Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a method for constructing models of aspects of human immunity and, in particular, construction of a human immune system model for testing of vaccines, adjuvants, immunotherapy candidates, cosmetics, drugs, biologies, and other chemicals.
- the body's distributed immune system can be roughly divided into four distinct compartments: tissues and blood, mucosal tissues, body cavities, and skin. Because of ease of study, most is known about the tissue and blood compartment and its lymphoid tissues, the spleen and lymph nodes.
- the mammalian immune system uses two general mechanisms to protect the body against environmental pathogens.
- the immune system recognizes and responds to structural differences between self and non-self proteins. Proteins that the immune system recognizes as non-self are referred to as antigens.
- Pathogens typically express large numbers of complex antigens. When a pathogen-derived molecule is encountered, the immune response becomes activated to enable protection against that pathogenic organism.
- the first immune system mechanism is the non-specific (or innate) inflammatory response.
- the innate immune system appears to recognize specific molecules that are present on pathogens but not on the body itself.
- the second immune system mechanism is the specific or acquired (or adaptive) immune response; acquired immunity is mediated by specialized immune cells called B and T lymphocytes (or simply B and T cells). Acquired immunity has specific memory for antigenic structures; repeated exposure to the same antigen increases the response, which increases the level of induced protection against that particular pathogen. Whereas innate responses are fundamentally the same for each injury or infection, acquired responses are custom-tailored to the pathogen in question.
- the acquired immune system evolves a specific immunoglobulin (antibody) response to many different molecules present in the pathogen, called antigens.
- TCR T cell receptors
- MHC major histocompatibility complex
- APCs antigen-presenting cells
- DCs dendritic cells
- B cells produce and mediate their functions through the actions of antibodies.
- B cell-dependent immune responses are referred to as "humoral immunity,” because antibodies are found in body fluids.
- T cell-dependent immune responses are referred to as “cell-mediated immunity,” because effector activities are mediated directly by the local actions of effector T cells.
- the local actions of effector T cells are amplified through synergistic interactions between T cells and secondary effector cells, such as activated macrophages. The result is that the pathogen is killed and prevented from causing diseases.
- the functional element of mammalian secondary lymphoid tissues, including lymph nodes, is the follicle, which develops a germinal center (GC) when stimulated by an antigen.
- the GC is an active area within a lymph node, where important interactions occur in the development of an effective humoral immune response.
- antigen stimulation follicles are replicated and an active human lymph node may have dozens of active follicles, with functioning GCs. Interactions between B cells, T cells, and FDCs take place in GCs.
- FDCs are involved in stimulating B cell proliferation with mitogens and it can also be demonstrated with antigen (Ag), promoting production of antibodies including recall antibody responses, producing chemokines that attract B cells and certain populations of T cells, immunoglobulin class switching, somatic hypermutation, selection of high affinity B cells, promoting production of high affinity antibodies, and blocking apoptosis of B cells.
- antigen Ag
- chemokines that attract B cells and certain populations of T cells
- somatic hypermutation selection of high affinity B cells
- selection of high affinity B cells promoting production of high affinity antibodies, and blocking apoptosis of B cells.
- vaccines function by initiating an innate immune response at the vaccination site and activating antigen-specific T and B cells that can give rise to long term memory cells in secondary lymphoid tissues.
- the precise interactions of the vaccine with cells at the vaccination site and with T and B cells of the lymphoid tissues are important to the ultimate success of the vaccine.

- immune cells refers to peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs), or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).
- PBLs peripheral blood lymphocytes
- PBMCs peripheral blood mononuclear cells
- T cells T cells, B cells, monocytes and dendritic cell precursor.
- immunocompetent refers to the normal bodily capacity to develop an immune response following exposure to an antigen.
- peripheral blood lymphocytes refers to mature lymphocytes (small white immune cells) that are found circulating in the blood as opposed to organs, such as the lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, liver or bone marrow.
- responder refers to the response to a vaccine.
- high, low, and moderate responders are those subjects with high, low, and moderate immunodominant CD4 and CD8 T cell responses and neutralizing B cell (antibody) responses.

- the present invention is directed to methods for constructing models of aspects of human immunity and, in particular, construction of a human immune system model for testing of vaccines, adjuvants, immunotherapy candidates, cosmetics, drugs, biologies and other chemicals.
