The immune-mediated effect of natural killer (NK) and cytotoxic T cells against residual tumor cells previously was shown to prevent relapse and reinduce remission after bone marrow transplantation. Human umbilical cord blood is a rich source of cytotoxic CD56+ cells including fetal NK cells (CD16(-)CD56+1) with high lytic capabilities upon activation with interleukin-2 (IL-2). Cord blood transplantations are reported to be associated with lower risk of graft-vs-host disease, which may jeopardize the graft-vs-leukemia effect. Therefore, our goal was to expand and amplify, ex vivo, cord blood-derived CD56+ cell-mediated cytotoxic activity.Cord blood-derived CD56+ cells were separated using anti-CD56 monoclonal antibody and immunomagnetic beads. The cells were expanded in the presence of irradiated feeder cells and various concentrations of IL-2. Maximal fold expansion (152 +/- 29) was achieved on day 22 by culturing the cells in the presence of irradiated autologous lymphocytes. Irradiated murine stromal cells yielded 42 +/- fourfold expansion (p < 0.05). FACS analysis at the peak of expansion revealed that the cells were 96% +/- 1% CD56+. Interferon-gamma levels significantly decreased throughout the culture period (from 1,034 +/- 34 pg/mL to 21 +/- 8 pg/mL) as did IL-6 levels (from 11,535 +/- 1,452 pg/mL to 323 +/- 161 pg/mL) whereas tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels did not change. The expanded cells manifested potent lytic capabilities against K562 and Colo-205 cell lines (70.9% +/- 2.0% and 48.2% +/- 4.0%, respectively) (n = 5) (effector-to-target ratio 25:1). Coculturing the expanded NK cells with fresh ALL blasts resulted in 85% +/- 1% inhibition of colony growth in methylcellulose (n = 2). In addition, the CD56+ expanded cells induced 44% +/- 7.5% apoptosis of K562 target cells (n = 3). It is possible to effectively expand cord blood-derived CD56+ cells, ex vivo, while maintaining their antileukemic capablilities.

Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) levels finally become stable with increasing age as revealed by using an ELISA corresponding to the bioactivity.

The immune status is a parameter of the capacity of the immune system to fend off microorganisms. The use of leukocyte subtyping to define the immune status is clinically established. IFN-gamma is a key cytokine directing the immune response. In this study, we investigated whether IFN-gamma is a more sensitive parameter of the immune status. All persons tested showed stable quantities of white blood cell counts over the whole study. Analyses of the lymphocyte subpopulations of two time points resulted in a strong correlation with high statistical significance for the percentage of CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19, CD45 -subtypes and CD56/16 positive cells. IFN-gamma production by the individuals correlates between these time points also, but only if an ELISA strongly correlating to IFN-gamma bioactivity was used instead of other commercial IFN-gamma ELISAs. The IFN-gamma production by males was less variable than by females. Furthermore, intraindividual differences in IFN-gamma secretion were minimal after the age of 46. In conclusion, our data demonstrate that IFN-gamma is a more sensitive parameter for the actual status of the immune system, since its titer shows alterations faster than leukocyte subtyping. Furthermore, leukocyte subtypes do not correspond to the production capacity of the regulatory cytokine IFN-gamma in healthy individuals.

Reduced IFN-gamma production in elderly people following in vitro stimulation with influenza vaccine and endotoxin.

Cytokine interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) is pivotal in the defence against viruses and intracellular pathogens and an age-related decreased IFN-gamma production may explain the increased infectious disease morbidity and mortality in the elderly. Therefore, we performed a series of clinical experiments evaluating the influence of age and health status on IFN-gamma production following in vitro stimulation with influenza vaccine or endotoxin. Both healthy and frail elderly people produced significantly lower amounts of IFN-gamma following ex vivo stimulation with influenza vaccine or endotoxin. We conclude that ageing is accompanied by a decreased capacity to produce IFN-gamma. This may explain the increased incidence and case-fatality caused by viruses and intracellular pathogens in the elderly.

Developmental windows of differential lead-induced immunotoxicity in chickens.

The developing immune system of rodents has been shown to exhibit increased sensitivity to lead-induced immunotoxicity compared with that of adults. However, little is known about potential windows of increased vulnerability during discrete periods of embryonic development. To investigate differential embryonic sensitivity to lead-induced immunotoxicity, sublethal doses of lead ranging from 5 to 400 microg/egg were introduced into fertilized Cornell K Strain White Leghorn chicken eggs via the air sac at one of four different stages of embryonic development (5, 7, 9, and 12 days of incubation, designated as E5, E7, E9, and E12, respectively). Lead levels of blood and bone were determined at hatching and lead-induced immunotoxicity was evaluated in 5-6 week old young chickens using a delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction against bovine serum albumin (BSA), macrophage production of nitric oxide, and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) production by splenic lymphocytes as immune indicators. Splenic lymphocyte production of IFN-gamma was significantly suppressed (measured for E7 and E9 exposures only, P<0.05) among lead treated groups when compared with controls. Macrophage production of nitric oxide (measured as nitrite production) was significantly depressed (P<0.05) following E5, E7, and E9 lead exposures but not following E12 lead exposure. In contrast with this pattern, DTH function was unaltered following the E5, E7, and E9 exposures, but was significantly depressed (P<0.05) after E12 exposure to lead. Since the same lead dose (200 microg/egg) given at E9 and E12 produced the same blood and bone lead levels and resulted in a different outcome regarding DTH function, the capacity of lead to influence DTH function appeared to emerge between days 9 and 12 of in ovo development. Based on these results, it is hypothesized that lead exposure during different windows of embryonic development is likely to result in different immunotoxic outcomes in the juvenile.

Hepatitis C disease among injection drug users: knowledge, perceived risk and willingness to receive treatment.

Stein MD, Maksad J, Clarke J.

We surveyed 306 former injection drug users receiving methadone maintenance treatment in 1997-1998 in Providence, RI regarding, (1) knowledge of hepatitis C transmission; (2) the concordance of self-knowledge of hepatitis C virus (HCV) status versus actual status; (3) perceived risk of cirrhosis; and (4) willingness to receive therapy for hepatitis C. The seroprevalence of HCV was 87%. While 77% of participants knew that HCV could be sexually transmitted, 30% did not know that condoms are protective against transmission. Thirty of 45 persons who reported they were HCV seronegative were actually seropositive; 51 of 62 persons (82%) who reported they had never been HCV tested or did not know their HCV status were serologically HCV-positive. Over half of respondents (53%) would "definitely" or "probably" use interferon therapy for viral hepatitis when informed of the risks and benefits of treatment. We found significant gaps in knowledge about HCV among IDUs. Serologic confirmation of HCV status is important among drug users, as self-report of HCV infection is often unreliable. This population, with its high prevalence of HCV, may be interested in treatments that include interferon.

Loss of hair changes the appearance of a person, and the identity of the person in social context to a certain extent. Hair growth is a complex biological process, which has not yet been completely understood. A multitude of therapeutic measures, including drugs, surgery, and suppelements have been made available, and used. However, due to the diversity of the problems underlying hair loss, there is no single solution for all hair loss cases. Most of chemical drugs and hair transplantation surgeries are not free from varying degrees of undesirable side effects on health.

Hair Million is an alternative solution to hair loss problems. Albeit only anecdotally, it has demonstrated efficacy in the improvement for age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a significant fraction of people who take it as recommended. We do not know the mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million works to help stop hair loss, and promote hair growth. We only know by anecdotal observations. There has been no clinical trials nor placebo controlled statistical analysis.
