Abstract
ABSTRACT T-cell bispecific antibodies (T-BsAbs) such as blinatumomab hold great promise for cancer immunotherapy. A better understanding of the in vivo immune response induced by T-BsAbs is crucial to improving their efficacy and safety profile. However, such efforts are hindered by the limitations of current preclinical models. To address this, we developed a syngeneic murine model with humanized CD3 and target antigen (CD20). This model enables the development of disseminated leukemia with a high tumor burden, which mirrors clinical findings in human patients with relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Treatment of this model with T-BsAbs results in cytokine release syndrome, with cytokine profiles and levels reflecting observations made in human patients. This model also faithfully recapitulates the dynamics of T-cell activation seen in human patients, including the temporary disappearance of T cells from the bloodstream. During this phase, T cells are sequestered in secondary lymphoid organs and undergo activation. Clinical correlative studies that rely primarily on peripheral blood samples are likely to overlook this critical activation stage, leading to a substantial underestimation of the extent of T-cell activation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that surface expression of the T-BsAb target antigen by leukemia cells triggers a swift immune response, promoting their own rejection. Humanizing the target antigen in the recipient mice is crucial to facilitate tolerance induction and successful establishment of high tumor burden. Our findings underscore the importance of meticulously optimized syngeneic murine models for investigating T-BsAb-induced immune responses and for translational research aimed at improving efficacy and safety.

Abstract
T cells form adhesive contacts with antigen-presenting cells (APCs) as part of the normal surveillance process that occurs in lymph nodes and other tissues. Most of these adhesive interactions are formed by integrins that interact with ligands expressed on the surface of the APC. The interactive strength of integrins depends on their degree of membrane proximity as well as intracellular signals that dictate the conformation of the integrin. Integrins appear in different conformations that endow them with different affinities for their ligand(s). Integrin conformation and thus adhesive strength between the T cell and the APC is tuned by intracellular signals that are turned on by ligation of the T cell receptor (TCR) and chemokine receptors. During the different stages of the process, integrins, the TCR and chemokine receptors may be interconnected by the actin cytoskeleton underneath the plasma membrane, forming a chemical and physical network that facilitates the spatiotemporal dynamics, positioning, and function of these receptors and supports cell-cell adhesion during T cell activation, allowing it to perform its effector function.

Abstract
Effector and memory CD4(+) T cells acquire distinct migratory properties depending on the type and location of the immune responses. Due to the highly dynamic nature of T cell circulation, the comprehensive analysis of these migratory routes requires dedicated experimental approaches. Here, we analyse the migration of effector/memory CD4(+) T cells by long-term in vivo cell tracking. We identify a resident population of antigen-experienced CD4(+) T cells that resides in lymph nodes and Peyer's patches without circulation or proliferation. Resident CD4(+) T cells constitute up to 50% of all effector/memory cells, including, but not limited to, follicular helper T cells. Furthermore, these non-circulating T cells possess a distinct T cell receptor repertoire and accumulate in Peyer's patches after continuous oral antigen exposure. Our results provide the first direct evidence for a resident population of effector/memory CD4(+) T cells that is retained in lymphoid tissues.

Abstract
Memory/effector T cells efficiently migrate into extralymphoid tissues and sites of infection, providing immunosurveillance and a first line of defense against invading pathogens. Even though it is a potential means to regulate the size, quality, and duration of a tissue infiltrate, T cell egress from infected tissues is poorly understood. Using a mouse model of influenza A virus infection, we found that CD8 effector T cells egressed from the infected lung in a CCR7-dependent manner. In contrast, following antigen recognition, effector CD8 T cell egress decreased and CCR7 function was reduced in vivo and in vitro, indicating that the exit of CD8 T cells from infected tissues is tightly regulated. Our data suggest that the regulation of T cell egress is a mechanism to retain antigen-specific effectors at the site of infection to promote viral clearance, while decreasing the numbers of bystander T cells and preventing overt inflammation.

