In order to study the correlation of in vivo tumor transplantation immunity and in vitro immunologic assays, cell-mediated cytotoxicity against SV40-transformed cells was studied in AL/N strain mice by using 51Cr-release assay. Killing of SV40-transformed AL/N fibroblast cells was observed by spleen cells of AL/N mice immunized with syngeneic SV40-transformed cells. Immunization with the solubilized SV40 tumor-specific transplantation antigen (TSTA) that induced transplantation immunity in vivo did not elicit cytotoxic spleen cells in vitro. However, the spleen cells from mice immunized with solubilized TSTA and then sensitized in vitro with SV40-transformed cells became cytotoxic against SV40-transformed fibroblasts. Similarly, SV40 TSTA (T antigen) purified by immunoprecipitation was able to prime the lymphocytes in AL/N mice: the primed lymphocytes could differentiate into cytotoxic lymphocytes upon in vitro stimulation by SV40-transformed cells. These data indicate that SV40 TSTA (T antigen) plays a role in the induction of cytotoxic lymphocytes. 相似文献

Cytotoxic effector lymphocytes were induced by in vitro immunization of lymph node and spleen cells from AKR-mice (H-2k) and from BALB/c-mice (H-2d) to syngeneic SV40-transformed fibroblasts. The T cell-dependent cytotoxicity was specific for target cells expressing the same H2-specificity as the immunizing cells. Nontransformed fibroblasts as stimulator cells did not induce efficient cytotoxicity to transformed or nontransformed target cells. Incubation with phytohemagglutinin during the sensitization period modified the specificity of the T cell-mediated lysis of syngeneic SV40-transformed fibroblasts: allogeneic as well as syngeneic target cells were destroyed by these effector cells. However, the polyclonal stimulant activates preferentially cytotoxicity to H2-matched target cells. The in vitro generation of cytotoxic effector cells was restricted to living SV40-transformed fibroblasts as immunizing cells; it was not possible to immunize lymphocytes in the presence of membrane proteins prepared from the SV40-transformed cells. The cytotoxicity of the in vitro immunized lymphocytes was inhibited by incubation with membrane protein preparations from syngeneic or allogeneic SV40-transformed fibroblasts. 相似文献

Syrian hamster embryo cells transformed by adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) or simian virus 40 (SV40) differ markedly in morphology, tumorigenicity, and susceptibility to in vitro lysis by nonspecific cytotoxic cells. Hybrid cells formed by fusing Ad2- and SV40-transformed Syrian hamster embryo cells may express only SV40 T antigens or both SV40 and Ad2 T antigens. Hybrids that express only SV40 T antigens are indistinguishable from the nonhybrid SV40-transformed phenotype, whereas hybrid cells that express T antigens from both viruses closely resemble the nonhybrid parental Ad2-transformed phenotype. Because these hybrid cells have been useful in the study of neoplastic transformation, we determined the amount of viral antigens that they accumulate in an attempt to correlate the level of expression of the transforming viral genes with some of their phenotypic properties. Hybrid cells that expressed proteins from both viruses showed reduced levels of SV40 T antigens compared with those of hybrid cells that did not express Ad2 T antigens. We also found that the production of several cellular proteins that influence cytomorphology was inhibited in hybrid and nonhybrid cells that expressed Ad2 T antigens, and the repression of these cellular proteins correlated with a change in cytomorphology from fibroblastic to spherical. Finally, we showed that the susceptibility of our hybrid cells to in vitro lysis by natural killer cells and activated macrophages, two putative host-effector cells involved in defense against neoplasia, correlated closely with the level of expression of a 58,000-dalton Ad2 protein. The results reported here, together with the results of previous studies, indicate that the oncogenic potential of hybrid cells that express both Ad2 and SV40 antigens is extremely sensitive to Ad2 expression, whereas other phenotypic properties depend on Ad2 expression in a dose-dependent manner. 相似文献

