Abstract
The Wilms' tumor gene WT1 is highly expressed in leukemias and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and WT1 expression levels increase along with the disease progression in chronic myeloid leukemia and MDS. We previously reported that IgM and IgG WT1 antibodies were detected with significantly higher detection rate and antibody titers in leukemias and MDS compared to those in healthy volunteers. In this study, whether IgG humoral immune responses against WT1 protein were Th1- or Th2-type were determined by measurement of four subclasses of IgG WT1 antibody, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. In leukemias and MDS, Th1-type WT1 antibodies such as IgG1, IgG2, and IgG3 were significantly increased in both detection rate and antibody titers compared to those in healthy volunteers, whereas Th2-type WT1 antibody such as IgG4 did not increase. These results showed that Th1-biased humoral immune responses against WT1 protein were generated in leukemias and MDS. These results should allow us to consider that Th1-biased cellular immune responses against WT1 protein, which was essentially needed for cancer immunotherapy targeting WT1, should be elicited in patients with hematopoietic malignancies.

Abstract
When foot-and-mouth-disease (FMD) was identified in Miyazaki prefecture in March 2000, Japan conducted an intensive serological and clinical survey in the areas surrounding the index herd. As a result of the survey during the 21 days of the movement-restriction period, two infected herds were detected and destroyed; there were no other cases in the months that followed. To evaluate the survey used for screening the disease-control area and surveillance area, we estimated the herd-level sensitivity of the survey (HSe) through a spreadsheet model using Monte-Carlo methods. The Reed-Frost model was incorporated to simulate the spread of FMD within an infected herd. In the simulations, 4, 8 and 12 effective-contact scenarios during the 5-day period were examined. The estimated HSes of serological tests (HSeE) were 71.0, 75.3 and 76.3% under the 4, 8 and 12 contact scenarios, respectively. The sensitivity analysis showed that increasing the number of contacts beyond 12 did not improve HSeE, but increasing the number of sampled animals and delaying the dates of sampling did raise HSeEs. Small herd size in the outbreak area (>80% of herds have <20 animals) seems to have helped in maintaining HSeE relatively high, although the serological inspection was carried out before sero-positive animals had a chance to increase in infected herds. The estimated herd-level specificity of serological tests (HSpE) was 98.6%. This HSpE predicted 224 false-positive herds (5th percentile estimate was 200 and 95th percentile was 249), which proved close to the 232 false-positive herds actually observed. The combined-test herd-level sensitivity (serological and clinical inspections combined; CTHSe), averaged 85.5, 87.6 and 88.1% for the 4, 8 and 12 contact scenarios, respectively. Using these CTHSes, the calculated probability that no infected herd was overlooked by the survey was > or =62.5% under the most-conservative, four-contact scenario. The probability that no more than one infected herd was overlooked was > or =89.7%.

Abstract
Respiration and the muscle pump play major roles in increasing venous return. However, the relative contribution of each of these factors remains unclear. The present study investigates the quantitative effects of interaction between respiration and the muscle pump on femoral venous blood flow (FVBF) during a single voluntary knee extension-flexion (KEF) using duplex-Doppler ultrasound. During various respiration modes, which consisted of arrested respiration, normal respiration and deep respiration (inspiration or expiration), eight subjects performed a supine one-legged voluntary KEF. FVBF was measured during respiration only (Protocol A) and during KEF synchronized with respiration (Protocol B). The difference between FVBF values obtained in Protocol B and Protocol A was defined as DeltaFVBF. When KEF was synchronized with normal or deep respiration, FVBF with inspiration was significantly lower than that with expiration. However, DeltaFVBF was significantly higher with inspiration than with expiration during deep respiration but was not significant during normal respiration. Furthermore, DeltaFVBF was significantly higher at both normal and deep respiration than at arrested respiration. The effects upon the venous return during KEF differed between inspiration and expiration. The present findings indicate that during a single supine KEF, respiration might promote venous return to a range of 1.5- to 2.3-fold DeltaFVBF during arrested respiration.

