113 9103465 Cytokine-in-adjuvant steering of the immune response phenotype to HIV-1 vaccine constructs: granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and TNF-alpha synergize with IL-12 to enhance induction of cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
114 9103465 Here we study the effects of IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-1beta, IL-12, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, and granulocyte-macrophage CSF (GM-CSF) incorporated with peptide in adjuvant on a variety of responses elicited: CTL, T cell proliferation, cytokine production and message, and Ab isotype.
115 9103465 GM-CSF synergized with IL-12 for CTL induction in BALB/c mice concomitant with suppression of Th2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-10.
116 9103465 TNF-alpha also synergized with IL-12, but by a different mechanism, inducing IFN-gamma production in BALB/c mice and thus shifting the response to a Th1 phenotype.
117 9103465 The results presented here suggest that in addition to IL-2, optimum induction of CD8+ CTL in vivo requires a combination of cytokines, including GM-CSF (probably acting to enhance Ag presentation and CD4+ cell help) and IL-12 (steering the Th response toward Th1 cytokines).

134 9158092 In a randomized cohort of HIV-infected patients, there was striking in vitro restriction of the proliferative response to HIV-1 envelope protein (Env), gp160; only 34% of patients recognized Env.
135 9158092 Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from HIV-infected vaccine recipients, placebo recipients, and seronegative volunteers were cultured with exogenous IL-7 or IL-12 and either tetanus toxoid (TT) or gp160.
136 9158092 IL-7 significantly augmented proliferative responses to TT and gp160, whereas IL-12 only affected proliferation to gp160.

147 9302743 The codelivery of vectors encoding IL-2, IL-7, or IL-12 blocked this effect by markedly enhancing gp120-specific interferon gamma production, and suppressing IL-4 and IgG1 responses.
148 9302743 In this case, IFN-gamma production following in vitro stimulation increased by over 1000-fold, while IL-4, IgG1, and IgG2a responses were elevated as well.
149 9302743 Interestingly, cytokine gene codelivery, in the context of the longer resting period, provided no additional stimulation of Th1-like responses such as IFN-gamma and IgG2a production, although there was still some suppression of IL-4 production.
150 9310492 Bulk peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or enriched CD8+ T cells were stimulated for 10 days with autologous ALVAC-infected PBMCs in the presence of different cytokine combinations (interleukin-2 [IL-2], IL-4, IL-7, and IL-12).
151 9310492 The ALVAC activation of CTLp was IL-2 dependent and enhanced by the addition of IL-7, whereas IL-4 and IL-12 failed to augment cytotoxic reactivities elicited by these constructs.
152 9310492 The expansion of enriched CD8+ T cells after activation with vCP300 was higher in patients with CD4 counts greater than 400 cells/microL.

156 9472560 Of the many cytokines available for gene transfer, IL-7 was chosen for these studies because it both stimulates CTL responses and down-regulates tumor production of the immunosuppressive peptide TGF-beta.
157 9529135 Vaccination with murine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)-producing WEHI3 cells resulted in only 20% survival of i.v. challenged mice, and the additional combination of IL-2- and IL-7-producing vaccine did not reveal any additive or synergistic effects.
158 9529135 Taken together, we have identified IL-7 and IL-2 as effective cytokines in our leukemia/vaccination model with only marginal activity by GM-CSF.

161 9667667 Analysis of the autologous tumour cell vaccines regarding IL-7 secretion after gene transfer, HLA class I and class II cell surface expression, secretion of immunosuppressive mediators (TGF-beta1, IL-10) and various melanoma-associated tumour antigens revealed a very diverse expression profile.
162 10228044 Addition of IL-2 or IL-7, but not IL-4 or IL-12, also restored proliferation of acute PBMC stimulated with anti-CD3.
163 10359214 This response was augmented following the pretreatment of KS-CD80 cells with interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor-alpha.
164 10359214 Interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-7, and IL-12 further increased T-cell expansion.
165 10389910 CTLs recognizing the HLA-A2.1-restricted, wild-type sequence p53 epitopes p53(149-157) and p53(264-272) were generated from CD8-enriched populations of nonadherent peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) obtained from healthy donors.
166 10389910 The PBLs were restimulated in vitro with peptide-pulsed granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor- and interleukin (IL)-4-induced autologous dendritic cells in the presence of IL-6 and IL-12 and subsequently cultivated with IL-1alpha, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, and IL-7.
167 10400824 When IL-12 was replaced by other cytokines acting on T cells or antigen-presenting cells, such as IFN-gamma, IL-2, IL-6, IL-7, GM-CSF or MCP-3, no significant enhancing effect was observed.
168 10473111 By using a MHC-binding assay, eight peptides derived from MAGE-2 were found to bind with sufficient affinity to the HLA-A24 molecule.
169 10473111 When the induction of specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) was examined using a simplified method, the highest human lymphocyte antigen (HLA) binder (EYLQLVFGI) in these peptides was able to elicit CTLs from unseparated peripheral blood mononuclear cells in HLA-A24 healthy donors by stimulation with freshly isolated, peptide-pulsed peripheral blood mononuclear cells as antigen-presenting cells and also by using interleukin 7 and keyhole-limpet hemocyanin in a primary culture.
170 10473111 The induced CTL could, thus, lyse HLA-A24 tumor cells expressing MAGE-2, as well as the peptide-pulsed target cells, with antigen specificity in a HLA class I-restricted manner.
171 10496363 Retinoblastoma binding protein 1 (RBP-1) is a 143-kDa nuclear phosphoprotein that promotes cell growth by inhibiting the product of retinoblastoma tumour suppressor gene (pRB).
172 10496363 Peripheral blood lymphocytes from 41 normal donors were stimulated by these peptides in culture media containing 15 IU ml(-1) interleukin-2, 25 IU ml(-1) interleukin-7 and 500 IU ml(-1) granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor.
173 10741724 To explore the possibility that wild-type sequence p53 peptides could also be used in vaccines for patients expressing HLA-A24 antigen, another frequent HLA class I allele, we investigated the induction of HLA-A24-restricted p53-specific CTLs from the peripheral blood lymphocytes of normal donors.
174 10741724 Of six p53-derived peptides possessing an HLA-A24 binding motif, the p53 peptide 125-134 (p53(125-134)) was found to have a high binding capacity and induced peptide-specific CTLs from peripheral blood mononuclear cells, using peptide-pulsed autologous dendritic cells and subsequent cultivation with cytokines interleukin 2 and interleukin 7.
175 10770624 To explore the feasibility of designing vaccination protocols in acute leukemia patients with cytokine gene-transduced leukemic cells, we studied in vitro the growth potential of human leukemic cells transduced with the interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-7, or IL-7 plus IL-2 genes, as well as the capacity of generating both autologous and allogeneic cytotoxic lymphocytes directed against the parental cells.
176 10770624 A lymphoblastic T-cell line, ST4, obtained from a patient in long-lasting complete remission, was retrovirally engineered with the IL-2, IL-7, and IL-7 plus IL-2 genes; in addition, clones releasing different amounts of the cytokines were obtained by limiting dilution.
177 10770624 On the contrary, when IL-7- or IL-7-IL-2-producing cells were used as stimulators, only a delay in leukemic cell overgrowth was observed, and lymphocytes were completely cleared from the cultures after day 60.
178 10770624 IL-7 production by the different clones ranged between 11 and 36 ng/mL/10(6) cells/72 hours, whereas the highest IL-2-producing IL-7-IL-2 clone released 50 IU/mL/10(6) cells/72 hours of IL-2.
179 10770624 Autologous and allogeneic long-term MLTCs (up to 35 days) with ST4/IL-2#A7 as the stimulator were capable of generating cytotoxic effectors equally endowed with both major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-unrestricted and -restricted activity against parental ST4 cells.
180 10770624 By day 18 of both autologous and allogeneic cultures, a substantial proportion of CD56+ cells was consistently recorded; this was coupled to a predominantly MHC-unrestricted cytotoxic activity directed against parental ST4 cells.
181 10770624 The results of this study demonstrate that IL-2 gene-transduced human acute leukemia cells cocultured with both autologous and allogeneic lymphocytes are capable of inducing a strong MHC-unrestricted anti-leukemic activity and subsequently "educating" MHC class I-restricted anti-leukemic effectors.

