M-450 Epoxy beads coated with H-2Kb:Ig-TRP2(181111K and anti-CD28 antibody were used as artificial antigen-presenting cells(aAPCs) lo induce melanoma-specific CD8*CD28’ CTL responses with the help of IL-2I and IL-I5.Dimer staining,proliferation,ELISPOT,and cytotoxicity experiments were conducted to evaluate the frequency and activity of induced CTLs.Results:Dimer staining demonstrated that the new artificial antigen-presenting system efficiently induced melanoma TRP2-specific CD8CD28' CTLs.Proliferation and ELISPOT assays indicated that the induced CTLs rapidly proliferate and produce increased IFN- y under the slimulalion of H-2K:Ig-TRP2-aAPCs,TL-15,and IL-21.In addition,cytoloxicily experiments showed lhat induced CTLs have specific killing activity of target cells.Conclusions:The new artificial antigen-presenting system including aAPCs plus IL-21 and IL-15 can induce a large number of antigen-specific CD8+CD28+ CTLs against the melanoma.Our study provides evidence for a novel adoptive immunotherapy against tumors.展开更多

BALB/c mice were injected with 2E8 hybridoma cells to obtain 2E8 monoclonal antibody (mAb). NCTD-liposomes were prepared by using film dispersion method. 2E8 mAbs were linked to NCTD-liposomes using post-incorporation technology. Flow cytometry showed that the targeting efficiency of purified 2E8 mAbs on CD19+ Nalm-6 cells was 99.93%. The purified 2E8 mAbs were conjugated with NCTD-liposomes to prepare 2E8-NCTD-liposomes whose targeting efficiency on CD19^+ Nalm-6 was also 95.82%. The average size of 2E8-NCTD-liposomes was 118.32 nm in diameter. HPLC showed that the encapsulation efficiency of NCTD was 46.51%. When the molar ratio of 2E8/Mal-PEG2000-DSPE reached 1:50, we obtained the liposomes with 9 2E8 molecules per liposome. The targeting efficiency of 2E8-NCTD-liposomes on CD19^+ leukemia cells was significantly higher than that on CD19-1eukemia cells. Similarly, the targeting efficiency of the immtmoliposomes was also higher than that of the NCTDAiposomes on CD 19^+ leukemia cells. Those results were consistent with those observed by laser scanning confocal microscopy. 3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay demonstrated that 2E8-NCTD-liposomes specifically killed Nalm-6 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The viability of Nalm-6 cells treated by 2E8-NCTD-liposomes was significantly lower than that of Molt-3 cells and it was also significantly lower than that of Nahn-6 cells treated with the same concentration of NCTD-liposomes or free NCTD. We are led to concluded that 2E8 antigen can serve as a specific targeting molecule of B lineage hematopoietic malignancies for liposome targeting, and 2E8-NCTD-liposomes can be used as a new and effective means for the treatment of B lineage hematopoietic malignancies.展开更多