SV40-transformed tumor cells in hamsters have been found to have cell surface antigens cross-reactive with antigens temporally expressed on fetal tissues. Adoptive transfer assays performed in this laboratory have shown that peritoneal exudate cells from 10-day primiparous hamsters are cytotoxic to SV40-transformed sarcoma cells (WF5-1) carrying fetal antigen, whereas peritoneal exudate cells from multiparous hamsters are less cytotoxic. This suggests a suppressor activity might be present during subsequent pregnancies that reduces the responsiveness of lymphocytes from pregnant hamsters to stimulation by fetal antigens on tumor cells. Using a lymphocyte transformation assay, spleen cells from pregnant hamsters were found to be incapable of responding to preparations of either hamster fetal tissue or SV40-transformed cells. However, a suppressor component can be demonstrated in spleen cell populations of both primi- and multiparous hamsters during pregnancy that is capable of reducing the response of lymphocytes sensitized against SV40 tumor-associated antigens. The degree of suppression is proportional to the ratio of responder cells to spleen cells from pregnant animals. These results suggest there is a subpopulation of spleen cells involved in immunoregulation during pregnancy that has the ability to suppress the reactivity of lymphocytes sensitized against SV40-associated oncofetal antigens. 相似文献

Primary mouse embryo fibroblasts of C57BL/6 origin (B6/MEF) were transformed in vitro by transfection with simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA. The transformation frequency was markedly reduced if the SV40 DNA-transfected cultures were briefly exposed to K11 cells, an SV40-specific clone of cytotoxic T lymphocytes. This abrogation of SV40 transformation in vitro by cytotoxic T-lymphocyte clone K11 was specific, since transformation of B6/MEF cells by adenovirus type 5 DNA was not affected. The approach described here should serve as an ideal model of dissecting immunological events during in vivo tumorigenesis. 相似文献

Specificities of killing by cytotoxic lymphocytes generated in vivo and in vitro to syngeneic SV40 transformed cells. 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Cell-mediated immunity to SV40-transformed C3H and C3H-SW cell lines was measured by using both 51Cr and 125IUdR release assays. Killing by cytotoxic cells generated on in vitro sensitization of immune spleen cells with syngeneic SV40 cells by either assay is specific for syngeneic SV40 transformants. Cytolysis mediated by in vitro sensitized cells is ablated by treatment of the effector cells with anti-theta serum and complement. Intraperitoneal immunization with syngeneic SV40 cells yields two distinct killer-cell populations in the peritoneal exudate when assayed by 125IUdR release. The first, nylon wool nonadherent and sensitive to anti-theta and complement, is indistinguishable from the killers generated in vitro. The second population, present in larger numbers and more efficient on a per-cell basis in killing of SV40 targets than the first, is nylon adherent and is not removed by treatment with anti-theta and complement. This second population will kill any SV40 transformed target, whether syngeneic or allogeneic. The possible roles of T cell and non-T cell effectors in rejection of syngeneic SV40 tumors are discussed. 相似文献

Human cells transformed in vitro by SV40 rarely form tumors in nude mice. We examined whether these cells as a group are inherently nontumorigenic or whether they are potentially tumorigenic but rejected by the athymic host, possibly by nonspecific immune mechanisms. SV80 and NG8 are SV40-transformed human cell lines that express all of the transformed properties, including anchorage-independent growth, but do not form tumors in adult nude mice after injection of as many as 10(8) cells. Both the SV80 and NG8 cell lines have SV40-specific transplantation antigens which crossreact with those present on SV40-transformed (but tumorigenic) rodent cells. We found that SV80 cells, though not NG8 cells, induced progressively growing lethal tumors if the cells are injected repeatedly into neonatal nude mice. Somatic cell hybrids between SV80 or NG8 cells and a highly tumorigenic cell line derived from a human tumor continue to express the virus-induced antigens and fail to form tumors in adult nude mice. These results strongly suggest that at least for some SV40-transformed human cells, the failure to form tumors in nude mice may be due to their expression of virus-induced transplantation antigens rather than the absence of tumorigenic potential. 相似文献

Multiple antigenic sites on the simian virus 40 (SV40) tumor-specific transplantation antigen (TSTA) were detected by the use of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) clones isolated from continuous cultures of SV40-specific CTL (H-2b). Two independently derived clones, K11 and K19, specific for the SV40 TSTA in association with H-2Db, each recognized a different antigenic determinant of the SV40 TSTA. This conclusion was based on the observation that a human papovavirus BK virus (BKV) transformed cell line, which possesses a T antigen serologically cross-reactive with that of SV40, was lysed by a heterogeneous population of SV40-immune lymphocytes and by clone K19 but not by K11. Therefore, these CTL clones must recognize two different antigenic determinants of the SV40 TSTA:K19 recognizes a cross-reactive determinant of the SV40 and BKV TSTA, whereas K11 is reactive against an SV40-specific determinant. 相似文献