203 10917199 In two phase I studies, we have immunized advanced melanoma patients with either interleukin-7 (IL-7) gene-transfected or IL-12 gene-transfected, autologous, irradiated melanoma cells.
204 10973449 In an effort to clarify this unusual conflict, we compared IL-7 along with IL-12 (Th1 control) and IL-10 (Th2 control) for its ability to induce antigen (Ag)-specific CTL and Th1- versus Th2-type immune responses using a well established DNA vaccine model.
205 10973449 IL-7 coinjection also decreased production of Th1-type cytokine IL-2, gamma interferon, and the chemokine RANTES but increased production of the Th2-type cytokine IL-10 and the similarly biased chemokine MCP-1.
206 10973449 In herpes simplex virus (HSV) challenge studies, IL-7 coinjection decreased the survival rate after lethal HSV type 2 (HSV-2) challenge compared with gD plasmid vaccine alone in a manner similar to IL-10 coinjection, whereas IL-12 coinjection enhanced the protection, further supporting that IL-7 drives immune responses to the Th2 type, resulting in reduced protection against HSV-2 challenge.

256 11145714 Mutations in the common gamma-chain (gamma(c)) of cytokine receptors, including those for IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, and IL-15, are responsible for an X-linked form of the disease, while mutations of several other genes, including Janus-associated kinase-3, may cause autosomal recessive forms of SCID.
257 11145714 We report here that a homozygous 6-bp deletion in the gene encoding CD45 (PTPRC, gene map locus 1q31-32), which results in a loss of glutamic acid 339 and tyrosine 340 in the first fibronectin type III module of the extracellular domain of CD45, is associated with failure of surface expression of CD45 and SCID.

262 11260324 In order to address this issue a murine melanoma cell line (K1735) was transfected to secrete interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-7 or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF); cytokines currently in use in trials.
263 11260324 Anti-tumour cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) activity was detected in both models but did not correlate well with protection, whilst in vitro anti-tumour interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) secretion tended to be higher following the GM-CSF-secreting vaccine.
264 11522639 Autologous mononuclear cells were cocultured with DCs in the presence of low-dose interleukin (IL)-2 and IL-7 and were restimulated weekly with new DCs.
265 11522639 High levels of IL-12 and IFN-gamma could be detected in the supernatants, indicating a T-helper type 1-type immune response.
266 11916244 Brain tumor-bearing mice were treated with cytokine (IL -4, IL-6, IL-7, GM-CSF, TNF-alpha, LIF, LT) producing vaccines made by in vitro transduction of GI261 cells with the corresponding adenoviral vectors.
267 11916244 Vaccines producing either IL-4 or GM-CSF cured 20-40% of mice.
268 11916244 Brain tumors were heavily infiltrated by CD4+ lymphocytes after treatment with IL-4- or GM-CSF-secreting cells.
269 11916244 GM-CSF vaccination induced moderate CD8+ infiltration, as well.
270 11916244 Depleting either CD4+ or CD8+ lymphocyte subsets abolished the anticancer effect of GM-CSF-expressing cells.
271 11916244 Strong synergism was observed by combining cytokine vaccination (GM-CSF, IL-4, IL-12) with local tumor irradiation: about 80-100% of the glioma-bearing mice was cured.
272 12108975 In some cases, such as with IL-12, IL-7 and CD40L genes, injection inside experimental malignancies of thus transfected dendritic cells induces complete tumor regression in several models.
273 12937634 Preclinical studies provided the regulatory, mechanistic and functional principles for cytokine gene-modified tumor vaccines and led to a number of phase I/II studies, including trials with IL-7-, IL-12-, GM-CSF- or interferon gamma-secreting tumor cell vaccines or IL-2 gene-transfected cell-based vaccines.
274 12959322 During the course of HIV-1 infection secretion of T-helper type 1 (Th1) cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-2, and antiviral interferon (IFN)-gamma, is generally decreased, whereas production of T helper type 2 (Th2) cytokines, IL-4, IL-10, proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, IL-8) and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, is increased.
275 12959322 HIV-inductive cytokines include: TNF-alpha, TNF-beta, IL-1 and IL-6, which stimulate HIV-1 replication in T cells and monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM), IL-2, IL-7 and IL-15, which upregulate HIV-1 in T cells, and macrophage-colony stimulating factor, which stimulates HIV-1 in MDM.
276 12959322 HIV-suppressive cytokines include: IFN-alpha, IFN-beta and IL-16, which inhibit HIV-1 replication in T cells and MDM, and IL-10 and IL-13, which inhibit HIV-1 in MDM.
277 12959322 Bifunctional cytokines such as IFN-gamma, IL-4 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor have been shown to have both inhibitory and stimulatory effects on HIV-1.
278 12959322 The beta-chemokines, macrophage-inflammatory protein (MIP)-1alpha, MIP-1beta and RANTES are important inhibitors of macrophage-tropic strains of HIV-1, whereas the alpha-chemokine stromal-derived factor-1 suppresses infection of T-tropic strains of HIV-1.
279 14639620 Patients had been treated within 2 clinical trials with autologous tumor cells gene-modified for IL-7 or IL-12.
280 14639620 Besides 2 known cancer-germline genes (SCP-1 and PLU-1), the other isolated antigens were expressed in a non-tumor-specific fashion as analyzed by virtual Northern blot or RT-PCR.
281 14639620 The properties of homologues to several of the identified tumor-antigens, especially PLU-1, SCP-1, DNEL2, CLOCK, and PIASx-alpha, suggest further investigation of their possible function in malignant melanoma.
282 15210831 Elderly individuals had a similar frequency of CD69+CD4+ T cells producing IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha at 1 wk, but a lower frequency of these CD4+ T cells at 3 mo after influenza vaccination.
283 15210831 Although the elderly had a higher frequency of central memory (CM; CCR7+CD45RA-) CD4+ T cells, they had a significantly lower frequency of effector memory (EM; CCR7-CD45RA-) CD4+ T cells, and the frequency of the latter memory CD4+ T cells positively correlated with the frequency of influenza virus-specific CD69+CD4+ T cells producing IFN-gamma at 3 mo.
284 15210831 This failure probably stems from the alteration in the frequency of CM and EM CD4+ T cells in the elderly that is related to alteration in IL-7 levels.
285 15331707 Recombinant interleukin-7 induces proliferation of naive macaque CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in vivo.

