Abstract
The cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1) appears to play a pivotal role in the orchestration of brain-mediated, nonspecific illness symptoms during an infection. In the present study, we examine the possibility that IL-1 is produced in the central nervous system itself, which may be responsible for the induction of brain-mediated responses. Using immunocytochemical techniques, we demonstrated that peripheral administration of bacterial endotoxin to rats caused a time- (1.5-24 hr) and dose-dependent (4 micrograms/kg-2.5 mg/kg) induction of IL 1 beta immunoreactivity in cells identified as macrophages in meninges and choroid plexus and microglial cells in various brain regions. At 8 hr after endotoxin (2.5 mg/kg), immunoreactive IL-1 alpha was observed in the same areas and cell types as IL-1 beta. Although no quantitative measurements have been performed, it appears that fewer cells express immunoreactive IL-1 alpha than IL-1 beta. Furthermore, IL-1ra was found to be constitutively expressed in neurons in the paraventricular nucleus and supraoptic nucleus, which is in accordance with mRNA data. After administration of endotoxin, we observed no additional cells that expressed immunoreactive IL-1ra. We conclude that IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta production in the brain is induced in the same cell types, whereas IL-1ra is expressed constitutively by a different cell type--probably neurons.

Abstract
Extensive studies on protective immunity to rodent malaria provided the basis for the current experiments in which mice were immunized with recombinant (re) influenza and vaccinia viruses expressing selected sequences of the circumsporozoite (CS) protein of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Mice of different H-2 haplotypes immunized with re influenza viruses expressing the immunodominant B cell epitope of this CS protein produced high titers of antibodies to the parasite. A cytotoxic T lymphocyte epitope of the CS protein of P. falciparum, PF3, recognized by CD8+ T cells of H-2(k) mice, was expressed in a re vaccinia virus (VacPf) and a re influenza virus (FluPf). Immunization of mice with either FluPf or VacPf elicited a modest CS-specific CD8+ T cell response detected by interferon gamma secretion of individual immune cells. Priming of mice with FluPf, followed by a booster with VacPf, resulted in a striking enhancement of this T cell response. The reverse protocol, i.e., priming with VacPf followed by a booster with FluPf, failed to enhance the primary response. VacPf also greatly enhanced the primary response of mice injected with P. falciparum sporozoites or with a lipopeptide containing PF3. A booster with FluPf also amplified the response of lipopeptide- or sporozoite-primed mice but less than a VacPf booster did. Although mice are not susceptible to infection by P. falciparum sporozoites, we demonstrated that administration of two distinct immunogens expressing PF3 elicited activated, extravasating CS-specific T cells that protected against an intracerebral VacPf challenge.

Abstract
Inflammatory cytokines (interleukin [IL]-1 and tumor necrosis factor [TNF]) have specific inhibitors (IL-1 receptor antagonist [IL-1Ra] and TNF-soluble receptors), the concentration of which can indicate activation and regulation of this system. We measured IL-1 and IL-1Ra in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of HIV-infected patients and seronegative controls. High IL-1Ra concentrations were found in samples from patients with opportunistic meningoencephalitis, even in the presence of normal cell count and protein content, not in samples from patients with leucoencephalopathies or controls. Therefore, IL-1Ra appears to be a sensitive marker of inflammation in the central nervous system. In contradistinction to previous results obtained from blood measurement, IL-1alpha and IL-1beta remained below detectable levels in all cases, suggesting that IL-1 may be regulated differently in the central nervous system and in the blood.

Abstract
Experimental and clinical studies suggest that the central and peripheral benzodiazepine (BDZ) receptors together with their ligands form the molecular basis of a novel regulatory network that contributes to the effects of anxiety on immune status. The peripheral-type receptors located on phagocytes and glial cells appear to play a key role in mediating the effects of endogenous and exogenous BDZs both on the defence mechanisms that protect the host against pathogens and on inflammatory reactions that take place within the periphery and the brain in response to injury. In addition, the central-type receptor, which forms part of the gamma-aminobutyric acidA receptor complex, may contribute to the regulation of T-cell function by modulating the activity of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical axis or the sympathoadrenal system or both, which, in turn, exert a significant effect on immune function. Thus, anxiogenic BDZs in general suppress the immune response, whereas anxiolytic BDZs may protect the individual from stress-induced immunosuppression.