- the present invention comprises both in vivo and in vitro models of aspects of human immunity that are useful for assessing the interaction of substances with the immune system, and thus can be used to accelerate and improve the accuracy and predictability of, for example, vaccine, drug, biologic, immunotherapy, cosmetic and chemical development.
- the present invention comprises the use of human immune cells in mice that have been irradiated, so as to kill the vast majority of murine lymphocytes.
- Murine FDCs are largely radiation-resistant.
- the present invention comprises human lymphocytes added to an irradiated mouse; the combination of the surviving murine FDCs with the added human lymphocytes provides a model system that can be used for vaccine assessment.
- the present invention provides a system that is cost-effective, rapid, and provides strong responses, because the antigen is directed to the FDCs in follicles that develop germinal centers (GCs) where immune responses normally take place.
- SCID mice lack FDCs and they develop slowly upon exposure to B cells.
- CD4 + T cells and -15 million B cells are apparently sufficient to provide the specific cells necessary for a human anti-OVA primary immune response.
- cells from a person with -200 ng of serum antibody were able to give -500 ng in two weeks when immune complexes were used to load FDCs, while antigen alone failed to induce a detectable response ⁇ see Fig. 16). This difference in responsiveness is important.
- Another difference is that we inject both the immune complexes and human lymphocytes behind the animal's neck from where they flow into draining lymph nodes, rather than into the spleen via the blood.
- this embodiment of the present invention would be suitable for testing responses of human leukocytes to vaccines outside the human body.
- the model of this embodiment provides an in vivo environment, it is also possible to study dose versus toxicity for vaccines and adjuvants.
- the in vivo aspect of this embodiment of the invention could be used for examining dose-dependent toxic effects of immunosuppressive agents, while establishing their ability to inhibit human antibody responses.
- toxic drugs including chemotherapeutics (e.g., for cancer), certain antibiotics, and other chemicals could be studied over a dose range for their impact on humoral immunity in a model human system without risk to human health.
- mice or more can rapidly be set up with leukocytes from about 50 to about 100 or more different individuals and rare problems can be detected using this model, whereas variations in humanized mice models that are currently available are very limited. Specifically, FDCs do not develop in SCID mice and humanized SCID mice would not be expected to work by means of immune complexes being trapped on FDCs, as we demonstrate in this model. Furthermore, in another embodiment this murine system could be used to examine the radiation effects on a human immune system in an in vivo non-human manner.
- human biopsies e.g., tumors
- PBMCs peripheral blood mononuclear cells
- this model could also be adapted to make high-affinity human monoclonal antibodies for therapeutic approaches, and more generally, various human proteins (e.g., type 1 and type 2 interferons, cytokines, such as IL-2, IL-4, IL 12).
- various human proteins e.g., type 1 and type 2 interferons, cytokines, such as IL-2, IL-4, IL 12.
- cytokines such as IL-2, IL-4, IL 12
- the in vivo model of the present invention allows us to examine how many naive B and T cells are necessary to get a primary response.
- timing of the specified immunocyte interactions appears to influence immunological behavior. For example, our results indicate that stronger responses are obtained when T cells are cultured with antigen-pulsed DCs for several days before, allowing the DCs to optimally present the antigen and prime the CD4 + helper T cells.
- B cells are be added to the in vitro antigen-primed T cells. Under physiological conditions within lymph nodes, the generation of antigen-specific T cells by DCs in the paracortex usually occurs before the induction of specific B cell responses in the cortex. The present invention mimics this sequence of events.
- the in vivo model of the present invention is suitable for testing the responses of human cells to vaccines, adjuvants, chemicals, and other drugs outside the human body. Furthermore, because the analysis takes place in vivo, it could be used to examine dose and toxicity effects at the same time. Additionally, disease models can also be included in the mouse to test the efficacy of either therapeutic or prophylactic therapies with regard to infectious disease.
- helper T cells can be used to induce a more robust recall or naive human antigen-specific antibody response in vitro.
- two- and three-way interactions of the key cells (dendritic cells, B cells, T cells) in a defined sequential order are important (i.e., the timing of immunological events leads to stronger in vitro immune responses).
- the murine system of the present invention can also be used as a source of valuable human proteins, including monoclonal antibodies.