305 15505208 These chronically stimulated CD8 T cells were unable to undergo homeostatic proliferation, responded poorly to IL-7 and IL-15, and expressed reduced levels of the IL-7 and IL-15 receptors, thus providing a possible mechanism for the inability of these cells to persist long term in the absence of antigen.
306 15505208 In striking contrast, virus-specific memory CD8 T cells that developed after an acute lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection could persist without antigen, were capable of self-renewal because of homeostatic proliferation, responded efficiently to IL-7 and IL-15, and expressed high levels of receptors for these two cytokines.

309 15553719 We tried to induce CTLs by co culture of effector and stimulator cells in the presence of IL-2, IL-7 and IL-12 for 4 weeks.
310 15688403 We have comparatively evaluated the proliferative response of CTL induced in metastatic melanoma patients upon immunization against Melan-A/MART-1(27-35) tumor associated antigen (TAA) to IL-2, IL-7 or IL-15 cytokines, sharing a receptor common gamma-chain (c gamma-c cytokines).
311 15688403 All clones were able to kill tumor cell lines expressing HLA-A0201 and Melan-A/MART-1, and displayed phenotypic characteristics of effector/memory (CD45RA-/CCR7-) or CD45RA+/CCR7- effector cells in intermediate to late developmental stage (CD28-/CD276+/-) CTL.
312 15688403 Proliferative responses could be elicited or enhanced by IL-2 and IL-15, but not IL-7, in the absence or in the presence of T-cell receptor (TCR) triggering, respectively.
313 15688403 Accordingly, only IL-2 and IL-15 were able to promote the survival of the CTL clones under investigation.
314 15688403 CD8+ cells from one of the patients treated were obtained 6 months after the last vaccine boost and were cultured in the presence of Melan-A/MART-1(27-35) and each of the 3 cytokines under investigation.
315 15688403 Consistent with data from CTL clones, expansion of Melan-A/MART-1(27-35) tetramer positive cells was only observed in the presence of IL-2 or IL-15 but not IL-7.
316 15688403 Instead, when CD8+ cells from the same patient were sampled shortly (14 days) after an additional vaccination only IL-2 was able to promote the expansion of Melan-A/MART-1(27-35) tetramer positive cells.

331 15841203 Adjuvant IL-7 or IL-15 overcomes immunodominance and improves survival of the CD8+ memory cell pool.
332 16113299 As the course of the infection progressed, many activated CD8 T cells down-regulated expression of CD45RB and upregulated expression of the interleukin-7 receptor alpha chain, indicating a transition of these cells to a state of memory.
333 16148095 Selectively impaired CD8+ but not CD4+ T cell cycle arrest during priming as a consequence of dendritic cell interaction with plasmodium-infected red cells.
334 16148095 Moreover, within the naive T cell population, pRBC-treated DC were selectively deficient in priming CD8(+) but not CD4(+) T cells.
335 16148095 The mechanisms underlying the inability of parasite-treated DC to prime CD8(+) T cells were explored. pRBC treatment of DC from wild-type C57BL/6, but not from IL-10 knockout animals, suppressed DC-mediated T cell priming across a Transwell, suggesting active IL-10-dependent suppression.
336 16148095 The proliferation arrest was partially reversible by the addition of IL-2 or IL-7 to responder cultures.
337 16148095 These results suggest that in malaria-endemic areas, priming of CD8(+) T cell responses may be more difficult to induce via vaccination than the priming of CD4(+) T cells.
338 16158275 To address this, weakly immunogenic B16-F10 (H-2b) murine melanoma was transfected to secrete either GM-CSF, IL-4 or IL-7.
339 16158275 Both GM-CSF and IL-7 significantly (P<0.05) increased the levels of protection within syngeneic B6 mice, but had a diminished effect (P>0.05) within C3H allogeneic mice.
340 16158275 To address this, weakly immunogenic B16-F10 (H-2b) murine melanoma was transfected to secrete either GM-CSF, IL-4 or IL-7.

342 16185742 Post-depletion, CD8 cells expanded in the presence of higher levels of neutralizing Ab and CD4 help than post-challenge and had superior maturational characteristics as measured by expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, the IL-7 receptor CD127 and co-production of IFN-gamma and IL-2.
343 16552087 Protective CD8+ T cells induced by malaria sporozoites do not undergo modulation of interleukin-7 receptor expression.
344 16552087 CD8+ T cells induced by Plasmodium yoelii sporozoites develop into protective memory cells without undergoing changes in interleukin-7 receptor alpha (IL-7Ralpha) expression, differing from the development of memory CD8+ T cells against viruses, which is associated with enhanced IL-7Ralpha expression.

347 16614257 HIV-1 infection or treatment of MDM cultures with exogenous HIV-1 Tat(86) protein up-regulates the IL-7 receptor (IL-7R) alpha-chain at the levels of steady-state RNA, protein, and functional IL-7R on the cell surface (as measured by ligand-induced receptor signaling).
348 16614257 This IL-7R up-regulation is associated with increased amounts of HIV-1 virions in the supernatants of infected MDM cultures treated with exogenous IL-7 cytokine.
349 16614257 This results in increased IL-7R signaling in response to the IL-7 cytokine, which ultimately promotes early events in HIV replication, including binding/entry and possibly other steps prior to reverse transcription.

