, there are increased proportions of CD8 T lymphocytes that lack CD28 expression and show additional features of replicative senescence.
783 20721608 Nevertheless, the transduced cultures eventually do reach senescence, which is associated with increased CTLA-4 gene expression and a loss of CD28 cell surface expression.
784 20976449 Trends were also observed in analyzing effector:Treg (CD4(+)CD25(+)CD127(-)FoxP3(+)CTLA4(+)) ratio post- versus pre-vaccination with OS versus HPS.
785 21074057 Immune checkpoint proteins: a new therapeutic paradigm for cancer--preclinical background: CTLA-4 and PD-1 blockade.
786 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).
787 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.
788 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.

812 21148794 Loss of IL-17-producing CD8 T cells during late chronic stage of pathogenic simian immunodeficiency virus infection.
813 21148794 Although IL-17-secreting CD4 (Th17) and CD8 (Tc17) T cells have been reported, very little is known about the latter subset for any infectious disease.
814 21148794 Notably, ∼50% of Tc17 cells also expressed the co-inhibitory molecule CTLA-4, and only a minority (<20%) expressed granzyme B suggesting that these cells possess more of a regulatory than cytotoxic phenotype.
815 21154120 Targeted immunomodulatory therapy is focused primarily on the activation of costimulatory receptors (eg, 4-1BB, OX40 and GITR [glucocorticoid-induced TNF receptor-related gene]) or the blockade of co-inhibitory receptors (eg, CTLA-4, PD-1 and PD-L1) on T-cells during activation and/or effector responses.
816 21170302 CD4+ natural regulatory T cells prevent experimental cerebral malaria via CTLA-4 when expanded in vivo.
817 21170302 Studies in malaria patients indicate that higher frequencies of peripheral blood CD4(+) Foxp3(+) CD25(+) regulatory T (Treg) cells correlate with increased blood parasitemia.
818 21170302 This protection was entirely dependent upon Foxp3(+) cells and resulted in lower parasite biomass, impaired antigen-specific CD4(+) T and CD8(+) T cell responses that would normally promote parasite tissue sequestration in this model, and reduced recruitment of conventional T cells to the brain.
819 21170302 Furthermore, Foxp3(+) cell-mediated protection was dependent upon CTLA-4 but not IL-10.

824 21208850 It may be helpful to note that recent phase II data from a different therapeutic prostate cancer vaccine (Prostvac), as well as phase III data from an anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) blocking agent in metastatic melanoma, also show improved survival without short-term changes in disease progression.
825 21317818 New modalities of immunotherapy, such as melanoma antigen-specific therapeutic vaccination and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) receptor blockade by monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), have been associated with atypical kinetics of tumor response that differ from those observed during cytotoxic treatment.
826 21346053 Vaccination with a high dose of OVA-CTLA-4-pcDNA₃.₁ significantly decreased interleukin-4 (IL-4) and IL-5 levels and eosinophil counts and prevented OVA-induced reduction of the gamma interferon level in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
827 21419713 Expansion of interferon-gamma-producing multifunctional CD4+ T-cells and dysfunctional CD8+ T-cells by glypican-3 peptide library in hepatocellular carcinoma patients.
828 21419713 Glypican-3 is a promising target for immunotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma, but limited data exist regarding its immunogenicity in patients with diverse HLA types, immunogenicity for CD4(+) T-cells, and the impact of inhibitory co-stimulation on glypican-3-specific T-cells.
829 21419713 Using a 15mer overlapping peptide library for glypican-3, PBMC from patients with HCC were assessed ex vivo and after short-term in vitro expansion for tumor antigen-specific T-cell responses with and without blockade of PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 signaling.
830 21419713 Glypican-3-specific T-cells were undetectable ex vivo, but primarily IFNγ(+)TNFα(+) CD4(+) T-cells expanded with short-term in vitro stimulation in 10/19 (52%) patients.
831 21419713 Glypican-3-specific CD8(+) T-cells predominantly produced TNFα, but did not secrete IFNγ nor degranulate.
832 21419713 CTLA-4 and PD-1 blockade minimally impacted the cytokine secretion and proliferation of glypican-3-specific T-cells.
833 21419713 These data suggest that CD8(+) T-cell-directed tumor vaccines in HCC may have limited potential for efficacy unless optimal co-stimulation conditions can be identified but CD4(+)-directed vaccines merit consideration.

