Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells Generated After a Short-Term Culture with IFN-α and Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor Stimulate a Potent Epstein-Barr Virus-Specific CD8+ T Cell Response

Abstract: Cellular immune responses are crucial for the control of EBV-associated lymphoproliferative diseases. To induce an anti-EBV cell-mediated immunity, we have used dendritic cells (DCs) generated by a 3-day culture of human CD14+ monocytes in the presence of GM-CSF and type I IFN (IFN-DCs) and pulsed with peptides corresponding to CTL EBV epitopes. The functional activity of IFN-DCs was compared with that of APCs differentiated by culturing monocytes for 3 days with GM-CSF and IL-4 and indicated as IL-4-DCs. Stim… Show more

“…1, top panels, and Table I). Consistent with previous reports (11)(12)(13)(14)(15), IFN-␣ DCs expressed higher levels of CD40, CD80, CD86, and HLA-DR relative to control DCs before LPS stimulation (Fig. 1).…”

“…Similar to the approaches taken in previous reports (11)(12)(13)(14)(15), IFN-␣ DCs were generated from human CD14 ϩ monocytes by culturing cells for 5 days with IFN-␣ and GM-CSF. Control monocyte-derived DCs were obtained using the well-established approach of culture with IL-4 and GM-CSF (16).…”

“…IFN-␣ has been recently shown to induce the rapid maturation of monocytes into DCs (IFN-DCs) displaying potent priming activity on virus-specific T lymphocytes and functional characteristics typical of mature cells (12,14,26). This recent knowledge about the interactions between IFN-␣ and DCs has thus opened new perspectives in the use of this cytokine as vaccine adjuvant as well as in strategies for the development of DC-based immunotherapy (12,13).…”

“…In addition, when IL-4-DC are intradermally injected into humans, they show limited migration to LN [47]. IFN-a/b inclusion in clinical-grade cultures has been proposed for production and maturation of DC [28,30], due to the fact that IFN-a (i) enhances crosspriming, (ii) improves the expansion of CTL and (iii) favours DC adhesion/migration properties. We are currently including IFN-a in the DC maturation cultures for an ongoing cancer clinical trial at our institution (NCT00610389), in which we observe in scintigraphic scans more avid migration of DC into LN (I. Melero et al, unpublished results).…”