Abstract
Egress of lymphocytes from lymphoid tissues is a complex process in which Gαi-mediated signals play a decisive role. We show here that although FTY720, an agonist of the sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P)(1) receptor, induces S1P(1) receptor internalization sufficiently in the presence or absence of Gαi2 or Gαi3, the drug blocks egress of wild-type (WT) and Gαi3-deficent T cells, but not Gαi2-deficient T cells, in both WT and Gαi2-deficient hosts. Intravital imaging of lymph nodes revealed that all three groups of T cells approached and engaged cortical sinusoids similarly in the presence or absence of FTY720. The cells also entered and departed the sinus at an almost identical frequency in the absence of the drug. However, after engagement of the sinus, most WT and Gαi3-deficient T cells retracted and migrated back into the parenchyma in FTY720-treated animals, due to a failure of the cells to establish adhesion on the sinus, whereas Gαi2-deficient T cells adhered firmly on the sinus, which prevented their retraction, facilitating their transmigration of the lymphatic endothelial barrier. These data confirm egress of Gαi2(-/-) T cells independent of S1P-mediated chemotaxis and failure of FTY720 to close lymphatic stromal channels and argue for the first time, to our knowledge, that FTY720 induces lymphopenia in part by impairing T cell adhesion to the sinus in a manner dependent on Gαi2.

Abstract
The immune system is unique in representing a network of interacting cells of enormous complexity and yet being based on single cells travelling around the body. The development of effective and regulated immunity relies upon co-ordinated migration of each cellular component, which is regulated by diverse signals provided by the tissue. Co-ordinated migration is particularly relevant to the recirculation of primed T cells, which, while performing continuous immune surveillance, need to promptly localize to antigenic sites, reside for a time sufficient to carry out their effector function and then efficiently leave the tissue to avoid bystander damage. Recent advances that have helped to clarify a number of key molecular mechanisms underlying the complexity and efficiency of memory T-cell trafficking, including antigen-dependent T-cell trafficking, the regulation of T-cell motility by costimulatory molecules, T-cell migration out of target tissue and fugetaxis, are reviewed in this article.

Abstract
This study investigated how CD8(+) T cell subsets respond to allo- and infectious immunity after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Early alloimmunity: 56 recipients were classified into three types according to the post-transplant course; type I demonstrated uneventful post-transplant course, type II developed severe sepsis leading to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome or retransplantation and type III with acute rejection. In 23 type I recipients, the interleukin (IL)-12 receptor beta-1 (R beta 1)(+) cells of central memory T cells (Il-12R beta 1(+) T(CM)) were increased above the pretransplant level. In 16 type II recipients, IL-12R beta 1(+) T(CM) was decreased markedly below the pretransplant level on postoperative day (POD) 5. In 17 type III recipients, IL-12R beta 1(+) T(CM) was decreased for a more prolonged period until POD 10. Along with down-regulation of IL-12R beta 1(+) T(CM), the IL-12R beta 1(+) cells of CCR7-negative subsets (CNS) as well as perforin, interferon (IFN)-gamma and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha decreased gradually, resulting in the down-regulation of effectors and cytotoxicity. The down-regulation of IL-12R beta 1(+) T(CM) was suggested to be due to the recruitment of alloantigen-primed T cells into the graft, and then their entry into the secondary lymphoid organ, resulting in graft destruction. Infectious immunity: immunocompetent memory T cells with the capacity to enhance effectors and cytotoxicity were generated in response to post-transplant infection along with both up-regulation of the IL-12R beta 1(+) T(CM) and an increase in the CNS showing the highest level of IL-12R beta 1(+) cells. In conclusion, this work demonstrated that the IL-12R beta 1(+) cells of T(CM) and CNS are regulated in a tightly coupled manner and that expression levels of IL-12R beta 1(+) T(CM) play a crucial role in controlling allo- and infectious immunity.

Abstract
Cellular infiltration is a classic hallmark of inflammation. Whereas the role of T cells in many types of inflammation is well established, the specific impact of antigen recognition on their migration into the site and on the accumulation of other effector cells are still matters of debate. Using a model of an inflammatory effector phase driven by T-cell receptor (TCR) transgenic T cells, we found (i) that antigen-specific T cells play a crucial role as 'pioneer cells' that condition the tissue for enhanced recruitment of further T effector cells and other leucocytes, and (ii) that the infiltration of T cells is not dependent on antigen specificity. We demonstrate that a small number of antigen-specific T cells suffice to initiate a cascade of cellular immigration into the antigen-loaded site. Although antigen drives this process, accumulation of T cells in the first few days of inflammation was not dependent on T-cell reactivity to the antigen. Both transgenic and wild-type T effector cells showed enhanced immigration into the site of antigen challenge after the initial arrival and activation of antigen-specific pioneer cells. This suggests that bystander accumulation of non-specific effector/memory T cells is a general feature in inflammation. Furthermore, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interferon (IFN)-gamma were identified as mediators that contribute to conditioning of the inflammatory site for high-rate accumulation of T effector cells in this T-cell-driven model.

