Inducible costimulator (ICOS)/B7h costimulation plays a crucial role in acute and chronic allograft rejection. To test the role of the ICOS signal in T-cell activation and expansion, we used ICOS-Fc-targeted B cells as donor antigen presenting cells to challenge the allogeneic response in vitro.
In vitro, the binding of ICOS-Fc with B7h on splenic B cells was confirmed by flow cytometry analysis. To evaluate the capacity of ICOS-Fc-targeted B cells to elicit an allogeneic response in vitro, we performed mixed lymphocyte reactions.
The binding of B7h on splenic B cells by ICOS-Fc was confirmed at a saturating concentration of 100 μg/mL. Blockade of ICOS/B7h in direct allorecognition depressed proliferation of alloreactive T cells in vitro.
ICOS/B7h signal plays an important role in direct allorecognition, eliciting allogeneic responses in vitro.
诱导性共刺激分子(ICOS)/B7h共刺激在急性和慢性同种异体移植排斥反应中起关键作用。为了测试ICOS信号在T细胞活化和扩增中的作用,我们使用ICOS-Fc靶向的B细胞作为供体抗原呈递细胞在体外激发同种异体反应。
在体外,通过流式细胞术分析证实ICOS-Fc与脾B细胞上的B7h结合。为了评估ICOS-Fc靶向的B细胞在体外引发同种异体反应的能力,我们进行了混合淋巴细胞反应。
在100μg/mL的饱和浓度下证实了ICOS-Fc与脾B细胞上B7h的结合。在直接同种异体识别中阻断ICOS/B7h可抑制体外同种反应性T细胞的增殖。
ICOS/B7h信号在直接同种异体识别中起重要作用,在体外引发同种异体反应。
