Mice rendered deficient in CD28 signaling by the soluble competitor, cytotoxic T lymphocyte–associated molecule 4–immunoglobulin G1 fusion protein (CTLA4-Ig), fail to upregulate OX40 expression in vivo or form germinal centers after immunization. This is associated with impaired interleukin 4 production and a lack of CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR)5 on CD4 T cells, a chemokine receptor linked with migration into B follicles. Germinal center formation is restored in CTLA4-Ig transgenic mice by coinjection of an agonistic monoclonal antibody to CD28, but this is substantially inhibited if OX40 interactions are interrupted by simultaneous injection of an OX40-Ig fusion protein. These data suggest that CD28-dependent OX40 ligation of CD4 T cells at the time of priming is linked with upregulation of CXCR5 expression, and migration of T cells into B cell areas to support germinal center formation.

The number of clinic consultations for condylomata acuminata (genital warts) has increased substantially during the last 30 years. Most infections produce benign lesions but a few types may be associated with cervical and penile cancers. Interferons (IFN) have shown antiviral properties to these infections and IFN- in particular has demonstrated a specific cytopathic effect in humans. A total of 124 patients with condylomata acuminata, the majority of whom had failed previous therapy, were treated intralesionally with either recombinant human interferon-beta 1a (r-hIFN--1a) or placebo. Up to 6 lesions were treated in each patient, and injections were made 3 times per week for a total of 9 injections. The patients were then followed up for 3 months. Efficacy assessments at all time points (day 19, week 6 and month 3) showed a clear advantage for the r-hIFN--1a interferon-beta treatment. Patients receiving rhIFN--1a showed a greater proportion of treatment success in terms of the complete or partial reduction (at least 50%) of the total area of the treated lesions. The treatment was also well tolerated. Headache, flu-like symptoms and asthenia were more common in patients receiving r-hIFN--1a, but these adverse events were generally mild in severity and rarely led to patient withdrawal. It was concluded that r-hIFN--1a has good efficacy in condylomata acuminata, and therefore presents a useful therapeutic alternative in this hard-to-treat condition.