841 21465316 CTLA-4 blockade increases antigen-specific CD8(+) T cells in prevaccinated patients with melanoma: three cases.
842 21559358 Combination CTLA-4 blockade and 4-1BB activation enhances tumor rejection by increasing T-cell infiltration, proliferation, and cytokine production.
843 21700764 In the context of prostate cancer, the immunotherapy strategies that have garnered the most interest are the therapeutic vaccination strategies, exemplified by sipuleucel-T and PROSTVAC-VF, and immune checkpoint blockade of CTLA-4 and PD-1.
844 21821307 The development of the anti-CTLA-4 antibody (ipilimumab; marketed as Yervoy) immune regulatory therapy was based on the premise that "Abrogation of the function of CTLA-4 would permit CD28 to function unopposed and might swing the balance in favor of immune stimulation, tolerance breakdown and tumor eradication…" (Weber, 2009).
845 21933959 Integrated NY-ESO-1 antibody and CD8+ T-cell responses correlate with clinical benefit in advanced melanoma patients treated with ipilimumab.
846 21933959 Ipilimumab, a monoclonal antibody against cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4), has been shown to improve survival in patients with advanced metastatic melanoma.
847 21933959 To understand why some patients with NY-ESO-1 antibody failed to experience clinical benefit, we analyzed NY-ESO-1-specific CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cell responses by intracellular multicytokine staining in 20 NY-ESO-1-seropositive patients and found a surprising dissociation between NY-ESO-1 antibody and CD8 responses in some patients.
848 21933959 NY-ESO-1-seropositive patients with associated CD8(+) T cells experienced more frequent clinical benefit (10 of 13; 77%) than those with undetectable CD8(+) T-cell response (one of seven; 14%; P = 0.02; relative risk = 5.4, two-tailed Fisher test), as well as a significant survival advantage (P = 0.01; hazard ratio = 0.2, time-dependent Cox model).
849 21935390 Here, we evaluated the ability of intravenous administration of a blocking monoclonal antibody (mAb) directed against the negative costimulatory molecule CTLA-4, and an agonist mAb directed against the positive costimulatory molecule 4-1BB, either alone or in combination, to augment intramuscular SIV DNA immunizations.
850 21935390 Interestingly, although CTLA-4 blockade alone did not enhance IFN-γ responses it did increase the proliferative capacity of the CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells.
851 21935390 Furthermore, the use of the CTLA-4 blocking antibody resulted in significantly higher viral loads during chronic infection compared to animals that received the 4-1BB mAb, likely due to the higher CD4(+) T cell proliferative responses which were driven by this adjuvant following immunization.

880 22144893 CD25(hi) T cell depletion and utilisation of pneumococcal specific MHCII tetramers revealed the presence of antigen specific Tregs that utilised CTLA-4 and PDL-1 surface molecules to suppress these responses.
881 22220281 Recent trials in the metastatic setting using anticytoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (anti-CTLA-4) monoclonal antibody therapy and BRAF inhibitor therapy have demonstrated clear benefit with prolongation of survival.
882 22312406 Interruption of immune regulatory pathways via activation of 4-1BB or cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) blockade appears to be a promising strategy for cancer immunotherapy.

886 22351744 Novel therapies for metastatic renal cell carcinoma: efforts to expand beyond the VEGF/mTOR signaling paradigm.
887 22351744 However, the goal of cure remains elusive, and the agents nearest approval (i.e., axitinib and tivozanib) abide by the same paradigm as existing drugs (i.e., inhibition of VEGF or mTOR signaling).
888 22351744 Specifically, novel immunotherapeutic strategies will be discussed, including vaccine therapy, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4) blockade, and programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibition, as well as novel approaches to angiogenesis inhibition, such as abrogation of Ang/Tie-2 signaling.
889 22351744 Pharmacologic strategies to block other potentially relevant signaling pathways, such as fibroblast growth factor receptor or MET inhibition, are also in various stages of development.
890 22351744 Although VEGF and mTOR inhibition have dramatically improved outcomes for patients with mRCCs, a surge above the current plateau with these agents will likely require exploring new avenues.
891 22406592 First, in Abstract #198, toxicity and efficacy results from the phase I/II study of cixutumumab, an insulin growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) antibody combined with the standard gemcitabine and erlotinib treatment were presented, but the outcomes suggest no real clinical benefit.
892 22406592 Finally, interesting results which definitely deserve further exploration were presented in Abstract #211, which tested the combination of ipilimumab, an antibody against the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4), with a cell-based vaccine transfected with the granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) gene in advanced refractory pancreatic cancer.
893 22566975 New advances in the comprehension of the mechanisms of antigen presentation by dendritic cells, in the immune responses triggered by adjuvants, as well as the understanding of the role of immunosuppressor molecules such as cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4), which led to the recent approval of the anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody ipilimumab, have opened new hopes about the installment of immunotherapy as a new modality to treat cancer.

910 22778760 The past decade has witnessed the evolvement of cancer immunotherapy as an increasingly effective therapeutic modality, evidenced by the approval of two immune-based products by the FDA, that is, the cancer vaccine Provenge (sipuleucel-T) for prostate cancer and the antagonist antibody against cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) ipilimumab for advanced melanoma.
911 22844202 Encouragingly, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently approved two novel immunotherapy agents for patients with advanced cancer: the antigen presenting cell-based product sipuleucel-T and the anti-CTLA4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4) antibody ipilimumab, based on improvements in overall survival in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer and metastatic melanoma, respectively.
912 22878899 T cell profiling reveals high CD4+CTLA-4 + T cell frequency as dominant predictor for survival after prostate GVAX/ipilimumab treatment.
913 22878899 Treatment-induced rises in absolute lymphocyte counts, CD4(+) T cell differentiation, and CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell activation were all associated with clinical benefit.
914 22878899 Moreover, significantly prolonged overall survival (OS) was observed for patients with high pre-treatment frequencies of CD4(+)CTLA-4(+), CD4(+)PD-1(+), or differentiated (i.e., non-naive) CD8(+) T cells or low pre-treatment frequencies of differentiated CD4(+) or regulatory T cells.
915 22878899 Unsupervised clustering of these immune biomarkers revealed cancer-related expression of CTLA-4(+) in CD4(+) T cells to be a dominant predictor for survival after Prostate GVAX/ipilimumab therapy and to thus provide a putative and much-needed biomarker for patient selection prior to therapeutic CTLA4 blockade.

