1 REPROGRAMMING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM IN AUTOIMMUNITY AND TOLERANCE Tissue microenvironments in therapeutic tolerance Malignant tissues use multiple mechanisms to limit immune damage. The tissue microenvironment in non-malignant tissues can be similarly protected from immune attack following short term treatment with immunomodulatory antibodies.

2 Exemplified in tolerance through antibodymediated coreceptor and costimulation blockade. T-CELL TCR (CD3) CORECEPTOR (CD4 or CD8) COSTIMULATORY MOLECULE (CD154) APC

3 THE AIM IS TO GUIDE IMMUNE RECONSTITUTION TOWARDS TOLERANCE REJECTION TOLERANCE T-CELLS THAT REGULATE CELLS THAT REJECT

4 REPROGRAMMING INVOLVES THE HARNESSINNG OF REGULATORY T-CELLS FoxP3+ Thymically induced- ttreg Peripherally induced-ptreg In vitro induced itreg Conditionally expressing FoxP3-cTreg Others e.g. Tr1 cells (IL-10)

10 TRANSGENIC MICE OFFER REDUCTIONIST OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOLUTIONS OF MECHANISMS Tolerance can be achieved in conventional mice, and in TCR transgenic mice that react with just one single minor transplantation antigen-hy. TCR transgenic mice lack ttreg, and can therefore be used to study the role of ptreg in tolerance.

11 The Foxp3 gene is needed for tolerance in TCR transgenic mice Foxp3 sufficient mice (13) Foxp3 deficient mice (11) Regateiro et al J.Immunol. (2012)
