117 7881637 It was found that the survival rate was affected in mice depleted with CD8-positive T cells and treated with IL-2VCO+IFN-alpha when compared to control mice which had no T-cell depletion and were treated with IL-2VCO+IFN-alpha.
118 7881637 This study suggests that the addition of IFN-alpha along with IL-2VCO increased the survival rate of mice having CC-36 hepatic metastases through the induction of CD8-positive T cells.
119 7914235 This second period of the trial, now open and ongoing, should allow us to evaluate further the innocuity of the i-IFN alpha preparation and whether anti-IFN alpha vaccine could provide a long-lasting CD4 cell count as well as CMI stabilization.

124 8027551 IL-10, TGF-beta 1, and IFN-alpha (cytokines known to regulate effector functions of activated macrophages) also did not block anti-F. tularensis activity of IFN-gamma-stimulated AM.
125 8027551 Reactive oxygen metabolites, depletion of tryptophan, and sequestration of iron did not contribute to anti-F. tularensis activity because addition of superoxide dismutase or catalase, excess iron, or tryptophan to IFN-gamma-treated AM did not reverse the anti-F. tularensis activity observed in these cells.
126 8368734 In addition to "classical" CD8+ Tc, CD4+ Tc were cloned from the blood of immunized patients.
127 8368734 CD4+ Tc were restricted by HLA Class I antigens, as judged by their killing of HLA Class II-negative melanomas and blocking by anti-class I antibodies.
128 8368734 Other CD4+ clones were blocked by both anti-HLA Class I or anti-Class II MHC monoclonal antibodies, and only two were blocked only by anti-HLA Class II.
129 8368734 Immunohistory revealed CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in lesions under rejection, but the predominant cells were macrophages, suggesting delayed-type hypersensitivity as a possible mechanism.
130 8368734 IFN-alpha 2 b salvaged 8 of 18 patients who failed with the theraccine, regardless of MHC phenotype, perhaps through upregulation of MHC and tumor epitopes on the autochthonous tumor.
131 8536277 Direct inhibitory effects of bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and interferon alpha 2b (IFN alpha 2b) on six human bladder carcinoma cell lines, UCRU-BL-13, UCRU-BL-17, UCRU-BL-28, 5637, T24 and J82, were studied using an in vitro proliferation assay.
132 8797687 Neither clinical deterioration nor a CD4+ cell count decrease from pretreatment values was observed in IFN-alpha-immunized patients in the follow-up period, whereas clinical and immunological disease progressions were observed among open-comparison patients.
133 8845573 Options currently under investigation include the development of more effective conditioning regimens, as applied in double auto-transplant or with targeted therapy using antibody-radionuclide conjugates, as well as post-transplant immunomodulation with either IFN-alpha, interleukin-2 or idiotype vaccines.
134 8914208 A number of regimens combining IL-2, IFN-alpha, and chemotherapeutic agents have yielded striking response rates in small trials and await confirmation in larger studies.

166 9603331 Here we present a further characterization of MVA and demonstrate that: (i) MVA can replicate, albeit poorly, in transformed human cell lines, but not in primary human fibroblasts although there is limited cell-to-cell spread; (ii) MVA is a potent inducer of type I interferon (IFN) from primary human cells, which may restrict virus spread in vivo; and (iii) unlike other VV strains, MVA does not express soluble receptors for IFN-gamma, IFN-alpha/beta, tumour necrosis factor and CC chemokines, but does express a soluble interleukin-1beta receptor.
167 9617594 Immunotherapy involving IFNs and interleukin-2 (IL-2) alone or in combination has yielded similar results to those achieved with chemotherapy alone.
168 9699714 The nature of the immune response depends on the route, method, and timing of DNA delivery and can also be influenced by co-delivery of plasmids encoding immunomodulating cytokines like IFN-alpha, IL-2, or IL-12 and costimulatory molecules like B7-1.
169 9759581 After decades of research, the adjuvant therapy of patients with melanoma has recently shown significant survival and relapse-free interval benefit for the intravenous and subcutaneous administration of maximally tolerable dosages of recombinant IFN alpha 2b in a trial conducted by the ECOG (E1684).

173 9811777 Infection of mice lacking a functional IFN system with the IFN-sensitive TC-83 virus resulted in disease equivalent to that produced by the virulent, IFN-resistant TRD virus, further demonstrating that IFN resistance contributes to VEE virus virulence and is a biological marker of epizootic potential.
174 9858908 Using immunohistochemical analysis we demonstrated that after treating with lethally irradiated MBT-2 tumor cells (IRMBT-2) + IL-2 cells of CD4+, CD8+, CD44+ and CD11b+ phenotypes prominently infiltrate the subcutaneous local injection sites.
175 9858908 In contrast, only scanty immune responding cells could be seen locally if treated with IRMBT-2 + IFN-alpha 2b, albeit in the presence of interleukin-2 (IL-2).
176 9858908 However, the spleens of D17TBM treated with IRMBT-2 + IFN-alpha 2b contained the highest percentage of CD44+ memory T cells and cells of the CD11b+ phenotype; moreover, their natural killer (NK), lymphokine activated killer (LAK) and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) activities were significantly augmented.

180 9862872 After in vitro stimulation with HBsAg, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of only 1 of 5 acute and 1 of 6 chronic HBV patients, but of all 6 vaccine recipients, secreted varying amounts of interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), but no interleukin-4 (IL-4) or IL-5.
181 9862872 Furthermore, the addition of IFN-gamma, but not of IL-2, -4, -12, or IFN-alpha, resulted in strong increases of anti-HBs-secreting B cells in vaccine recipients and chronic carriers.
182 9865682 Most important for its use as an adjuvant in human cancer vaccine are its ability to introduce T-cell costimulatory activity, to prevent anergy induction, and to induce locally chemokines (eg, RANTES, IP-10) and cytokines (eg, interferon alpha, beta [IFN-alpha, beta] and tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNFalpha]) that affect T-cell recruitment and activation.

229 10427987 In this study, we demonstrate that porcine relaxin, at concentrations ranging from 10(-10) to 10(-6) M, favors the in vitro development of human antigen-specific T cells into Th1-like effectors and enhances both IFN-gamma mRNA expression and IFN-gamma production by established human T cell clones.
230 10427987 The promoting effect of relaxin on the development of IFN-gamma-producing cells was not due to a relaxin-induced release of IL-12 and/or IFN-alpha by antigen-presenting cells.
231 10476222 Using the well characterized beta-galactosidase (beta gal) model Ag system we find that both in vivo gene transfer systems elicit potent and long-lasting anti-beta gal-specific CD8+ and CD4+ T cell responses.
232 10476222 Since viral infections are generally associated with the production of large amounts of IFN-alpha and IL-12, we investigated whether administration of expression plasmids encoding these Th1-associated cytokines along with antigen-encoding cDNA can influence the nature of the immune response resulting from gene gun immunization.

246 10533458 This study investigated whether the antitumour response elicited by BCG could be improved by the addition of recombinant interferon alpha (IFN alpha) in the subcutaneous murine MB49 bladder tumour model.
247 10533458 The combination of BCG and IFN alpha had superior and earlier antitumour activity than BCG alone for MB49 cells in culture.
248 10533458 Whilst BCG therapy alone increased CD4+ and CD8+ populations in spleens, the combination of BCG and IFN alpha also increased alpha beta+ T cells significantly.

262 10551332 Pretreatment of PBMCs as a source of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) with interferon (IFN)-gamma, or to some extent with IFN-alpha, but not with any of the other cytokines tested, augmented the peptide-induced CTL activity in HLA-A24 heterozygotes, but not in HLA-A24 homozygotes.
263 10551332 This IFN-gamma-mediated augmentation was inhibited by either interleukin (IL)-4 or IL-10.
264 10551332 This IL-2-mediated activation of CTLs was inhibited by the addition of IFN-gamma, IL-4, or IL-10 to the IL-2 culture.
265 10551332 For further expansion of the CTLs, dendritic cells (DCs) induced from PBMCs with IL-4 and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) were required as APCs.
266 10551332 These results indicate that IFN-gamma and IL-2 are important in the activation of APCs and CTLs, respectively, while GM-CSF and IL-4 are needed for the induction of DCs, which in turn are required for further expansion of mature CTLs.

273 10614729 Beta-gal in alum induced IgG1 and IgE antibodies and the CD4+ T cells from these mice secreted interleukin 4 (IL-4) and IL-5 but no interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) after in vitro antigen stimulation.
274 10614729 In contrast, mice immunized with pCMV-LacZ formed predominantly IgG2a antibodies and their CD4+ T cells secreted IFN-gamma but no IL-4 and IL-5.
275 10614729 Boosting of mice primed with beta-gal in alum with pCMV-LacZ resulted in a 75% decrease in the IgE antibody titer within 6 weeks and IgG2a antibody formation and CD4+ T cells that secreted IFN-gamma in amounts similar to T cells from pDNA primed mice.
276 10614729 As shown by adoptive cell transfer, both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from pDNA immunized mice inhibited an IgE response to beta-gal in alum in the recipient mice. pDNA immunization also inhibited the eosinophilic infiltration of the lung of ovalbumin (OVA) immunized mice after OVA inhalation challenge in an animal model of the late phase reaction.

341 10775586 This study demonstrates that (i) supernatants from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) stimulated with influenza A virus inhibit replication of CCR5- and CXCR4-tropic HIV-1 isolates prior to reverse transcription; (ii) the HIV-suppressive supernatants can be generated by CD4- or CD8-depleted PBMC; (iii) this anti-HIV activity is partially due to alpha interferon (IFN-alpha), but not to IFN-gamma, IFN-beta, the beta-chemokines MIP-1alpha, MIP-1beta, and RANTES, or interleukin-16; (iv) the anti-HIV activity is generated equally well by PBMC cultured with either infectious or UV-inactivated influenza A virus; and (v) the antiviral activity can be generated by influenza A-stimulated PBMC from HIV-infected individuals.
342 10775586 These findings represent a novel mechanism for inhibition of HIV-1 replication that differs from the previously described CD8 anti-HIV factors (MIP-1alpha, MIP-1beta, RANTES, and CD8 antiviral factor).