356 16691294 IL-15 induces CD4 effector memory T cell production and tissue emigration in nonhuman primates.
357 16691294 Here, we demonstrate that IL-15 dramatically increases in vivo proliferation of rhesus macaque (RM) CD4+ and CD8+ T EM cells with little effect on the naive or central memory T (T CM) cell subsets, a response pattern that is quite distinct from that of either IL-2 or IL-7.
358 16691294 In RMs with uncontrolled SIV infection and highly activated immune systems, IL-15 did not significantly increase CD4+ T EM cell proliferation, but with virologic control and concomitant reduction in immune activation by ART, IL-15 responsiveness was again observed.
359 16691294 These data suggest that therapeutic use of IL-15 in the setting of ART might facilitate specific restoration of the CD4 + T cell compartment that is the primary target of HIV with less risk of exhausting precursor T cell compartments or generating potentially deleterious regulatory subsets.
360 16790770 Quantitative reverse transcription-PCR revealed reduced interleukin-7 receptor alpha (IL-7Ralpha) and Bcl-x expression and elevated IL-2Ralpha mRNA expression of the CD8alphaalpha(+high) gammadelta T cells.
361 16824124 We have identified a role for CD4+ T cells in the generation of CD8+ T-cell-mediated protection from secondary challenge.
362 16824124 While CD4+ T cells appear to play a role in the programme of CD8 memory, we find that they are also required for the long-term maintenance of CD8+ memory T-cell numbers and function.
363 16824124 This property is independent of CD40-CD40L interactions, and we propose a role for CD4+ T cells in maintaining the ability of CD8+ memory T cells to respond to interleukin-7 (IL-7) and IL-15.
364 16884670 Experimental immunotherapy approaches in clinical development include 1) cytokines such as IL-7 and IL-21, 2) cytokine-antibody fusion proteins or immunocytokines, 3) whole tumor cell vaccines, 4) genetically modified tumor cells, 5) heat shock protein vaccines, 6) peptide vaccines, 7) dendritic cells pulsed with tumor antigens, 8) tumor antigen-naked DNA vectors, 9) recombinant viral vectors (either alone or in a prime boost schedule), 10) adoptive transfer of cloned tumor antigen-specific T cells, 11) Toll-like receptor ligands, 12) antagonistic antibodies to the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4, CD152), and 13) activating antibodies to CD40 and CD137 (41-BB).
365 16934309 Decreased number of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells that express the interleukin-7 receptor in blood and tissues of SIV-infected macaques.
366 16934309 In HIV/SIV infection, IL-7 expression is increased, likely to compensate for T cell loss, suggesting that supraphysiological administration of IL-7 could provide additional benefit.
367 16934309 However, the ability of T cells to respond to IL-7 is dependent on the level of expression of the IL-7 receptor (IL-7R) in T cells in various body compartments.
368 16934309 In here, we investigated the proportion of IL-7R(+) T cells in blood, spleen, gut, and genitourinary tract of healthy and SIV-infected macaques with various degrees of CD4(+) T cell depletion.
369 16934309 We found that the percentage of T cells expressing IL-7R was significantly lower in both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell subsets in SIV-infected macaques than in healthy animals and this decrease directly correlated with the CD4(+) T cell number.
370 16934309 Importantly, the proportion of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells expressing IL-7R in blood paralleled that found in tissues.
371 16934309 IL-7R(+) T cells within the SIV-specific CD8(+) T cells varied and were lowest in most tissues of viremic macaques, likely reflecting continuous antigen stimulation of effector cells.

386 16982855 Cutting edge: IL-7-independent regulation of IL-7 receptor alpha expression and memory CD8 T cell development.
387 16982855 Our results show that in the absence of IL-7, IL-7Ralpha expression was extinguished on the majority of CD8 T cells responding to virus infection, sustained on a subset of effector cells transitioning to memory, and expressed at high levels by memory cells.
388 16982855 Additionally, an IL-7-deficient environment was capable of supporting bcl-2 up-regulation and memory cell development in response to virus infection.
389 16982855 Thus, IL-7Ralpha regulation occurs independently of IL-7 in responding CD8 T cells, indicating that CD8 memory T cell precursors are not selected by IL-7/IL-7Ralpha interactions.

422 17036333 SPAN-XB core promoter sequence is regulated in myeloma cells by specific CpG dinucleotides associated with the MeCP2 protein.
423 17036333 We recently demonstrated that SPAN-Xb expression in myeloma cells is regulated through promoter methylation and could be upregulated by IL-7 and GM-CSF.
424 17036333 In this present study, we set out to investigate the mechanism of SPAN-XB expression and the promoter association with the methyl-CpG binding protein (MeCP2).
425 17036333 Using a panel of truncated promoter constructs, we localize the core sequence of SPAN-XB promoter to the 73 bp at the 3' end of the promoter, a region within the full length promoter that lacks CpG dinucleotides.
426 17036333 Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays revealed a specific association of MeCP2 with the promoter, and MeCP2 binding strongly correlated with repression of SPAN-XB gene.
427 17036333 Reactivation of the SPAN-XB gene by 5-azacytidine treatment resulted in the loss of MeCP2 from this site.
428 17036333 We, therefore, conclude that SPAN-XB core promoter function in myeloma cells is associated with MeCP2 protein binding and regulated by specific CpG dinucleotide sequences.

457 17372991 For CD8(+ )T cells, successful generation of memory cells has been linked to IL-7 receptor alpha (IL-7Ralpha) expression, suggesting a role for IL-7 signaling, which in turn is important for preventing T cell apoptosis.
458 17372991 We thus investigated the kinetics and changes of IL-7Ralpha and anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 expression levels in tetanus toxoid (TT)-specific CD4(+ )T cells at different time points prior and after TT re-immunization of TT-immune individuals.
459 17372991 Prior to re-immunization, most TT-specific CD4(+ )T cells were high IL-2 producers, CD45RA(-)CCR7(+), IL-7Ralpha(high)Bcl-2(high) cells, resembling typical long-lived central memory cells.
460 17372991 Already 5 days, and more importantly at the peak of the response, after TT re-immunization, a substantial fraction of these cells secreted also IFN-gamma, down-regulated CCR7, IL-7Ralpha and Bcl-2 and became Ki67 positive, resembling effector memory cells.
461 17372991 Interestingly, a significant fraction of IL-7Ralpha(high)Bcl-2(high) TT-specific CD4(+ )T cells, i.e. the proposed memory cell precursors, remained stable at any time point upon re-immunization.
462 17378748 IL-7-treated animals showed an increase in the number of blood CD4(+) CD3(+) and CD8(+) CD3(+) T cells after both phases of treatment and a transient increase in the number of naïve (CD62L(+) CD45RA(+)) T cells for both CD4(+) and CD8(+) subsets after only the first treatment.
463 17378748 In addition IL-7-treated animals showed higher numbers of central memory CD8(+) T cells compared to pretreatment levels with numbers greater than in the saline-treated group.

472 17682721 The development and maintenance of memory CD8+ T cell response are closely related to the CD4+ T cells together with interleukin (IL)-4, IL-7, IL-15 and IL-2.
473 17682721 CD4+ T cells also play a triple role in the immune response to malaria parasites; by activating B cells to produce high level of antimalarial antibodies, by enhancing the induction of CD8+ T cell responses, and by inhibiting the development of liver stage parasites.
474 17682721 Although it has been known much about CD8+ T and CD4+ T cell responses, cross-talking mechanisms of these cells, and other factors which contribute to this response during malaria so far, many questions also need to be answered in the future.
475 17682721 In this review article, CD8+ T and CD4+ T cell responses to malaria infection have been discussed in the light of current literature.

