Summary for Patent: 8,198,235
Title:Use of GILZ protein expressed in dendritic cells to modulate an antigen-specific immune response
Abstract: The invention concerns the use of at least one: a) a GILZ protein, a functional fragment of at least 5 consecutive amino acids of said protein, a GILZ modulator, or a recombinant vector expressing same, isolated or expressed in modified dendritic cells, and b) an antigen of interest and/or a molecule allowing targeting and/or passage of the plasmic membrane of dendritic cells, to prepare a medicine for preventing and/or treating autoimmune, inflammatory diseases, allergies, graft rejection and graft-versus-host disease, cancers and pathogenic micro-organism infections.

Assignee: Assistance Publique-Hopitaux de Paris (Paris, FR)
Application Number:11/575,073
Patent Claims:1. A method for inducing antigen-specific suppressor/regulatory T lymphocytes in vitro, wherein said antigen is a Dermatophagoides pteronvssinus allergen, and wherein said method comprises: a1) preparing autologous dendritic cells expressing a GILZ protein; and b1) simultaneously or sequentially, incubating said autologous dendritic cells obtained in said preparing a1) with an antigen corresponding to the antigen of said antigen-specific suppressor/regulatory T lymphocytes, and a peripheral blood sample comprising CD4.sup.+ T cells.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein in b1), said autologous dendritic cells are simultaneously incubated with said antigen and said peripheral blood sample.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein in b1), said autologous dendritic cells are sequentially incubated with said antigen and said peripheral blood sample.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein said antigen is a Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p 1, Der p 2) allergen.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein said blood sample is a peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) sample.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein said blood sample is an autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) sample.