924 22903545 BTLA (B- and T-lymphocyte attenuator) is a prominent co-receptor that is structurally and functionally related to CTLA-4 and PD-1.
925 22903545 Upon ligation with HVEM, BTLA inhibited CpG-mediated B cell functions (proliferation, cytokine production, and upregulation of co-stimulatory molecules), which was reversed by blocking BTLA/HVEM interactions.
926 22903545 Interestingly, chemokine secretion (IL-8 and MIP1β) was not affected by BTLA/HVEM ligation, suggesting that BTLA-mediated inhibition is selective for some but not all B cell functions.
927 22918927 For example, in preclinical investigations, combined blockade of programmed death-1 (PD1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4), which have key roles in the negative regulation of T-cell activation, has been shown to enhance antitumour immune responses compared with either agent alone.
928 22918926 Phase I/II trials of vaccination with allogeneic dendritic cell/tumour fusions in patients with mRCC have demonstrated immunological and clinical responses in some patients, and T-cell modulating agents (e.g. antibodies against programmed death 1 and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4, or soluble lymphocyte activation gene-3) and dendritic cell-activating toll-like receptor agonists have also shown encouraging evidence of efficacy in early-phase clinical trials.
929 22918926 As such, a number of other strategies are currently under investigation, including adoptive cell transfer (ACT) with T cells modified to target proteins expressed by renal tumours such as MAGE-A3/12, DR4 and TRAIL, and ACT with autologous natural killer cells.
930 22939910 The hybrid cell lines expressed HLA class I and class II molecules, and the major T-cell costimulatory molecules, CD80 and CD86.
931 22939910 The enhanced T-cell stimulation was inhibited by CTLA4-Ig fusion protein, and by blocking antibodies to MHC class I and class II molecules.

935 23090079 T-reg findings suggest that IFN/treme induced clinically significant antitumor responses by inhibiting CTLA4 suppressive effects on T effectors, and less so by affecting T-reg.

940 23267892 [Prediction of WT1/MUC1 peptide dendritic cell therapy responders by quantification of ex vivo induced mRNA in whole blood].
941 23267892 To challenge this classic problem, we quantified 17 different leukocyte function-associated mRNAs( IFN-γ,TNFSF1, TNFSF2, TNFSF5, IL-10, TGF β,CTLA4, PD1, FOXP3, GMCSF, VEGF, IL-8, CCL8, CXCL3, and IL-2) in whole blood after ex vivo stimulation with 7 different agents(PHA, HAG, zymosan, IFN-γ,rIL-2, aTCR, and picibanil) to activate various subsets of leukocytes.
942 23267892 The clinical outcomes for WT1 peptide-and/or MUC1 peptide-pulsed dendritic cell therapy for advanced cancer (n=26) were CR+PR, 4 cases; SD, 9 cases; and PD, 13 cases.

947 23404195 Non-specific immunotherapy has been for a long time a standard treatment option for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma but was redeemed by specific targeted molecular therapies, namely the VEGF and mTOR inhibitors.
948 23404195 In addition, different combinatory strategies with immunomodulating agents like cyclophosphamide or sunitinib are outlined, and the effects of immune checkpoint modulators as anti-CTLA-4 or PD-1 antibodies are discussed.
949 23460531 The list of antagonist agents acting on repressors under development includes anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1 (B7-H1), anti-KIR, and anti-TGF-β.

953 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).
954 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.
955 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.
956 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.
957 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.
958 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.
959 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.