394 10866836 It has been proposed that the more aggressive liver disease observed in individuals infected with HAV in addition to chronic HBV/HCV is a result of the induction of interferon (IFN)-alpha during acute HAV infection.
395 10866836 Alternatively, HAV may indirectly stimulate the T helper 1 (Th1)-type cytokine responses, such as interleukin (IL)-2, IFN-gamma and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, which directly promote the antiviral CTL response.
396 10868900 Interferon (IFN)-alpha has proven benefit in a well-defined group of those with hepatitis B but has made little impact on the global burden of chronic liver disease.
397 10906201 MV is thus able to suppress the synthesis of the earliest mediator of antiviral immunity, IFN-alpha/beta.

526 11642602 In contrast, exposure to serum-free medium and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) rapidly influences CD83+ DCs to secrete high levels of IL-12, IL-6, and MIP-1beta, and promotes Dcl differentiation.
527 11642602 In contrast, CD83+ DCs matured in serum-free medium in the absence of IFN-gamma, or in the presence of calcium signaling agents, prostaglandin-E2, or IFN-alpha, produce no IL-12, scant IL-6, and prodigious IL-8, MDC, and TARC, and promote Dc2 differentiation.

531 11726219 We compared the capacity of DC to generate CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell responses after exposure to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) alone, PSA targeted to the mannose receptor (mannosylated PSA (PSA-m)), or PSA targeted to Fc receptors by combining PSA with an anti-PSA antibody (AR47.47).
532 11726219 Autologous CD3(+) T cells were added to monocyte-derived immature DC that had been cultured with GM-CSF/IL-4 for 4 days, exposed to antigen, and matured with CD40L or TNFalpha/IFN-alpha.
533 11726219 Both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell responses were observed after stimulation with DC exposed to the PSA/anti-PSA complexes, whereas CD4(+) predominated over CD8(+) T cell responses after stimulation with PSA-armed DC or PSA-m.

538 11772233 Most basic are cytokine therapies incorporating new IL-2 and IFN-alpha schedules.
539 11798457 We review here recent work that led to the identification of genes for the avian homologs of interferon-alpha/beta (IFN-alpha/beta) and IFN-gamma, various interleukins (IL), and several chemokines.
540 11836673 Systems studied have included lysis by interleukin-2 (IL-2)-activated lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), a p16-expressing adenovirus vector, suicide gene therapy using the herpes simplex virus-tyrosine kinase (HSV-tk) followed by ganciclovir, and immunomodulatory gene therapy with IL-2, IL-4, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), IFN-alpha, TNF-alpha, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), IL-6, and IL-1beta transfected into tumors.
541 11836673 Since platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is thought to be an autocrine growth factor for mesothelioma STI-571 (Gleevec; Novartis, Basel, Switzerland), a highly selective inhibitor of the PDGF receptor tyrosine kinase, is being tested in a phase II trial.
542 11867164 We have examined T cell responses against recombinant analogues of the surface-exposed C. ruminantium major antigen 1 (MAP1) a 28.8 kDa protein and MAP2 (21 kDa) antigen in cattle immunised by infection and treatment.
543 11867164 MAP1-specific responses were predominantly restricted to cluster of differentiation four antigen positive T cells (CD4+ T cells).
544 11867164 Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis of cytokine expression by T cell lines derived from this population revealed strong expression of interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), interferon alpha (IFN-alpha), tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), tumour necrosis factor beta (TNF-beta), interleukin-2 receptor alpha (IL-2Ralpha) transcripts, and weak expression of IL-2 and IL-4.
545 11867164 CD4+ T cell clones specific for MAP1 were generated.
546 11867164 RT-PCR analysis of cytokine expression by T cell lines which were dominated by gammadelta T cells revealed expression of IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, TNF-beta, IL-2Ralpha transcripts.
547 11867164 Our findings indicate that immunisation of cattle by infection with C. ruminantium results in generation of MAP1- and MAP2-specific T cell responses that may play a role in protection against the pathogen.

549 11945142 In order to further improve the efficacy of treatment in chronic hepatitis C (HCV) many controlled clinical trials evaluating Amantadine, Micophenolate, alpha1 Thymosin, Maxamine (in combination with IFN or pegylated IFN), Protease, Helicase, Polymerase inhibitors, Ribozymes and anti-sense olygonucleotides, and Interleukin 10 are in progress.
550 11964292 Moreover, DCs either derived from bone marrow cells in vitro or isolated from the spleens of normal animals express IFN-alpha and IFN-beta, suggesting that type I IFNs can act in an autocrine manner to activate DCs.
551 11964292 Furthermore, the addition of neutralizing anti-IFN-alpha/beta antibody to purified splenic DCs in vitro partially blocked the "spontaneous" activation of these cells, inhibiting the up-regulation of costimulatory molecules, secretion of IFN-gamma, and T-cell stimulatory activity.

555 11994440 Immunostimulatory sequence (ISS) DNA containing unmethylated CpG dinucleotides stimulate NK and APC to secrete proinflammatory cytokines, including IFN-alphabeta and -gamma, TNF-alpha, and IL-6 and -12, and to express costimulatory surface molecules such as CD40, B7-1, and B7-2.
556 11994440 This investigation examines the mechanisms by which ISS DNA primes CD8(+) and CD4(+) lymphocyte activities.
557 11994440 Coordinated regulation of B7 costimulation and TAP-dependent cross-presentation results in priming of Ag-specific CD8(+) CTL, whereas CD40, B7, and IL-12 costimulation is required for priming of CD4(+) Th cells by ISS-based vaccines.

564 12079487 IL-12/IL-2 combination cytokine therapy for solid tumours: translation from bench to bedside.
565 12079487 Several cytokines have demonstrated unique activity in the preclinical setting, including IL-2 and IFN-alpha -inducing cytokines such as IL12 and IL18.
566 12079487 Several lines of evidence suggest that IL-12 and IL-2 provide complementary immunoregulatory signals and have now shown that in combination, these two cytokines mediate synergistic antitumour activity in preclinical tumour models.
567 12079487 This paper will review existing data regarding mechanisms of interaction between IL-2 and IL-12 in vitro and in preclinial models and describe future opportunities for the investigation of these potentially promising cytokines in the treatment of cancer.

569 12228285 Infection of mice with Dam(+) Salmonella resulted in the induction of host genes known to be indicators of IFN bioactivity and regulated by either IFN-alpha/beta (Mx1) or IFN-gamma (class II transactivator protein [CIITA] and inducible nitric oxide synthase [iNOS]) or by both IFN-alpha/beta and IFN-gamma (RNA-specific adenosine deaminase [ADAR1] and RNA-dependent protein kinase [PKR]) in a tissue-specific manner compared to uninfected animals.
570 12228285 Since the Mx1 promoter is IFN-alpha/beta specific and the Mx1 gene is not inducible directly by IFN-gamma, these data suggest a role of IFN-alpha/beta in the host response to Salmonella infection.
571 12228285 Finally, although no Dam(-) organisms were recovered from the liver or spleen after oral infection of mice, ADAR, PKR, Mx, and CIITA expression levels were elevated in these tissues relative to those in uninfected mice, suggestive of the distant action of a signaling molecule(s) in the activation of ISG expression.

625 12594246 In this study, we show that human plasmacytoid DC, activated by either CpG oligodeoxynucleotides or viral infection, also respond to histamine through H2 receptors, leading to a marked down-regulation of IFN-alpha and TNF-alpha and a moderate switch in their capacity to polarize naive T cells.
626 12665415 Within the immune model of therapy, progress in the application of immune-related drugs including older cytokines (IL-2, IFN-alpha) and of newer cytokine-variant and other cytokines are discussed.
627 12668155 Functional abolishment of any one of these cytokines (IL-2, IL-6, IL-12, IL-18, GMCSF, TNF-alpha, or IFN-alpha, except IL-10) by neutralizing antibodies leads to reduced IFN-gamma production (19-82% inhibition in mouse and 44-77% inhibition in human systems, respectively).
628 12668155 In mice cytokines IL-2, IL-12, IL-18, and GMCSF are observed to synergize with BCG for IFN-gamma production, whereas in human cytokines IL-2, IL-12, TNF-alpha, and IFN-alpha exhibit similar synergistic effects.
629 12668155 Rational combinations of these Th1-stimulating cytokines (IL-12 plus IL-18 in mice and IL-2 plus IL-12 in humans, respectively) dramatically up-regulate IFN-gamma production that is incomparably superior to BCG for induction of this cytokine.

633 12687252 It has been demonstrated that amixin and poludan, the drugs made in our country, cause an increase of the serum IFN level, enhance the ability of leukocytes and lymphocytes to produce IFN-alpha and IFN-gamma, and lead to the activation of NK and peripheral blood phagocytes.
634 12687252 The number of CD3(+), CD4(+), CD8(+), CD19(+) cells, the level of the Ig A, IgG, IgM and several other parameters of the immune system were not affected by these drugs.
635 12688838 The two most widely investigated immunotherapy drugs for melanoma are interferon (IFN)-alpha and interleukin-2 (IL-2).

637 12716489 To study whether altered and reduced functional capacities of type I and type II IFNs would affect rotavirus-induced diarrhea and viral replication, we obtained signal transducers and activators of transcription 1 (Stat1) knock-out mice (Stat1(-/-)) that lack many IFN-induced responses.
638 12716489 Thus, modulating IFN function through the loss of Stat1 caused a defective innate immune response in adult mice but had no effect on rotavirus-induced diarrhea and replication in suckling mice.
639 12716489 Furthermore, adult Stat1(-/-), IFN-gamma, and IFN-alpha/beta receptor(-/-) (IFNAR-2(-/-)) mice infected with rotavirus or vaccinated with VP6 vaccine and adjuvant were fully protected against rotavirus shedding following a subsequent challenge with rotavirus.
640 12857909 Moreover, we detected high levels of active chicken alpha/beta IFN (IFN-alpha/beta) in supernatants of MVA-DeltaE3L-infected CEF, while moderate IFN quantities were found after MVA or MVA-E3rev infection and no IFN activity was present upon infection with wild-type vaccinia viruses.
641 12857909 Interestingly, pretreatment of CEF with similar amounts of recombinant chicken IFN-alpha inhibited growth of vaccinia viruses, including MVA.