Abstract
Approaches to improve the efficacy of the current (killed) influenza virus vaccines include the generation of cold-adapted and genetically engineered influenza viruses containing specific attenuating mutations. It is hoped that these genetically altered viruses, in which the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase genes from circulating strains have been incorporated by reassortment, can be used as safe live influenza virus vaccines to induce a long-lasting protective immune response in humans. In addition, genetically engineered influenza viruses may provide a means for expressing foreign antigens. Immunization of mice with recombinant influenza and vaccinia viruses expressing specific antigens of Plasmodium yoelii resulted in a dramatic protective immune response against malaria in this model. Mice immunized with recombinant influenza viruses expressing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epitopes generated long-lasting HIV-specific serum antibodies and secretory IgA in the secretory nasal, vaginal, and intestinal mucosa. These results suggest that genetically engineered influenza viruses may be developed for use as live virus vaccines against influenza as well as other diseases.

Abstract
The immunogenicity of a recombinant replication defective adenovirus expressing a major malaria Ag, the circumsporozoite (CS) protein (AdPyCS), was determined using a rodent malaria model. A single immunizing dose of this construct induced a large number of CS-specific CD8+ and CD4+ T cells in the spleens of these animals, particularly when given by the s.c. or i.m. route. A single dose of AdPyCS also induced high titers of Abs to Plasmodium yoelii sporozoites in mice. No other form of presentation of the CS protein given as a single immunizing dose, i.e., irradiated sporozoites, recombinant vaccinia, or influenza virus, etc., elicits comparably high numbers of CS-specific CD8+ T cells. The high concentration of CS-specific CD8+ T cells in the spleen was relatively short-lived, decreasing to half of its original value by 4 wk and to one-third at 8 wk after AdPyCS inoculation. The decrease in splenic CS-specific CD4+ T cells was even more rapid. Most importantly, a single dose of inoculation of AdPyCS into mice rendered them highly resistant to sporozoite challenge, resulting in a 93% inhibition of liver stage development of the parasites. This protective effect was primarily mediated by CD8+ T cells, as shown by depletion of this T cell population, while depletion of the CD4+ T cell population had only a minor effect on anti-plasmodial activity. Moreover, the inoculation of mice with AdPyCS induces sterile immunity in a significant proportion of mice, preventing the occurrence of parasitemia.

Abstract
Infection of human monocytes with human immunodeficiency virus type (HIV-1 LAI) triggers the release of both the cytokine tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and its soluble receptor (TNFsr). In the present study, the authors have investigated the cellular events implicated in the modulation of expression and shedding of the monocyte TNF receptor induced by HIV-1 LAI. Release of TNFsr75 was triggered at an early step of interaction of the virus particles with the monocyte, involving the envelope glycoprotein gp120. HIV-1 LAI induced an upregulation of TNFr75 mRNA, whereas TNFr55 mRNA was not detectable. TNFsr75 release required exocytosis, proteolytic cleavage by serine protease(s), but was independent of prior endocytosis of the receptor. Early shedding of TNFr75 accounted for the almost total but transient disappearance of the membrane TNF receptor P75, observed 60 min after activation with HIV-1 LAI, whereas internalization was minimal. Endogenous TNF-alpha had no role in the disappearance of its own receptor. Complete and stable restoration of TNFr expression at the cell membrane, dependent on de novo protein synthesis, occurred after 5 h, followed by massive TNFsr75 release. These results demonstrate that interaction of human monocytes with HIV-1 LAI triggers at an early stage a cascade of cellular events that lead to profound remodeling of the cell TNFr pool. Understanding the mechanisms of these receptor movements is of importance to document the central role of the TNF system in HIV infection.