996 23748671 Flow-sorted CD3(+)CD4(+)CD25(+)CD127(low) Tregs were stimulated with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 coated beads and cultured in the presence of IL-2.
997 23748671 The expanded Tregs expressed high levels of FOXP3, CTLA4 and HELIOS compared to conventional T cells and were shown to be highly suppressive.
998 23799135 The E6-RHDV-VLP-PADRE was administered therapeutically for the treatment of a pre-existing TC-1 tumour and was delivered with antibodies either to deplete regulatory T cells (anti-CD25) or to block T cell suppression mediated through CTLA-4.
999 23812070 For example, blockade of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) significantly improved median overall survival of melanoma patients.
1000 23812070 Blockade of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) or programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) induced durable tumor regression and prolonged disease stabilization in patients with advanced cancers, including melanoma, non-small-cell lung cancer, and renal cell cancer.
1001 23844129 Separating volunteers into high and low responders on the basis of T cell responses to 85A peptides measured during the trial, an expansion of circulating CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ cells is seen in low but not high responders.
1002 23844129 In a classification model, combined expression levels of TLR1, TICAM2 and CD14 on day of vaccination and CTLA4 and IL2Rα two days post-vaccination can classify high and low responders with over 80% accuracy.
1003 23844129 Furthermore, administering MVA85A in mice with anti-TLR2 antibodies may abrogate high responses, and neutralising antibodies to TLRs 1, 2 or 6 or HMGB1 decrease CXCL2 production during in vitro stimulation with MVA85A.
1004 23871358 We envisage future treatment protocols, in which systemic immune activators, such as vaccines, dendritic cell-based therapies, engineered variants of IL-2, or IL-15, are combined with agents that counter immunosuppression mediated by, e.g., the PD/PDL interaction, CTLA-4, CD200, reactive oxygen species, IDO expression, CXCR4, or the KIR/class I interaction, based on characteristics of the prevailing malignant clone.
1005 23922369 Blockade of CTLA-4 or PD1 had no effect on IFNγ production or parasite survival in SA cultures.
1006 23924790 In particular, cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) antibodies have been successfully combined with GM-CSF cell-based vaccines (GVAX).
1007 24041689 Co-stimulatory signaling pathway triggered by the binding of B7.1/B7.2 (CD80/86) of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) to CD28 of T cells is required for optimal T-cell activation.
1008 24041689 Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is a negative regulator of T cell activation, which competes with CD28 for B7.1/B7.2 binding with a greater affinity.
1009 24041689 To develop a novel therapeutics specifically targeting CTLA-4, we constructed a DNA vaccine by cloning the sequence of CTLA-4 fused with a transmembrane domain sequence of placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) into a mammalian expression plasmid, pVAC-1.

1013 24143916 Second, non-antigen-specific immunotherapy or cancer immunomodulation is reviewed, including how monoclonal antibodies modulate the interaction between antigen-presenting cells, T-lymphocytes and tumor cells (e.g., antibodies against CTLA-4, or against PD-1 receptor or its ligands).
1014 24391639 Here we studied the expression of eight different iRs by CD8 T cells of healthy humans, including CTLA-4, PD1, TIM3, LAG3, 2B4, BTLA, CD160, and KLRG1.
1015 24404420 We have recently reported that the PD-1 and CTLA4 signaling pathways are active in both effector and regulatory T cells, causing profound immune dysfunctions in the tumor microenvironment.

1017 24408925 Dual blockade of PD-1 and CTLA-4 combined with tumor vaccine effectively restores T-cell rejection function in tumors--letter.
1018 24477411 Indeed, drugs blocking the inhibitory signal generated by the engagement of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) found on T-cells has emerged as potent means to combat the immunosuppressive milieu.
1019 24514956 There were trends toward associations for longer OS and certain immune cell subsets before immunotherapy: lower PD-1(+)Tim-3(NEG)CD4EM (P = 0.005, adjusted P = 0.010), higher PD-1(NEG)Tim-3(+)CD8 (P = 0.002, adjusted P = 0.004), and a higher number of CTLA-4(NEG) Tregs (P = 0.005, adjusted P = 0.010).
1020 24516200 Furthermore, GX15 increased the apoptosis of regulatory T cells (Tregs), profoundly downregulated FOXP3 and CTLA-4 in a dose-dependent manner, and decreased their suppressive function.
1021 24516200 Treating PBMCs obtained from ovarian cancer patients with GX15 also resulted in increased CD8(+):Treg and CD4(+):Treg ratios.
1022 24658451 Peak viral RNA load, serum enzymes, IL-6, and IL-10 were significantly higher in deceased patients compared to survivors.

1049 24732076 In mouse tumor models, engagement of activating Fcγ receptor (FcγR)-expressing immune cells was recently shown to be required for the tumoricidal activity of antibodies recognizing the tumor necrosis factor superfamily receptor (TNFR) GITR (CD357) and CTLA-4 (CD152).
1050 24732076 Here, we explored the mechanism of antitumor activity mediated by an agonistic antibody (clone OX86) to the co-stimulatory TNFR OX40 (CD134).
1051 24743648 In this study, we characterized the phenotypic and functional differences between dominant and subdominant simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) epitope-specific CD8+ T cells restricted by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I allele Mamu-A*01 during acute and chronic SIV infection.
1052 24743648 Expression analyses of exhaustion-associated genes indicated that LAG-3 and CTLA-4 were more highly expressed in the dominant epitope-specific cells during acute SIV infection.
1053 24743648 These studies demonstrate that significant functional differences exist between dominant and subdominant epitope-specific CD8+ T cells within MHC-restricted immunodominance hierarchies and suggest that TCR:pMHC affinity may play an important role in determining the frequency and functionality of these cell populations.