The present study was aimed at gaining insight into means by which stimulation of mouse spleen cells with allogeneic normal cells in mixed leukocyte cultures (MLC) can result in the generation of effector cells cytotoxic for syngeneic tumor or transformed cells. Stimulation of lymphocytes from BALB/c or C3H mice for 5 days with cells from mice of every allogeneic strain tested, in medium containing mouse serum and lacking xenogeneic serum, resulted in the activation of effectors cytotoxic for syngeneic cells transformed spontaneously or by SV40, polyoma or adenovirus. In each experiment, all of the syngeneic transformed cell lines, as well as clones derived from these lines, were lysed to the highest degree by effectors obtained from the same culture, and therefore stimulated with cells from the same allogeneic strain. Although the particular allogeneic sensitizing strain that induced the highest cytolytic activity varied between experiments, effectors obtained from the culture with the highest cell recovery always exhibited the greatest cytotoxicity against all the syngeneic transformed cells and clones. Lysis was mediated predominantly by Ly-2+ effectors; total lytic units of cytotoxicity recovered after treatment with monoclonal anti-Ly-2 antibody and complement (C) were reduced by 85 to 90% compared to cells treated with C alone. Lysis of syngeneic tumor cells by the allosensitized effectors in cytotoxicity assays was not inhibited by the addition of unlabeled "blocking" lymphocytes from the allogeneic strain used for sensitization. In addition, it was found that lymphocytes cultured without stimulating cells for 5 days in medium supplemented with supernatants from secondary MLC that are known to contain high levels of lymphokines, mediated high levels of cytotoxicity on all the transformed cells tested, but lacked detectable cytotoxic activity for syngeneic or allogeneic Con A blasts. The MLC supernatant-activated effectors that lyse the transformed cells are phenotypically CTL, because treatment with anti-Ly-2 and C reduced lytic activity by approximately 75%. Taken together, these findings suggest that the generation in MLC of Ly-2+ effector cells cytotoxic for syngeneic transformed cell lines might not be due, in some cases, to lymphocyte responses to particular alloantigens on the stimulating cells that are cross-reactive with "alien" histocompatibility antigens on transformed cells, but rather is due to effector cell activation by lymphokines produced during allogeneic stimulation. 相似文献

Antibody blockade of cell-mediated lysis was used to probe the cell surface structures recognized by T lymphocytes generated to syngeneic SV40 virus-transformed mouse cells. Alloantisera to H-2 antigens were highly effective in inhibiting lysis. Anti-H2 antibody blockade of lysis was haplotype specific even on transformed F1 target cells. Inhibition occurred only when antibody was bound to the target cell. Antibody binding to the effector did not inhibit lysis. Inhibition required that antibody be bound to the H-2 molecule itself; antibody to molecules associated with H-2, such as beta2-microglobulin, had no effect. Attempts to block lysis by using antisera to known virus-coded molecules were uniformly unsuccessful. These results are discussed in light of current controversy concerning the nature of the SV40 virus-specific transplantation antigen. 相似文献

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes from mice bearing minor histoincompatible tumor cells in the anterior chamber (AC) or subconjunctival (SCon) space of the eye have been shown to contain large numbers of tumor-specific precursor cytotoxic T cells. Because SCon tumors eventually acquire directly cytotoxic, tumor-specific T cells and are rejected by their hosts and because AC tumors never acquire cytotoxic effector cells and are not rejected, we have examined tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes from both types of ocular tumors for the capacity to secrete lymphokines in response to in vitro stimulation with tumor cells. The results indicate that T "helper" cells were able to infiltrate both SCon and AC tumors. In the former, T cells capable of secreting IL-2 and IL-4 were found whereas in the latter only IL-2-secreting T cells were detected. These findings implicate a defect in local delivery of appropriate T cell help as the reason why AC tumors are not rejected. The failure of AC tumor-bearing mice to destroy their tumors correlates not only with defective delivery of local help but with a systemic inability to produce tumor-specific T cells that can secrete IL-2 and IL-4. Because these mice also generate down-regulatory T cells that suppress the expression of tumor-specific delayed hypersensitivity, they appear to have an immunologically mediated block in T helper cell differentiation which renders them unable to generate either T helper 1 or T helper 2 cells. This immunologic abnormality is discussed in terms of tumor rejection and the phenomenon of immunologic privilege. 相似文献