551 18246202 Here, we show that during the mouse T cell response to lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, IL-7 enhanced the number of memory CD8(+) T cells when its administration was restricted to the contraction phase of the response.
552 18246202 Likewise, IL-7 administration during the contraction phase of the mouse T cell response to vaccinia virus or a DNA vaccine potentiated antigen-specific CD8(+) memory T cell proliferation and function.
553 18246202 Qualitatively, CD8(+) T cells from IL-7-treated mice exhibited superior recall responses and improved viral control.
554 18246202 IL-7 treatment during the memory phase stimulated a marked increase in the number of memory CD8(+) T cells, but the effects were transient.
555 18246202 IL-7 therapy during contraction of the secondary CD8(+) T cell response also expanded the pool of memory CD8(+) T cells.
556 18246202 Collectively, our studies show differential effects of IL-7 on memory CD8(+) T cell homeostasis and underscore the importance of the timing of IL-7 therapy to effectively improve CD8(+) T cell memory and protective immunity.
557 18246202 These findings may have implications in the clinical use of IL-7 as an immunotherapeutic agent to bolster vaccine-induced CD8(+) T cell memory.
558 18449216 Membrane-anchored C-peptides (for example, maC46) derived from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoprotein gp41 effectively inhibit HIV-1 entry in cell lines and primary human CD4+ cells in vitro.
559 18449216 Depletion of CD8+ T cells from PBMCs enhanced the yield of maC46-transduced CD4+ T cells.
560 18449216 Supplementation with interleukin-2 (IL-2) increased transduction efficiency, whereas IL-7 and/or IL-15 provided no additional benefit.
561 18449216 Phenotypic analysis showed that maC46-transduced and expanded cells were predominantly central memory CD4+ T cells that expressed low levels of CCR5 and slightly elevated levels of CD62L, beta7-integrin and CXCR4.

574 18562053 CD40L expressed from the canarypox vector, ALVAC, can boost immunogenicity of HIV-1 canarypox vaccine in mice and enhance the in vitro expansion of viral specific CD8+ T cell memory responses from HIV-1-infected and HIV-1-uninfected individuals.
575 18562053 CD40 ligand (CD40L), a member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily (TNFSF), is a pivotal costimulatory molecule for immune responses.
576 18562053 Co-immunization of mice with CD40L expressing canarypox and the canarypox vaccine expressing HIV-1 proteins, vCP1452, augmented HIV-1 specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses in terms of frequency, polyfunctionality and interleukin (IL)-7 receptor alpha chain (IL-7Ralpha, CD127) expression.
577 18562053 In addition, CD40L expressed from canarypox virus could significantly augment CD4+ T cell responses against HIV-1 in mice.
578 18562053 CD40L expressed from canarypox virus matured human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDCs) in a tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) independent manner, which underwent less apoptosis, and could expand ex vivo Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-specific CTL responses from healthy human individuals and ex vivo HIV-1-specific CTL responses from HIV-1-infected individuals in the presence or absence of CD4+ T cells.
579 18641982 A prostate cancer vaccine comprising whole cells secreting IL-7, effective against subcutaneous challenge, requires local GM-CSF for intra-prostatic efficacy.

583 18703465 Recently, it has been demonstrated that interaction between dendritic cells (DCs) and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), an IL-7-like cytokine, is essential for evoking T(h)2 responses in allergy.
584 18703465 We demonstrated that BCG redirects TSLP-DCs away from inducing inflammatory T(h)2 cells that produce IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and toward regulatory T(h)1 cells that produce IFN-gamma and IL-10.
585 18703465 We also demonstrated that this functional alteration of TSLP-DCs by BCG depended on both production of IL-12 from DCs and down-regulation of OX40 ligand, a member of the TNF family, on DCs.

602 19219529 Biological activity of dendritic cells generated from cord blood CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors in IL-7- and IL-13-conditioned cultures.
603 19285437 Depletion of IL-7 expression in the liver abrogated several TLR-mediated T cell events, including enhanced CD4+ T cell and CD8+ T cell survival, augmented CD8+ T cell cytotoxic activity, and the development of experimental autoimmune encephalitis, a Th17 cell-mediated autoimmune disease.
604 19383968 IL-7 adjuvant treatment enhances long-term tumor-antigen-specific CD8+ T-cell responses after immunization with recombinant lentivector.
605 19383968 This finding correlates with our observation that, upon recombinant lentivector immunization, a higher fraction of antigen-specific effector CD8+ T cells does not down-regulate the expression of the survival/memory marker interleukin-7 receptor alpha chain (IL-7Ralpha).
606 19383968 Here we show that, surprisingly, higher expression of IL-7Ralpha on recombinant lentivector-induced effector CD8+ T cells does not result in the up-regulation of survival molecules, such as Bcl-2.
607 19383968 We observed an up-regulation of Bcl-2 and a strong expansion of antigen-specific effector CD8+ T cells, and of naive CD8+ T cells.
608 19383968 Strikingly, IL-7 treatment elicited also a significant increase in the number of antigen-specific memory CD8+ T cells in recombinant lentivector-immunized mice, but not in peptide-immunized mice.
609 19383968 Altogether, these data show that IL-7 adjuvant treatment can enhance long-term antigen-specific CD8+ T-cell responses.
610 19383968 However, its efficacy depends on the expression of IL-7Ralpha at the surface of effector CD8+ T cells.

632 19396174 Furthermore, IL-7 modulates the expression of two ubiquitin ligases: Casitas B-lineage lymphoma b (Cbl-b), a negative regulator of T cell activation, is repressed, and SMAD-specific E3 ubiquitin protein ligase-2 (Smurf2) is enhanced, which antagonizes transforming growth factor-beta signaling.
633 19428306 In this review, we discuss the four major gammaC cytokines that have proven activity in or potential for immunotherapy: IL-2, IL-7, IL-15 and IL-21.
634 19445368 Later, blockade of the homeostatic interleukin-7/CD4 loop contributes to rendering this CD4 lymphopenia irreversible.
635 19445368 Also, these "central memory" CD4 T lymphocytes produce large quantities of IL-2, that they use in an autocrine manner, stimulating their self-renewal and ensuring their long-term survival.
636 19540807 We present here progress on the exploitation of thymosuppressive and thymostimulatory pathways using factors such as keratinocyte growth factor, interleukin 7 or sex steroid ablation for therapeutic thymus restoration and peripheral immune reconstitution in adults.
637 19543225 In this Review, we focus on our current understanding of the distinct and overlapping effects of interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-7, IL-9, IL-15 and IL-21, as well as the IL-7-related cytokine thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), on the survival and proliferation of conventional alphabeta T cells, gammadelta T cells and regulatory T cells.
638 19561536 As T cells themselves may serve as effective antigen-presenting cells (T antigen-presenting cells; TAPC) and may be useful in vivo as cellular vaccines, we examined whether CD8(+) T cells genetically modified to produce IL-21 could induce immune responses to tumor associated antigen peptides in healthy human leukocyte antigen-A2(+) donors.
639 19561536 We found that IL-21 modified TAPC enhanced both the proliferation and survival of MART-1 specific CD8(+) T cells, which were enriched by >8-fold over cultures with control nontransgenic TAPC.
640 19561536 MART-1-specific CTL produced interferon-gamma in response to cognate peptide antigen and killed primary tumor cells expressing MART-1 in a major histocompatibility complex restricted manner.
641 19561536 IL-21 modified TAPC similarly enhanced generation of functional CTL against melanoma antigen gp100 and the B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia associated RHAMM antigen.
642 19561536 Antigen-specific CTL generated using IL-21 gene-modified TAPC had a central memory phenotype characterized by CD45RA(-), CD44(high), CD27(high), CD28(high), CD62L(high), and IL-7 receptor-alpha(high), contrasting with the terminal effector phenotype of CTL generated in the absence of IL-21.
643 19579270 Inverse association of repressor growth factor independent-1 with CD8 T cell interleukin (IL)-7 receptor [alpha] expression and limited signal transducers and activators of transcription signaling in response to IL-7 among [gamma]-chain cytokines in HIV patients.
644 19651643 PD1 blockade reverses the suppression of melanoma antigen-specific CTL by CD4+ CD25(Hi) regulatory T cells.
645 19651643 Regulatory CD4(+)CD25(Hi) T cells (Treg) and programmed death-1 (PD-1) molecule have emerged as pivotal players in immune regulation.
646 19651643 We identified Treg in the circulation of vaccinated melanoma patients and detected PD-1 expression on vaccine-induced melanoma antigen-specific CTLs, as well as on and within Treg from patients' peripheral blood.
647 19651643 PD-1 blockade promoted the generation of melanoma antigen-specific CTLs and masked their inhibition by Treg.
648 19651643 The mechanisms by which PD-1 blockade mediated immune enhancement included direct augmentation of melanoma antigen-specific CTL proliferation, heightening their resistance to inhibition by Treg and direct limitation of the inhibitory ability of Treg.
649 19651643 PD-1 blockade reversed the increased expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 on melanoma antigen-specific CTL by Treg, rescued INF-gamma and IL-2 or INF-gamma and tumor necrosis factor-alpha co-expression and expression of IL-7 receptor by melanoma antigen-specific CTL which were diminished by Treg.
650 19950168 Here, we demonstrated that utilizing nonlytic Fc-fused IL-7 (IL-7-Fc(m)) as a genetic adjuvant significantly enhanced not only CD4(+) but also CD8(+) T-cell responses by E7 DNA immunization, in addition to improving protection against TC-1-induced tumors in comparison to IL-7 alone.
651 19950168 Thus, our findings suggest that nonlytic Fc, in contrast to lytic Fc, fusion to cytokines may provide an insight in designing a potent genetic adjuvant for inducing CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cell responses.
652 19950184 IL-7 is superior to IL-2 for ex vivo expansion of tumour-specific CD4(+) T cells.

