    摘要: Methods of identifying a patient having an altered immune status involve determining an immune status index for the patient and comparing it to the immune status index in healthy individuals. In general, an immune status index is the ratio of the amount of a protein that varies significantly in a patient with an altered immune status to the amount of another protein that is substantially invariant in both healthy and immune-altered individuals. Variable proteins can be TCR subunit proteins, T lymphocyte signal transduction pathway proteins, polynucleotide binding proteins or biological response modifiers (BRM). In addition, the ratio of a TH-1-type BRM to a TH-2-type BRM, the ratio of cytoplasmic to nuclear levels of polynucleotide binding proteins, the pattern of protein binding to an oligonucleotide probe that comprises the protein binding region of a gene for a BRM, or the pattern of distribution of T lymphocytes in a density gradient following density gradient centrifugation are also suitable as an immune status index. The methods are useful in identifying patients exhibiting immunosuppression, hyperimmunity and autoimmunity, as well as in assessing the immune status of a patient undergoing organ transplant.

    摘要: A soluble immunosuppressive factor present in serum derived from tumor-bearing mammals, is associated with changes in TCR protein subunit levels and T-lymphocyte signal transduction pathway proteins. These changes provide a method of determining the level of immunosuppression in a mammal by determining the level of expression of at least one selected TCR subunit protein, or a protein in the T lymphocyte signal transduction pathway, and comparing the level to that found in non-immunosuppressed individuals. The method is useful to identify patients having T lymphocytes capable of activation for immunotherapy and for identifying agents which cause or reverse immunosuppression. An isolated immunosuppressive factor associated with the level of expression of the proteins is useful for suppressing the immune response, for example, in organ transplantation.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for enhancing the immunotherapeutic activity, e.g., antitumor activity, of immune cells by depleting immune cells of a cell subset that down-regulates the immune response, such as either CD4.sup.+ or CD8.sup.+ lymphocytes. The remaining depleted immune cell population or the separated immune cell subsets then are cultured in the presence of an antibody to a lymphocyte surface receptor, preferably an anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (MoAb), optionally in the presence of a relatively minor amount of interleukin-2 (IL-2). These stimulated cells then are optionally additionally cultured in the presence of IL-2 without an antibody to a lymphocyte surface receptor. The present invention also provides a method of treating a mammal having tumors or immunizing a mammal against tumors by administering the stimulated depleted immune cell population or a stimulated immune cell subset to a mammal, advantageously together with an immunosuppressant, and with liposomal IL-2. The invention further provides a method of transferring the immunity of mammals that are treated or immunized in accordance with the invention by extracting splenocytes from these mammals and administering these splenocytes to a second mammal.
