- W289405924 abstract "Immunological parameters were studied in patients with either advanced renal cell cancer (n = 7) or advanced malignant melanoma (n = 6) during treatment with a low-dose continuous intravenous treatment with human recombinant interleukin-2 (hr IL-2) and recombinant interferon alpha-2a. Before treatment, natural killer (NK) cell activity was found to be significantly lower in these patients than in 10 normal controls. However, the numbers of NK cells in circulation were equivalent; following incubation of the patients' peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with IL-2 for three days normal lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cell activities were induced. Thus, in-vitro incubation with IL-2 appeared to overcome a defect in NK activity. We next examined the effect of IL-2/IFN alpha therapy on in-vitro LAK induction. Treatment significantly increased in-vitro LAK activity in eight of nine patients tested, although in-vivo LAK cell activity was not altered during treatment. The numbers of NK cells (CD16+ CD56+) in peripheral blood showed a significant increase in seven of ten patients as a result of treatment. The three patients who showed the best clinical response also showed the highest increase in expression of these phenotypic markers. T cells were found to be activated in 8/10 patients as indicated by increased co-expression of CD3 with CD25 after completion of 4-day continuous intravenous infusion of IL2. Four days before the start of treatment, cancer patient PBMC stimulated with concanavalin A (con A) produced significantly greater amounts of TNF compared to normal controls. In-vitro inducible TNF was found to decrease following treatment. Since IL-2 production and lymphocyte proliferation in response to Con A were normal in the patient group and were not altered by treatment, the reduction in TNF levels seemed not to be a general inhibitory effect. Further study of these and other changes in the immune system during IL-2/IFN alpha treatment may help to understand how these immunoregulators cause tumour destruction and to predict their usefulness in individual patients." @default.
