Experimental autoimmune neuritis (EAN) induced by peripheral nerve myelin (PNM) is self-limiting and re-immunization with PNM does not re-activate disease. This study showed inhibition of EAN by CD4CD25T cells both from sensitized hosts or from naïve hosts after ex-vivo activation by PNM and rIL-2. Transfer of naïve CD4CD25T cells has no effect on EAN, nor did naïve CD4CD25T cells activated with rIL-2 and renal tubular antigen. Culture of naive CD4CD25Treg with rIL-2 and PNM induced mRNA for the IFN-gamma receptor. We showed naïve CD4CD25T cells activated by specific auto-antigen and rIL-2 produced more potent antigen-specific Treg that may have therapeutic potential.
实验性自身免疫性神经炎 (EAN) 由周围神经髓鞘 (PNM) 诱导,具有自限性,用 PNM 再次免疫不会重新激活疾病。本研究显示,PNM 和 rIL-2 体外激活后,来自致敏宿主或来自幼稚宿主的 CD4CD25T 细胞均可抑制 EAN。幼稚 CD4CD25T 细胞转移对 EAN 没有影响,rIL-2 和肾小管抗原激活的幼稚 CD4CD25T 细胞也没有影响。rIL-2 和 PNM 培养的幼稚 CD4CD25Treg 诱导 IFN-γ受体的 mRNA。我们表明,由特异性自身抗原和 rIL-2 激活的幼稚 CD4CD25T 细胞产生了更有效的抗原特异性 Treg,可能具有治疗潜力。
