Originally identified as antiviral substances produced by infected cells, type I interferons (IFN-I) are now known to have a wide range of additional activities within both the innate and adaptive immune response. Here we review properties of IFN-I contributing to their 'natural immune adjuvant' character, and their important role for the function of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) and the TLR9-dependent immune adjuvant IC31. We show data to demonstrate that treatment with IFN-I boosts the ability of vaccine/adjuvant combinations to induce peptide-specific CTL in both young and old mice. We view these findings in the perspective of previous clinical applications of IFN-I for vaccination.
最初被鉴定为受感染细胞产生的抗病毒物质,I 型干扰素(IFN-I)现在被认为在先天和适应性免疫反应中具有广泛的其他活性。在这里,我们回顾了 IFN-I 的特性,这些特性有助于其“天然免疫佐剂”特性,以及它们对完全弗氏佐剂(CFA)和 TLR9 依赖性免疫佐剂 IC31 的功能的重要作用。我们展示的数据表明,IFN-I 的治疗增强了疫苗/佐剂组合在年轻和老年小鼠中诱导肽特异性 CTL 的能力。我们从 IFN-I 以前用于疫苗接种的临床应用的角度来看待这些发现。
