Novel alpha interferon (IFN-alpha) variant with improved inhibitory activity against hepatitis C virus genotype 1 replication compared to IFN-alpha2b therapy in a subgenomic replicon system.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment is based on the association of pegylated alpha interferon (IFN-alpha) and ribavirin. To improve the level of sustained virological response to treatment, especially in patients infected with HCV genotype 1, new IFNs with improved efficacy and toxicity profiles may be developed. In this report, we show that, in the BM4-5 cell line harboring an HCV subgenomic rep...
متن کاملP2Y receptor signaling regulates phenotype and IFN-alpha secretion of human plasmacytoid dendritic cells.
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDCs) play powerful regulatory roles in innate and adaptive immune responses and are a major source of type I interferon (IFN) following viral infection. During inflammation and mechanical stress, cells release nucleotides into the extracellular space where they act as signaling molecules via G protein-coupled P2Y receptors. We have previously reported on the regul...
متن کاملInterferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) production by human intestinal mononuclear cells. Response to virus in control subjects and in Crohn's disease.
The virus induced production of interferon alpha by human intestinal lamina propria mononuclear cells was investigated. Intestinal and autologous peripheral cells from control subjects and patients with Crohn's disease were cultured in vitro with and without stimulation with the Newcastle disease virus. Interferon alpha was measured and characterised in the culture supernatants after 12 hours a...
متن کاملIFN-alpha-expressing tumor cells enhance generation and promote survival of tumor-specific CTLs.
IFN-alpha gene therapy has been successfully applied in several tumor models. Our studies involving the murine colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line MC38 confirm that IFN-alpha transduction of a poorly immunogenic tumor cell reduces tumorigenicity and leads to long-lasting tumor immunity. To investigate the effect of IFN-alpha transduction on the development of antitumor immune responses, we rest...
متن کاملReceptor cross-linking on human plasmacytoid dendritic cells leads to the regulation of IFN-alpha production.
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDC) are the natural type I IFN-producing cells that produce large amounts of IFN-alpha in response to viral stimulation. During attempts to isolate PDC from human PBMC, we observed that cross-linking a variety of cell surface receptors, including blood DC Ag (BDCA)-2, BDCA-4, CD4, or CD123 with Abs and immunobeads on PDC leads to inhibition of IFN-alpha production...