1079 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.
1080 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.
1081 24793154 The increased proportion of T regs and high expression of Foxp3 and CTLA-4 on lung cancer cells and tumour infiltrating lymphocytes were observed.
1082 24793154 Other components of immune response inhibition and tumour promotion are: Th17 cell population, M2 macrophage polarisation, the presence of myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and a significantly elevated concentration of cytokines: TGF-b and IL-10 in the tumour microenvironment.
1083 24793154 Lung cancer immunotherapy has two main directions: the first goal is to improve the cytotoxic effect (for example by inhibition of CTLA-4, stimulation of dendritic cell function, inhibition of lymphocyte apoptosis), and the second way is the production of anti-cancer vaccines using known cancer antigens: MAGE A3, MUC1, EGF and TGF-b.

1087 24795357 We have shown that a vaccine based on alphavirus replicon particles (VRP) activates strong cellular and humoral immunity to tyrosinase-related protein-2 (TRP2) melanoma antigen, providing prophylactic and therapeutic effects in stringent mouse models.
1088 24795357 Here, we report that the immunogenicity and efficacy of this vaccine is increased in combination with either antagonist anti-CTL antigen-4 (CTLA-4) or agonist anti-glucocorticoid-induced TNF family-related gene (GITR) immunomodulatory monoclonal antibodies (mAb).
1089 24795357 These mAbs had similar adjuvant effects in priming an adaptive immune response against the vaccine-encoded antigen, augmenting, respectively, approximately 4- and 2-fold the TRP2-specific CD8(+) T-cell response and circulating Abs, compared with the vaccine alone.
1090 24795357 Furthermore, while both mAbs increased the frequency of tumor-infiltrating CD8(+) T cells, anti-CTLA-4 mAb also increased the quantity of intratumor CD4(+)Foxp3(-) T cells expressing the negative costimulatory molecule programmed death-1 (PD-1).
1091 24795357 They also indicate that tumor-infiltrating CD4(+)Foxp3(-)PD-1(+) T cells may affect the outcome of immunomodulatory treatments.

1098 24845157 CD86 and CD80, the ligands for the co-stimulatory molecules CD28 and CTLA-4, are members of the Ig superfamily.
1099 24845157 Herein, we have used deletion and chimeric human CD80 and CD86 molecules in co-stimulation assays to study the impact of the multimeric state of IgV and IgC domains on receptor binding properties and on co-stimulatory function in a peptide-specific T cell activation model.
1100 24845157 We report for the first time the presence of CD80 dimers and CD86 monomers in living cells.
1101 24845157 Moreover, we show that the IgC domain of both molecules inhibits multimer formation and greatly affects binding to the co-receptors CD28 and CTLA-4.

1109 24857059 Recent introduction of immune modulators of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen (CTLA)-4 and programmed cell death 1/programmed cell death 1 ligand (PD-1/PDL1) add much excitement to this field.
1110 24916470 We observed substantial therapeutic synergies when combining dolastatins with tumor antigen-specific vaccination or blockade of the PD-1-PD-L1 and CTLA-4 coinhibitory pathways.
1111 24926293 In probing the possible mechanism, we observe that SLA-CpG-DCs vaccination results in the significant decrease in Foxp3(+)GITR(+)CTLA4(+)CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells (Treg) cell population in Leishmania-infected mice.
1112 24926293 Moreover, we demonstrate that a CXC chemokine, IFN-γ-inducible protein 10 (IP-10; CXCL10), has a direct role in the regulation of CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg cells in SLA-CpG-DC-vaccinated parasitized mice as Treg cells isolated from IP-10-depleted vaccinated mice showed significantly increased TGF-β production and suppressive activity.
1113 24941977 Blocking immune checkpoints PDL-01, CTLA-4 and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase through monoclonal antibodies appears promising.
1114 24969320 Monoclonal antibodies recognising melanoma-associated antigens such as CSPG4/MCSP and targeting elements of tumour-associated vasculature (VEGF) have constituted long-standing translational approaches aimed at reducing melanoma growth and metastasis.
1115 24969320 Recent insights into mechanisms of immune regulation and tumour-immune cell interactions have helped to identify checkpoint molecules on immune (CTLA4, PD-1) and tumour (PD-L1) cells as promising therapeutic targets.
1116 24970795 New immunotherapy drugs based on the release of the co-inhibitory receptors, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed-death 1 (PD-1) have currently emerged.
1117 24990240 Among the coadjuvants are (i) antagonists of A2AR, (ii) extracellular adenosine-degrading drugs, (iii) inhibitors of adenosine generation by CD39/CD73 ectoenzymes, and (iv) inhibitors of hypoxia-HIF-1α signaling.
1118 24990240 Combining these coadjuvants with CTLA-4 and/or PD-1 blockade is expected to have additive or even synergistic effects of targeting two different antitumor protective mechanisms.
1119 24990240 Yet to be tested is the potential capacity of coadjuvants to minimize the side effects of CTLA-4 and/or PD-1 blockade by decreasing the dose of blocking antibodies or by eliminating the need for dual blockade.

