2 Role of the T-cell in Asthma L Cosmi, et al. Allergy 2011;

3 Immunologic Response: Summary The immunologic response to allergen immunotherapy involves: 1) A shift from Th 2 to Th 2 cytokine profile 2) The generation of regulatory T cells secreting IL-10 and TGF- ,

10 IL-10 and TGF-  Cooperate in the Regulatory T Cell Response to Mucosal Allergens in Normal Immunity and Specific Immunotherapy Examined the normal immunoregulatory mechanism and the immunologic basis of specific immunotherapy (SIT) to Der p 1 and Bet v 1 M Jutel, et al. Eur J Immunol 2003;33:1205-14

11 Regulatory T Cell Response In normal immunity to HDM and birch pollen an allergen-specific peripheral T cell suppression to Der p 1 and Bet v 1 was observed. This was characterized by: - suppressed proliferative T cell, (Th 1 ) INF- , and (Th 2 ) IL-5, IL-13 responses - increased IL-10 and TGF-  secretion by allergen-specific T cells.

12 Regulatory T Cell Response Specific immunotherapy induced an allergen-specific suppressive activity in CD4+ CD25+ T cells of allergic individuals. Suppression was induced by IL-10 and TGF-  These results demonstrate a deviation towards a regulatory/suppressor T cell response during SIT similar to the “healthy” immune response to mucosal allergens.

17 Gerald Gleich: Effect of 6 Years of Immunotherapy on IgE and IgG Antibodies to Ragweed (1982)  Antibody levels were monitored 2 years before and 4 years following institution of ragweed immunotherapy.  Before immunotherapy patients ragweed-specific IgE rose with each pollen season and declined off season.  With immunotherapy there was an abrupt rise in specific IgE, but the seasonal increases were blocked, and IgE levels gradually declined.  Specific IgG rose with immunotherapy and remained high.

19 Immunologic Response: Summary The immunologic response to allergen immunotherapy involves: 1) A shift from Th 2 to Th 1 cytokine profile 2) The generation of regulatory T cells secreting IL-10 and TGF- , What is the relationship between the two immune responses?

20 Sublingual Immunotherapy Induces IL-10-producing T Regulatory Cells, Allergen-specific T-cell Tolerance, and Immune Deviation 9 subjects underwent SLIT with a 4-week build up to a daily dose of birch pollen extract containing 4.5 mcg Bet v 1. Assessments were made prior to treatment, on reaching maintenance after 4 weeks and after one year. B Bohle, et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2007;120:707-13

21 Immune Response to Sublingual Immunotherapy: 4 Weeks After 4 weeks of SLIT: Circulating CD4+CD25+ cells were increased (from 15% to 35%) PBMC proliferation in response to Bet v 1, Mal d 1 (apple) and tetanus toxoid were decreased from baseline. Before treatment depletion of CD4+CD25+ cells decreased proliferation. After 4 weeks depletion resulted in increased proliferation with all 3 antigens. B Bohle, et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2007;120:707-13

22 Immune Response to Sublingual Immunotherapy: 4 Weeks mRNA expression in antigen stimulated T- cells was decreased for IL-4 and IFN-  and increased for IL-10. Neutralization of IL-10 in cultures significantly increased PBMC proliferation. FoxP3 expression in CD3+ T-cells was increased. B Bohle, et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2007;120:707-13

23 Immune Response to Sublingual Immunotherapy: 52 Weeks After 52 weeks of SLIT: Circulating CD4+CD25+ cells were decreased (from 35% to 21%) PBMC proliferation in response to Bet v 1, was decreased from baseline, but response to Mal d 1 and TT returned to baseline. CD4+CD25+ depletion decreased proliferation to antigen. B Bohle, et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2007;120:707-13

24 Immune Response to Sublingual Immunotherapy: 52Weeks mRNA expression in antigen stimulated T- cells was decreased for IL-4 and IL-10 compared to baseline, while mRNA for IFN-  was increased. FoxP3 expression in CD3+ T-cells was normal. B Bohle, et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2007;120:707-13

28 SLIT Induces IL-10-producing T Regulatory Cells, Allergen-specific T-cell Tolerance, and Immune Deviation: Conclusions The early immune response to SLIT is IL- 10 secreting regulatory T cells with non- allergen specific T cell suppression. By one year, regulatory T cells have declined, replaced by allergen-specific T cell suppression and enhanced IFN-  production. B Bohle, et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2007;120:707-13
