Problems solved by technology

This was unexpected since NF-κB has been shown to be activated in DC (Feuillard et al. (1996) Eui. J Immunol 26:2547-2551; Granelli-P

Embodiment Construction

[0199] Materials and methods

[0200] 1. Reagents

[0201] Human recombinant GM-CSF and TNFα were kindly provided by Dr. Glenn Larsen (GI) and Dr. D Tracey (BASF), respectively. Human recombinant IL-4 was purchased from R&D System (Minneapolis, USA). PMA, LPS and ionomycin were obtained from Sigma Chemical Co. (St Louis, USA). Proteosome inhibitor Cbz-Ile-Glu (O-tert-butyl-Ala-cerema (PSI) was obtained from Calbiochem (Nottingham, UK). M-CSF was obtained from Genetics Institute (Boston, USA).

[0202] 2. Preparation of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells

[0203] Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were obtained by density centrifugation of leukopheresis residues obtained from healthy volunteers (North London Blood Trahsfusion Service, Colindale, UK). The heparinized residue was diluted 2-fold with HBSS, 25 ml was carefully overlaid on an equal volume of Ficoll-Hypaque lymphoprep (Nycomed, Oslo, Norway) in a 50 ml sterile tube, and then centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 30 ...

Abstract

Induction of an anergic response by NF-ºB inhibitors and the inhibition of immune response by the administration of an inhibitor of NF-ºB is disclosed. Examples ofNF-ºB inhibitors include IºB±, PSI, a nucleotide encoding IºB± anti-sense nucleic acid encoding an NF-ºB sequence, such as RelB, and anti- NF-ºB antibodies. Also disclosed are vectors encoding inducers and inhibitors of NF-ºB, for example adenoviral vectors.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the following applications: filing date: December 22, 2000; application number: 00819105.0 (PCT / GB00 / 04925); invention title: "activation and suppression of the immune system". field of invention [0002] The present invention relates to the use of inducers and inhibitors of NF-κB to activate and suppress the immune system, and the use of the inducers and inhibitors to treat transplant rejection, autoimmune diseases, allergies, infectious diseases and cancers. Background technique [0003] Antigen presentation is a key step in initiating an immune response, and dendritic cells (DCs) are considered to be the most effective antigen-presenting cells for naive T cells. This is partly due to their high expression of MHC and co-stimulatory molecules (Hart (1997) Blood 90, 3245-3287). However, little is known about the biochemical pathways that regulate the function of antigen presentation, partly due to the difficulty of trans...
