Abstract

The most recent Human Leucocyte Differentiation Antigen Workshop ("HLDA7") took place in 2000 in Harrogate, UK and the proceedings are about to be published (Leucocyte Typing VII). New Sections were introduced in this Workship (Dendritic cells, Stem/progenitor cells, Erythroid cells and Carbohydrate Structures) and monoclonal antibodies were selected for which at least some molecular data were already available (to avoid "blind" screening of reagents against known specificities). A total of more than 80 new CD specificities were established (previously the average was less than 30 new CD specificities per Workshop) and these are listed in this article. There is already evidence for the existence of many new leucocyte surface molecules for study at the next HLDA Workshop (in Adelaide in 2004), and we have listed in this article a number of such potential CD candidates (identified following the production of monoclonal antibodies or via gene cloning). There are also today an increasing number of lineage- and/or stage-restricted leucocyte-associated molecules localised within the cell cytoplasm (or nucleus): they will certainly prove of intense in the future for many laboratories studying human haematopoietic cells (regardless of whether a new "intracellular CD" categorisation scheme is devised for such molecules).

Fractionation of normal and leukemic T-cells by lectin-affinity column chromatography.

A method for rapid fractionation of normal and leukemic T-cells (Jurkat, RPMI-8402, MOLT-4), using lectin-affinity column chromatography, is described. CNBr-activated Sepharose 6MB was used as a non-mobile phase. The gel was covalently conjugated with Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA) over 24 h. The normal cells were eluted by phosphate buffered saline (Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) free), while the leukemic T-cells, interacting with DBA, were removed by N-acetyl-D-galactosamine or by low-concentrated acetic acid as a mobile phase. The cell fractions were detected spectrophotometrically at 600 nm. The rate of cell elution decreased in the order: normal>leukemic T-cells. The viability and the type of separated T-cell fractions were characterized by flow cytometry, using adequate fluorescent antibodies. The interactions between leukemic T-cells and DBA-saturated Sepharose beads were examined by fluorescent microscopy, using fluorescent isothiocyanate-DBA as a fluorescent marker.

Large-scale monocyte enrichment coupled with a closed culture system for the generation of human dendritic cells.

Conventional methods for generating monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DC) for clinical trials utilize the property of plastic adherence to select monocytes from leukapheresis samples. This method is labor-intensive and has the potential for contamination at various steps. We evaluated a large-scale monocyte enrichment procedure using a cell selector (Isolex 300i(R)) followed by culture in a sterile bag system (Stericell(R)) for generation of DC. DC generated in tissue culture flasks after monocyte selection by plastic adherence were compared to those generated in Stericell(R) bags after monocyte enrichment by negative selection with the Isolex(R) 300i. DC were matured with lipopolysaccharide and pulsed with a peptide derived from the melanoma antigen gp100. Peptide-pulsed DC cultured by the two techniques were evaluated for phenotype, viability, ability to induce allogeneic and peptide-specific autologous proliferative responses as well as peptide-specific cytotoxic T-cell responses. The mean monocyte yield from leukapheresis collections was 17+/-2.4%, which increased to 52+/-11% after Isolex(R) selection. The DC yield of plated mononuclear cells from flasks or bags was 2.7+/-0.96% and 4.84+/-2.65%, respectively. DC cultured by both methods expressed high levels of CD86, CD80, CD40, CD83, CD44, CD11c and CD58, and was comparable in their ability to induce allogeneic and peptide-specific autologous proliferative responses as well as gp100 peptide-specific cytotoxic T-cell responses. These results indicate that potent monocyte-derived DC can be generated in a closed culture bag system after monocyte enrichment by immunomagnetic negative selection. Due to the closed nature of the enrichment and culture systems, the potential for contamination is minimized. This protocol is well suited for culturing large numbers of DC for clinical immunotherapy trials.

Quantitative differences in chemokine receptor engagement generate diversity in integrin-dependent lymphocyte adhesion.

Chemokines control the specificity of lymphocyte homing. Numerous chemokines have been identified but the significance of redundancy in chemokine networks is unexplained. Here we investigated the biological significance of distinct chemokines binding to the same receptor. Among CCR4 ligands, skin vessels endothelial cells present C-C chemokine ligand (CCL) 17 but not CCL22 consistent with CCL17 involvement in T lymphocyte arrest on endothelial cells. However, CCL22 is much more powerful than CCL17 in the induction of rapid integrin-dependent T cell adhesion on VCAM-1 under conditions of physiological flow. The dominance of CCL22 over CCL17 extends to other CCR4-mediated phenomena such as receptor desensitization and internalization and correlates with the peculiar kinetics of CCR4 engagement by the two ligands. A similar phenomenological pattern is also shown for CXC chemokine ligand 9 and CXC chemokine ligand 11, which share binding to CXCR3. Our analysis shows how quantitative variations in chemokine receptor expression level and ligand engagement may alter the selectivity of integrin-dependent lymphocyte adhesive responses, suggesting a mechanism by which chemokine networks may either generate or break the specificity of lymphocyte subset recruitment.