645 12874261 CD11c+CD8+B220- cells were the most potent producers of interleukin (IL)-12 p70 and interferon (IFN)-gamma, while plasmacytoid DCs were the only subset capable of secreting IFN-alpha.
646 12874266 Immunization of hu-PBL-SCID mice with DCs generated after exposure of monocytes to GM-CSF/IFN-alpha (IFN-DCs) and pulsed with inactivated HIV-1 resulted in a marked induction of human anti-HIV-1 antibodies, which was associated with the detection of anti-HIV neutralizing activity in the serum.
647 12874266 This vaccination schedule also promoted the generation of a human CD8+ T cell response against HIV-1, as measured by IFN-gamma Elispot analysis.
648 12885891 Neutralizing antibodies against human RANTES, MIP-1alpha, MIP-1beta, alpha interferon (IFN-alpha), IFN-beta, IFN-gamma, interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-10, IL-13, IL-16, MCP-1, MCP-3, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), or TNF-beta failed to reverse the HIV-1-suppressive activity.

671 14575692 Although dsRNA is a virus-specific signature and a ligand for human Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3), largely uncharacterized multiple pathways associate virus-mediated IFN-beta induction.
672 14575692 The kinetics experiments with the laboratory MV strain revealed that TLR3 was induced late compared to IFN-beta and required new protein synthesis.
673 14575692 Furthermore, neutralizing antibodies against IFN-beta or IFNAR (Interferon-alpha/beta receptor) suppressed MV-induced TLR3 induction, indicating that type I IFN, IFN-alpha/beta, is critical for MV-mediated TLR3 induction.

771 15265893 There are two principle subsets of dendritic cells (DCs); CD11c(+)CD123(-) myeloid DCs (MDCs) and CD11c(-)CD123(+) plasmacytoid DCs (PDCs).
772 15265893 Using lineage (Lin) markers to exclude non-DCs, Lin(-)HLA-DR(+)CD11c(+)CD123(-) MDCs and Lin(-)HLA-DR(+)CD11c(-)CD123(+) PDCs were identified in the blood of uninfected macaques and healthy macaques infected with SIV or simian-human immunodeficiency virus.
773 15265893 Overnight culture of DC-enriched Lin-depleted cells increased CD80 and CD86 expression.
774 15265893 IL-12 production and CD80/CD86 expression by MDC/PDC mixtures was further enhanced by CD40L and ISS-ODN treatment.
775 15265893 A CpG-B ISS-ODN increased CD80/CD86 expression by PDCs, but resulted in little IFN-alpha secretion unless IL-3 was added.
776 15265893 In contrast, a CpG-C ISS-ODN and aldrithiol-2-inactivated (AT-2) SIV induced considerable PDC activation and IFN-alpha release without needing exogenous IL-3.
777 15265893 The CpG-C ISS-ODN also stimulated IL-12 release (unlike AT-2 SIV) and augmented DC immunostimulatory activity, increasing SIV-specific T cell IFN-gamma production induced by AT-2 SIV-presenting MDC/PDC-enriched mixtures.
778 15265893 These data highlight the functional capacities of MDCs and PDCs in naive as well as healthy, infected macaques, revealing a promising CpG-C ISS-ODN-driven DC activation strategy that boosts immune function to augment preventative and therapeutic vaccine efficacy.

787 15331713 IFN synthesis is regulated by specific transcription factors, including interferon regulatory factor (IRF-3), NF-kappaB, and AP-1.
788 15331713 Likewise, NF-kappaB and AP-1 were activated normally, as shown in electrophoretic mobility shift assays.
789 15342370 We show that IFN-alpha and polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (p-I:C) synergize with the "classical" type-1-polarizing cytokine cocktail [tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha)/IL-1beta/IFNgamma], allowing for serum-free generation of fully mature type-1-polarized DCs (DC1).
790 15342370 Such "alpha-type-1-polarized DC(s)" (alphaDC1) show high migratory responses to the CCR7 ligand, 6C-kine but produce much higher levels of IL-12p70 as compared to TNFalpha/IL-1beta/IL-6/prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)-matured DCs (sDC), the current "gold standard" in DC-based cancer vaccination.
791 15342370 A single round of in vitro sensitization with alphaDC1 (versus sDCs) induces up to 40-fold higher numbers of long-lived CTLs against melanoma-associated antigens: MART-1, gp100, and tyrosinase.
792 15507313 To improve the immune response, an adjuvant consisting of plasmid encoding either porcine interleukin (IL)-12 or IFN-alpha was co-administered during vaccination.
793 15507313 While this enhancement was only transient (1 week) when the IL-12 expressing plasmid was used, the effect was not only still apparent at 6 weeks after vaccination in the presence of the IFN-alpha expressing plasmid but even after challenge with a virulent genetically divergent PRRSV.
794 15507313 Despite the apparent augmentation of a T helper (Th) 1 type response by the inclusion of IFN-alpha or IL-12 during vaccination, this modulation did not necessarily correlate with a reduction in viremia.
795 15507313 To improve the immune response, an adjuvant consisting of plasmid encoding either porcine interleukin (IL)-12 or IFN-alpha was co-administered during vaccination.
796 15507313 While this enhancement was only transient (1 week) when the IL-12 expressing plasmid was used, the effect was not only still apparent at 6 weeks after vaccination in the presence of the IFN-alpha expressing plasmid but even after challenge with a virulent genetically divergent PRRSV.

801 15515120 Double-stranded secondary structures on mRNA induce type I interferon (IFN alpha/beta) production and maturation of mRNA-transfected monocyte-derived dendritic cells.
802 15528139 However, their activation program for cytokine production was different, being IL-12 mainly produced by myeloid DCs and IL-12, IL-10 and IFN-alpha mainly produced by plasmacytoid DCs.
803 15542655 Replication-deficient NS1 mutant viruses induced a rapid local release of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and IL-6.
804 15542655 The most rapid onset of the recall CD8(+)-T-cell response upon the wild-type virus challenge was detected in mice primed with NS1 mutant viruses eliciting high levels of cytokines.
805 15542655 It is noteworthy that there was one NS1 mutant virus encoding NS1 protein with a deletion of 40 amino acids predominantly in the RNA-binding domain that induced the highest levels of IFN-alpha/beta, IL-6 and IL-1beta after infection.
806 15543094 The elevated levels of immunoglobulins, about 20% more muscle in the pulmonary arteries, increased airway smooth muscle cells, and increased fetal hemoglobin and erythropoietin are evidence of chronic hypoxia before death.
807 15543094 These proinflammatory cytokines down-regulate gene expression of major cytochrome P-450 and/or other enzymes with the specific effects on mRNA levels, protein expression, and enzyme activity, thus affecting metabolism of several endogenous lipophilic substances, such as steroids, lipid-soluble vitamins, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, thromboxanes, and exogenous substances.
808 15543094 PEPCK deficit found in SIDS infants (caused also by vitamin A deficiency) and eventually enhanced by PACAP lipolysis of adipocyte triglycerides resulted in an increased FA level in blood because of their impaired reesterification to triacylglycerol in adipocytes.
809 15543094 Pulmonary edema and petechial hemorrhages often present in SIDS victims may be the result of the vascular leak syndrome caused by IL-2 and IFN-alpha.
810 15543094 Chronic hypoxia with the release of proinflammatory mediators IL-1alpha, IL-1beta and IL-6, and overloading of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems due to the narrowing airways and small pulmonary arteries of these children could also contribute to the development of these abnormalities.
811 15543094 Moreover, chronic hypoxia of SIDS infants induced also production of hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha (HIF-1alpha), which stimulated synthesis and release of different growth factors by vascular endothelial cells and intensified subclinical inflammatory reactions in the central nervous system, perhaps potentiated also by PACAP and VIP gene mutations.
812 15550117 Zymosan, poly(I:C) and CpG DNA, which signal through TLR2/6, 3 and 9, respectively, were found to strongly induce the production of IgG2a antibodies, whereas R-848 (TLR7) and LPS (TLR4) did so much more weakly.
813 15550117 In contrast, LPS, poly(I:C) and CpG DNA, but not zymosan, induced functional CD8+ T-cell responses against OVA; peptidoglycan (TLR2/?)
814 15550117 In addition, our results demonstrate that the ability of TLR stimuli to initiate CD8+ T-cell responses against soluble protein antigens is largely dependent on the IFN-alpha/beta signalling pathway.
815 15602727 The aim of this study was to assess the capacity of IFN-alpha to augment the cellular immune response to DNA vaccination against HCV core protein.
816 15602727 Three types of IFN-alpha were investigated: the non-species-specific hybrid IFN A/D, human pegylated IFN-alpha, and a plasmid that expressed murine IFN-alpha.
817 15602727 These findings demonstrate that the immunomodulatory properties of IFN-alpha can be exploited to augment DNA based immunization, but it is important to consider the effects of dose on both cellular and humoral immune response for optimal augmentation.

824 15606336 In the adjuvant setting, cytokine monotherapy (interferon [IFN]-alpha or interleukin [IL]-2) is not effective in improving progression-free or overall survival.
825 15606336 In metastatic kidney cancer patients with the tumor-bearing kidney in situ, a combination of radical nephrectomy plus IFN-alpha is more effective than IFN-alpha alone.
826 15606336 In metastatic kidney cancer without the option of operative removal of the primary tumor and/or metastases, cytokines such as IFN-alpha, IL-2 and IL-12 and their combinations result in response rates of 10-30%, but the 5-year overall survival is less than 10%.