Abstract
In this study we characterized the CD4+ T cell response directed against two distinct epitopes located in the circumsporozoite (CS) protein of Plasmodium yoelii. The immunization of mice with P. yoelii sporozoites induced CD4+ T cells which were mostly directed against one of these peptides, Py-1, previously reported to contain a CD4+ epitope. The CD4+ T cells directed against this immunodominant epitope were mostly of the Th-1 type. Another newly identified peptide, AS44, induced a specific CD4+ T cell response, which was mainly detectable after immunization with the corresponding peptide. Several CD4+ T cell clones, recognizing this epitope, were generated and their lymphokine expression was characterized, as well as their surface markers and their anti-parasite activity in vivo. It was noteworthy that some of these CD4+ T cell clones, which recognize this cryptic epitope and were of different Th subtypes, were shown to have a strong inhibitory effect on the development of liver stages of malaria parasites.

Abstract
We characterized the in vivo primary and secondary murine CD8+ T cell responses induced by immunization with influenza and vaccinia viruses, which were engineered to express the same H-2K(k)- and H-2K(d)-restricted epitopes. Our results show that the induction and magnitude of the primary CD8+ T cell response closely depends on the viral dose used for immunization, while it is not affected by the route of immunization. The induction of secondary CD8+ T cell responses appears to be highly restricted, as suggested by the lack of in vivo expansion of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells after repeated immunization with the same virus. In contrast, a 20- to 30-fold increase in the frequency of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells could be induced after combined immunization with recombinant influenza and vaccinia viruses. These findings may provide the basis for the development of new prophylactic and therapeutic strategies to prevent or control intracellular infections and certain malignancies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine serum levels of the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), together with cytokines, other cytokine inhibitors and markers of immune activation in HIV-infected patients. METHODS Sixty-one HIV-patients were classified into Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) groups A (n = 14), B (n = 14) and C (n = 33). Serum levels of IL-1Ra, IL-1 beta, IL-6, tumour necrosis factor (TNF-alpha, TNF soluble receptors (TNF-sR) and IL-2sR were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. CD4+ cell counts, p24 antigen, immunoglobulin (Ig) A, beta 2-microglobulin, triglycerides and neopterin were measured according to standard procedures. Weight variation was measured as the percentage of baseline weight lost or gained during the 3 months before sampling. RESULTS Serum levels of IL-1Ra were significantly elevated in HIV-infected patients, compared with control subjects (S47 +/- 104 and 133 +/- 7 pg/ml), but did not vary significantly with the HIV disease stage, CD4+ cell count or p24 antigenaemia. IL-1Ra levels correlated with IL-1 beta (P < 0.005), IL-6 (P < 0.0001) and TNF-sR55 (P < 0.0001) levels, but not with those of TNF-alpha, TNF-sR75, IL-2sR, neopterin or IgA. IL-1 Ra and IL-1 Ra/IL-1 beta ratio were the only parameters significantly elevated (R = -0.67, P < 0.0001) in the HIV-infected patients with marked weight loss (n = 12; mean of weight variation, -13.9 +/- 2.1% relative to the other patients, regardless of HIV disease stage and opportunistic infections. CONCLUSIONS IL-1Ra levels are significantly elevated in HIV infected patients, independently of immune deficiency. We propose that IL-1Ra accumulates in intense systemic inflammation, a state which does not seem to be reflected by the elevation of a single cytokine or the activation at a single cell system and which is correlated with marked weight loss.

Abstract
A model antigen, ovalbumin (OVA), was encapsulated in microspheres prepared from derivatized alpha-amino acids and administered orally to mice. These microspheres are quickly and easily prepared, without the use of organic solvents, high temperatures, or complex purification techniques. Immunological responses included induction of OVA-specific antibodies in both sera (IgG) and in intestinal secretions (sIgA), as well as antigen-dependent proliferation of splenic CD4+ T cells following, in some cases, as little as a single oral priming dose containing 0.1 mg OVA. Oral administration of microspheres was also found to be effective as a secondary immunization following a subcutaneous prime with soluble antigen. In addition, the protective effect of co-encapsulation of cholera toxin, a mucosal adjuvant, was demonstrated in a whole virus model (infectious bursal disease in chickens). These results indicate that oral administration of antigen-loaded derivatized alpha-amino acid microspheres can induce local and systemic antibody production and/or stimulation of effector cells.