Abstract
IL-12 was recently shown to induce CCR5 on TCR-triggered mouse T cells. Considering that STAT4 is the most critical of IL-12 signaling molecules, this study investigated the role for STAT4 in the induction of CCR5 expression. IL-12R was induced by stimulation with anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28 mAb similarly on T cells from wild-type (WT) and STAT4-deficient (STAT4(-/-)) mice, but the levels of IL-12R induced on IFN-gamma-deficient (IFN-gamma(-/-)) T cells were lower compared with WT T cells. Exposure of TCR-triggered WT T cells to IL-12 induced CCR5 expression. In contrast, TCR-triggered STAT4(-/-) T cells failed to express CCR5 in response to IL-12. IL-12 stimulation induced detectable albeit reduced levels of CCR5 expression on IFN-gamma(-/-) T cells. Addition of rIFN-gamma to cultures of IFN-gamma(-/-) T cells, particularly to cultures during TCR triggering resulted in restoration of CCR5 expression. However, CCR5 expression was not induced in STAT4(-/-) T cells by supplementation of rIFN-gamma. These results indicate that for the induction of CCR5 on T cells, 1) STAT4 plays an indispensable role; 2) such a role is not substituted by simply supplementing rIFN-gamma; and 3) IFN-gamma amplifies CCR5 induction depending on the presence of STAT4.

Abstract
Forty-three patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis at National Chiba-Higashi Hospital were studied retrospectively. TB cases excreting tubercle bacilli which are resistant to both 0.1 microgram/ml of isoniazid and 50 micrograms/ml of rifampicin were defined as multidrug-resistant cases. From 1993 to 1997, we experienced 1627 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, and among them 43 patients (23-79 years old, 35 males and 8 females) were proved to be multidrug-resistant. Six cases were initially treated cases and other 37 cases had been treated previously. On admission, 40 out of 43 cases (93.0%) were smear positive by sputum examination of mycobacteria and 38 out of 43 cases (88.4%) had cavitary lesions on chest X-ray. Six patients were complicated with diabetes mellitus, two with cancer, one with alcohol dependence, one with chronic hepatitis, and others did not have prominent complications. Three operated patients were cured, the fact shows that the surgical treatment is still a useful measure for cases with the indication. Sixteen patients were cured, eight were still under treatment, and thirteen were died of tuberculosis. One of reasons of poor prognosis of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is that multidrug-resistant tubercle bacilli are usually resistant to other drugs, too. In case of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, patients were obliged to be treated in a hospital long-term to prevent the spread of tubercle bacilli. Therefore, it is very important to find out new tuberculosis cases as an early as possible, treat them with proper regimen and prevent dropout by directly observed therapy, thus preventing the emergence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Development of new antituberculous agents is strongly expected.

Abstract
Interleukin-12 (IL-12) as well as IL-2 was recently shown to up-regulate CCR5 expression on T-cell receptor (TCR)-triggered human T cells. Because of the functional similarity between interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) and IL-12, the present study investigated whether IFN-alpha also up-regulates T cell CCR5 expression. CCR5 was marginally detected on T cells from unstimulated human peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) and only slightly induced on PBL T cells following stimulation with anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). When anti-CD3/anti-CD28-triggered PBLs were exposed to IFN-alpha, T cells expressed high levels of CCR5. The levels of CCR5 expression were comparable to those induced by IL-12. However, when purified T cells instead of unfractionated PBL were stimulated with anti-CD3/CD28 and then exposed to IL-12 or IFN-alpha, CCR5 expression was induced by IL-12 but not by IFN-alpha. IFN-alpha was found to act on anti-CD3/anti-CD28-stimulated PBL to promote their IL-12 production. Moreover, addition of anti-IL-12 mAb to IFN-alpha-stimulated cultures of anti-CD3/CD28-pretreated PBL resulted in considerable inhibition of CCR5 expression. Together, these results indicate that IFN-alpha as well as IL-12 up-regulates CCR5 expression on TCR-triggered T cells and that IFN-alpha functions not by acting directly on T cells but via enhancing IL-12 production by PBL.

Abstract
Pulmonary capillary haemangiomatosis is a rare disorder characterised by multiple angiomatous lesions composed of proliferating capillary vessels in the lung parenchyma that usually progress rapidly to establish fatal pulmonary hypertension. The 29 year old man presented here, however, has been stable for 3.5 years since the diagnosis without symptoms of pulmonary hypertension. High resolution computed tomographic findings of the pulmonary lesions seemed specific to the disease.

