| Abstract | Costimulation of T lymphocytes by the leucocyte surface molecules CD80 and CD86 expressed on antigen-presenting cells (APC) is required for the development of T cell responses. The CD28 and CTLA-4 molecules on T cells serve as receptors for the CD80 and CD86 costimulatory antigens. We have examined the frequency of expression of CD80 (B7.1), CD86 (B7.2), CD28 and CTLA-4 surface antigens on TIL isolated from malignant ascites or peritoneal washings of 26 patients with ovarian carcinoma and five patients with non-ovarian peritoneal carcinomatosis. Expression of CD80 and CD86 antigen was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and by FACS analysis. Significantly higher proportions of intraperitoneal CD3+ cells expressed CD86 antigen than the CD80 antigen (14 ± 9% versus 3 ± 3%, P < 0.05). Moreover, CD3+CD86+ cells were significantly more frequent in the peritoneal fluid (14 ± 9%) than in the peripheral blood (3 ± 0.4%, P < 0.05) of ovarian patients or normal controls (3 ± 1%). CTLA-4 and CD28 antigen were expressed, respectively, on 9 ± 4% and 86 ± 14% of ascitic CD3+ cells of ovarian cancer patients. Both CD80 and CD86 antigens were expressed primarily on HLA-DR+ ascites TIL and were present in a very low proportion of HLA-DR− ascites TIL. These HLA-DR+ cells may represent a population of lymphocytes that have been activated in vivo, and function as APC. An anti-CD86 MoAb or a combination of anti-CD86 and anti-CD80 MoAbs significantly inhibited the proliferation of cultured intraperitoneal TIL. We have shown that in addition to CD28 and CTLA-4, CD3+ intraperitoneal TIL express the costimulatory molecules CD80 and CD86. The expression of these molecules on T cells could be dependent upon certain factors in the tumour microenvironment that could determine the outcome of in vivo immune responses. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
