    摘要: Provided are methods and compositions for labeling an allergen-specific pathogenic CD4+ T-cell. The method can comprise contacting a cell population comprising CD4+ T cells with a suspected allergen to provide a challenged cell population, contacting the challenged cell population, or a subpopulation thereof, with a first molecule that specifically binds to a biomarker for an allergen-specific pathogenic T cell, wherein binding of the first molecule to the biomarker on a CD4+ cell indicates the cell is an allergen-specific pathogenic CD4+ T cell, and detecting binding of the first molecule to a CD4+ cell, wherein binding to the cell indicates the cell is an allergen-specific pathogenic CD4+ T cell. The method is applicable to monitoring the presence of allergen-specific pathogenic CD4+ T cells and/or efficacy of immunotherapy for allergies in a subject.

    摘要: Compositions for treating autoimmune, allergic, or atopic disease comprising a compound that inhibits hyaluronan synthesis and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier are described. In some embodiments, the compound that inhibits hyaluronan synthesis is 4-methylumbelliferone or a metabolite of 4-methylumbelliferone. Methods for treating autoimmune diabetes, multiple sclerosis and/or autoimmune demyelination, including administering to the subject a composition having a compound in an amount effective to inhibit hyaluronan synthesis in a mammalian subject, are also described.

    摘要: A method for identifying an autoimmune or demyelinating disease in a subject is described. The method includes (a) FIRST COHORT obtaining a sample comprising CD4′ T cells from a subject; (b) determining a level of IL-6 responsiveness of CD4+ T cells from the sample; (c) comparing the level of IL-6 responsiveness determined in step (b) with a level of IL-6 responsiveness of CD4+ T cells in a sample from a healthy subject; and (d) identifying the subject as having an autoimmune or demyelinating disease based upon an elevated level of IL-6 responsiveness in the subject. Biomarkers include, for example, IL-6Rα and/or pSTAT3. Methods for identifying and characterizing multiple sclerosis and relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis are also described.

    摘要: The present invention provides methods for generating mammalian T cell populations comprising antigen-specific CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells from freshly isolated CD4+CD25− T cells. The method comprises selecting CD4+CD25− T cells from a sample obtained from a mammalian subject; determining the MHC Class II type of the subject; inducing the generation of antigen-specific regulatory T cells by contacting the isolated CD4+CD25− T cells in a culture vessel with an induction agent for a time period sufficient to generate antigen-specific CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells; and selecting the CD4+CD25+ antigen-specific regulatory T cells by sorting the cells in the induction culture with a selection agent comprising at least one artificial multimeric MHC Class II/peptide complex that corresponds to the MHC Class II type of the subject.
