A) After 28 days, the phenotypes of the cells were compared by flow cytometry using a Brilliant Violet 711™ anti-human CD197 (CCR7) antibody and PE/Dazzle™ 594 anti-human CD45RA antibody to determine the number of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ naive (CD45RA⁺/CCR7⁺) Tscm cells. The percentage of Tscm cells was found to be higher when the cells were expanded with the IL-2 (CD122-Directed) Protein at 14.3 ng/mL. B) The number of cells expressing the T cell exhaustion markers, PD-1, LAG-3, and TIM-3 was determined by flow cytometry. The results showed that the percentages of CD4⁺/CD8⁺ T cells that were also PD-1, LAG-3, or TIM-3 positive were equivalent or reduced with the IL-2 (CD122-Directed) Protein. These results demonstrate that the IL-2 (CD122-Directed) Protein promotes increased T cell expansion with enhanced expression of naive phenotype markers and equivalent or reduced expression of cell exhaustion markers.

Background

CD122 directed IL-2 has a 7-fold increased binding affinity to the human IL-2 beta receptor while exhibiting significantly reduced affinity for the IL-2 alpha receptor. According to research by Levin (2012), this configuration results in more effective expansion of effector cells and less Treg (1). Our findings show that CD122 directed IL-2 improves immune cell expansion for workflows requiring significant amounts of IL-2. One concern with improving T cell expansion is the possibility of increasing the number of terminally differentiated and exhausted T cells with reduced anti-tumor activity. However, our studies have shown that CD122 directed IL-2 significantly improves T cell expansion without changing T cell phenotype or the expression of exhaustion markers.