Abstract
A successful immune response depends on the capacity of immune cells to travel from one location in the body to another–these cells are rapid migrators, travelling at speeds of μm/minute. Their ability to penetrate into tissues and to make contacts with other cells depends chiefly on the β2 integrin known as LFA-1. For this reason, we describe the control of its activity in some detail. For the non-immunologist, the fine details of an immune response often seem difficult to fathom. However, the behaviour of immune cells, known as leukocytes (Box 1), is subject to the same biological rules as many other cell types, and this holds true particularly for the functioning of the integrins on these cells. In this Commentary, we highlight, from a cell-biology point of view, the integrin-mediated immune-cell migration and cell-cell interactions that occur during the course of an immune response.

Abstract
The mechanism by which sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor-1 (S1P1) acts to promote lymphocyte egress from lymphoid organs is not defined. Here, we showed that CCR7-deficient T cells left lymph nodes more rapidly than wild-type cells did, whereas CCR7-overexpressing cells were retained for longer. After treatment with FTY720, an agonist that causes downmodulation of lymphocyte S1P1, CCR7-deficient T cells were less effectively retained than wild-type T cells. Moreover, treatment with pertussis toxin to inactivate signaling via G alpha i-protein-coupled receptors restored egress competence to S1P1-deficient lymphocytes. We also found that T cell accumulation in lymph node cortical sinusoids required intrinsic S1P1 expression and was antagonized by CCR7. These findings suggest a model where S1P1 acts in the lymphocyte to promote lymph node egress by overcoming retention signals mediated by CCR7 and additional G alpha i-coupled receptors. Furthermore, by simultaneously upregulating S1P1 and downregulating CCR7, T cells that have divided multiple times switch to a state favoring egress over retention.

Abstract
A successful immune response depends on the migration of lymphocytes into lymph nodes or inflamed tissues where they make contact with antigen-presenting cells. We are interested in how one member of the integrin family, leukocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1), controls the function and, in particular, the migration of immune cells. We find that this integrin operates not only as an adhesion receptor for T lymphoblasts (T cells) but also induces their migration in vitro at approximately 15 microm/min. Migration requires active myosin light chain kinase at the leading edge and Rho kinase at the trailing edge of the cell. Two active conformations of LFA-1 are differently distributed on the T-cell membrane and regulate independent aspects of migration. High-affinity LFA-1 is located in a midcell 'focal zone' and influences the speed of migration, whereas intermediate affinity LFA-1 controls leading edge adhesions. Manipulating LFA-1 conformation in vivo can be performed, for example, by creating the active conformation in a transgenic mouse, and this model gives further insight into the role of LFA-1 in migration. In humans, the beneficial effect of functioning CD18 integrins in combating infections in vivo is illustrated by rare patients displaying two forms of leukocyte adhesion deficiency. In summary, we speculate that T cells have evolved a mode of rapid migration that is of paramount importance in achieving the high-speed immune surveillance upon which depends the body's protection against diverse invaders from pathogens to cancer cells.

Abstract
The immunomodulatory drug FTY720 interferes with sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor signaling leading to lymphocyte retention in secondary lymphoid organs and consequently to profound lymphopenia in the peripheral blood. The molecular mechanisms transduced by S1P receptors upon being triggered by its native ligand, S1P, or by FTY720, are largely unknown. In this study we analyze the role of beta2 and beta7 integrin and their ligands ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and MadCAM-1 on lymphocyte homing in the presence of FTY720. We demonstrate that this drug facilitates homing of lymphocytes single-deficient of either beta2 or beta7 integrin but not of beta2-deficient lymphocytes, which in addition were blocked by anti-beta7 integrin Abs. Enhanced lymphocyte homing is preceded by increased adherence of integrin-deficient as well as wild-type lymphocytes to high endothelial venules (HEV) in FTY720-treated animals. Elevated adherence to HEV requires intact lymphocyte Galphai signaling that cannot be stably imprinted on lymphocytes even after prolonged exposure to FTY720. Thus, FTY720 influences lymphocyte homeostasis not only by suppressing lymphocyte egress from lymph nodes but also by facilitating lymphocyte homing across HEV in an integrin-dependent fashion.

