The inducible costimulatory molecule (ICOS) is expressed on activated T cells and participates in a variety of important immunoregulatory functions. After the induction of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis in SJL mice with proteolipid protein (PLP), brain ICOS mRNA and protein were up-regulated on infiltrating CD3+ T cells before disease onset. ICOS blockade during the efferent immune response (9-20 days after immunization) abrogated disease, but blockade during antigen priming (1-10 days after immunization) exacerbated disease. Upon culture with PLP and compared with immunized controls, splenocytes produced either decreased interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma, in efferent blockade) or excessive IFN-gamma (in priming blockade). PLP-specific immunoglobulin G1 was decreased in animals treated with anti-ICOS during antigen priming, but not in other groups.
诱导性共刺激分子(ICOS)在活化的T细胞上表达,并参与多种重要的免疫调节功能。在用蛋白脂蛋白(PLP)诱导SJL小鼠发生实验性变应性脑脊髓炎后,在疾病发作前,浸润的CD3+ T细胞上脑ICOS mRNA和蛋白上调。在传出免疫反应期间(免疫后9 - 20天)阻断ICOS可消除疾病,但在抗原致敏期间(免疫后1 - 10天)阻断ICOS会加重疾病。与PLP一起培养时,与免疫对照组相比,脾细胞产生的干扰素-γ(IFN-γ,在传出阻断中)减少或产生过量的IFN-γ(在致敏阻断中)。在抗原致敏期间用抗ICOS治疗的动物中,PLP特异性免疫球蛋白G1减少,但在其他组中未减少。
