Interleukin 12 exerts a differential effect on the maturation of neonatal and adult human CD45R0- CD4 T cells.

Abstract: It is now recognized that IL-12 plays a predominant role in protective immunity against intracellular pathogens by promoting the development of T helper type 1 (Thl) responses. We here report the unexpected observations that IL-12 exerts differential effects on the maturation of "naive" human CD4 T cells isolated from umbilical cord blood or from the blood of healthy adults.

“…The observation that IL-2, IL-4 and IL-7, but not IL-12, can reverse T cell 'anergy' provides a basis for the differential induction of PBMC from HIV-infected, non-vaccinated individuals by IL-7 and IL-12 [29]. In contrast, IL-12 seemed better than IL-7 at generating proliferative responses in naive, seronegative individuals, consistent with data suggesting that the priming of CD45RA þ , naive human CD4 þ cells with IL-12 and mitogen induces the generation of Th1-like CD45RO þ cells [32]. Several groups have recently proposed that HIV-1 pathogenesis is associated with a shift from beneficial Th1-like ('type 1') [33] cellular immune responses to detrimental Th2-like ('type 2') humoral responses [20,33,34].…”

“…In the Salmonella-harboring IL-12 plasmid vaccine model, IL-12 is involved in the protective response induced by administration and the level of protection is increased with co-administration of rIL-12 (Dunussi-Joannopoulos et al, 1999). IL-12 is involved in differentiation of naïve CD4+ lymphocyte to the Th1 subset, which produces IFN-γ, as well as other cytokines (Arulanandam et al, 1999;Shu et al, 1994). Many previous studies had tested this cytokine as an adjuvant in experimental infection models in which induction of Th1 responses is known to be critical for protective immunity (Arulanandam et al, 1999).…”

“…In addition, IL-12 priming at birth may have a differential effect on the development of neonatal vs adult T cells. In vitro treatment of human neonatal T cells with IL-12 has been shown to induce both IFN-␥ and IL-4 secretion, a phenotype associated with maturation of neonatal T cells (35).…”