Abstract
CD4(+) T-cell entry to the intestinal mucosa is central to the generation of mucosal immunity as well as chronic intestinal inflammation, yet the mechanisms regulating this process remain poorly defined. Here we show that murine small intestinal CD4(+) lamina propria lymphocytes express a heterogeneous but restricted array of chemokine receptors including CCR5, CCR6, CCR9, CXCR3, and CXCR6. CD4(+) T-cell receptor transgenic OT-II cells activated in mesenteric lymph nodes acquired a distinct chemokine receptor profile, including expression of CCR6, CCR9, and CXCR3 that was only partially reproduced in vitro after priming with mesenteric lymph node dendritic cells. A subset of these effector CD4(+) T cells, expressing CD69 and alpha(4)beta(7), entered the intestinal lamina propria and the majority of these cells expressed CCR9. CCR9(-/-) OT-II cells were disadvantaged in their ability to localize to the intestinal lamina propria; however, they were readily detected at this site and expressed alpha(4)beta(7), but little CCR2, CCR5, CCR6, CCR8, CCR10, CXCR3, or CXCR6. Thus, whereas CD4(+) T cells activated in gut-associated lymphoid tissue express a restricted chemokine receptor profile, including CCR9, targeting both CCR9-dependent and CCR9-independent entry mechanisms is likely to be important to maximally inhibit accumulation of these cells within the small intestinal mucosa.

Abstract
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a biologically active lysophospholipid that transmits signals through a family of G-protein-coupled receptors to control cellular differentiation and survival, as well as the vital functions of several types of immune cell. In this Review article, we discuss recent results that indicate that S1P and its receptors are required for the emigration of thymocytes from the thymus, the trafficking of lymphocytes in secondary lymphoid organs and the migration of B cells into splenic follicles. In an autocrine manner, through interactions with different G-protein-coupled receptors, S1P also enhances optimal mast-cell migration and release of pro-inflammatory mediators in allergic reactions. S1P-S1P-receptor regulatory systems might therefore be novel targets for the therapy of diverse immunological diseases.

Abstract
Lymphocytes travel throughout the body to carry out immune surveillance and participate in inflammatory reactions. Their path takes them from blood through tissues into lymph and back to blood. Molecules that control lymphocyte recruitment into extralymphoid tissues are well characterized, but exit is assumed to be random. Here, we showed that lymphocyte emigration from the skin was regulated and was sensitive to pertussis toxin. CD4(+) lymphocytes emigrated more efficiently than CD8(+) or B lymphocytes. T lymphocytes in the afferent lymph expressed functional chemokine receptor CCR7, and CCR7 was required for T lymphocyte exit from the skin. The regulated expression of CCR7 by tissue T lymphocytes may control their exit, acting with recruitment mechanisms to regulate lymphocyte transit and accumulation during immune surveillance and inflammation.

Abstract
Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P1) was recently shown to be required for lymphocyte egress from lymphoid organs. Here we have examined the relationship between S1P1 abundance on the cell and egress efficiency. Using an integrin neutralization approach to separate the processes of entry and exit, we show that pertussis toxin treatment reduces lymphocyte egress from lymph nodes. Retrovirally mediated S1P1 overexpression is sufficient to reduce B cell accumulation in the splenic white pulp and to promote egress of activated T cells from lymph nodes, whereas S1P1+/−cells have reduced lymph node exit efficiency. Furthermore, lymphocyte S1P1 is down-regulated in the blood, up-regulated in lymphoid organs, and down-regulated again in the lymph. We propose that cyclical ligand-induced modulation of S1P1 on circulating lymphocytes contributes to establishing their lymphoid organ transit time.