833 15611232 Type I IFN negatively regulates CD8+ T cell responses through IL-10-producing CD4+ T regulatory 1 cells.
834 15611232 We used vaccine-induced, antiviral CD8(+) T cell responses in IFN-beta (IFN-beta(-/-))- or type I IFN receptor (IFNAR(-/-))-deficient mice to study immunomodulating effects of type I IFN that are not complicated by the interference of a concomitant virus infection.
835 15611232 Compared with normal B6 mice, IFNAR(-/-) or IFN-beta(-/-) mice have normal numbers of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells, and CD25(+)FoxP3(+) T regulatory (T(R)) cells in liver and spleen.
836 15611232 IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha production and clonal expansion of specific CD8(+) T cells from normal and knockout mice are similar.
837 15611232 CD25(+)FoxP3(+) T(R) cells down-modulate vaccine-primed CD8(+) T cell responses in normal, IFNAR(-/-), or IFN-beta(-/-) mice to a comparable extent.
838 15611232 Low IFN-alpha or IFN-beta doses (500-10(3) U/mouse) down-modulate CD8(+) T cells priming in vivo.
839 15611232 IFNAR- and IFN-beta-deficient mice generate 2- to 3-fold lower numbers of IL-10-producing CD4(+) T cells after polyclonal or specific stimulation in vitro or in vivo.
840 15611232 CD8(+) T cell responses are thus subjected to negative control by both CD25(+)FoxP3(+) T(R) cells and CD4(+)IL-10(+) T(R1) cells, but only development of the latter T(R) cells depends on type I IFN.
841 15634897 Dendritic cells and NK cells stimulate bystander T cell activation in response to TLR agonists through secretion of IFN-alpha beta and IFN-gamma.
842 15634897 In vitro, IFN-alphabeta, IL-18, and IL-12 all contributed to DC stimulation of NK cell IFN-gamma, whereas IFN-alphabeta was shown to be important for induction of T cell bystander activation and NK cell IFN-gamma production in vivo.
843 15661382 When exposed to inactivated pseudorabiesvirus (iPRV), plasmacytoid but not myeloid DCs released IFN-alpha and IL-12.
844 15722233 Interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1) mediates an antiviral state in cells by regulating the expression of the interferon (IFN-alpha/beta) system.
845 15744581 Such interaction was reported to induce the hematopoietic cells to release large amounts of Th2 cytokines IL-4, IL-5, IL-10 and IL-13.
846 15744581 Type I IFNs reactivate the patients' inhibited Th1 cells to synthesize IL-2 and IL-12 cytokines that activate the maturation of CTL precursors.
847 15744581 The CpG ODNs A and B bind to Toll like receptors that are present in pDCs and B cells, respectively, CpG ODN - A is the ligand for TLR9+ pDCs and induce the release of large amounts of IFN-alpha, beta.
848 15744581 Based on these studies, a hypothesis is presented that treatment of HIV-1 infected and AIDS patients with CpG ODN-A and B or CpG ODN-C have the potential to inhibit IL-4 synthesis and release from FcrepsilonRI+ hematopoietic cells by inducing TLR9+ pDCs to release large amounts of type I IFNs.
849 15744581 Type I IFNs reactivate the patients' Th1 cells to synthesize IL-2 and IL-12 cytokines, activators of the precursor cytotoxic T cells (CTLs), leading to the reactivation of the inhibited adaptive immune response.

862 15827150 Effects of nonstructural proteins NS1 and NS2 of human respiratory syncytial virus on interferon regulatory factor 3, NF-kappaB, and proinflammatory cytokines.
863 15827150 It has been shown previously that HRSV nonstructural proteins 1 and 2 (NS1 and NS2) inhibit the induction of alpha/beta interferon (IFN-alpha/beta) in A549 cells and human macrophages.
864 15827150 Two principal transcription factors for the early IFN-beta and -alpha1 response are interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF-3) and nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB).
865 15827150 At early times postinfection, wild-type HRSV and the NS1/NS2 deletion mutants were very similar in the ability to activate IRF-3.
866 15827150 However, once NS1 and NS2 were expressed significantly, they acted cooperatively to suppress activation and nuclear translocation of IRF-3.
867 15827150 Since these viruses differed greatly in the induction of IFN-alpha/beta, NF-kappaB activation was evaluated in Vero cells, which lack the structural genes for IFN-alpha/beta and would preclude confounding effects of IFN-alpha/beta.
868 15827150 Since recombinant HRSVs from which the NS1 or NS2 genes have been deleted are being developed as vaccine candidates, we investigated whether the changes in activation of host transcription factors and increased IFN-alpha/beta production had an effect on the epithelial production of proinflammatory factors.
869 15827150 Viruses lacking NS1 and/or NS2 stimulated modestly lower production of RANTES (Regulated on Activation Normal T-cell Expressed and Secreted), interleukin 8, and tumor necrosis factor alpha compared to wild-type recombinant RSV, supporting their use as attenuated vaccine candidates.

886 15832293 They strongly activate DC and monocytes, leading to TNF-alpha and IFN-alpha secretion.
887 15832293 The detailed analysis of the activated cell types, the study of the cytokines released from PBMC cultured with protamine-RNA complexes and recently published results suggest that TLR-7 and TLR-8 may be involved in the recognition of protamine-stabilized RNA.
888 15832296 However, HPV16 VLP induced pDC to secrete of IFN-alpha and IL-6, both cytokines that play a role in the generation of antibody responses, as well as TNFalpha and IL-8.
889 15832296 Finally, CpG-activated pDC, but not pDC exposed to HPV16 VLP, activated lymphocytes to secrete IL-10 and low levels of IFN-gamma.
890 15845642 Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guerin infects DC-SIGN- dendritic cell and causes the inhibition of IL-12 and the enhancement of IL-10 production.
891 15845642 Recent studies have shown that BCG and Mtb target the DC-specific C-type lectin intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) to infect DC and inhibit their immunostimulatory function.
892 15845642 This would occur through the interaction of the mycobacterial mannosylated lipoarabinomannan to DC-SIGN, which would prevent DC maturation and induce the immunosuppressive cytokine interleukin (IL)-10 synthesis.
893 15845642 Here, we confirm that DC-SIGN is expressed in DC derived from monocytes cultured in granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and IL-4 and show that it is not expressed in DC derived from monocytes cultured in GM-CSF and interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha).
894 15845642 We also demonstrate that DC-SIGN(-) DC cultured in GM-CSF and IFN-alpha are able to phagocytose BCG and to undergo a maturation program as well as DC-SIGN(+) DC cultured in IL-4 and GM-CSF.
895 15845642 We also show that BCG causes the impairment of IL-12 and the induction of IL-10 secretion by DC, irrespective of DC-SIGN expression.
896 15845642 Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guerin infects DC-SIGN- dendritic cell and causes the inhibition of IL-12 and the enhancement of IL-10 production.
897 15845642 Recent studies have shown that BCG and Mtb target the DC-specific C-type lectin intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) to infect DC and inhibit their immunostimulatory function.

900 15845642 We also demonstrate that DC-SIGN(-) DC cultured in GM-CSF and IFN-alpha are able to phagocytose BCG and to undergo a maturation program as well as DC-SIGN(+) DC cultured in IL-4 and GM-CSF.
901 15845642 We also show that BCG causes the impairment of IL-12 and the induction of IL-10 secretion by DC, irrespective of DC-SIGN expression.
902 15877606 Monocyte-derived dendritic cells (mDC), the most frequently applied DC subset in clinical studies, which can be obtained easily from peripheral blood monocytes after incubation with GM-CSF and IL-4, have not been clearly demonstrated to be activated by CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN).
903 15877606 However, we did not observe increased expression of maturation-associated and functionally relevant surface antigens (CD14, HLA-DR, CD40, CD83, CD80 and CD86), significant secretion of IL-12 and IFN-alpha in culture supernatant, or enhanced antitumour activation of cytokine-induced killer cells.
904 15905497 In addition to CD45RA(high) plasmacytoid DC, two distinct CD24(high) and CD11b(high) cDC subsets were present, and these subsets showed equivalent properties to splenic CD8(+) and CD8(-) cDC, respectively, in the following: 1) surface expression of CD11b, CD24, and signal regulatory protein-alpha; 2) developmental dependence on, and mRNA expression of, IFN regulatory factor-8; 3) mRNA expression of TLRs and chemokine receptors; 4) production of IL-12 p40/70, IFN-alpha, MIP-1alpha, and RANTES in response to TLR ligands; 5) expression of cystatin C; and 6) cross-presentation of exogenous Ag to CD8 T cells.
905 15905497 Furthermore, despite lacking surface CD8 expression, the CD24(high) subset contained CD8 mRNA and up-regulated surface expression when transferred into mice.
906 15919908 It has been shown previously that the nonstructural protein NS1 of influenza virus is an alpha/beta interferon (IFN-alpha/beta) antagonist, both in vitro and in experimental animal model systems.