Abstract
The chemokine receptor CCR5 has been implicated in the recruitment of T cells to inflammatory sites. However, the regulation of CCR5 induction on T cells and its contribution to T cell adhesiveness are poorly understood. Using a Th1 clone, 2D6, that can be maintained with interleukin (IL)-12 or IL-2 alone (designated 2D6(IL-12) or 2D6(IL-2), respectively), we investigated how CCR5 is induced on T cells and whether CCR5 is responsible for up-regulating the function of adhesion molecules. 2D6(IL-12) grew, forming cell aggregates, in culture containing IL-12. This was due to lymphocyte function-associated antigen (LFA)-1-intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 interaction, because 2D6(IL-12) expressed both LFA-1 and ICAM-1 and cell aggregation was inhibited by anti-ICAM-1 monoclonal antibody. Despite comparable levels of LFA-1 and ICAM-1 expression, 2D6(IL-2) cells did not aggregate in culture with IL-2. It is important that there was a critical difference in CCR5 expression between 2D6(IL-12) and 2D6(IL-2); the former expressed high levels of CCR5, and the latter expressed only marginal levels. Both types of cells expressed detectable albeit low levels of RANTES (regulated on activation, normal T expressed and secreted) mRNA. Unlike IL-12 or IL-2, IL-18 induced high levels of RANTES mRNA expression without modulating CCR5 expression. Therefore, combined stimulation with IL-12 and IL-18 strikingly up-regulated 2D6 cell aggregation. Notably, LFA-1-mediated aggregation of 2D6(IL-12) cells was suppressed by anti-CCR5 antibody. These results indicate that IL-12 plays a critical role in CCR5 expression on Th1 cells and consequently contributes to CCR5-mediated activation of LFA-1 molecules.

Abstract
A survey of Theileria sergenti infections, daily weight gain and conception proportion was conducted in 85 herds of grazing heifers in Japan. Basic information and epidemiological data from participating herds were obtained by mailed questionnaires, which were completed by field veterinarians. The average cumulative incidence and proportion of treated animals in the participating herds were 25.7 and 21.1%, respectively. The average daily weight gain and conception proportion were 0.51 kg per day and 56.9%, respectively. The basic information and epidemiological data had a large range and standard deviation, which reflect the wide diversity of the grazing herds in Japan. Herds with heavy tick infestation had significantly higher cumulative incidence and proportion of treated animals, therefore, this factor can be a good estimator to predict the occurrence and loss by theileriosis of the herds. The present questionnaire survey was useful for obtaining information about herds in different regions, and this survey method can be applied to the research of other animal diseases in Japan.

Abstract
The activation of resting T cells for the acquisition of various functions depends on whether CD28 costimulatory signals are provided upon T cell receptor stimulation. Here, we investigated how CD28 costimulation functions to allow TCR-triggered resting T cells to acquire IL-12 responsiveness. When T cells are stimulated with low doses of anti-CD3 mAb, CD28 costimulation was required for the optimal levels of IL-12 receptor (IL-12R) expression. However, stimulation of T cells with high doses of anti-CD3 alone induced comparable levels of IL-12R expression to those induced upon CD28 costimulation. Nevertheless, there was a substantial difference in IL-12 responsiveness between these two groups of T cells: compared to anti-CD28-costimulated T cells, T cells that were not costimulated with anti-CD28 exhibited decreased levels of Janus kinases (JAK) JAK2/TYK2 and STAT4 phosphorylation and IFN-y production following IL-12 stimulation. Importantly, STAT6 phosphorylation following IL-4 stimulation was not decreased in anti-CD28-uncostimulated T cells. These resutls indicate that CD28 costimulation not only contributes to up-regulating IL-12R expression but is also required to render JAKs/STAT4 responsive to IL-12 stimulation.

Abstract
IL-12 and IL-18 are both proinflammatory cytokines that contribute to promoting Th1 development and IFN-gamma expression. However, neither IL-12R nor IL-18R is expressed as a functional complex on most resting T cells. This study investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the induction of an IL-18R complex in T cells. Resting T cells expressed IL-18Ralpha chains but did not exhibit IL-18 binding sites as detected by incubation with rIL-18 followed by anti-IL-18 Ab, suggesting a lack of IL-18Rbeta expression in resting T cells. Although they also failed to express IL-12R, stimulation with anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28 generated IL-12R. Exposure of these cells to IL-12 led not only to up-regulation of IL-18Ralpha expression but also to induction of IL-18R binding sites on both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells concomitant with IL-18Rbeta mRNA expression. The IL-18 binding site represented a functional IL-18R complex capable of exhibiting IL-18 responsiveness. IL-12 induction of an IL-18R complex and IL-18Rbeta mRNA expression was not observed in STAT4-deficient (STAT4(-/-)) T cells and was substantially decreased in IFN-gamma(-/-) T cells. However, the failure of STAT4(-/-) T cells to induce an IL-18R complex was not corrected by IFN-gamma. These results indicate that STAT4 and IFN-gamma play an indispensable role and a role as an amplifying factor, respectively, in IL-12 induction of the functional IL-18R complex.

