The CCR5 and CXCR4 coreceptors are both used by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 primary isolates from subtype C.
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) subtype C viruses with different coreceptor usage profiles were isolated from 29 South African patients with advanced AIDS. All 24 R5 isolates were inhibited by the CCR5-specific agents,PRO 140 and RANTES,while the two X4 viruses and the three R5X4 viruses were sensitive to the CXCR4-specific inhibitor,AMD3100. The five X4 or R5X4 viruses were all able to replicate in peripheral blood mononuclear cells that did not express CCR5. When tested using coreceptor-transfected cell lines,one R5 virus was also able to use CXCR6,and another R5X4 virus could use CCR3,BOB/GPR15,and CXCR6. The R5X4 and X4 viruses contained more-diverse V3 loop sequences,with a higher overall positive charge,than the R5 viruses. Hence,some HIV-1 subtype C viruses are able to use CCR5,CXCR4,or both CXCR4 and CCR5 for entry,and they are sensitive to specific inhibitors of entry via these coreceptors. These observations are relevant to understanding the rapid spread of HIV-1 subtype C in the developing world and to the design of intervention and treatment strategies.

cDNA microarray analysis reveals fundamental differences in the expression profiles of primary human monocytes, monocyte-derived macrophages, and alveolar macrophages.
We report the systematic use of large-scale cDNA microarrays to study the gene expression profiles of primary human peripheral blood monocytes (MONO) in comparison with in vitro-differentiated,M-CSF-induced MONO-derived macrophages (MAC) and primary human alveolar MAC (AM),obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage from the lungs of normal volunteers. These studies revealed large-scale differences in the gene expression profile between both MAC types (MAC and AM) and MONO. In addition,large differences were observed in the gene expression profiles of the two MAC types. Specifically,21% of genes on the array (2904 out of 13,582) were differentially expressed between AM and MONO,and 2229 out of 13,583 probes were differentially expressed between MAC and AM. Our expression data show remarkable differences in gene expression between different MAC subpopulations and emphasize the heterogeneity of different MAC populations. This study underscores the need to scrutinize models of MAC biology for relevance to specific disease processes.

Skin Metabolites Define a New Paradigm in the Localization of Skin Tropic Memory T Cells
The localization of memory T cells to human skin is essential for long-term immune surveillance and the maintenance of barrier integrity. The expression of CCR8 during naive T cell activation is controlled by skin-specific factors derived from epidermal keratinocytes and not by resident dendritic cells. In this study,we show that the CCR8-inducing factors are heat stable and protease resistant and include the vitamin D3 metabolite 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and PGE2. The effect of either metabolite alone on CCR8 expression was weak,whereas their combination resulted in robust CCR8 expression. Elevation of intracellular cAMP was essential because PGE2 could be substituted with the adenylyl cyclase agonist forskolin,and CCR8 expression was sensitive to protein kinase A inhibition. For effective induction,exposure of naive T cells to these epidermal factors needed to occur either prior to or during T cell activation even though CCR8 was only detected 4-5 d later in proliferating T cells. The importance of tissue environments in maintaining cellular immune surveillance networks within distinct healthy tissues provides a paradigm shift in adaptive immunity. Epidermal-derived vitamin D3 metabolites and PGs provide an essential cue for the localization of CCR8(+) immune surveillance T cells within healthy human skin.

Opposing Development of Cytotoxic and Follicular Helper CD4 T Cells Controlled by the TCF-1-Bcl6 Nexus.
CD4(+) T cells develop distinct and often contrasting helper,regulatory,or cytotoxic activities. Typically a property of CD8(+) T cells,granzyme-mediated cytotoxic T cell (CTL) potential is also exerted by CD4(+) T cells. However,the conditions that induce CD4(+) CTLs are not entirely understood. Using single-cell transcriptional profiling,we uncover a unique signature of Granzyme B (GzmB)(+) CD4(+) CTLs,which distinguishes them from other CD4(+) T helper (Th) cells,including Th1 cells,and strongly contrasts with the follicular helper T (Tfh) cell signature. The balance between CD4(+) CTL and Tfh differentiation heavily depends on the class of infecting virus and is jointly regulated by the Tfh-related transcription factors Bcl6 and Tcf7 (encoding TCF-1) and by the expression of the inhibitory receptors PD-1 and LAG3. This unique profile of CD4(+) CTLs offers targets for their study,and its antagonism by the Tfh program separates CD4(+) T cells with either helper or killer functions.

Efficient in vivo priming of specific cytotoxic T cell responses by neonatal dendritic cells.
In early life,a high susceptibility to infectious diseases as well as a poor capacity to respond to vaccines are generally observed as compared with observations in adults. The mechanisms underlying immune immaturity have not been fully elucidated and could be due to the immaturity of the T/B cell responses and/or to a defect in the nature and quality of Ag presentation by the APC. This prompted us to phenotypically and functionally characterize early life murine dendritic cells (DC) purified from spleens of 7-day-old mice. We showed that neonatal CD11c(+) DC express levels of costimulatory molecules and MHC molecules similar to those of adult DC and are able to fully maturate after LPS activation. Furthermore,we demonstrated that neonatal DC can efficiently take up,process,and present Ag to T cells in vitro and induce specific CTL responses in vivo. Although a reduced number of these cells was observed in the spleen of neonatal mice as compared with adults,this study clearly shows that neonatal DC have full functional capacity and may well prime Ag-specific naive T cells in vivo.