- the system could also be used to immunize naive cells from healthy donors with pathogenic threat agents.
- a major advantage of such a mouse model or an in vitro system is that the model system can be exposed to dangerous pathogens and produce human antibodies without risk to a human. It should also be possible to achieve to high affinity antibodies as a consequence of either in vivo or in vitro avidity maturation in the germinal center.
- Germinal centers are rich in certain leukocytes (e.g., B cells, CD4 + T cells, FDCs), whereas other cell types are rich in other microenvironments (lymph node sinuses, deep cortical units, medullary cords: Fig. 1). Such compartmentalization, which is readily apparent in vivo is likely important for immune system function.
- Follicular dendritic cells FDCs are located in the follicles of secondary lymphoid tissue. They possess dendritic morphology, with numerous processes wrapped "spaghetti-like" and "beads" (iccosomes) seen on scanning electron micrographs (e.g., Fig. 2).
- FDCs bind and retain immune complexes (ICs).
- GC cells include FDCs, B cells and CD4 + helper T cells.
- Immune complexes are poorly immunogenic but FDC accessory activity involves presenting the weakly immunogenic ICs in a highly immunogenic form to B cells and providing antigens for B cells to process and present to T cells (schematically illustrated in Fig. 3).
- FDC accessory cell activity is apparently not MHC- or even species-restricted.
- murine FDCs can promote a human immune (IgG) response against tetanus toxoid (TT) after -14 days (Fig. 4).
- IgG human immune
- TT tetanus toxoid
- Fig. 4 Most leukocytes appear to have resting and activated phenotypes; this seems to be true of FDCs too. Consequently, it may be important to activate the FDCs before setting up germinal center reactions.
- FDC-reticula In primary follicles, FDC-reticula can be found by labeling with anti-CRl/2, but Fc ⁇ RIIB, ICAM-I, and VCAM-I levels are very low and difficult to detect. FDCs in secondary follicles (with GCs) bear high levels of Fc ⁇ RIIB, ICAM-I, and VCAM-I and these molecules are involved in converting poorly immunogenic ICs into a highly immunogenic form for B cells and in facilitating FDC-B cell interactions required for optimal FDC accessory activity.
- ICs are added to the FDCs to activate them (upregulation of FcRIIB and adhesion molecules) before addition of lymphocytes.
- FDCs Follicular dendritic cells

- the mouse provides an in vivo model system that enables comparisons with other model systems in vitro.
- Preparation of the mouse model of an embodiment of the present invention comprises: • irradiating mice at 1,000 rad to destroy the murine T and B cells and clear out the lymph nodes. We reason it may be of importance to get rid of as many murine T and B cells as possible, so that human cells flowing through the lymphatics from the site of injection can enter the mouse follicles where a germinal center (GC) could be established. • we then injected -16* 10 6 human red blood cells (RBCs) and PMNs intraperitoneal Iy (i.p.) one day before the lymphocytes, to bind murine antibodies that would otherwise react with human CD4 + T cells and B cells and potentially clear them.
- RBCs human red blood cells
- PMNs intraperitoneal Iy
- Example 2 The model immune system of the present invention can be used in vaccine assessment.
- T cells and B cells can readily be obtained from many human subjects.
- T cells can be primed by exposure to various forms of an experimental vaccine or vaccine formulation and then injected with the B cells into lethally irradiated mice with the vaccine loaded on FDCs in vivo.
- This model immune system can be used to answer many questions including, for example,
- mice were irradiated at 600 rad to destroy the murine T and B cells and clear out the lymph nodes.
- Example 4 Human primary antibody response including class switching and production of specific IgG (T cell priming in vitro with B cell priming and differentiation in vivo).
- Loading ICs on lymph node FDCs provided a germinal center (GC) environment for getting naive B cells to differentiate, class switch, and produce TT-specific IgG.
- GC germinal center
- antigen alone gave no detectible response; antigen will bind specific B cells, but without signals from IC-bearing FDCs in the GCs, the response is too low to detect (column 2), and
- OVA-anti-OVA ICs do nothing to stimulate an anti-TT response (though not shown, OVA-anti-OVA does not induce any anti-OVA either in the absence of any OVA-specific T cell help).
- Example 5 Priming T cells and inducing a primary human IgG response.