Abstract
Despite increasing evidence for the role of the chemokine system in leukocyte trafficking, the mechanism underlying the induction of chemokine receptors is poorly understood. Here, we investigated how CCR5, a chemokine receptor implicated in T cell migration to inflammatory sites, is induced in the T cell. CCR5 mRNA was hardly detected in resting T cells and marginally induced following T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation. However, TCR-triggered T cells expressed IL-12 receptor, and stimulation with recombinant IL-12 resulted in high levels of CCR5 expression on both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells. In contrast, IL-2 failed to up-regulate CCR5 expression. The effect of IL-12 was selective to CCR5 because IL-12 did not up-regulate CXCR3 expression. Surface expression of CCR5 was shown by staining with anti-CCR5 monoclonal antibody. Stimulation of these CCR5-positive T cells with the relevant chemokine MIP-1 alpha elicited Ca(2+) influx, showing that IL-12-induced CCR5 is functional. These results indicate a critical role for IL-12 in the induction of CCR5 on TCR-triggered T cells.

Abstract
To elucidate the process of TCR-mediated signaling pathways in lipid rafts, we constructed a chimeric molecule that localizes activated SHP-1 to rafts. Raft targeting of activated SHP-1 in Jurkat-derived transfectants completely inhibited the expression of CD69 and transcriptional factors after TCR cross-linking. Whereas the inducible tyrosine phosphorylation of TCR zeta and ZAP-70 and the kinase activity of Lck were intact, phosphorylated LAT was rapidly dephosphorylated by raft targeting of activated SHP-1, leading to defects in LAT activation and subsequent downstream signaling events. Intriguingly, recruitment of endogenous SHP-1 to rafts and its association with LAT were dramatically increased after TCR engagement, suggesting that SHP-1 is involved in raft-mediated T cell activation.

Abstract
The activation of resting T cells for the acquisition of various functions depends on whether CD28 costimulatory signals are provided upon T cell receptor stimulation. Here, we investigated how CD28 costimulation functions to allow TCR-triggered resting T cells to acquire IL-12 responsiveness. When T cells are stimulated with low doses of anti-CD3 mAb, CD28 costimulation was required for the optimal levels of IL-12 receptor (IL-12R) expression. However, stimulation of T cells with high doses of anti-CD3 alone induced comparable levels of IL-12R expression to those induced upon CD28 costimulation. Nevertheless, there was a substantial difference in IL-12 responsiveness between these two groups of T cells: compared to anti-CD28-costimulated T cells, T cells that were not costimulated with anti-CD28 exhibited decreased levels of Janus kinases (JAK) JAK2/TYK2 and STAT4 phosphorylation and IFN-y production following IL-12 stimulation. Importantly, STAT6 phosphorylation following IL-4 stimulation was not decreased in anti-CD28-uncostimulated T cells. These resutls indicate that CD28 costimulation not only contributes to up-regulating IL-12R expression but is also required to render JAKs/STAT4 responsive to IL-12 stimulation.

Abstract
IFN-gamma-deficient (IFN-gamma-/-) mice induce potent in vitro immune responses such as anti-allo mixed lymphocyte reaction and CTL responses, whereas they often fail to exhibit in vivo immunity. Here, we investigated whether there exists a defect in tumor rejection responses and if so, which process of responses is impaired. IFN-gamma-/- and wild-type (WT) BALB/c mice were immunized with attenuated syngeneic CSA1M tumor cells. The capacity of T cells to mediate tumor protection was examined in Winn assays to assess the growth of tumor cells admixed with tumor-sensitized T cells. Splenic T cells from both groups of mice exhibited comparable levels of tumor-neutralizing activity. When portions of immunized mice were directly challenged with viable tumor cells, tumor rejection was induced only in WT mice. CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cell infiltration were observed at the site of tumor challenge in WT mice, whereas such a T-cell infiltration did not occur in IFN-gamma-/- mice. Similarly, splenic T cells from interleukin 12-treated CSA1M-bearing IFN-gamma-/- and WT mice neutralized tumor cells at comparable efficacies in Winn assays. However, the migration of these T cells to tumor masses and the resultant interleukin 12-induced tumor regression took place in WT mice, but neither intratumoral T-cell infiltration nor tumor regression occurred in IFN-gamma-/- mice. These results indicate a critical requirement for IFN-gamma in the process of inducing T-cell migration to tumor sites rather than of generating antitumor protective T cells.