Differential kinetics and specificity of EBV-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells during primary infection.
The generation and maintenance of virus-specific CD4(+) T cells in humans are not well understood. We used short in vitro stimulation assays followed by intracellular cytokine staining to characterize the timing,magnitude,and Ag specificity of CD4(+) T cells over the course of primary EBV infection. Lytic and latent protein-specific CD4(+) T cells were readily detected at presentation with acute infectious mononucleosis and declined rapidly thereafter. Responses to BZLF-1,BMLF-1,and Epstein-Barr nuclear Ag-3A were more commonly detected than responses to Epstein-Barr nuclear Ag-1. Concurrent analyses of BZLF-1-specific CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells revealed differences in the expansion,specificity,and stability of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell-mediated responses over time. Peripheral blood EBV load directly correlated with the frequency of EBV-specific CD4(+) T cell responses at presentation and over time,suggesting that EBV-specific CD4(+) T cell responses are Ag-driven.

BiHC, a T-Cell-Engaging Bispecific Recombinant Antibody, Has Potent Cytotoxic Activity Against Her2 Tumor Cells.
Among different cancer immunotherapy approaches,bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) are of great interest due to their ability to recruit immune cells to kill tumor cells directly. Various BsAbs against Her2 tumor cells have been proposed with potent cytotoxic activities. However,most of these formats require extensive processing to obtain heterodimeric bispecific antibodies. In this study,we describe a bispecific antibody,BiHC (bispecific Her2-CD3 antibody),constructed with a single-domain anti-Her2 and a single-chain Fv (variable fragment) of anti-CD3 in an IgG-like format. In contrast to most IgG-like BsAbs,the two arms in BiHC have different molecular weights,making it easier to separate hetero- or homodimers. BiHC can be expressed in Escherichia coli and purified via Protein A affinity chromatography. The purified BiHC can recruit T cells and induce specific cytotoxicity of Her2-expressing tumor cells in vitro. The BiHC can also efficiently inhibit the tumor growth in vivo. Thus,BiHC is a promising candidate for the treatment of Her2-positive cancers.

Purification of splenic dendritic cells induces maturation and capacity to stimulate Th1 response in vivo.
Dendritic cell (DC) maturation state is a key parameter for the issue of DC-T cell cognate interaction,which determines the outcome of T cell activation. Indeed,immature DCs induce tolerance while fully mature DCs generate immunity. Here we show that,in the absence of any deliberate activation signal,DCs freshly isolated from mouse spleen spontaneously produce IL-12 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha and up-regulate co-stimulation molecules,even when directly re-injected into their natural environment. Furthermore,after their isolation,these cells acquire the capacity to induce specific T(h)1 responses in vivo. These results demonstrate that the sole isolation of spleen DCs leads to the full maturation of these cells,which therefore cannot be considered as immature DCs. Moreover,we also show that the kinetics of DC activation do not influence the polarization of T(h) response in vivo challenging the idea that exhausted DCs induce preferentially T(h)2 response. Altogether,these observations should be taken into account in all experiments based on the transfer of ex vivo purified DCs.

IgM antibodies to apoptosis-associated determinants recruit C1q and enhance dendritic cell phagocytosis of apoptotic cells.
Natural Abs,which arise without known immune exposure,have been described that specifically recognize cells dying from apoptosis,but their role in innate immunity remains poorly understood. Herein,we show that the immune response to neoantigenic determinants on apoptotic thymocytes is dominated by Abs to oxidation-associated Ags,phosphorylcholine (PC),a head group that becomes exposed during programmed cell death,and malondialdehyde (MDA),a reactive aldehyde degradation product of polyunsaturated lipids produced following exposure to reactive oxidation species. While natural Abs to apoptotic cells in naive adult mice were dominated by PC and MDA specificities,the amounts of these Abs were substantially boosted by treatment of mice with apoptotic cells. Moreover,the relative amounts of PC and MDA Abs was affected by V(H) gene inheritance. Ab interactions with apoptotic cells also mediated the recruitment of C1q,which enhanced apoptotic cell phagocytosis by immature dendritic cells. Significantly,IgM Abs to both PC and MDA were primary factors in determining the efficiency of serum-dependent apoptotic cell phagocytosis. Hence,we demonstrate a mechanism by which certain natural Abs that recognize neoantigens on apoptotic cells,in naive mice and those induced by immune exposure to apoptotic cells,can enhance the functional capabilities of immature dendritic cells for phagocytic engulfment of apoptotic cells.

Tethering IL2 to Its Receptor IL2Rβ Enhances Antitumor Activity and Expansion of Natural Killer NK92 Cells.
IL2 is an immunostimulatory cytokine for key immune cells including T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. Systemic IL2 supplementation could enhance NK-mediated immunity in a variety of diseases ranging from neoplasms to viral infection. However,its systemic use is restricted by its serious side effects and limited efficacy due to activation of T regulatory cells (Tregs). IL2 signaling is mediated through interactions with a multi-subunit receptor complex containing IL2Rα,IL2Rβ,and IL2Rγ. Adult natural killer (NK) cells express only IL2Rβ and IL2Rγ subunits and are therefore relatively insensitive to IL2. To overcome these limitations,we created a novel chimeric IL2-IL2Rβ fusion protein of IL2 and its receptor IL2Rβ joined via a peptide linker (CIRB). NK92 cells expressing CIRB (NK92CIRB) were highly activated and expanded indefinitely without exogenous IL2. When compared with an IL2-secreting NK92 cell line,NK92CIRB were more activated,cytotoxic,and resistant to growth inhibition. Direct contact with cancer cells enhanced the cytotoxic character of NK92CIRB cells,which displayed superior in vivo antitumor effects in mice. Overall,our results showed how tethering IL2 to its receptor IL2Rβ eliminates the need for IL2Rα and IL2Rβ,offering a new tool to selectively activate and empower immune therapy.
