Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an artificial lymph node and a method for activating immune cells.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a module which is suitable for activating immune cells.
  • a method using the module is to be made available.
  • the object underlying the present invention is achieved by the artificial lymph node according to claim 1.
  • This artificial lymph node consists of a module with an inlet and outlet opening, a complex of antigen-presenting cell, MHC and antigen being immobilized in the module on a support.
  • the module according to the invention can be used in patients or clinical situations with a poor cellular immune response, for example against viral or bacterial pathogens or tumor antigens.
  • the module according to the invention can, for example, in the
  • the module with autologous dendritic cells plus MHC-antigen complex (for example tetramers) with specific immune-relevant peptides is used for transient introduction into the patient's blood stream via a Shaldon catheter.
  • MHC-antigen complex for example tetramers
  • circulating peptide-specific T cells bind to the tetramers in the module and thus come into contact with the DC.
  • the effector cells with insufficient specific function are stimulated and leave the module as highly active cells.
  • CD4 and CD8 memory cells that have previously been in contact with the natural peptide also bind to the tetramers and / or to the DC. These already imprinted cells are also strongly activated.
  • T cells bind to the DC and are tested against the presented peptide.
  • the co-stimulatory factors in the module e.g. DC adhesion molecules, cytokines etc.
  • activate these cells return to the bloodstream in order to eliminate the pathogen there or after extravasation in the diseased tissue using specific effector mechanisms.
  • the induction of a humoral immune response can follow (T cell mediated B cell activation).
  • the advantages of the invention over the conventional methods are that the invention allows the de novo induction or enhancement of a highly specific immune response against the pathogen.
  • peptide-presenting DC By combining the peptide-presenting DC with the MHC / peptide constructs, already imprinted immune cells can be specifically strengthened in their immune response.
  • the in low frequency in the blood cells contained need not consuming isolated and expanded ex vivo, since the cell will automatically pass via 'the blood stream into the filter. Only those cells that have already been in contact with the peptide bind to the MHC-antigen complexes (tetramers, bimers or trimers loaded with peptide) and are sufficiently activated with the help of the co-stimulation by the neighboring DC. After their activation, the effector cells go directly into the bloodstream and into the affected tissues.
  • activation in the present invention includes both increasing the activity of already activated immune cells as well as the 'embossing yet unembossed immune cells.
  • lymph node according to the invention is the high achievable density of the DC in the module.
  • An additional advantage is that, in contrast to the ex vivo stimulation of the effector cells, no large amount of effector cells has to be enriched for the return in the patient. Defects that prevent DC from settling in the patient's natural lymph nodes can be avoided with the aid of the lymph node according to the invention.
  • the artificial lymph node according to the invention can also be used to induce tolerance in patients with pathologically increased immune reactions to natural antigens (allergies) or the body's own structures (autoimmune diseases). Examples include:
  • the artificial lymph node according to the invention preferably consists of a housing with a diameter of 10 cm, for example.
  • the diameter of the inflow and outflow connections is adapted to the hose connections of the catheter connections.
  • a carrier for example a three-dimensionally folded polyester membrane with a modified surface, for the application of MHC antigen
  • DC dentritic cells
  • the pretreatment of the DC includes the immunological maturation of the DC in various ways. In this way, a peptide-specific immune response, but also the tolerance to individual peptides can be induced as desired.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un noeud lymphatique artificiel, constitué d'un module pourvu d'un orifice d'entrée et d'un orifice de sortie. Dans ce module, un complexe qui est constitué d'une cellule présentant l'antigène, du MHC et de l'antigène sont immobilisés sur un support. Le module selon l'invention peut être utilisé chez des patients (cas cliniques) présentant une réponse immunitaire cellulaire défaillante vis-à-vis, par exemple, d'agents infectieux viraux ou bactériens ou d'antigènes tumoraux.