Abstract
T cell migration into tumor masses is critical to the process of immunologically induced tumor regression. Like other lymphoid populations, T cells are recruited to inflammatory sites depending on the interaction of T cell integrin receptors with their ligands expressed on vasculature. It is increasingly becoming evident that the adhesive capacity of integrins is upregulated by signals from chemokine receptors. A model of intratumoral T cell migration has been established using IL-12 to induce tumor regression. Focusing on this particular model, we review how IL-12 works to upregulate the expression and/or function of chemokines/chemokine receptors as well as adhesion molecules and to induce collaboration between chemokine and adhesion systems. This article will also describe why such an IL-12-induced activation of chemokine and adhesion systems leads to T cell-mediated tumor regression in some tumor models, but not in others.

Abstract
The expression of chemokine receptors on leukocytes is related to their activation state. However, the exact mechanism underlying the induction of each chemokine receptor is poorly understood. Here, we investigated how CCR5, a chemokine receptor implicated in T cell trafficking and HIV infection, is induced in human T cells. CCR5 was marginally detected on a freshly prepared human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) population. Long-term (8-day) stimulation of PBMC with IL-2 resulted in high levels of CCR5 expression on T cells. IL-12 failed to induce CCR5 on T cells in such a directly stimulated PBMC population. Stimulation of PBMC T cells with anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28 induced detectable albeit very low levels of CCR5 along with the induction of IL-12 receptor. However, these TCR-triggered T cells expressed much higher levels of CCR5 when stimulated with IL-12. Although IL-2 also induced CCR5 expression, CCR5 expression was more potent in IL-12 than IL-2 stimulation. These results indicate that, in addition to IL-2, IL-12 plays an important role in the induction of CCR5 expression on T cells, particularly TCR-triggered T cells.

Abstract
Lck, a Src family protein tyrosine kinase (PTKs), is post-translationally modified by palmitoylation, a process thought to regulate the biological function, membrane affinity and glycolipid-enriched microdomain (GEM) localization of this molecule. To examine the importance of palmitoylation sites Cys3 and Cys5 in Lck, one or both of these residues was mutated to serine to create mutants S3, S5, and S3,5, respectively. Immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy of COS-7 cells transfected with these constructs showed that while S5 and S3 localized to the plasma membrane, S3,5 was localized to the cytoplasm, suggesting that palmitoylation at at least one site is essential for membrane localization. Sucrose gradient based fractionation of these mutants expressed in COS-7 cells showed that while S5 localized to GEMs in similar fashion to the wild type, GEM localization of S3 was severely inhibited. Expression of these mutants in Lck-negative JCaM1 cells showed that although S5 reconstituted activation of nuclear factor NFAT as per the wild type, S3 expression failed to do so. These results suggest that Cys3 of Lck plays a more important role than Cys5 in GEM localization and T cell activation. Additionally, it was found that the degree of T cell function recovery is positively correlated with the degree of Lck expression in GEMs.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of the quantitative measurement of muscle oxidative metabolism in exercise by near-infrared continuous-wave spectroscopy (NIRcws). Twelve male subjects performed two bouts of dynamic handgrip exercise, once for the NIRcws measurement and once for the (31)P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) measurement as a standard measure. The resting muscle metabolic rate (RMRmus) was independently measured by (31)P-MRS during 15 min of arterial occlusion at rest. During the first exercise bout, the quantitative value of muscle oxidative metabolic rate at 30 s postexercise was evaluated from the ratio of the rate of oxyhemoglobin/myoglobin decline measured by NIRcws during arterial occlusion 30 s after exercise and the rate at rest. Therefore, the absolute values of muscle oxidative metabolic rate at 30 s after exercise [VO(2NIR(30))] was calculated from this ratio multiplied by RMRmus. During the second exercise bout, creatine phosphate (PCr) resynthesis rate was measured by (31)P-MRS at 30 s postexercise [Q((30))] under the same conditions but without arterial occlusion postexercise. To determine the validity of NIRcws, VO(2NIR(30)) was compared with Q((30)). There was a significant correlation between VO(2NIR(30)), which ranged between 0.018 and 0. 187 mM ATP/s, and Q((30)), which ranged between 0.041 and 0.209 mM ATP/s (r = 0.965, P < 0.001). This result supports the application of NIRcws to quantitatively evaluate muscle oxidative metabolic rate in exercise.