Abstract
Six murine T cell clones expressing gamma delta TCR were generated from malaria immunized, alpha beta T cell-deficient mice. Phenotypic characterization of these clones has revealed that, in contrast to conventional alpha beta T cells, there is a considerable degree of heterogeneity among these gamma delta clones with regard to their surface markers and their lymphokine profile. One clone was found to display significant anti-parasite activity in vivo upon adoptive transfer. We attempted to determine whether the protective clone differs in one or more key characteristics from the non-protective clones. Although no obvious pattern peculiar to the protective gamma delta clone was observed, it appears that more than one parameter may, in combination, define a distinct protective phenotype, and thus explain the functional difference between the protective and non-protective gamma delta clones.

Abstract
We determined the time-course of the production of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) after fluid-percussion injury using a bioassay. Biophasic production of TGF-beta composed mainly of TGF-beta 2 was detected in the ipsilateral cortex, with a first peak 30 min and a second peak 48 h after the lesion, flanking the transient production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6 occurring between 5 and 18 h after trauma. This temporal pattern suggested that TGF-beta plays alternatively a pro- and anti-inflammatory role in the regulation of the brain cytokine network in response to injury, providing an endogenous mechanism for the control of the inflammatory reaction in traumatic brain injury.

Abstract
Interaction of HIV with cultured human monocytes triggers not only cytokine production but also the release of natural cytokine inhibitors such as the soluble TNF receptors, levels of which are increased in the circulation of HIV-infected patients. We found that HIV-1 LAI induced the production by human monocytes from HIV-seronegative donors of another type cytokine inhibitor, the IL-1Ra receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra). HIV mainly induced the secreted form (83%) of IL-1Ra through de novo mRNA synthesis. IL-1Ra production was triggered at an early step of the infection process and involved the HIV envelope protein and the CD4 receptor. HIV-triggered IL-1Ra production occurred after a lag time, suggesting an indirect mechanism. Neutralizing Abs to IL-1 beta and IL-10 had no effect, while simultaneous treatment with anti-TNF-alpha, anti-granulocyte-macrophage CSF, and anti-TGF-beta nearly abrogated IL-1Ra release, supporting an indirect induction through the concerted action of the co-produced cytokines. IL-1Ra was induced by HIV in a mean 1,000-fold increase over IL-1 alpha beta, a ratio 20-fold higher than that obtained with LPS. This production masked 80% of IL-1 bioactivity in HIV-induced monocyte supernatants. These results suggest that the net balance between pro-inflammatory cytokines and their natural inhibitors could be critical in the control of the inflammatory process associated with HIV infection.

Abstract
The V gamma 5/V delta 1(+)-T-cell receptor (TCR)-bearing T-cell clone, 2CBET-3, was generated from C57BL/6 mice. Upon stimulation, 2CBET-3 cells produce interleukin (IL)-3, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, but not IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, macrophage colony-stimulating factor, or interferon-gamma. These cells were evaluated for their ability to be stimulated by a variety of murine cell lines, including fibroblasts, trophoblasts, melanoma cells, embryonic carcinomas, B-cell lymphomas, mastocytoma cells, and keratinocytes. The human B-lymphoma cell line, Daudi, also was included in these studies. We found that 2CBET-3 cells produced cytokines up to several hundredfold above the control levels in response to the B-cell lines, Daudi, and A20/2J, but not to the B-cell line 439.4.2. After fixation with glutaraldehyde, Daudi and A20/2J continued to stimulate this gamma delta T-cell line. 2CBET-3 cells also responded to the keratinocyte line PAM212, but not to another, XB-2. When lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from Escherichia coli or S. typhimurium were added to 2CBET-3 cells in the presence of A20/2J cells, 2CBET-3 cells responded with increased cytokine production compared with the cytokine production in the presence of A20/2J cells alone. 2CBET-3 cells by themselves did not respond to LPS alone or to supernatants from A20/2J cells incubated with LPS. Unlike 2CBET-3, the epidermal T-cell hybridoma 70BET-49, expressing a V gamma 5/V delta 1-TCR identical to that of 2CBET-3, did not respond to A20/2J cells in the presence or absence of LPS, suggesting a requirement for molecules other than the TCR for V gamma 5/V delta 1-TCR+ T-cell stimulation by the B-cell lines and by LPS. This unique reactivity of gamma delta-TCR+ cells is different from that of alpha beta-TCR+ cells and may reflect a functional specialization of gamma delta-TCR+ cells in the response to bacterial infections.