935 15944268 Injection of R-848 and CpG oligodeoxynucleotides alone enhanced the innate immune responses in vivo as demonstrated by high serum levels of inflammatory cytokines, including IL-12p70 and IFN-alpha, and increased expression of CD80, CD86, and CD40 on CD11c(+) dendritic cells.
936 15944268 By contrast, R-848 was a relatively poor adjuvant for inducing primary Th1 or CD8(+) T cell responses when administered with HIV-1 Gag protein.
937 15944268 However, when a TLR7/8 agonist structurally and functionally similar to R-848 was conjugated to HIV-1 Gag protein both Th1 and CD8(+) T cells responses were elicited as determined by intracellular cytokine and tetramer staining.
938 15944297 HPV16 L1 VLP also activate production of proinflammatory factors IFN-alpha, IL-6, MIP-1alpha, RANTES, and KC, up-regulate the expression of costimulatory molecules by naive B cells, and increase the B1 B cell subpopulation.
939 15944297 Thus HPV16 L1 VLP directly activate B cells to induce CD4(+) T cell independent humoral immune responses via TLR4- and MyD88-dependent signaling.
940 15961575 It is interesting that the K-type CpG motif-modified plasmid stimulated significant levels of interferon (IFN)-gamma and IFN-alpha from human PBMC.
941 16037410 Dendritic cells differentiated in the presence of IFN-{beta} and IL-3 are potent inducers of an antigen-specific CD8+ T cell response.
942 16037410 Classically, mature monocyte-derived DC are generated in vitro in the presence of interleukin (IL)-4, granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor, and inflammatory cytokines (G4-DC).
943 16037410 Recently, it has been described that DC can also be generated in the presence of IL-3 and interferon (IFN)-beta and that these DC are efficiently matured using polyriboinosinic polyribocytidylic acid (I3-DC).
944 16037410 Phenotypic characterization of the DC revealed differences in the expression of the monocyte marker CD14 and the maturation marker CD83.
945 16037410 Low expression of CD14 and high expression of CD83 characterized G4-DC, whereas I3-DC displayed intermediate expression of CD14 and CD83.
946 16037410 Upon CD40 ligation, G4-DC produced lower amounts of IFN-alpha and pulmonary and activation-regulated chemokine, similar amounts of IL-6, macrophage-inflammatory protein (MIP)-1alpha, and MIP-1beta, and higher amounts of IL-12 p70, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and MIP-3beta than I3-DC.
947 16037410 Finally, in vitro stimulations showed that fresh and frozen peptide-loaded I3-DC are more potent inducers of Melan-A-specific CD8(+) T cell responses than G4-DC.
948 16081851 Mice bearing intracranial GL261 glioma or MCA205 sarcoma received peripheral immunizations with corresponding irradiated tumor cells engineered to express IL-4 or GM-CSFs, respectively, as well as intratumoral delivery of DC-IFN-alpha.
949 16081851 This regimen prolonged survival of the animals and induced tumor-specific CTLs that expressed TRAIL, which in concert with perforin and Fas ligand (FasL) was involved in the tumor-specific CTL activity of these cells.
950 16081851 The in vivo antitumor activity associated with this approach was abrogated by administration of neutralizing mAbs against TRAIL or FasL and was not observed in perforin-/-, IFN-gamma-/-, or FasL-/- mice.
951 16081851 Transduction of the tumor cells with antiapoptotic protein cellular FLIP rendered the gene-modified cells resistant to TRAIL- or FasL-mediated apoptosis and to CTL killing activity in vitro.
952 16113607 Twenty-two HLA A*0201 patients with stage IV melanoma were enrolled in a phase 1 safety and feasibility trial using a composite dendritic cell (DC) vaccine generated by culturing CD34 hematopoietic progenitors and activated with IFN-alpha.
953 16113607 The DC vaccine was loaded with peptides derived from four melanoma tissue differentiation antigens (MART-1, tyrosinase, MAGE-3, and gp100) and influenza matrix peptide (Flu-MP).
954 16113607 Melanoma-peptide-specific recall memory CD8 T cells able to secrete IFN-gamma and to proliferate could be detected in six of the seven analyzed patients.
955 16116238 Viral vectors may address both of these issues, as they can be used to deliver intact tumor Ags to DCs, and have been shown to inhibit the suppression mediated by CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells.
956 16116238 VRP infection of immature DCs was superior to TNF-alpha treatment at inducing phenotypic maturation of DCs, and was comparable to LPS stimulation.
957 16116238 Additionally, VRP-infected DC cultures secreted substantial amounts of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6, TNF-alpha, and IFN-alpha.
958 16116238 Finally, DCs transduced with a VRP encoding the influenza matrix protein (FMP) stimulated 50% greater expansion of FMP-specific CD8+ CTL when compared with TNF-alpha-matured DCs pulsed with an HLA-A*0201-restricted FMP peptide.
959 16148144 In addition to IL-12p40, HKBA induces other Th1-like cytokines, namely, IFN-alpha and IFN-gamma, in a TLR9-dependent manner.
960 16165219 Five groups received MLV vaccine with either bacterial endotoxin-derived adjuvant (ET), mixed open reading frame 5 (ORF5) peptides derived from various PRRSV isolates, porcine interferon alpha (IFNalpha), polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid stabilized with polylysine and carboxymethylcellulose (poly-ICLC), or porcine interleukin-12 (IL-12).
961 16165219 Four-color flow cytometry was utilized to simultaneously identify three major porcine T-cell surface markers (CD4, CD8, and gammadelta TCR) and detect activation marker CD25 (alpha chain of IL-2 receptor) or intracellular IFNgamma.
962 16165219 The MLV PRRSV vaccine alone successfully primed CD4(-)CD8(+)gammadelta- T-cells as demonstrated by a significant increase in %IFNgamma+ cells when live PRRSV was used as a recall antigen.
963 16165219 Booster immunizations of mixed ORF5 peptides and co-administration of IL-12 with MLV PRRSV vaccine significantly enhanced IFNgamma expression by some T-cell subsets (CD4(-)CD8(+)gammadelta+ and CD4(-)CD8(-)gammadelta+ for mixed ORF5 peptides and CD4(+)CD8(+)gammadelta- and CD4(-)CD8(+)gammadelta+ for IL-12).
964 16165219 Expression of IFNgamma by several T-cell subsets correlated with reduced lung lesions and viremia, whereas expression of CD25 did not.
965 16165219 Expression of surface CD25 did not correlate with IFNgamma production.
966 16186238 Interleukin 1 alpha (IL1alpha), alpha interferon (IFN-alpha), IL6, tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), GROalpha and MIP-1beta mRNA were elevated soon after infection, and expression coincided with virus replication.
967 16186238 A biphasic response was observed for RANTES, IFN-gamma, IL4, IL10 and IL12-p40, with increased mRNA levels early during virus replication followed by a later increase that coincided with pulmonary inflammation.

980 16278038 In comparison to microparticles containing only OVA, bulk cultures of bone marrow-derived plasmacytoid and myeloid dendritic cells produced more (P<0.05) IL-12 and interferon (IFN)-alpha when stimulated with microparticles containing OVA and poly-U.
981 16415100 In vivo antibody blocking experiments revealed that CD8(+) T cells, but not CD4(+) T, NK or NKT cells, were the major effector cells mediating tumor eradication.
982 16415100 Neither IFN-gamma(-/-) nor IL-12(-/-) mice showed impaired induction of tetramer(+) CTLs.
983 16415100 Thus, these findings revealed that CpG-ODN-induced IFN-alpha/beta, but not IL-12 or IFN-gamma, is critical for the generation of tumor-specific CTLs in response to vaccination.
984 16499575 These cells can be generated from peripheral blood monocytes cultured with granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin-4 (IL-4).
985 16499575 We found that 24-h IFN-alpha co-culture of day 7 monocyte-derived DC generated with GM-CSF and IL-4 induces increased numbers of DC positive for CD54 and CD40 together with the co-stimulatory molecule CD80 but not the activation marker CD83.
986 16499575 Also, IFN-alpha maturation leads to an increase in IP-10 and MCP-1 chemokine secretion, but only a minor increase in IL-12p40 secretion.

990 16585561 We have investigated how IFN-alphabeta induces cross-priming, comparing CD8+ T cell responses generated against soluble protein Ags in the presence or absence of IFN-alphabeta.
991 16585561 Injection of IFN-alpha was found to prolong the proliferation and expansion of Ag-specific CD8+ T cells, which was associated with marked up-regulation of IL-2 and IL-15 receptors on Ag-specific cells and expression of IL-15 in the draining lymph node.
992 16585561 Surprisingly, neither IL-2 nor IL-15 was required for IFN-alpha-induced cross-priming.

996 16630025 Interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) alone was a poor inducer of MoDC maturation, but in association with tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), or TLR ligands such as lipopolysaccharide and polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid I:C, an up-regulation of major histocompatibility complex II and CD80/86 expression was noted, along with reduced endocytic activity.
997 16630025 Indeed, MoDC did not respond to transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), whereas NIPC produced high levels of IFN-alpha and TNF-alpha after TGEV stimulation.
998 16630025 Interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) alone was a poor inducer of MoDC maturation, but in association with tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), or TLR ligands such as lipopolysaccharide and polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid I:C, an up-regulation of major histocompatibility complex II and CD80/86 expression was noted, along with reduced endocytic activity.

1001 16651452 Immunization of stage IV melanoma patients with Melan-A/MART-1 and gp100 peptides plus IFN-alpha results in the activation of specific CD8(+) T cells and monocyte/dendritic cell precursors.
1002 16651452 We have carried out a pilot phase I-II trial to determine the effects of IFN-alpha, administered as an adjuvant of Melan-A/MART-1:26-35(27L) and gp100:209-217(210M) peptides, on immune responses in stage IV melanoma patients.
1003 16651452 In five of the seven evaluable patients, a consistent enhancement of CD8(+) T cells recognizing modified and native MART-1 and gp100 peptides and MART-1(+)gp100(+) melanoma cells was observed.
1004 16651452 In all patients, treatment augmented significantly the percentage of CD14(+) monocytes and particularly of the CD14(+)CD16(+) cell fraction.
1005 16651452 An increased expression of CD40 and CD86 costimulatory molecules in monocytes was also observed.
1006 16651452 Notably, postvaccination monocytes from two of the three patients showing stable disease or long disease-free survival showed an enhanced antigen-presenting cell function and capability to secrete IP10/CXCL10 when tested in mixed leukocyte reaction assays, associated to a boost of antigen and melanoma-specific CD8(+) T cells.

1013 16672547 Using the SIV-macaque system to advance oral vaccine research, we examined macaque PDC and MDC biology, identifying ways to activate DCs and boost antiviral immunity.
1014 16672547 Immunostimulatory oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ISS-ODNs) stimulated PDC/MDC mixtures to up-regulate co-stimulatory molecule expression and to secrete both IFN-alpha and IL-12.
1015 16672547 Additionally, ISS-ODNs augmented SIV-specific IFN-gamma responses induced by virus-bearing DCs.
1016 16690948 We hypothesized that plasmacytoid dendritic cells, the cells that provide large amounts of IFN-alpha in response to Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) agonists, are defective in neonates.
1017 16690948 TLR9-stimulation of whole blood from adults and neonates resulted in comparable amounts of IFN-alpha production.
1018 16690948 However, we observed small but significant differences in IFN-alpha production from purified CD123+ plasmacytoid dendritic cells from neonates after stimulation with the TLR9 ligand CpG-DNA.
1019 16690948 While purified CD123+ plasmacytoid dendritic cells from adults up-regulated co-stimulatory molecules CD80 and CD86 with IL-3 alone those from neonates required the addition of CpG-DNA to reach adult levels.

1028 16704888 The adjuvant effects of the toll-like receptor 3 ligand polyinosinic-cytidylic acid poly (I:C) on antigen-specific CD8+ T cell responses are partially dependent on NK cells with the induction of a beneficial cytokine milieu.
1029 16704888 Poly (I:C), a TLR3 ligand, has shown promise as a vaccine adjuvant to CD8(+) T cell responses.
1030 16704888 Poly (I:C) treatment was associated with a rapid induction of inflammatory cytokines in the serum, including IL-6, IL-10, MCP-1, TNF-alpha, IFN-alpha, and IFN-gamma, and selective increases in the numbers of NK (NK1.1(+)CD11b(+)) cells and Mvarphi (NK1.1(-)CD11b(+)), but not NK T (CD3(+)NK1.1(+)) cells.
1031 16704888 Poly (I:C) treatment in TNF-alpha, type I IFNR, IFN-gamma, IL-6, IL-12Rbeta2, or IL-15 gene-deficient mice revealed a reciprocal interaction and interdependence in the induction of these cytokines, where the absence of one cytokine impacted on the production of others.
1032 16704888 Further, the adjuvant effects of poly (I:C) were dependent on the endogenous levels of type I IFNs, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, IL-12, and IL-15.