654 19950184 We report here that CD4(+) T cells sensitized to tumour-associated Ag in vivo, proliferate in vitro in response to IL-7 without the need for exogenous Ag stimulation and accumulate several folds while preserving a memory-like phenotype.
655 19950184 Also IL-2, previously used to expand anti-tumour CTL, promotes tumour-specific CD4(+) T-cell accumulation.

676 20038483 IL-7 protects both B and T lymphocytes, but IL-2, IL-10, keratinocyte growth factor, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, as well as leptin and growth hormone also have a stimulatory effect on thymopoiesis.
677 20104490 T cells activated in vitro displayed functional receptors for IL-2 and IL-7, suggesting these as potential mediators.
678 20182648 The development of IL-7 and IL-21 for the clinic offers the promise of enhancing anti-tumor responses but with far less systemic toxicity and no expansion of regulatory T cells.
679 20182648 CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS: Future work should expand the use of vaccines with IL-7, IL-21 and hopefully IL-15 in high-risk patients, and consider treatment while in a state of minimal residual disease to maximize benefit.

682 20231853 Mice that received immunization with DNA constructs encoding M. bovis antigen 85A (Ag85-A) and arget(ESAT-6) produced measurable interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) responses to CD4(+) T-cell epitope-peptide recall antigens in vitro.
683 20231853 The magnitude of these responses was enhanced by co-delivery of a construct encoding murine cytokines (macrophage inhibitory protein (MIP)-1 alpha or interleukin(IL)-7), although they did not the match responses observed in mice that received Bacille Calmette-Guerin(BCG) immunisation.
684 20231853 In contrast, DNA priming followed by boosting with modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) vaccine (expressing M. tuberculosis Ag85-A) invoked higher IFN-gamma levels, with the most immunogenic regime of Ag85 or ESAT or IL-7 prime followed by MVA boost being of commensurate immunogenicity to BCG.

688 20483237 In fish, prior to pufferfish (Fugu rubripes and Tetraodon nigroviridis) and zebrafish (Danio rerio) genome sequencing, only a handful of cytokines like IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, TGFbeta, some CXC (including IL-8) and CC chemokine genes were identified.
689 20483237 Pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF's, IL-6 and IL-17 family have been cloned.

691 20483237 Among IL-10 and its family members, IL-10, IL-19/20, IL-22 and IL-26 have been discovered.
692 20483237 However, T(H)2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13), IL-3, IL-7 and IL-9 are yet to be discovered from fish.
693 20693852 IL-7, IL-15, and IL-21 each possess properties that can be exploited in the context of immunotherapy for cancer.
694 20693852 Although the overlap among the agents is significant, IL-7 is uniquely immunorestorative and preferentially augments reactivity of naive populations, IL-15 potently augments reactivity of CD8 memory cells and natural killer cells, and IL-21 preferentially expands the inflammatory Th17 subset and may limit terminal differentiation of effector CD8 cells.

702 20980630 We characterized CD4(+)CD45RO(+) T cells based on expression of two of these receptors, CCR5 and CCR2, the principal subsets being CCR5(-)CCR2(-) (∼70%), CCR5(+)CCR2(-) (∼25%), and CCR5(+)CCR2(+) (∼5%).
703 20980630 Relationships among expression of CCR5 and CCR2 and CD62L, and the subsets' proliferation histories, suggested a pathway of progressive effector/memory differentiation from the CCR5(-)CCR2(-) to CCR5(+)CCR2(-) to CCR5(+)CCR2(+) cells.
704 20980630 The subsets also showed increasing responsiveness to IL-7, and the CCR5(+)CCR2(+) cells were CD127(bright) and invariably showed the greatest response to tetanus toxoid.

715 21165574 Identification of HLA-A*0201/-A*2402-restricted CTL epitope-peptides derived from a novel cancer/testis antigen, MCAK, and induction of a specific antitumor immune response.
716 21165574 To evaluate the feasibility of developing cancer immunotherapy using MCAK peptides, we studied HLA-A*0201 and *2402 as targets for CTLs in the context of HLA class I molecules.
717 21165574 By using a peptide with a sequence of AINPELLQL (amino acid positions 63-71 in MCAK, HLA-A*0201) and FFEIYNGKL (amino acid positions 401-409 in MCAK, HLA-A*2402), CTL responses could be induced from unseparated PBMCs by stimulation of freshly isolated, peptide-pulsed PBMCs as antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and also by using interleukin-7 and keyhole limpet hemocyanin in primary culture.
718 21165574 The induced CTLs could lyse HLA-A-*0201/*2402 colon and gastric cancer cells expressing MCAK, as well as the peptide-pulsed target cells, in an HLA class l, and CD8 restricted manner.
719 21165574 The identification of the MCAK/HLA-A*0201 and *2402 peptides suggests the possibility of designing peptide-based immunotherapeutic approaches that might prove effective in treating patients with MCAK-positive cancer.
720 21283805 Co-administration of IL-1+IL-6+TNF-α with Mycobacterium tuberculosis infected macrophages vaccine induces better protective T cell memory than BCG.
721 21283805 Hence, in the present study we employed T cell memory augmenting cytokines IL-1+IL-6+TNF-α and IL-7+IL-15 for the induction of the enhancement of long-term protection by the vaccine.
722 21283805 We co-administered the M. tb infected macrophages vaccine with IL-1+IL-6+TNF-α (IM-1.6.α) and IL-7+IL-15 (IM-7.15).
723 21283805 IM-1.6.α but not IM-7.15 significantly improved memory T cell response against M. tb, as evidenced by recall responses of memory T cells, expansion of both central as well as effector memory CD4 and CD8 T cell pools, elicitation of mainly Th1 memory response, reduction in the mycobacterial load and alleviated lung pathology.

