42 42 Monitoring Alefacept Therapy  Dosing initiated in those with CD4+ T cell counts in normal range  Dose omission for CD4+ T cell count <250 cells/uL  CD4+ T cell monitoring every 2 weeks during therapy

43 43 Lymphocyte PD: Implications  Physiologically –Prevent infections –Antibody responses to recall antigens –Potential role in immune surveillance  Pathologically –Induce disease in a variety of autoimmune disorders, including psoriasis What are the functions of memory T cells?

45 45 Immune Function Tests in Alefacept-treated Patients  Cell-mediated responses: –Phase 2, delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) skin tests –Minor trends towards loss of response to some antigens  Humoral responses: –Clinical study of alefacept vs placebo in 46 pts –Two T cell-dependent antigens used  X174 (neo-antigen) (naïve → memory)  X174 (neo-antigen) (naïve → memory) Tetanus toxoid (recall antigen) (memory)Tetanus toxoid (recall antigen) (memory) –Alefacept treatment did not abrogate anti-  X174 and anti-tetanus antibody responses