- OVA ( ⁇ 5 ⁇ g) + murine anti-OVA (-30 ⁇ g) were complexed (to form OVA ICs) and added to the cells and the mixture was brought up to ⁇ 1 mL.
- OVA ICs OVA + murine anti-OVA (-30 ⁇ g) were complexed (to form OVA ICs) and added to the cells and the mixture was brought up to ⁇ 1 mL.
- the ⁇ 1 mL of cells and ICs were injected behind the neck of BALB/c mice that had been given LPS 3 days earlier (to activate FDCs) and irradiated with -600 rad 24 hours before cell transfer (we believe that the ICs will load on the activated FDCs in draining lymph nodes and the T cells and B cells will home to the empty follicles under the influence of FDC chemokines).
- serum was collected and human anti-OVA was quantified using an
- ⁇ 20 ⁇ 10 6 CD4 + T cells and ⁇ 15 ⁇ 10 6 B cells are sufficient to provide the specific cells necessary for a human anti-OVA primary response. Additionally, priming of the T cells for longer periods (e.g., -5 days or longer) helps to get functional helper T cells.
- Example 6 Activation and expansion of human antigen-specific T cells in vitro and their use to induce a recall human antigen-specific antibody response in vitro.
- monocyte-derived DCs • -5 x 10 6 monocytes were cultured in 5 ml X-Vivo media supplemented with IL-4
- TNF ⁇ + 1 ⁇ g/mL TT antigen or 10 ⁇ g/mL Candida antigen (Ca) were added to the medium, to provide antigen for processing and TNF ⁇ for DC maturation.
- the present invention 's process of timing leukocyte interactions provides a strategy to enhance in vitro immune responses.
- two- and three-way interactions of the dendritic cells, B cells, and T cells, in a defined sequential order of events are important (i.e., that the timing of immunological events leads to stronger immune responses).
- Example 7 Enhanced influenza-specific IgG response in co-cultures with delayed addition of B cells.
- Co-culture was performed. Briefly, CD14 + monocytes sorted from PBMCs were cultured in X-Vivo medium containing GM-CSF and IL-4. At day 5 of culture, DCs were pulsed with antigen, followed by addition of maturation factor TNF ⁇ 24 h later. Then, the cells were incubated for another 24 h, harvested, and used as APCs in co-cultures. T and B cells were sorted from PBMCs, using the Miltenyi negative selective method. In some cultures, T and B cells, DCs and, antigen were added together into the wells (T/B/DC, no delay). In other conditions, T cells and DCs were cultured together. B cells were then pulsed with antigen in separate wells overnight.
- the influenza virus used in this example was the inactivated New Caledonia strain.
- Example 8 B cells pulsed with antigen, which were then added one day later to a T/DC culture produced a stronger response than T/B/DC/antigen co-culture.
- the T/DC + B-antigen culture protocol may enhance B cell survival and the B cell response (see examples with Fluzone- and influenza virus-triggered cultures).
- T/DC + B-Ag system After one day of prepulsing the B cells with antigen, the Ag was removed and the prepulsed B cells were added to the T cell + DC cultures (T/DC + B-Ag system). We also sought to compare the effect of DCs matured with TNF ⁇ or anti-CD40.
- Example 9 Comparison of the sensitivity of three different methods to obtain antigen- specific B cell responses to the DTaP Vaccine.
- the serum TT titer is of the blood donor was ⁇ 98 ⁇ g/mL.
- Method 2 DTaP-pulsed DCs and T cells were cultured together for one day and then freshly purified B cells and additional DTaP vaccine (1 :200 dilution) were added to the culture after 24 h,
- Method 3 DTaP-pulsed DCs and T cells were cultured together and simultaneously, B cells were pulsed with DTaP vaccine (1 :200 dilution) in separate wells. After one day, the antigen-pulsed B cells were added to T cell / DC culture wells. As shown in Figure 23, method 3 was more sensitive, in terms of antigen-specific antibody responses.
- TNF- ⁇ + -1 ⁇ g/mL TT antigen or -1 100 dilution of DTaP vaccine were added to each well to provide antigen for processing and TNF- ⁇ for DC maturation.
- DCs were isolated, centrifuged, and washed with medium. Then, ⁇ 2.5 ⁇ 10 5 CD4 T cells/well was cultured for 0 and 3 days with TT-pulsed DCs (-1 :60) or DTaP-pulsed DCs, to present TT-Ag or DTaP-Ag, and to prime the T cells.
