Depletion of radio-resistant regulatory T cells enhances antitumor immunity during recovery from lymphopenia.
Cytotoxic lymphodepletion therapies augment antitumor immune responses. The generation and therapeutic efficacy of antitumor effector T cells (T(E)s) are enhanced during recovery from lymphopenia. Although the effects of lymphodepletion on naive T cells (T(N)s) and T(E)s have been studied extensively, the influence of lymphodepletion on suppressor cells remains poorly understood. In this study,...
متن کاملT-Cell Depletion in the Colonic Mucosa of Patients With Idiopathic CD4+ Lymphopenia.
Idiopathic CD4(+) lymphopenia (ICL) is a rare syndrome characterized by low peripheral CD4(+) T-cell counts that can lead to serious opportunistic infections. The pathogenesis of ICL remains unclear, and whether effector sites are also lymphopenic is unknown. In this study, rectosigmoid mucosal biopsy specimens from patients with ICL and healthy controls were evaluated. Significant T-cell lymph...
متن کاملA major role for memory CD4 T cells in the control of lymphopenia-induced proliferation of naive CD4 T cells.
In a state of lymphopenia, naive and memory CD4 T cells compete with each other for expansion at the expense of naive T cells. This competition prevents the proliferation as well as the phenotypic and functional conversion of naive T cells to "memory-like" T cells and may consequently prevent immune pathology frequently associated with lymphopenia-induced proliferation of naive cells. However, ...
متن کاملCD25+CD4+ regulatory T cells and memory T cells prevent lymphopenia-induced proliferation of naive T cells in transient states of lymphopenia.
Lymphopenia has been associated with autoimmune pathology and it has been suggested that lymphopenia-induced proliferation of naive T cells may be responsible for the development of immune pathology. In this study we demonstrate that lymphopenia-induced proliferation is restricted to conditions of extreme lymphopenia, because neither naive nor memory T cells transferred into T cell-depleted hos...
متن کاملMemory CD4 T cells enhance primary CD8 T-cell responses.
CD4 T-cell help is required for optimal memory CD8 T-cell responses. We have found that engaging preexisting CD4 Th1, but not Th2, memory cells at the time of CD8 T-cell priming results in increased CD8 effector responses to both bacterial and viral pathogens. The enhanced responses are characterized by increased numbers of cytokine-producing, antigen-specific cells. These findings suggest that...