1123 25207460 Next, the first immune-activating anticytotoxic lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) antibody ipilimumab exhibiting 'immune checkpoint blockade' was approved by FDA and European Medical Agency (EMA) for the treatment of patients with metastatic melanoma.
1124 25207460 New generations of immune checkpoint blockading antibodies targeting programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1) are now under intense investigation in metastatic melanoma (MM) and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and impressive clinical results are anticipated.
1125 25265018 To improve anti-tumor effects of therapeutic vaccine, we fused cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) with HPV16 E7 and E6 as a fusion therapeutic DNA vaccine (pCTLA4-E7E6). pCTLA4-E7E6 induced significantly higher anti-E7E6 specific antibodies and relatively stronger specific CTL responses than the nonfusion DNA vaccine pE7E6 in C57BL/6 mice bearing with TC-1 tumors. pCTLA4-E7E6 showed relatively stronger anti-tumor effects than pE7E6 in therapeutic immunization.
1126 25323844 Efforts to restore latent anti-tumor immunity have focused on antibody-based interventions targeting CTL antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) on T lymphocytes and its principal ligand (PD-L1) on tumor cells.
1127 25323844 Ipilimumab, an antibody targeting CTLA-4, appears to restore tumor immunity at the priming phase, whereas anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies restore immune function in the tumor microenvironment.
1128 25323844 By contrast, antibodies targeting either PD-1 or PD-L1 have produced significant anti-tumor activity with considerably less toxicity.

1131 25323844 By contrast, antibodies targeting either PD-1 or PD-L1 have produced significant anti-tumor activity with considerably less toxicity.
1132 25382117 Although the disappointing data deriving from the employment of vaccines in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), more promising results have been obtained in the early phase trials with immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4), programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors.
1133 25386340 The combination of vaccines with new immuno-stimulating agents which target "immunosuppressive checkpoints" (anti-CTLA-4, PD-1, etc.) is likely to improve and maintain immune response induced by vaccination.
1134 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.
1135 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.
1136 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.
1137 25403749 Blockade of CTLA-4 promotes the development of effector CD8+ T lymphocytes and the therapeutic effect of vaccination with an attenuated protozoan expressing NY-ESO-1.
1138 25403749 Here, we report that prophylactic vaccination with a highly attenuated Trypanosoma cruzi strain expressing NY-ESO-1 (CL-14-NY-ESO-1) induces both effector memory and effector CD8(+) T lymphocytes that efficiently prevent tumor development.
1139 25403749 We also demonstrate that blockade of Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Antigen 4 (CTLA-4) during vaccination enhances the frequency of NY-ESO-1-specific effector CD8(+) T cells producing IFN-γ and promotes lymphocyte migration to the tumor infiltrate.
1140 25403749 As a result, therapy with CL-14-NY-ESO-1 together with anti-CTLA-4 is highly effective in controlling the development of an established melanoma.
1141 25403749 Blockade of CTLA-4 promotes the development of effector CD8+ T lymphocytes and the therapeutic effect of vaccination with an attenuated protozoan expressing NY-ESO-1.

1149 25415283 PD-1/PD-L1 blockade together with vaccine therapy facilitates effector T-cell infiltration into pancreatic tumors.
1150 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.
1151 25415283 In this study, we evaluated blockade of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway.
1152 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.
1153 25415283 Furthermore, PD-1 blockade increased effector CD8 T lymphocytes and tumor-specific interferon-γ production of CD8 T cells in the tumor microenvironment.
1154 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.
1155 25415283 Collectively, our study supports combining PD-1 or PD-L1 antibody therapy with a T cell inducing agent for PDA treatment.
1156 25415283 PD-1/PD-L1 blockade together with vaccine therapy facilitates effector T-cell infiltration into pancreatic tumors.
1157 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.
1158 25415283 In this study, we evaluated blockade of the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway.
1159 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.
1160 25415283 Furthermore, PD-1 blockade increased effector CD8 T lymphocytes and tumor-specific interferon-γ production of CD8 T cells in the tumor microenvironment.

1163 25419982 In this study, we correlated the longitudinal changes in the magnitude and functional quality of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cell response over a period of two years after mucosal or parenteral BCG vaccination with the strength of protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in mice.
1164 25419982 The BCG vaccination-induced CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells exhibited comparable response kinetics but distinct functional attributes in-terms of IFN-γ, IL-2 and TNF-α co-production and CD62L memory marker expression.
1165 25419982 The progressive decline in the multifactorial functional abilities of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in-terms of type-1 cytokine production, proliferation and cytolytic potential corresponded with the waning of protection against M. tuberculosis infection.
1166 25419982 In addition, simultaneous increase in the dysfunctional and terminally-differentiated T cells expressing CTLA-4, KLRG-1 and IL-10 during the contraction phase of BCG-induced response coincided with the loss of protection.

1172 25583297 Several of these agents, such as antibodies targeting cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) have already demonstrated significant promise in clinical trials.
1173 25625932 This review compares the optimal use of vaccines vs. other forms of immunotherapy, which includes cytokines, such as IL-2, monoclonal antibodies, such as the 'checkpoint inhibitors', against CTLA-4 and PD-1.

