    摘要: Methods for protecting a T cell from cell death are described. The methods involve contacting the T cell with an agent which augments the bcl-XL protein level in the T cell such that it is protected from cell death. The invention further pertains to methods for increasing the susceptibility of a T cell to cell death, comprising contacting the T cell with at least one agent which decreases bcl-XL protein level in the T cell. Both in vivo and in vitro methods are described.

    摘要: Methods for generating highly enriched Th1/Tc1 and Th2/Tc2 functions are described. In particular, the generation of these functions are attained by the addition of an immune suppression drug, rapamycin or a rapamycin derivative compound. In addition to enhanced purity of T cell function, the T cells generated in rapamycin also express molecules that improve immune T cell function such as CD28 and CD62L. Such rapamycin generated functional T cell subsets may have application in the prevention or treatment of GVHD after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, the treatment of autoimmunity, or the therapy of infection or cancer.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for modulating HIV-1 fusion cofactor expression by manipulating CTLA-4 on the surface of T cells. The invention encompasses methods for modulating HIV-1 fusion cofactor expression by inhibiting one or more intracellular signals resulting from stimulation of CTLA-4. In one embodiment, expression of the HIV-1 fusion cofactor, CCR5, is downregulated by binding of anti-CTLA-4 antibody to CTLA-4.
