Regulatory T cell vaccination without autoantigen protects against experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.

چکیده
Regulatory T (T(reg)) cells show promise for treating autoimmune diseases, but their induction to elevated potency has been problematic when the most optimally derived cells are from diseased animals. To circumvent reliance on autoantigen-reactive T(reg) cells, stimulation to myelin-independent Ags may offer a viable alternative while maintaining potency to treat experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). The experimental Salmonella vaccine expressing colonization factor Ag I possesses anti-inflammatory properties and, when applied therapeutically, reduces further development of EAE in SJL mice. To ascertain T(reg) cell dependency, a kinetic analysis was performed showing increased levels of FoxP3(+)CD25(+)CD4(+) T cells. Inactivation of these T(reg) cells resulted in loss of protection. Adoptive transfer of the vaccine-induced T(reg) cells protected mice against EAE with greater potency than naive or Salmonella vector-induced T(reg) cells, and cytokine analysis revealed enhanced production of TGF-beta, not IL-10. The development of these T(reg) cells in conjunction with immune deviation by Th2 cells optimally induced protective T(reg) cells when compared those induced in the absence of Th2 cells. These data show that T(reg) cells can be induced to high potency to non-disease-inducing Ags using a bacterial vaccine.

Impaired Autoimmune T Helper 17 Cell Responses Following DNA Vaccination against Rat Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis
BACKGROUND We have previously shown that vaccination with DNA encoding the encephalitogenic peptide myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)(91-108) (pMOG) suppresses MOG(91-108)-induced rat Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE), a model for human Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The suppressive effect of pMOG is dependent on inclusion of CpG DNA in the plasmid backbone and is associated wit...

T cell vaccination (TCV) is a method to induce resistance to autoimmune diseases by priming the immune system with autoreactive T cells. This priming evokes an anti-idiotypic regulatory T cell response to the receptors on the autoreactive T cells. Hence resistance is induced. To prevent the inoculated autoreactive cells from inducing autoimmunity, cells are given in a subpathogenic dose or in a...

Antigenized antibodies expressing Vβ8.2 TCR peptides immunize against rat experimental allergic encephalomyelitis
BACKGROUND: Immunity against the T cell receptor (TCR) is considered to play a central role in the regulation of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), a model system of autoimmune disease characterized by a restricted usage of TCR genes. Methods of specific vaccination against the TCR of pathogenetic T cells have included attenuated T cells and synthetic peptides from the sequence of t...