1224 25733707 PD-1 and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibodies have shown durable responses in NSCLC, with a favorable safety profile and manageable side effects.
1225 25806276 Immune checkpoint therapies include the monoclonal antibody blockade of the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) with ipilimumab, as well as antibody blockade of the programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) receptor and the PD-1 ligand.
1226 25806276 In lung cancer, these include the melanoma-associated antigen-A3 (MAGE-A3), membrane-associated glycoprotein (MUC-1), and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).
1227 25806281 In particular, the checkpoint inhibitors targeting cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and the programmed death-1 (PD-1) pathway have shown durable clinical responses with manageable toxicity.
1228 25824455 Enhanced signalling of the Programmed cell death-1 (PDCD1, PD-1)/cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA4) 'immune checkpoint' pathway has emerged recently as a critical mechanism by which tumours can escape the natural anti-tumour immune response.

1232 25851535 ADAP and SKAP55 deficiency suppresses PD-1 expression in CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes for enhanced anti-tumor immunotherapy.
1233 25851535 In this study, we have identified that the ADAP-SKAP55 signaling module reduced CD8(+) CTL cytotoxicity and enhanced PD-1 expression in a Fyn-, Ca(2+)-, and NFATc1-dependent manner.
1234 25851535 In DC vaccine-based tumor prevention and therapeutic models, knockout of SKAP55 or ADAP showed a heightened protection from tumor formation or metastases in mice and reduced PD-1 expression in CD8(+) effector cells.
1235 25851535 Interestingly, CTLA-4 levels and the percentages of tumor infiltrating CD4(+)Foxp3(+) Tregs remained unchanged.
1236 25851535 Furthermore, adoptive transfer of SKAP55-deficient or ADAP-deficient CD8(+) CTLs significantly blocked tumor growth and increased anti-tumor immunity.
1237 25851535 Pretreatment of wild-type CD8(+) CTLs with the NFATc1 inhibitor CsA could also downregulate PD-1 expression and enhance anti-tumor therapeutic efficacy.
1238 25870800 It is accomplished by M2 macrophage polarization, the activity of myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and a significantly elevated concentration of cytokines: transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) and IL-10 in the tumor microenvironment.
1239 25870800 Very active suppression of immune protection is the predominant role of the programmed death 1 (PD-1)-PD-L1 pathway.
1240 25870800 Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is the molecule capable of inhibiting the activation signal.
1241 25870800 The second way in lung cancer immunotherapy is production of anti-cancer vaccines using recognized cancer antigens: MAGE-A3, membrane associated glycoprotein (MUC-1), and EGF.
1242 25904740 Used alone or in combination with tumor vaccines or antibodies targeting the CTLA4 or PD1/PD-L1 pathways, blocking anti-GARP antibodies may improve the efficiency of cancer immunotherapy.

1244 25956014 New genes defects causing immunodeficiency include phophoglucomutase 3 (PGM3), cytidine 5' triphosphate synthase 1 (CTPS1), nuclear factor κB-inducing kinase (NIK), cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA4), B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia/lymphoma 10 (BCL10), phosphoinositide-3 kinase regulatory subunit 1 (PIK3R1), IL21, and Jagunal homolog 1 (JAGN1).
1245 25956014 The role of IL-12 and IL-15 in the enhancement of natural killer cell activity was reported.
1246 25965361 The impact of the first checkpoint inhibitors, ie, anti-CTLA-4 (cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4) and anti-PD-1/ anti-PD-L1 (programmed death-1 receptor and its ligand, PD-L1) is unprecedented.
1247 25989700 Rapamycin ameliorates the CTLA4-Ig-mediated defect in CD8(+) T cell immunity during gammaherpesvirus infection.
1248 25989700 During clinical trials with belatacept, a CTLA4-Ig fusion protein, patients showed an increased risk of Epstein-Barr virus-associated posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder, thought to be due to a deficient primary CD8(+) T cell response to the virus.
1249 25989700 Using a murine model of latent viral infection, we observed that rapamycin treatment alone led to a significant increase in virus-specific CD8(+) T cells, as well as increased functionality of these cells, including the ability to make multiple cytokines, while CTLA4-Ig treatment alone significantly dampened the response and inhibited the generation of polyfunctional antigen-specific CD8(+) T cells.
1250 25989700 However, the addition of rapamycin to the CTLA4-Ig regimen was able to quantitatively and qualitatively restore the antigen-specific CD8(+) T cell response to the virus.

1265 26084026 Quiescence of Memory CD8(+) T Cells Is Mediated by Regulatory T Cells through Inhibitory Receptor CTLA-4.
1266 26084026 Loss of Treg cells resulted in activation of genome-wide transcriptional programs characteristic of effector T cells and drove transitioning as well as established memory CD8(+) T cells toward terminally differentiated KLRG-1(hi)IL-7Rα(lo)GzmB(hi) phenotype, with compromised metabolic fitness, longevity, polyfunctionality, and protective efficacy.