Abstract
After an introduction on the entry and lifestyle of Listeria monocytogenes within mammalian eucaryotic cells, this chapter gives a brief overview of murine experimental listeriosis. Among the main characteristics of this murine model of infectious/pathogenic processes initiated by a facultative intracellular bacteria, we point out two main recent advances. One relates to Listeria monocytogenes-induced production of cytokines as local, and transient signals able to direct the immune responses along a type 1 pathway of CD4/CD8 T cell differentiation. The other relates (a) to the recognition of L. monocytogenes-reactive CD8+ T lymphocytes as effectors able, once recruited within infected loci, to critically contribute to the complete clearance of the bacteria, and (b) to the recently recognized specificity of some of these CD8 lymphocytes in BALB/c mice. In this paper, we also briefly review (a) the readout assays presently used to monitor the outcome of the infectious/pathogenic processes and the related development and expression of immune responses induced by intravenous inoculation of wild-type virulent or attenuated L. Monocytogenes, (b) why all this information allows us to consider the use of L monocytogenes of attenuated virulence as relevant live recombinant vectors in order to deliver heterologous proteins to the class I processing and presentation pathway, and to induce CD8 T cells along the type 1 pathway.

Abstract
IFN-gamma receptor deficient (IFN-gamma R-/-) mice, immunized with different developmental stages of malaria parasites, were used to define the mechanisms of protection against the various stages of this infection. IFN-gamma R-/- mice failed to develop protective immunity against Plasmodium yoelii sporozoites or liver stages, upon immunization with a single dose of irradiated sporozoites, whereas in immunized wild-type mice, parasite development was strongly inhibited. Immunized wild-type mice expressed high levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA in their liver, upon challenge with viable sporozoites, whereas only background levels of iNOS were detected in immunized IFN-gamma R-/- mice. In contrast, after immunization with multiple doses of irradiated sporozoites, both IFN-gamma R-/- and wild-type mice mounted an immune response, which strongly inhibited the development of liver stage parasites. In both types of mice, protection occurred in the absence of appreciable expression of liver iNOS mRNA. As for the course of the erythrocytic phase of infection by nonlethal malaria species, P. yoelii yoelii and P. chabaudi adami, we observed only a moderately prolonged parasitemia in IFN-gamma R-/- mice compared with wild-type mice, indicating that IFN-gamma may only play a modest role in immunity against erythrocytic stages. These results indicate that IFN-gamma is the main mediator of the protective mechanism that develops first upon immunization with sporozoites. However, the nature of the anti-parasite mechanism(s) changes in the course of immunization, so that multiple immunizing doses elicit additional protective mechanisms, which are independent of IFN-gamma and its receptor.

Abstract
An ELISPOT assay to detect and determine the number of antigen specific CD8+ T cells was standardized using cloned murine CD8+ T cells specific for the epitope SYVPSAEQI of a rodent malaria antigen. This assay is based on the detection of IFN-gamma secretion by single cells after their stimulation with antigen. The interferon secretion is visualized as spots revealed by using enzyme labeled anti-IFN-gamma monoclonal antibodies. Using known numbers of cloned murine CD8+ T cells it was determined that the assay detects 80-95% of these CD8+ T cells. The optimal culture conditions for the stimulation of the CD8+ T cells were determined and the antigen concentration, number of antigen presenting cells and supplement of growth factors required to perform the assay were defined. This ELISPOT assay can be performed with spleen cells from immunized mice, and provide the precise number of antigen specific CD8+ T cells present in mixed lymphocyte populations. This method is more sensitive than the chromium-51 release assay, and much simpler than the conventional precursor frequency analysis, providing the number of antigen specific CD8+ T cells in 36-48 h.
