    摘要: Tumor cells modified to express one or more T cell costimulatory molecules are disclosed. Preferred costimulatory molecules are B7-2 and B7-3. The tumor cells of the invention can be modified by transfection with nucleic acid encoding B7-2 and/or B7-3, by using an agent which induces or increases expression of B7-2 and/or B7-3 on the tumor cell or by coupling B7-2 and/or B7-3 to the tumor cell. Tumor cells modified to express B7-2 and/or B7-3 can be further modified to express B7. Tumor cells further modified to express MHC class I and/or class II molecules or in which expression of an MHC associated protein, the invariant chain, is inhibited are also disclosed. The modified tumor cells of the invention can be used in methods for treating a patient with a tumor, preventing or inhibiting metastatic spread of a tumor or preventing or inhibiting recurrence of a tumor. A method for specifically inducing a CD4.sup.+ T cell response against a tumor and a method for treating a tumor by modification of tumor cells in vivo are disclosed.

    摘要: Nucleic acids encoding novel CTLA4/CD28 ligands which costimulate T cell activation are disclosed. In one embodiment, the nucleic acid has a sequence which encodes a B lymphocyte antigen, B7-2. Preferably, the nucleic acid is a DNA molecule comprising at least a portion of a nucleotide sequence shown in FIG. 8, SEQ ID NO:1 or FIG. 14, SEQ ID NO:23. The nucleic acid sequences of the invention can be integrated into various expression vectors, which in turn direct the synthesis of the corresponding proteins or peptides in a variety of hosts, particularly eukaryotic cells, such as mammalian and insect cell culture. Also disclosed are host cells transformed to produce proteins or peptides encoded by the nucleic acid sequences of the invention and isolated proteins and peptides which comprise at least a portion of a novel B lymphocyte antigen. Proteins and peptides described herein can be administered to subjects to enhance or suppress T cell-mediated immune responses.

    摘要: Structural forms of T cell costimulatory polypeptides are described. These forms comprise an alternative structural domain (i.e., a structural domain having an amino acid sequence which differs from a known amino acid sequence) or have a structural domain deleted or added. The structural forms correspond to naturally-occurring alternatively spliced forms of T cell costimulatory polypeptides or variants thereof which can be produced by standard recombinant DNA techniques. In one embodiment, the T cell costimulatory polypeptide of the invention contains an alternative cytoplasmic domain. In another embodiment, the T cell costimulatory polypeptide of the invention contains an alternative signal peptide domain or has an immunoglobulin variable region-like domain deleted. The alternative structural forms of T cell costimulatory polypeptides can be used to identify agents which stimulate the expression of alternative forms of costimulatory polypeptides and to identify components of the signal transduction pathway which results in costimulation of T cells.

    摘要: The present invention relates to, inter alia, methods for inhibiting the interaction of the B-lymphocyte antigen, B7-2, with its natural ligand on the surface of an immune cell are disclosed. The methods comprise contacting the immune cell with an agent which inhibits B7-2 binding with its natural ligand, to thereby inhibit the interaction. Examples of such agents are provided, and include a soluble form of B7-2, an antibody that recognized B7-2. The method may also include contacting the immune cell with an agent that blocks the interaction of B7-1 with its natural ligand. Further, the method may include contacting the immune cell with an immunomodulating agent, for example, an antibody reactive with CD28, an antibody reactive with CTLA4, an antibody reactive with a cytokine, a CTLA4Ig fusion protein, a CD28Ig fusion protein, and an immunosuppressive drug. Both in vivo and in vitro applications of the method are disclosed.