1040 16725231 Because viral infections are known to trigger innate immune responses that lead to the rapid production of Type I Interferons (IFNs), namely IFN-alpha and IFN-beta, we investigated the role of Type I IFNs in the enhanced immunogenicity of replicase-based DNA vaccines.
1041 16775317 The NS1 protein is an important virulence factor associated with the suppression of innate immunity via the inhibition of type I interferon (IFN) production in infected cells.
1042 16775317 Among the genes affected by NS1 are those coding for macrophage inflammatory protein 1beta, interleukin-12 p35 (IL-12 p35), IL-23 p19, RANTES, IL-8, IFN-alpha/beta, and CCR7.
1043 16775317 These results indicate that the influenza A virus NS1 protein is a bifunctional viral immunosuppressor which inhibits innate immunity by preventing type I IFN release and inhibits adaptive immunity by attenuating human DC maturation and the capacity of DCs to induce T-cell responses.

1069 16783851 Pre-treatment with IFN-alpha/beta did not alter the ability of DC to mature in response to subsequent contact with TLR agonists, but did modulate their secretion of chemokines.
1070 16783851 Conversely, IFN-alpha/beta was shown to act synergistically with TLR4 but not TLR3 agonists for the induction of maturation and chemokine production when DC were exposed to IFN-alpha/beta and TLR ligands simultaneously.
1071 16783851 Taken together, these results indicate a complex role for IFN-alpha/beta in regulating DC function during the course an infection, which varies according to IFN-alpha/beta subtype and the timing of exposure to other stimuli.

1088 16810633 Although plasmacytoid dendritic cell numbers were similar, serum interferon (IFN)-alpha levels in RelB(-/-) and RelB(+/-) chimeras were markedly lower than in RelB(+/+) chimeras during early LCMV infection.
1089 16810633 Further, both RelB(-/-) and RelB(+/-) chimeras mounted a lower-magnitude LCMV-specific CD8(+) T cell response than their RelB(+/+) counterparts, although the LCMV-specific CD8(+) T cells present were differentiated into functional cytotoxic cells.

1126 17008080 It was observed that despite differential induction of Interleukin(IL)-12 and IL-10 production, identical IL-12/IL-10 concentration ratio was obtained by all Brucella strains DNAs that was 2 after 24 h and 4 after 5 days of incubation.
1127 17008080 In addition, IL-2 and Interferon(IFN)-gamma production were profoundly increased compared to the medium at day 3 and 5 respectively but IFN-alpha was not induced.

1133 17068156 Recent studies demonstrate that VLPs bind to dendritic cells and induce the expression of antiviral cytokines such as interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha), interleukin-10 (IL-10) and IFN-gamma.
1134 17068156 Here, we show that VLPs suppress the replication of both X4 and R5 HIV-1 without affecting the expression of CD4, CXCR4, and CCR5.
1135 17068156 VLPs induced the genes associated with IFN induction, immune responses, and antiviral responses, among with the recently described cytokine IL-27.
1136 17068156 Subsequently, IL-27 was found to be a potent inhibitor of HIV-1 replication in PBMCs, CD4+ T cells, and macrophages.
1137 17068156 Taken together, our studies identify a novel role of IL-27 in restricting HIV-1 replication and suggest that further examination of the inhibitory property of IL-27 may pave the way for a novel therapy for HIV-1 infection.

1139 17108047 While the majority of serotypes utilize coxsackievirus-adenovirus receptor (CAR) as their primary attachment receptor, subgroup B and subgroup D Ad37 serotypes use CD46.
1140 17108047 We found that CD46 Ads were capable of alpha interferon (IFN-alpha) induction by peripheral blood mononuclear cells and that plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) were the principal producers of this cytokine.
1141 17108047 IFN-alpha induction correlated with the permissivity of pDCs to CD46- but not CAR-utilizing Ad serotypes.
1142 17108047 A role for Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) recognition of Ad was supported by the requirement for viral DNA and efficient endosomal acidification and by the ability of a TLR9-inhibitory oligonucleotide to attenuate IFN-alpha induction.
1143 17108047 Cell lines expressing TLR9 that are permissive to infection by both CAR- and CD46-utilizing serotypes showed a preferential induction of TLR9-mediated events by CD46-utilizing Ads.

1208 17855554 Increased IFN-alpha levels were induced upon treatment with mildly UV-irradiated MVA, suggesting that a virus-encoded immune modulator(s) interfered with the host cytokine response.
1209 17855554 Mice devoid of Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), the receptor for double-stranded DNA, mounted normal IFN-alpha responses upon MVA treatment.
1210 17855554 Furthermore, mice devoid of the adaptors of TLR signaling MyD88 and TRIF and mice deficient in protein kinase R (PKR) showed IFN-alpha responses that were only slightly reduced compared to those of wild-type mice.
1211 17855554 MVA-induced IFN-alpha responses were critically dependent on autocrine/paracrine triggering of the IFN-alpha/beta receptor and were independent of IFN-beta, thus involving "one-half" of a positive-feedback loop.
1212 17914407 The gene encoding granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) was inserted as an additional transcription unit at two different positions into the NDV genome.
1213 17914407 Furthermore, rec(GM-CSF) led to a much higher interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) production than rec(-) when added as virus or as virus-modified vaccine to PBMC.
1214 18164612 In the first study, 60 patients in France and the UK received injections of SRL172, and their survival was compared with that of historical controls who had been treated either with biological response modifiers (IL-2, IFN-alpha) or chemotherapy.
1215 18164612 The first study showed that those treated with SRL172 alone survived equally as long as those receiving IL-2 or IFN-alpha and both treatment groups survived longer than those on chemotherapy (p<0.001), a result supported by Cox's proportional hazards regression analysis.

1218 18317362 Given the perceived need to augment antitumor type-1 immunity (TC1 and Th1) as a therapeutic end point, and the known functional plasticity of DC populations that may display heterogeneous capacity to promote T-cell responses, we sought to identify a preferred DC preparation with this capacity.
1219 18317362 We compared 2 different preparations of monocyte-derived DC using interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) (IFN-DC and alphaDC1) with classic DCs "matured" (mDCs) using interleukin-1beta/interleukin-6/tumor necrosis factor-alpha/prostaglandin E2, for their ability to promote autologous TC1 antitumor responses from RCC patients in vitro.
1220 18317362 IFN-alpha-conditioned DC promoted significantly higher numbers of RCC-specific CD8+ T cells exhibiting a cytotoxic phenotype after in vitro stimulation (IVS) than cytokine cocktail-mDCs.

1224 18351335 In addition, T cells from surviving-immunized animals secreted IFNgamma when were co-cultured with IFNalpha-treated B16 melanoma cells or DCs pulsed with melanoma extract.
1225 18377354 The current paper under evaluation described one randomized Phase III trial of the therapeutic vaccine Melacine plus low-dose IFN-alpha(2b), which had an effect comparable to standard high-dose interferon-alpha(2b) but with less toxicity.
1226 18400516 Analysis of the promoters of the salmon IFN-alpha1 and IFN-alpha2 genes shows that activation is dependent on both NFkappaB and IRFs similar to human IFN-beta.
1227 18450338 The current "gold standard" for generation of dendritic cell (DC) used in DC-based cancer vaccine studies is maturation of monocyte-derived DCs with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)/IL-1beta/IL-6 and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)).
1228 18450338 Recently, a protocol for producing so-called alpha-Type-1 polarized dendritic cells (alphaDC1) in serum-free medium was published based on maturation of monocyte-derived DCs with TNF-alpha/IL-1-beta/polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly-I:C)/interferon (IFN)-alpha and IFN-gamma.
1229 18450338 We showed that alphaDC1 in this protocol induce lower up-regulation of CD83 and several other maturation markers, co-stimulatory molecules and CCR7 together with higher up-regulation of inhibitory molecules such as PD-L1, ILT2, ILT3 as compared to sDC.
1230 18490712 Here we show that treatment of murine fetal thymic organ cultures (FTOCs) with TLR3 or TLR7 ligands induced rapid expression of IFN-alpha and -beta mRNA, hallmarks of acute and chronic viral infections.
1231 18490712 Down-regulation of IL-7R alpha-chain expression, together with an increased expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 and a concomitant decreased expression of the transcriptional regulator growth factor independence 1 were observed in TLR ligands or IFN-treated FTOCs.
1232 18490712 Because TLR ligands are widely used as vaccine adjuvants, their immunomodulatory actions mediated mainly by IFN-alpha suggested by our results should be taken in consideration.

1236 18490714 To study this further, we have constructed recombinant vaccinia viruses expressing HIV or hemagglutinin (HA) Ags along with murine type I IFNs, IFN-alpha(4) (HA-VV-IFN-alpha(4)), IFN-beta (HA-VV-IFN-beta), or IFN-epsilon (HIV-VV-IFN-epsilon), a recently discovered member of this family.
1237 18490714 Flow cytofluorometric analysis of B lymphocytes incubated with virally encoded IFN-epsilon showed up-regulation of activation markers CD69 and CD86, while RT-PCR of IFN-epsilon-treated cells revealed that gene expression levels of antiviral proteins were elevated, indicating the induction of an antiviral state.
1238 18579593 The V protein of measles virus is an important virulence factor that can interfere with host innate immunity by inactivating alpha/beta interferon (IFN-alpha/beta) and IFN-gamma signaling through protein interactions with signal transducer and activator of transcription proteins STAT1 and STAT2.
1239 18579593 Here we demonstrate that although STAT1 interference results from protein interactions within a V protein N-terminal region encompassed by amino acids 110 to 130, detection of STAT1 interaction and IFN-gamma signaling inhibition requires the presence of cellular STAT2.
1240 18579593 A more direct target for measles virus V protein-mediated IFN-alpha/beta evasion is STAT2.
1241 18579593 Results indicate that the widely conserved C-terminal zinc finger domain of measles virus V protein is both necessary and sufficient to bind STAT2 and disrupt IFN-alpha/beta signal transduction.
1242 18579593 Mutagenesis and molecular modeling define a contact surface for STAT2 association that includes aspartic acid residue 248 as critical for STAT2 interference and IFN antiviral immune suppression.

