Cutting Edge: IL-12 Induces CD4+CD25− T Cell Activation in the Presence of T Regulatory Cells | The Journal of Immunology - 0 views

  • Whereas IL-12 instigates Th1 immune responses, CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Treg)3 actively restrain them
  • Following engagement of their TCR, Treg suppress the proliferation of conventional CD4+CD25− T responder cells in vitro
  • Furthermore, they inhibit the development of CD4+ T cell responses against alloantigens, tumor, microbial, and self-Ags in vivo.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Treg act to prevent spontaneous autoimmunity and to limit collateral damage to healthy tissues during adaptive immunity. However, these cells also have the potential to sabotage protective antimicrobial responses
  •  
    Great T cell activiation review: Il-2 stimulates NK cells primarily release from TH1 cells and T cytotoxic lymphocytes are under the control of IL-12 released primarily from dendritic cells.  Inflammatory cytokines in the presence of Treg to stimulate CD4+CD25- T cell activation.

Improved leukemia-free survival after postconsolidation immunotherapy with histamine dihydrochloride and interleukin-2 in acute myeloid leukemia: results of a randomized phase 3 trial | Blood Journal - 0 views

  • several independent lines of evidence suggest that cytotoxic effector cells such as T cells and natural killer (NK) cells participate in protecting patients with AML against relapse
  • A plethora of mechanisms have been proposed to account for the dysfunctional antileukemic lymphocytes in AML, including the production of T-cell- and NK-cell-inhibitory factors by AML blasts,48 a deficient expression of NK-cell receptors on leukemic cells,49 inhibition of antileukemic lymphocytes by mononuclear phagocytes,4 and an impaired stimulatory interaction between the CD28 antigen expressed by T cells and contact antigens on AML blasts
  • This trial met the primary endpoint and thus showed a significantly improved LFS for patients receiving HDC/IL-2 as compared with the current standard of care
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • T cells and NK cells with antileukemic activity can be recovered from most patients with AML in remission not receiving a transplant,
  • The present study evaluated an approach to immunotherapy in AML in which IL-2 is supplemented with histamine dihydrochloride (HDC) to enhance the function of cytotoxic antileukemic lymphocytes
  •  
    IL-2 plus histamine in patients with AML complete remission improves leukemia free survival.
