Objective:To investigate the influence of dendritic cells modified by hIL-10 on proliferation and cytotoxicity of lymphocyte in experimental animals.Methods:The modified dendritic cells were injected intraperitoneally into C57BL/6 mice to sensitize it. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of sensitized or unsensitized C57BL/6 mice act as reactive cells, dendritic cells modified or unmodified by hIL-10 act as stimulation cells. These two type cells co-cultured for 6 days. MTT assay was used to detect lymphocyte proliferation. Lactate dehydrogenase release method was used to examine the cytotoxic activity.Results:The results showed that IL-10 can inhibit lymphocyte proliferation reaction of unsensitized or sensitized C57BL/6 mice. Lymphocyte proliferation induced by modified dendritic cells is significant lower than that by unmodified dendritic cells. Modified dendritic cells can resist the cytotoxic activity of cytotoxic T lymphocyte.Conclusion:Dendritic cells stably expressing IL-10 can obviously decrease lymphocyte proliferation response of allogenic mice and reduce the cytotoxic activity.

The variable heavy chain region (VH) genes of 3 untreated patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) were cloned and analyzed. The VH family used was VH3-11, VH3-72 and VH3-33. More than 2% difference from the corresponding germline gene was detected in all the 3 obtained potential functional genes (average 16.7). Mutation pattern analysis indicated evidence of antigen selective pressure observed in 1 of 3 cases. Our findings suggested that the tumor cells originate from post-GC cells.

The expression vector of SmIg scFv fragment was constructed in patient with B cell chronic lymphocyte leukemia (B-CLL) and expressed in E. coli to obtain scFv fragment, and the effect of the protein on the proliferation of stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was investigated in vitro. Two pairs of primers were designed, and variable region genes of light chain and heavy chain were amplified by PCR respectively from the pGEM-T vectors previously constructed in our laboratory which containing light chain gene or Fd fragment of heavy chain gene. The PCR product was digested, purified and inserted into pHEN2 vector to construct the soluble expression vector pHEN2-scFv. After the induction by IPTG, the scFv protein was identified by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and purified by Ni-NTA-Chromatography. MTT was used to determine the effect of purified protein on the proliferation of stimulated PBMC in vitro. Plasmid PCR and restriction enzyme digestion of pHEN2-scFv revealed the pHEN2-scFv vector was constructed successfully. Id-scFv protein was expressed in positive clone after induced by IPTG. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the relative molecular weight of fusion protein was about 30 kD (1 kD= 0.9921 ku), which was consistent with the theoretically predicted value. Proliferation of PBMC could be induced by purified Id-scFv. It was suggested that the expression vector of SmIg scFv fragment was constructed successfully, and scFv protein was expressed and secreted from E. coli, which could induce proliferation of PBMC. This may lay an experimental foundation for further research of Id-HSP complex vaccine for B-CLL.