1271 26116499 CD4 T Cell Depletion Substantially Augments the Rescue Potential of PD-L1 Blockade for Deeply Exhausted CD8 T Cells.
1272 26116499 In a model of chronic lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection in mice, we show that exhausted CD8 T cells during the late stage of infection are refractory to rescue by PD-L1 blockade.
1273 26116499 Interestingly, PD-L1 blockade during the late stage of infection resulted in a biased expansion of PD-1(+) CTLA-4(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) over antiviral CD8 T cells.
1274 26116499 In this report, we show that PD-L1 blockade together with CD4 T cell depletion effectively rescued deeply exhausted CD8 T cells and enhanced antiviral control during the late stage of chronic infection without any associated mortality.
1275 26116499 These data demonstrate the pleiotropic effects of anti-PD-L1 therapy on both virus-specific CD8 T cells and Tregs, and suggest a novel strategy for effectively rescuing deeply exhausted CD8 T cells.
1276 26148880 This review summarizes preclinical and clinical data demonstrating that radiation acts in concert with antibodies targeting the immune checkpoint cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4), to induce therapeutically effective anti-tumor T cell responses in tumors otherwise non responsive to anti-CTLA-4 therapy.
1277 26155388 Approaches under investigation are use of inhibitors to curb the overexpression of immune checkpoint ligands by tumor cells (e.g., anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-1/PD-L1) and exploiting the immunomodulatory effects of anti-angiogenic agents that are the current standard of metastatic RCC care.
1278 26216629 Most of the current immunotherapeutic success in cancer treatment is based on the use of immune-modulating antibodies targeting critical checkpoints (CTLA-4 and PD-1/PD-L1).
1279 26301204 Monoclonal antibody therapies against tumor antigens such as disialoganglioside GD2 or immune checkpoint targets such as CTLA-4 and PD-1 are being actively explored in pediatric sarcomas.
1280 26324768 FOXP3/NFAT interaction is required to repress expression of IL-2, upregulate expression of the Treg markers CTLA4 and CD25, and confer suppressor function to Tregs.
1281 26324768 Specific inhibition of FOXP3/NFAT interaction with this inhibitory peptide revealed that FOXP3 downregulates NFAT-driven promoter activity of CD40L and IL-17.
1282 26324768 Inhibition of FOXP3/NFAT interaction upregulated CD40L expression on effector T cells and enhanced T cell proliferation and IL-2, IFN-γ, IL-6, or IL-17 production in response to TCR stimulation.
1283 26351680 Antibody modulation of T-cell coinhibitory (e.g., CTLA-4) or costimulatory (e.g., 4-1BB) receptors promotes clinical responses to a variety of cancers.
1284 26351680 Combining this E6/E7 peptide vaccine with checkpoint blockade produced only modest benefit; however, coadministration with a 4-1BB agonist antibody promoted durable regression of established genital TC-1 tumors.
1285 26351680 Relative to other therapies tested, this combination of vaccine and α4-1BB promoted the highest CD8(+) versus regulatory FoxP3(+) T-cell ratios, elicited 2- to 5-fold higher infiltration by E7-specific CTL, and evoked higher densities of highly cytotoxic TcEO (T cytotoxic Eomesodermin) CD8 (>70-fold) and ThEO (T helper Eomesodermin) CD4 (>17-fold) T cells.
1286 26366739 Absence of protective immunity during acute malaria correlated with maintenance of antibodies to NTS, but a marked reduction in effector capability of Salmonella-specific CD4 and CD8 T cells.
1287 26366739 Further, increased expression of the inhibitory molecule PD1 was identified on memory CD4 T cells induced by vaccination.
1288 26366739 Simultaneous blockade of CTLA-4, LAG3, and PDL1 restored IFN-γ production by vaccine-induced memory CD4 T cells but was not sufficient to restore protection.
1289 26376844 The development of new immunomodulatory monoclonal antibodies targeting the CTLA-4 or PD-1 axis has led to a revival of research on immunotherapies in solid tumours including renal cell cancer (RCC).
1290 26376844 However, at the moment there is no evidence that targeting the CTLA-4 or PD-1 axis provides a substantial clinical benefit compared to established treatment with tyrosine kinase or mTOR inhibitors.
1291 26376844 In this chapter we will summarise selected studies on immunotherapy in advanced RCC with a focus on anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies.

1296 26376844 However, at the moment there is no evidence that targeting the CTLA-4 or PD-1 axis provides a substantial clinical benefit compared to established treatment with tyrosine kinase or mTOR inhibitors.
1297 26376844 In this chapter we will summarise selected studies on immunotherapy in advanced RCC with a focus on anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies.
1298 26377084 These include vaccine approaches to elicit strong specific immune responses to tumor antigens such as WT-1, HER2 and NY-ESO-1, approaches involving adoptive transfer of in vitro-expanded, naturally arising or genetically engineered tumor-specific lymphocytes, therapeutic administration of monoclonal antibodies to target and eliminate tumor cells, and approaches that inhibit or destroy the molecular or cellular mediators of cancer-induced immunosuppression, such as CTLA-4, PD-1 or Treg cells.