728 21346231 KLRG1+NKG2A+ CD8 T cells mediate protection and participate in memory responses during γ-herpesvirus infection.
729 21346231 During γHV68 persistence, ∼75% of γHV68-specific CD8 T cells coexpress the NK receptors killer cell lectin-like receptor G1 (KLRG1) and NKG2A.
730 21346231 In this study, we take advantage of this unique phenotype to analyze the capacity of CD8 T cells expressing or not expressing KLRG1 and NKG2A to mediate effector and memory responses.
731 21346231 Our results show that γHV68-specific KLRG1(+)NKG2A(+) CD8 T cells have an effector memory phenotype as well as characteristics of polyfunctional effector cells such us IFN-γ and TNF-α production, killing capacity, and are more efficient at protecting against a γHV68 challenge than their NKG2A(-)KLRG1(-) counterparts.
732 21346231 Nevertheless, γHV68-specific NKG2A(+)KLRG1(+) CD8 T cells express IL-7 and IL-15 receptors, can survive long-term without cognate Ag, and subsequently mount a protective response during antigenic recall.
733 21346231 These results highlight the plasticity of the immune system to generate protective effector and proliferative memory responses during virus persistence from a pool of KLRG1(+)NKG2A(+) effector memory CD8 T cells.
734 21374321 It now appears that various types of immunomodulatory molecules such as cytokines (IL-1 [1], IL-2 [2], IL-12 [3], IFN-γ [4], IL-7 [5-7], and GM-CSF [8,9]), chemokines (TCA-3 [10], RANTES [11], MIP-1 [11]), and costimulatory molecules (CD40L [12], B7-1 [13] and B7-2 [14]) could enhance or modify the specific immune responses elicited by DNA immunization (see Table 1).

737 21469087 CD38 identifies a hypo-proliferative IL-13-secreting CD4+ T-cell subset that does not fit into existing naive and memory phenotype paradigms.
738 21469087 Herein, we show that CD38 expression identifies a hypo-proliferative CD4(+) T-cell subset that, following TCR stimulation, retains expression of naive cell surface markers including CD45RA, CD62L and CCR7.
739 21469087 Hypo-proliferation was mediated by reduced CD25 up-regulation upon TCR stimulation compared to CD4(+) CD38(-) cells and lack of responsiveness to exogenous IL-2.
740 21469087 Instead, CD4(+) CD38(+) T cells expressed CD127, and hypo-proliferation was reversed by addition of IL-7, further associated with increased STAT5 phosphorylation.
741 21469087 Activated CD4(+) CD38(+) cells had a bias towards IL-13 secretion, but not other Th2 cytokines such as IL-4 or IL-5.
742 21469087 In comparison, the CD4(+) CD38(-) cells had a clear bias towards secretion of Th1-associated cytokines IFN-γ and TNF.
743 21469087 The existence of such CD4(+) CD38(+) T cells may play an important role in pathologies such as asthma, which are associated with IL-13, but not IL-4 and IL-5.
744 21469087 Coupled with responsiveness to IL-7 but not IL-2, and the involvement of CD38 ligation, our results highlight a unique T-cell subpopulation that does not fit into existing naive and memory cell paradigms.

757 21625608 Infection of MDDC with MVA-B or MVA, at the optimal dose of 0.3 PFU/MDDC, induced by itself a moderate degree of maturation of MDDC, involving secretion of cytokines and chemokines (IL1-ra, IL-7, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-12, IL-15, IL-8, MCP-1, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, RANTES, IP-10, MIG, and IFN-α).
758 21625608 MDDC infected with MVA or MVA-B and following a period of 48 h or 72 h of maturation were able to migrate toward CCL19 or CCL21 chemokine gradients.
759 21625608 MVA-B-infected MDDC co-cultured with autologous T lymphocytes induced a highly functional HIV-specific CD8(+) T cell response including proliferation, secretion of IFN-γ, IL-2, TNF-α, MIP-1β, MIP-1α, RANTES and IL-6, and strong cytotoxic activity against autologous HIV-1-infected CD4(+) T lymphocytes.

803 22306900 The RM-9/mIL-7 vaccination effect was studied by CD3, CD4, CD8, or NK1.1 depletion experiments in C57bl/6 mice.
804 22306900 Depletion of nonvaccinated mice showed a reduction of CD3, CD4, CD8, and NK1.1 cells with 97%, 56%, 99%, and 88%, respectively.
805 22306900 RM-9/mIL-7-vaccinated mice, depleted for CD3, CD4, CD8, or NK1.1, all showed shortened host survival times with regard to the nondepleted vaccinated mice group.
806 22379028 Furthermore, a short course of high-dose rapamycin treatment generated CD8(+) T cell memory responses that were independent of IL-15 and IL-7 and were programmed early for sustenance and greater tumor efficacy.
807 22396020 Significantly elevated levels of CD3⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells as well as cells expressing interleukin (IL)-7, perforin and granulysin were found in TB lung lesions and spleen from rBCG/rAd35-vaccinated animals compared with BCG/rAd35-vaccinated or unvaccinated animals.
808 22396020 Our observations suggest that a protective immune response in rBCG/rAd35-vaccinated nonhuman primates was associated with enhanced MHC class I antigen presentation and activation of CD8⁺ effector T-cell responses at the local site of infection in Mtb-challenged animals.

821 23603862 Chemical castration of melanoma patients does not increase the frequency of tumor-specific CD4 and CD8 T cells after peptide vaccination.
822 23603862 Serum concentration of 2 important factors for thymopoiesis was measured: insulin growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels were not changed, whereas a moderate increase in IL-7 levels was noted in the sera of all patients 6 weeks after vaccination.
823 23624092 Intracellular cytokine staining revealed that the protection levels induced by combination therapy with IL-7-nFc and F-Mtb32 DNA was associated with enhanced Mtb32-specific IFN-γ secreting CD4(+) T cell responses and CD8(+) T cell responses stimulated with CTL epitope peptide in the lungs and spleens.
824 23772631 First, IBTs were proposed either to help restore CD4(+) T-cell counts in cases of therapeutic failures with cytokines, interleukin-2 (IL-2) or IL-7, or to better control HIV and disease progression during treatment interruptions with anti-HIV therapeutic candidate vaccines.
825 24027334 Reduced contraction was associated with an increased fraction of CD8 T cells expressing the interleukin-7 receptor (IL-7R) at the peak of the response, resulting in enhanced numbers of memory/memory precursor cells in IFN-γ(-/-) and IFN-γR(-/-) compared to wild-type (WT) mice.
826 24027334 Blockade of IL-7 within the lungs of IFN-γ(-/-) mice restored the contraction of influenza virus-specific CD8 T cells, indicating that IL-7R is important for survival and is not simply a consequence of the lack of IFN-γ signaling.

