Lenalidomide reverses chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)-induced T-cell dysfunction in vivo. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected from five patients treated with lenalidomide monotherapy (clinical trial 2006-0715, NCT00535873) before and after 3 months of treatment. T-cell function improved after lenalidomide monotherapy. T cells were stimulated with anti-CD3/CD28 beads for 6 h and stained for IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-2, and CD107a. FACS plots are gated on live CD3+ cells.
