ABSTRACT
We previously reported that the IL-2 Luc LTT can detect immunosuppressive effects of drugs that are attributed to their antimitotic activity. Here, we report an official validation study of the IL-2 Luc LTT. In the Phase I study that evaluated five coded chemicals, the within-laboratory reproducibility of three independent laboratories was 100.0%. In the combined results of the Phase I and II studies that evaluated 20 coded chemicals, the between-laboratory reproducibility was 92.0%. When compared with the reference data based on the previously-reported immunotoxicological information, the predictivity of the combined Phase I and II studies was 76.0% for Lab A and 72.0% for Labs B and C. In contrast, in the study in which the lead laboratory examined 37 non-pharmaceutical chemicals, the predictivity of the IL-2 Luc LTT and the IL-2 Luc assay was 48.6% and 64.9%, respectively, whereas that of the combined assays was 74.3%. It is clear that an integrated approach combining multiple assays is necessary for the development of in vitro immunosuppression testing. These data suggest that the IL-2 Luc LTT alone is not sufficient as a component of the integrated approach, but the combination of the IL-2 Luc assay and IL-2 Luc LTT is promising.