829 24054944 Although ovariectomy increased thymic output in both 2- and 11-month-old rats, the count of both CD4+ and CD8+ PBLs and splenocytes increased only in the former.
830 24054944 Although ovariectomy affected the total CD4+ count in none of the examined compartments from the 11-month-old rats, it increased CD4+FoxP3+ PBL and splenocyte relative proportions over those in the age-matched controls.
831 24054944 The homeostatic changes within CD8+ splenocyte pool from 11-month-old Ox rats, most likely, reflected the enhanced splenic IL-7 and TGF-β mRNA expression.

847 24242760 The effects of IL-21 are pleiotropic, owing to the broad cellular distribution of the IL-21 receptor.
848 24242760 IL-21 is secreted by activated CD4 T cells and natural killer T cells.
849 24242760 Our research focus has been on the role of IL-21 and more recently of Tfh in immunopathogenesis of HIV infection.
850 24242760 This review focuses on first the influence of IL-21 in regulation of T cell, B cell, and NK cell responses and its immunotherapeutic potential in viral infections and as a vaccine adjuvant.

852 24349306 Mice co-immunized with adenoviral vectors encoding IL5 or IL23 showed increased neutralizing antibody responses while mice co-immunized with Ad.IL6 or Ad.IL23 showed improved FV-specific CD4(+) T cell responses compared to mice immunized with Ad.pIXgp70 alone.
853 24493438 Several observations are remarkable: the high efficacy of local cytokines to induce an antitumor response in the absence of systemic toxicity; a surprisingly large number of cytokines possess antitumor activity in this assay (IL-1, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-7, TNF, LT, IFN-γ, MCAF, G-CSF, GM-CSF, IP-10); and in several models, cytokine-producing tumors were heavily infiltrated by T-lymphocytes that contributed to tumor destruction (for review see ref. 1).
854 24493438 Currently, three cytokine gene therapy variations with IL-2, IL-4, TNF, IFN-γ, or GM-CSF genes are tested: transfected autologous tumor cells; transfected allogeneic tumor cells; and transfected autologous fibroblasts mixed with tumor cells as vaccine.
855 24535711 In this study, we characterized a population of human differentiated effector CD4(+) T cells that is defined by low levels of the interleukin (IL)-2 and IL-7 receptors (CD25(-)CD127(-)).
856 24535711 Notably, these CD25(-)CD127(-)CD4 T cells expressed effector markers such as CD244 and CD11b with low levels of CD27, contrasting with the memory phenotype dominating this population in healthy individuals.
857 24535711 These cells did not cycle in patients, nor did they secrete IL-10 or IL-17, but instead displayed cytotoxic features.
858 24535711 During neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer, we found that the increase in CD25(-)CD127(-) CD4(+) T cells correlated with tumor regression.
859 24619679 The effective induction of TAA-specific T cell immune responses requires activation of T cells by CD3/CD28 antibodies and the presence of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-7 (IL-7) and interleukin-12 (IL-12).

903 25214510 Here, we demonstrate in 2 patients that treatment with interleukin 7, JC polyomavirus (JCV) capsid protein VP1, and a Toll-like receptor 7 agonist used as adjuvant, was well tolerated, and showed a very favorable safety profile and unexpected efficacy that warrant further investigation.
904 25242680 To further elucidate why an allogeneic gene-modified [interleukin-7 (IL-7)/CD80-cotransfected] renal cell cancer (RCC) vaccine failed to induce clinically relevant TH-1-polarized immune responses, peripheral blood mononuclear cells from enrolled study patients were analyzed by gene expression profiling (GEP) both prior and after vaccination.
905 25254971 We found no activation or even reduction in base-line expression for multiple molecules (IL-7, IL-4, IL-13, GATA3, ROR-γt, and CXCL12) at 2, 6 and 10 days post-infection.
906 25254971 This selective impairment in type 2-related immune responses correlated with a significant activation of the genes for IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, IFN-γ, as well as CXCR3- and CXCR1-related chemokines in inflamed tissues.
907 25254971 The elevated angiopoietin (Ang)-2 expression and Ang-2/Ang-1 ratios suggested excessive inflammation and the loss of endothelial integrity.
908 25514671 The five most significant cytokines in decreasing order of importance were IL-7, IL-4, TNF-α, IL-13, and IL-17F.
909 25632844 The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) previously approved the therapeutic vaccine, sipuleucel-T, which is composed of autologous antigen-presenting cells cultured with a fusion protein [prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GMCSF)].
910 25632844 Using a super gene expression (SGE) system that we previously established to amplify the production of a recombinant protein, significant amounts of PAP-fused cytokines [human GMCSF, interleukin-2 (IL2), IL4, IL7 and mouse GMCSF and IL4] were obtained.
911 25632844 We also investigated the in vivo therapeutic effects of multiple PAP-fused cytokines in a mouse prostate cancer model bearing prostate-specific antigen (PSA)- and PAP-expressing tumors.
912 25632844 The simultaneous intraperitoneal administration of PAP-GMCSF, -IL2, -IL4 and -IL7 significantly prevented tumor induction and inhibited the tumor growth in the PAP-expressing tumors, yet not in the PSA-expressing tumors.
913 25716018 The former could be related to the rise in splenic IL-7 and IL-15 mRNA expression.

954 26148331 We observed that at d 3-4 post vaccination, 6 genes were down-regulated, namely APC, CD3G, FASLG, IL7, CD8A and TLR1.
955 26148331 Meanwhile at 6-7 days post vaccination, 9 genes were significantly up-regulated, including RIPK2, TGFB1, MICB, SOCS1, IL2RA, MS4A1, PTPRC, IL2 and IL8.
956 26148331 By days 12-15 the genes RIPK2, IL4, IL12B and TLR2 were overexpressed.
957 26362266 HIV-specific CD8(+) T cells secreted little interferon-γ, underwent rapid apoptosis, and failed to upregulate the interleukin-7 receptor, known to be important for T cell survival.
958 26416281 Our results indicate that treatment of both adult (8-15 y) and old (>20 y) RM with recombinant simian IL-7 (rsIL-7) results in only transient increases in peripheral CD4(+) and CD8(+) TN numbers with no long-term benefit, even with repeated therapy.
959 26416281 However, rsIL-7 therapy had a more promising effect on the central memory T cell (TCM) population (both CD4(+) and CD8(+)) in adult and old RM, doubling the numbers of these cells in circulation and maintaining this larger population long term.
960 26416281 Thus, although rsIL-7 failed to counter age-associated TN loss, the ability of this therapy to expand clonotypically diverse CD4(+) and CD8(+) TCM populations might potentially improve adaptive immune responsiveness in the elderly.