Presence of the simian virus 40 (SV40) has recently been demonstrated in a relatively high percentage of human mesotheliomas and it is associated with the development of these malignancies in pleural cavities. Therefore, we have initiated a study to identify candidate peptides presented by the human HLA-A*0201 molecule for vaccination approaches against SV40 and monitoring of SV40 directed human immune responses. Initial screening of SV40 large T (Tag) domains required for transformation of cells for HLA-A*0201 binding motifs revealed ten possible binding peptides. Screening of these candidate peptides showed that seven of the ten peptides could bind and stabilize HLA-A*0201 molecules. In an in vitro immunization assay the two peptides with the highest binding affinity for HLA-A*0201, Tag aa 396-405 and aa 577-585, were tested for their ability to induce peptide specific cytotoxic T cells in two healthy donors. One donor developed cytotoxic T cells against Tag aa 396-405 and in T cell cultures of both donors Tag aa 577-585 specific T cells were initiated. The T cells against Tag aa 577-585 not only recognized and killed peptide pulsed cells, but, most importantly, SV40 transformed human mesothelial cells. This is the first demonstration of the induction of SV40 specific human cytotoxic T lymphocytes that recognize endogenously processed peptides from SV40. This peptide identification study opens the possibility to investigate immune responses against SV40 in mesothelioma patients and in individuals exposed to SV40. 相似文献

Alloimmune murine thymus-derived cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTL) generated in vivo or in vitro are shown to lyse antigen-nonspecific target cells (tumor cells, Con A, and LPS blasts) following treatment of CTL with an oxidizing agent, sodium periodate (NaIO4). It has been shown that NaIO4 oxidizes terminal sialic acid residues of cell surface macromolecules. The presence of reactive aldehyde groups, generated by NaIO4 modification, is required for the expression of antigen-nonspecific cytotoxicity because treatment of modified cells with a reducing agent such as potassium borohydride (KBH4) resulted in the abrogation of cytotoxicity. However, KBH4 treatment of unmodified or NaIO4-modified CTL has no effect on antigen-specific cytotoxicity. The modification of CTL by NaIO4 is sufficient to lead to the formation of lymphocyte-target cell conjugates and lysis of bound targets. Monoclonal antibodies directed against the Lyt-2 antigens of CTL, but not Lyt-1 antigens, in the absence of complement inhibited the nonspecific cytotoxicity resulting from NaIO4 modification of effector lymphocytes. These findings suggest that the mere interaction with or perturbation of appropriate cell surface molecule(s) of effector lymphocytes such as Lyt antigens by receptor-ligand interaction in SCMC or by NaIO4 modification in ODCC may lead to the expression of cytotoxicity. The present studies demonstrate a functional role of surface carbohydrates on CTL in cell-to-cell recognition and interactions. Furthermore, the results suggest that target cell modification is not a requisite for recognition and lysis in an antigen-nonspecific cytotoxic system such as ODCC. However, partial blocking of ODCC by alloantibodies directed against the H-2 of unmodified target cells suggests that NaIO4-modified CTL recognize unrelated target H-2 antigens. The implication of these findings on the molecular mechanism of cell-mediated cytotoxicity is discussed. 相似文献

Sensitivity of simian virus 40-transformed C57BL/6 mouse embryo fibroblasts to lysis by murine natural killer cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The susceptibility of mouse cells expressing full-length or truncated transforming protein (T antigen) of simian virus 40 (SV40) to lysis by murine natural killer (NK) cells was assessed. For these studies, C57BL/6 mouse embryo fibroblasts (B6/MEF) were transformed by transfection with SV40 DNA encoding the entire T antigen. The transformed cell lines were tested for susceptibility to lysis by nonimmune CBA splenocytes as a source of NK cells and to lysis by C57BL/6, SV40-specific cytolytic T cells (CTL). It was found that 13 of 15 clonally derived, SV40-transformed H-2b cell lines were susceptible to lysis by NK cells. However, there was some variation in their susceptibility to lysis by NK cells. There was no correlation between susceptibility to lysis by SV40-specific CTL and to lysis by NK cells. Cells transfected with a plasmid which encodes only the N-terminal half of the SV40 T antigen were consistently less susceptible to lysis by NK cells, suggesting that expression of only the N-terminus of the T antigen was insufficient for optimal susceptibility to lysis by NK cells. Primary mouse embryo fibroblasts transformed by human adenovirus type 5 E1 region DNA were also found to be susceptible to NK cell-mediated lysis. Lysis of SV40-transformed cells by nonimmune CBA splenocytes was mediated by NK cells because: lysis was augmented when the effector cells were treated with interferon before assay; and lysis was abrogated when the effector cells were obtained from mice that had been depleted of NK activity by treatment with antiserum against the asialo GM1 surface marker. These results indicate that primary mouse cells which are transformed by SV40 and which express the native T antigen are susceptible to lysis by mouse NK cells. Conversely, cells transformed by a plasmid encoding only the N-terminal half of the T antigen express reduced susceptibility to lysis by NK cells. 相似文献

