These studies sought to determine the gene expression and short-term effects of intralesional lipid-complexed immunogene therapy with constructs encoding Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin A and canine interleukin-2 (L-SEA/cIL-2) in dogs with tumors of various histotypes, and then to assess the safety and efficacy of repeated L-SEA/cIL-2 injections in dogs with spontaneous soft tissue sarcomas (STS). In the first study, pet dogs with a variety of tumors received a single intralesional injection of L-SEA/cIL-2, and surgical excision was performed 48 h later. In the second study, dogs with histologically confirmed STS were treated weekly for a maximum of 12 weeks with escalating doses of L-SEA/cIL-2. Tumors were then surgically excised and assessed histologically and immunohistochemically. Overall, treatments were well tolerated, with no dose-limiting toxicities encountered. At 48 h, in the single injection study, plasmid DNA was detected in 14 of 16 tumor samples, and plasmid-specific mRNA was detected in 3 of 14. In the multiple injection study, the overall response rate in dogs with STS was 25%, consisting of 3 complete responses (CR) and 1 partial response (PR). Diffuse lymphoplasmacytic inflammation was observed in all tumors from patients experiencing CR or PR, whereas these changes were not evident in tumors from nonresponders. The infiltrate was composed primarily of CD3(+) cells at 48 h from the single-injection study, and was composed of both CD3(+) and CD79a(+) cells at 12 weeks in responding dogs from the multiple-injection study. In conclusion, these studies suggests that intralesional L-SEA/cIL-2 immunotherapy is well tolerated, results in detectable transgene expression in canine tumors, and has antitumor activity in dogs with spontaneous STS. 相似文献

Large granular lymphocytes (LGL) have been characterized phenotypically and functionally as cytotoxic T lymphocytes, NK cells or lymphokine-activated killer cells. The most prominent morphologic feature of LGL is large cytoplasmic granules that are thought to contain the molecules responsible for cell lysis. In this study, we describe the morphologic and functional characteristics of IL-2-dependent cytotoxic lymphocytes derived from feline PBL. Stimulation of feline PBL with Con A followed by culturing in 50 U of gibbon monkey IL-2 human rIL-2 induced long term lymphocyte cultures. These lymphocytes are cytotoxic for the feline leukemia virus-induced T cell lymphoma (FL74), in a 4-h 51Cr release assay. All cell lines are either constitutively cytotoxic for FL74 cells, or cytotoxic in a lectin-dependent cell cytotoxic assay, the latter being a characteristic of low passage cultures. In contrast, no cell lines express self lysis or lysis for other lines. [3H]TdR uptake showed that 1 U of human rIL-2 produces a 50% maximal proliferative response by feline lymphocytes suggesting a high degree of homology between the ligand binding sites of feline and human IL-2R. Feline cytotoxic lymphocytes possess abundant cytoplasm containing large azurophilic granules characteristic of LGL. These granules are bound by a bilipid membrane and contain numerous smaller membrane-bound vesicles 50 to 60 nm in diameter. A model is proposed, whereby subsequent to binding of LGL to target cell the large granules fuse to the LGL plasma membrane and release the small vesicles into the binding pocket. The vesicles then transport the lytic molecules directly and selectively to the target cell membrane. 相似文献