1253 18602433 When combining them a synergistic up-regulation of the genes interferon (IFN)-alpha1/alpha2, Mx, CXCL10, IL-1beta, IFN-gamma and CD83 was detected.
1254 18602433 Interestingly, synergies between two different CpG ODNs classes also resulted in pronounced IFN-alpha1/alpha2 and IFN-gamma transcripts levels.
1255 18632652 Here, we show that monocyte-derived immature human DCs stimulated with polyinosinic acid:polycytidylic acid, IFN-alpha, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), and IFN-gamma, alpha-type 1-polarized DC (alpha DC1), secrete profuse amounts of the CXCR3 ligand CXCL9/MIG and substantial amounts of CXCL10/IP-10 and CXCL11/I-TAC after withdrawal of maturation stimuli.
1256 18632652 In sharp contrast, no measurable production of these chemokines was found in DCs after maturation with the current gold standard maturation cocktail for human DC-based cancer vaccines consisting of TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-6, and prostaglandin-E(2) (PGE(2)-DC).
1257 18632652 PGE(2)-DCs preferentially produced the Th2 and regulatory T-cell-attracting chemokines CCL17/TARC and CCL22/MDC, whereas only marginal levels of these chemokines were produced by alpha DC1s.
1258 18632652 Functional studies in vitro showed that supernatants from mature alpha DC1s actively recruited CD3(-)CD56(+) NK cells and that adding anti-CXCL9/MIG antibodies to the alpha DC1 supernatant substantially reduced this recruitment.
1259 18632652 Finally, alpha DC1s were able to induce IFN-gamma production when cocultured with resting autologous NK cells, but only if concurrent CD40 ligation was provided.
1260 18632653 This PGE(2)-induced overproduction of CCL22 and the resulting attraction of FOXP3(+) Tregs are counteracted by IFN alpha, a mediator of acute inflammation, which also restores the ability of the PGE(2)-exposed DC to secrete the Th1-attracting chemokines: CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, and CCL5.
1261 18758466 Inhibition of mTOR or its 'downstream' mediators, the p70 ribosomal S6 protein kinases p70S6K1 and p70S6K2, during pDC activation by Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) blocked the interaction of TLR9 with the adaptor MyD88 and subsequent activation of the interferon-regulatory factor IRF7, which resulted in impaired IFN-alpha/beta production.
1262 18953536 Short activation of FL-DC for as little as 4 h induced fully functional DC that rapidly secreted IL-12p70 and IFN-alpha, expressed high levels of costimulatory and MHC molecules and efficiently presented antigen to CD4 and CD8 T cells.
1263 18989354 To further enhance the efficacy of DNA-EP, we have evaluated the toll-like receptor7 (TLR7) agonist-2, 9, substituted 8-hydroxyadenosine derivative or SM360320--as an adjuvant to vaccines against HER2/neu and CEA in BALB-neuT and CEA transgenic mice (CEA.Tg), respectively.
1264 18989354 SM360320 induced in vivo secretion of interferon alpha (IFNalpha) and exerted a significant antitumor effect in CEA.Tg mice challenged with a syngenic tumor cell line expressing CEA and an additive effect with a CEA vaccine.
1265 18989354 These data demonstrate that SM360320 exerts significant antitumor effects and can act in association with DNA-EP for CEA-positive colon cancer and HER2-positive mammary carcinoma.
1266 19017955 Targeting poly(I:C) to the TLR3-independent pathway boosts effector CD8 T cell differentiation through IFN-alpha/beta.
1267 19017955 A higher percentage of Ag-specific CD8 T cells became IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha producers in the absence of TLR3 signaling.
1268 19017955 Ultimately, however, the fundamental mechanism of CD8 effector T cell differentiation through the TLR3-independent pathway was shown to be completely IFN-alpha/beta-dependent.

1272 19027322 Peripheral blood samples were measured by ELISA for plasma levels of IL-2, IL-6, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, and IFN-alpha.
1273 19027322 The pattern of production of IFN-gamma was opposite to that of TNF-alpha, but statistical significance was stronger in patients receiving ATT and Dzherelo+Anemin than in Dzherelo group: -34% (P=0.004), +31.9% (P=0.008), and +17.3% (P=0.33), respectively.
1274 19054578 In this study, we evaluated the patterns of TLR2-, TLR3- and TLR9-expressing antigen presenting cells (APCs) in spleen and blood of gnotobiotic (Gn) pigs after colonization with a mixture of two strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus reuteri or infection with the virulent human rotavirus (HRV) Wa strain.
1275 19054578 We demonstrated that LAB induced strong TLR2-expressing APC responses in blood and spleen, HRV induced a TLR3 response in spleen, and TLR9 responses were induced by either HRV (in spleen) or LAB (in blood).
1276 19054578 LAB and HRV have an additive effect on TLR2- and TLR9-expressing APC responses, consistent with the adjuvant effect of LAB.
1277 19054578 LAB enhanced the IFN-gamma and IL-4 responses in serum, but it had a suppressive effect on the TLR3- and TLR9-expressing CD14- APC responses in spleen and the serum IFN-alpha response induced by HRV.
1278 19054578 These results elucidated the systemic TLR2-, TLR3-, and TLR9-expressing monocyte/macrophage and cDC responses after HRV infection, LAB colonization, and the two combined.
1279 19157569 Of 11 vaccine adjuvants tested, five (i.e. interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-12, interferon alpha (IFNalpha), polyinosinic and polycytidylic acid, and cytidine-phosphate-guanosine oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG ODN)) significantly enhance CMI response to PRRSV vaccines.
1280 19196197 Role of IL-15 and IL-21 in viral immunity: applications for vaccines and therapies.
1281 19196197 Two recently discovered cytokines (IL-15 and IL-21) appear to be key regulators in this process.
1282 19196197 IL-15 induces an antiviral state during innate immunity through the regulation of IFN-alpha/beta production and natural killer cell proliferation.
1283 19196197 During the memory phase, antigen-specific CD8(+) T cells are highly dependent on IL-15 signaling.
1284 19196197 IL-21 induces natural killer cell maturation and IFN-gamma production and acts to enhance the proliferation of memory CD8(+) T cells, its effects being more pronounced when combined with IL-15.

1291 19342665 S221 did not replicate well in wild-type mice, but did induce a CD8(+) T cell response, whereas viral replication and a robust CD8(+) T cell response were observed after infection of IFN-alpha/betaR(-/-) mice.
1292 19342665 Depletion of CD8(+) T cells from IFN-alpha/betaR(-/-) mice before infection resulted in significantly higher viral loads compared with undepleted mice.

1303 19428829 Furthermore, the addition of polyphosphazene to CpG ODN and indolicidin dose-dependently enhanced the secretion of the cytokines IFN-alpha, TNF-alpha and IFN-gammain vitro, indicating that polyphosphazene can also synergize with CpG ODN and indolicidin to stimulate innate immune responses.
1304 19428835 In order to obtain full functional capacity, these DCs need to be maturated, and the current "gold standard" for this process is maturation with TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6 and PGE(2) used for generating standard DCs (sDC).
1305 19428835 We observed that maturation by IFN-alpha differs from sDC maturation: The major phenotypic change after IFN-alpha maturation was dose-dependent up-regulation of CD38 but not CD83, while sDCs expressed the opposite profile with low CD38 and high CD83 expression.
1306 19428835 Similarly, maturation by Poly I:C leads to CD38high, CD83low DCs indicating a functional relationship between CD38, IFN-alpha and TLR3.
1307 19428835 Thus, CD38 appear to be a relevant marker for activation by TLR3 or IFN-alpha.
1308 19428835 Addition of IFN-alpha to the sDC cocktail results in up-regulation of both CD38 and CD83 and improved capacity for induction of autologous T-cell responses despite few other changes in DC phenotype and cytokine secretion.
1309 19428835 Our observations suggest that IFN-alpha could be included in maturation protocols for clinical grade DCs used for immunotherapy against cancer and should be included if DCs are used for CD8+ T-cell stimulation in vitro.

1351 19494321 Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) possess an immune plasticity manifested by either an immunosuppressive or, when activated with IFN-gamma, an APC phenotype.
1352 19494321 We observed that human MSC and macrophages expressed TLR3 and TLR4 at comparable levels and TLR-mediated activation of MSC resulted in the production of inflammatory mediators such as IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8/CXCL8, and CCL5.
1353 19494321 IFN-alpha or IFN-gamma priming up-regulated production of these inflammatory mediators and expression of IFNB, inducible NO synthase (iNOS), and TRAIL upon TLR activation in MSC and macrophages, but failed to induce IL-12 and TNF-alpha production in MSC.
1354 19494321 In addition, IFN priming combined with TLR activation may increase immune responses induced by Ag-presenting MSC through presentation of Ag in an inflammatory context, a mechanism that could be applied in a cell-based vaccine.
1355 19549606 Compared to the vaccination with rHBsAg alone, LMS could up-regulate the expressions of TLR7&8, MyD88, IRF7 and their downstream pro-inflammatory cytokines including IFN-alpha and TNF-alpha, which promote DCs activation.
1356 19549606 Strikingly, we find that the combination of LMS and alum adjuvant synergistically enhances immunogenicity of rHBsAg and leads to a robust cell-mediated response demonstrated by the higher level of IgG2a/IgG1, T cell proliferation, and importantly, a high level of antigen-specific CTL and IFN-gamma production within these activated CD8(+) T cells.