- TT-Ag -100 ng/mL
- DTaP-Ag -1 :200 dilution
- the assay was read on day 7 for controls (day 0) and then again at day 10 (day 3; 7 days after the addition of B cells at day 3).
- day 0 days after the addition of B cells at day 3
- delayed addition of B cells at day 3 in this example, significantly increased antigen-specific T and B cell proliferative responses.
- day 3 in this example significantly increased B cell responses.

- This method for producing this human immune model system comprises a) in vitro culturing human T cells with antigen- pulsed dendritic cells (DC) for sufficient time to produce primed CD4+ helper T cells in a T cell/DC culture to produce a T/DC population; b) combining antigen-pulsed human B cells with the in vitro T cell/DC population of part a) to produce a B/T/DC population; c) inserting the B /T/DC population of part b) into the lymph system of an irradiated mouse, wherein the mouse is immunocompetent before irradiation; whereby the irradiated mouse comprising the B/T/DC population is a human immune model system.
- DC antigen- pulsed dendritic cells
- Human antibodies are produced by a method comprising collecting the antibodies produced by the human immune model system, described, wherein the antibodies are polyclonal antibodies. Additionally, human antibodies are produced by a) immortalizing B cells obtained from the human immune model system to produce hybridomas, b) cloning each hybridoma; c), culturing each hybridoma to produce monoclonal antibodies; and, collecting the monoclonal antibodies.
- Example 12 Kinetics of antigen-pulsed DC and B cell interaction (day 3 versus day 1) on B cell responses to naive antigens (rPA) in collagen/Transwell lymphoid tissue equivalent.
- DC preparation ⁇ 5 ⁇ lO 6 monocytes, positively isolated from PBMCs, were cultured in 5 ml X-Vivo media supplemented with IL-4 (-25 ng/mL) and GM-CSF (-100 ng/mL) to make immature DCs. Additional IL-4 and GM-CSF were added at day 3 of the culture. DC maturation and antigen pulsing. At day 6, DCs were pulsed with rPA antigen
- CD4 + T cells were cultured with antigen-pulsed DCs (-1 :40) in 48-well plates for either day 1 or day 3.
- naive B cells were cultured with antigen-pulsed DCs (-1 :40) with additional soluble antigen (rPA-Ag (1 ⁇ g/mL) for either day 1 or day 3 in separate 48-wells plates.
- rPA-Ag additional soluble antigen
- the cell pellet was resuspended in -33 ⁇ L of X-VIVO media, containing rPA-Ag (3x of -1 ⁇ g/mL) and chemokines (3 ⁇ of -1 ⁇ g/mL each of CCL21 and CXCL13). Then, -70 ⁇ L neutralized collagen (-1.9 mL of -3 mg/mL collagen + -100 ⁇ L 1Ox PBS + -20 ⁇ L 1 M NaOH and -8 ⁇ L of fibronectin (-5 mg/mL); the pH was checked (-7.2 to 7.4)) was mixed and poured into a Transwell device. The plate was incubated at -37 0 C for -30-40 min to cast the collagen.
- the final concentration of antigen and chemokines in the collagen cushion was -1 ⁇ g/mL. After the collagen had congealed, -600 ⁇ L of pre-warmed X-VIVO media, containing Ix rPA antigen was added to the bottom chamber of the Transwell and supernatant collected from the overnight cultured cells (-300 ⁇ L) was added on the top of the collagen cushion.
- Post-harvest IL-21 stimulation Cells were harvested at day 21 and stimulated with IL-21 alone (-20 ng/mL) for -3 days in 48-well tissue culture plates. Typically, -2.5 million cells per wells were added with IL-21 in -500 ⁇ L media. After -3 days, cells were washed three times in the tube, counted, and used for ELISPOT analysis (-10 5 cells per well).
- rPA-specific IgM antibodies In an ELISA, a -4-fold increase in rPA-specific IgM antibodies was detected when antigen-loaded DCs were cultured with B cells in the presence of antigen (rPA, -1 ⁇ g/mL) for 3 days, as compared to day 1. Antigen-pulsed DCs and T cells were also added at days 3 and 1 , respectively.
