Immunotherapy Ivo Minárik, 2007
Immunotherapy 2 • Suppress immune response • Encourage immune response
Suppressing immune response • immunosuppresivedrugs – e.g. Cyclosporin, tacrolimus, corticosteroids, etc. • Antibodies • Dendritic cells • Regulatory T cells
Antibodies • Anti-lymphocyte globulin – depletionofallogeniclymphocytesbefore organ transplatation • Anti-CD3 – promising in DM1 • Anti-CD4 - disappointing
Antibodies 2 • Anti-TNFαtherapy (infliximab) – rheumatoid arthritis • Receptor for TNFα • Receptor for IL-1 • Antibodies against adhesion molecules (natalizumab) – block migration of lymphocytes to the site of inflammation – Crohn‘s disease, multiple sclerosis
Interference with costimulatory pathways • CTLA4Ig – binds to CD80 and CD86 • Psoriasis • Anti-CD40L – on surfaceof T cells
Immune modulation • Manipulating T regulatorycells (IL-10, TGFβ), immature dendritic cells
Dendritic cells • TLR receptors (Toll-like) – essentialfortheinitiationofimmune response • If no TLR costimulation – Tcellanergy, expansionofregulatory T cells
Allergy • Hyposensitization – repeatedapplicationofgraduallygrowingdosesofallergen • Lastsfor 3-5 years • Isotypeswitch, degranulationof mast cells • Subcutaneous, inhalation, ingestion
Encouraging immune response • Cancertherapy – nonspecific (IL-2, IFNa) × specific • Tumor cells – lowerexpressionof MHC I, productionof IL-10, TGFβ, VEGF, frequentmutations
Antibodies • Ab+cytotoxicdrug/radioisotope/toxin – difficult to asignappropriate antigen fortargeting • Disappointing – antigen instability, inefficientkilling, inefficientpenetration • Especiallyusedforlymphomasandleukemias
Antibodies 2 • Targetinggrowthfactors + othermolecules • Bevacizumab (VEGF) – coloncancer, renalcancer • rituximab (anti CD20) – non-Hodgkinglymphoma
Strategy to enhance Tcell immunity • Antigens + adjuvant (GM-CSF, extract from Corynebac.parvum, CpG) • Dendritic cells – antigens in the form of peptide (HLA restriction),cDNA, RNA, necrotic or apoptotic cells • TILs (tumor infiltrating lymphocytes) • Adoptive cell transfer
