PG - 212-220 LID - 10.11622/smedj.2019068 [doi] AB - INTRODUCTION: Overproduction of immunoglobulin E (IgE) by a subset of B cells plays a key role in the pathogenesis of allergic asthma. Anti-IgE monoclonal antibodies have been successfully used to treat the disease, but long-term application is required. METHODS: For this study, cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) against IgE-producing B cells were generated ex vivo by stimulating naive CD8 T cells with IgE-derived peptides presented by Drosophila-derived artificial antigen-presenting cells. Based on the treatment of allergic asthma in mice, the inhibitive effect of this CTL on IgE responses and airway inflammation was determined with the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and histochemical method. RESULTS: The IgE-specific CTLs effectively lysed target cells in vitro, while the adoptively transferred CTLs specifically inhibited IgE responses and airway inflammation in an asthmatic mouse model. The effect of IgE-specific CTLs is MHC (major histocompatibility complex) Class I-restricted and requires the expression of perforin. CONCLUSION: IgE-specific CTLs generated ex vivo may provide a novel treatment for allergic asthma and lead to a new therapy for other immunological disorders.