1394 19667099 Type I interferon (IFN alpha) acts directly on human memory CD4+ T cells altering their response to antigen.
1395 19667099 The aim of this study was to examine the impact of IFNalpha on the function of human memory CD4(+) T cells using the recall Ags purified protein derivative, tetanus toxoid, and hemagglutinin.
1396 19667099 Purifying the memory CD4(+)CD45RO(+) T cells confirmed IFNalpha acted directly on these cells and not via an intermediate.
1397 19667099 The T cells could be divided into two broad categories depending on how IFNalpha effected their responses to cognate Ag: 1) enhanced proliferation and a striking increase in IFNgamma-production compared with smaller increases in IL-10 (increased ratio of IFNgamma:IL-10), and 2) neutral or diminished proliferation coupled with a smaller increase in IFNgamma relative to the increase in IL-10 (reduced IFNgamma:IL-10 ratio).
1398 19730851 The presence of an anti-interferon (IFN)-alpha antibody resulted in enhanced NDV production kinetics in a dose-dependent manner by blocking binding of NDV-induced IFN to its receptor.

1404 19769732 Based on our recent studies, efficient CNS tumor homing is a characteristic of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) with a type 1 phenotype (Tc1), and this appears to be related to the Tc1 response to the type 1 CXC chemokine ligand (CXCL) 10 [also known as interferon (IFN)-inducible protein (IP)-10] and expression of an integrin receptor very late antigen (VLA)-4 on Tc1.
1405 19769732 In addition, we have previously shown that direct intratumoral delivery of dendritic cells (DCs) ex vivo engineered to secrete IFN-alpha further enhances Tc1 homing via upregulation of CXCL10/IP-10 in the tumor microenvironment.
1406 19769732 As a means to induce IFN-alpha and CXCL10/IP-10 in the CNS tumor microenvironment in a clinically feasible manner, we used administration of polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid stabilized by lysine and carboxymethylcellulose (poly-ICLC), a ligand for toll-like receptor 3 and melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) in combination with vaccinations targeting CTL epitopes derived from glioma-associated antigens (GAAs).

1422 19816561 Investigation of the role of type I interferon (IFN-alpha/beta) in protection of mice from viscerotropic YFV infection revealed that mice deficient in the IFN-alpha/beta receptor (A129) or the STAT1 signaling molecule (STAT129) were highly susceptible to infection and disease, succumbing within 6-7 days.
1423 19816561 Rapid viremic dissemination and extensive replication in visceral organs, spleen and liver, was associated with severe pathologies in these tissues and dramatically elevated MCP-1 and IL-6 levels, suggestive of a cytokine storm.
1424 19819211 Consistent with this model, mice vaccinated with the specific vaccine rVSV HA had high levels of IFN-alpha in the serum by 24h after challenge/vaccination, developed serum neutralizing Ab to influenza 2 days prior to control animals, and had detectable anti-HA CD8 T cells present in the peripheral blood 3 days prior to control mice.
1425 19880818 Focusing on type I interferon (IFN) expression, we observed that influenza-infected NECs from smokers produced significantly less IFN-alpha than NECs from nonsmokers.
1426 19880818 Similarly, the expression of IRF7, a key transcription factor controlling the expression of IFN-alpha, was significantly decreased in influenza-infected and IFN-beta-stimulated NECs from smokers.
1427 19880818 Furthermore, our data indicate that the DNA methylation of the IRF7 gene and expression of the DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase 1 was enhanced in NECs from smokers.

1431 19895246 In the past decade progress has been made, ranging from rather nonspecific stimulations of the immune system with IL-2 and IFN-alpha to more specific approaches based on vaccination with tumor antigens.
1432 19896784 Finally, an inverse correlation seemed to exist between early induction of IFN-alpha and the protection observed, while IL-10 seemed to be differentially regulated in vaccinated and non-vaccinated animals.
1433 20028856 Anti-murine CCL2/CCL12 monoclonal antibodies were administered in three immunotherapy models: one aimed at the human papillomavirus E7 antigen expressed by a non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) line, one targeted to mesothelin expressed by a mesothelioma cell line, and one using an adenovirus-expressing IFN-alpha to treat a nonimmunogenic NSCLC line.

1455 20099135 The activity of several potent adjuvants, including incomplete Freund's adjuvant, CpG oligodeoxynucleotides, and alum, has been shown to be due at least in part to the induction of cytokines, including type I interferons (IFNs), IFN-gamma, interleukin-2 (IL-2), and IL-12, that play key roles in the regulation of innate and adaptive immunity.
1456 20099135 Although a number of cytokines including IFN-alpha, IFN-gamma, IL-2, IL-12, IL-15, IL-18, IL-21, GM-CSF, and Flt-3 ligand have been shown to potentiate the immune response to vaccination in various experimental models, the full potential of cytokines as vaccine adjuvants remains to be established.
1457 20100933 We used multicolor flow cytometry and intracellular cytokine staining of myeloid DCs (mDCs) and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) and found substantial decreases in older compared with young individuals in TNF-alpha, IL-6, and/or IL-12 (p40) production in mDCs and in TNF-alpha and IFN-alpha production in pDCs in response to TLR1/2, TLR2/6, TLR3, TLR5, and TLR8 engagement in mDCs and TLR7 and TLR9 in pDCs.

1459 20117268 Both naïve and immunized sheep also showed increased CD4 T cell, IL-12 and IFN-alpha responses.
1460 20178101 We have recently proposed that the progression or regression of a tumor lesion in cancer patients undergoing immunotherapy could be predetermined by the molecular mechanism responsible for the MHC Class I alteration and not by the type of immunotherapy used, i.e., interleukin-2 (IL-2), Bacillus Calmette-Guèrin (BCG), interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha), peptides alone, dendritic cells loaded with peptides, protein-bound polysaccharide etc.
1461 20219878 Compared to the levels in the controls, the levels of alpha interferon (IFN-alpha), interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), IL-12, and IFN-gamma were increased in TBLN homogenates from PRV-infected pigs at 1 dpi, whereas the IL-18 levels were decreased from 3 to 6 dpi.

1463 20219878 Flow cytometric analysis of TBLN homogenates of PRV-infected pigs and the controls revealed increases in the percentages of B cells at 6 dpi, CD4(+) cells at 14 dpi, and CD25 expression in TBLN homogenates (in the total mononuclear fraction and on B cells) in the PRV-infected pigs.
1464 20238400 This review discusses the impact of alcohol metabolism on HCV replication and the negative impact on interferon (IFN)-alpha treatment, with a particular focus on how alcohol and HCV act synergistically to increase oxidative stress, ultimately leading to exacerbated liver disease and a reduction in the efficacy of IFN-alpha treatment.
1465 20390417 Evidence for this came from the marked increase in the IFN-gamma mRNA expression in CD4+ T cells in the draining inguinal lymph nodes, an increase in the number of functional HER-2/neu-specific CTLs, and the increased tumor infiltration of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, depletion of which abolishes the antitumor effect of the HER-2/neu DNA vaccine-AC therapy.

1525 20660347 Inhibition of the response to one TLR by another may affect the ultimate response to pathogens like M. tuberculosis that express agonists of multiple TLRs, including TLR2 and TLR9.
1526 21074276 Regulation of IgA production in cattle is not completely understood and thus we have focused in part on highly conserved factors such as transforming growth factor beta, Type I and Type 2 interferons, neuropeptides which interdigitate mucosal tissues (vasoactive intestinal peptide or VIP), and a small peptide (IgA inducing peptide or IGIP) which can serve as targets for modulation and increasing SIgA virus-specific antibodies.
1527 21074276 In previous studies in cattle, IgA has been shown to be regulated by several cytokines including IFN-gamma, Type I interferons such as IFN-alpha and IFN-tau, transforming growth factor beta, IgA inducing peptide and other potential factors such as APRIL and BlyS which have not yet been fully evaluated in cattle.
1528 21074276 Many of these factors, namely TGF-beta and Type I interferons block cell cycle progression which is an essential component of Ig class switching and thus these factors require additional regulatory factors such as IL-2 to drive cells through cell cycle resulting in class switch recombination.

1538 22083261 NSs induces a shut-off of host transcription including interferon (IFN)-beta mRNA and promotes degradation of double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR) at the post-translational level.
1539 22083261 IFN-beta is transcriptionally upregulated by interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF-3), NF-kB and activator protein-1 (AP-1), and the binding of IFN-beta to IFN-alpha/beta receptor (IFNAR) stimulates the transcription of IFN-alpha genes or other interferon stimulated genes (ISGs), which induces host antiviral activities, whereas host transcription suppression including IFN-beta gene by NSs prevents the gene upregulations of those ISGs in response to viral replication although IRF-3, NF-kB and activator protein-1 (AP-1) can be activated by RVFV7.
1540 22790963 In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of the combination of IFN-α-transduced tumor cell vaccines and programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) blockade, and investigated the mechanisms of the antitumor effects of the combined therapy.
1541 22790963 Immunohistochemical analyses of the therapeutic model showed marked infiltration of CD4(+) cells and CD8(+) cells in the established MC38 tumors of mice treated with both IFN-α and anti-PD-1.
1542 23050463 In all three duck species, there was up-regulation of IFN-alpha, IFN-gamma, IL-6, CCL19, RIG-I, and MHC class I and down-regulation of MHC class II, but variable expression of IL-18 and TLR7.
1543 24296439 Inferring from the known organization of IFN pathways, the reason for the more IFN-a production in the HIGH pigs was likely due to the enhanced expression of IRF-7 in TLR or RIG- I/MDA5 signaling pathways.
1544 24363758 We previously identified a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A24-restricted antigenic peptide, survivin-2B80-88, a member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein family, recognized by CD8+cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL).
1545 24363758 Therefore, we started a new phase I clinical trial of survivin-2B80-88 vaccination with IFN α for MUC patients.

1547 24743339 Transcription factors IRF3 (IFN regulatory factor 3) and IRF7, and the positive feedback loop mediated by IFNAR1 (IFN alpha/beta receptor 1), are required for the induction.
1548 24743339 MVA infection of cDCs triggers phosphorylation of TBK1 (Tank-binding kinase 1) and IRF3, which is abolished in the absence of cGAS and STING.
1549 24743339 Furthermore, intravenous delivery of MVA induces type I IFN in wild-type mice, but not in mice lacking STING or IRF3.
1550 24743339 Treatment of cDCs with inhibitors of endosomal and lysosomal acidification or the lysosomal enzyme Cathepsin B attenuated MVA-induced type I IFN production, indicating that lysosomal enzymatic processing of virions is important for MVA sensing.
1551 24743339 We present evidence that vaccinia virulence factors E3 and N1 inhibit the activation of IRF3 and the induction of IFNB gene in MVA-infected cDCs.