Adoptive immunotherapy of a newly induced sarcoma: immunologic characteristics of effector cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A newly induced syngeneic transplantable sarcoma, MCA 105, was used for studies of the biologic characteristics of fresh noncultured and secondarily in vitro sensitized (IVS) cells with antitumor reactivity. Fresh spleen cells harvested from mice immunized to the MCA 105 tumor by a mixture of viable tumor cells and Corynebacterium parvum exhibited no detectable cytotoxic activity to MCA 105 tumor targets in a 4-hr chromium-release assay, and adoptive transfer of these cells mediated the specific regression of established MCA 105 tumors. Phenotypic analysis of fresh, noncultured immune cells revealed that the therapeutically effective cells expressed both the Lyt-1 and the Lyt-2 T cell differentiation antigens. The therapeutic efficacy of fresh noncultured immune cells was not augmented by the concomitant administration of exogeneous interleukin 2 (IL 2). Secondary IVS of fresh immune cells with irradiated MCA 105 tumor stimulator cells resulted in the generation of tumor-specific cytotoxic effector cells. The generation of cytotoxic effector cells required Lyt-1+, 2+ cytotoxic precursor cells. Effective adoptive immunotherapy with these IVS immune cells, unlike fresh noncultured immune cells, depended on the concomitant administration of IL 2. Furthermore, the generation of therapeutically effective cells did not require the specific stimulation by MCA 105 tumor cells, because cultures of MCA 105 immune spleen cells with FBL-3 lymphoma cells in vitro also contained in vivo functional immune effector cells. These cells, however, possessed no detectable MCA 105 cytotoxic activity in vitro. Although this observation suggests that a noncytotoxic cell population is sufficient to initiate tumor regression in vivo, it does not exclude the possibility that cytolytic cells are generated in vivo after adoptive transfer of these cells. As a whole, our results indicate that secondary IVS functional immune effector cells are characteristically distinct from freshly harvested immune cells. 相似文献

Studies were undertaken to evaluate the cytotoxic capacity of human peripheral blood lymphocytes activated by either supernatants (CFM) derived from lymphocyte cultures or lymphocytes treated for 60 min at 45 degrees C. The effect of the addition of heat-treated cells on the cytotoxic activity of CFM-induced effector cells was also studied. CFM from either unmixed or mixed cultures of lymphocytes was capable of activating cytotoxic effector cells. These effector cells could kill any allogeneic target cells but failed to effect cytotoxicity on the target cells autologous to the responding cells. Both the heat-treated cells and CFM from cultures of these cells also activated lymphocytes to cytotoxic effector cells having specific receptors for nonself antigens. The question of whether heat-treated cells activate cytotoxic cells by themselves or through secreted soluble factor cannot yet be clearly answered. The findings of the present investigation suggest that expression of cytotoxicity induced in MLC is not necessarily restricted to the target cells syngeneic to the stimulator cells, but can be extended to any allogeneic target cells by the indirect effect of soluble factor secreted from stimulated cells that causes a polyclonal activation of cytotoxic precursors in the responding cell populations. The present findings also emphasize the need for caution in the use of heat-treated lymphocytes as innocent-bystander cells in MLC to provide additional cytotoxic specificities in the responder cells, since heat-treated cells alone can activate lymphocytes to cytotoxic effector cells that kill any allogeneic target cells. 相似文献

The coexistence of tumor progression with a tumor-specific immune response constitutes a major paradox of tumor immunity. During the last decade, the presence of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) recognising melanoma-associated antigens has been unequivocally demonstrated in numerous different in vivo and in vitro models. However, most often these melanoma-specific T lymphocytes do not control tumor growth. Several mechanisms that involve changes in melanoma phenotype and/or in T-cell differentiation and function could explain the inability of the immune response to control melanoma. In the last few years it has been demonstrated that cellular cytotoxicity is the result of a balance between activating signals triggered by the TCR and costimulatory molecules and inhibitory signals triggered by inhibitory receptors expressed by the CTL. Because the final outcome of the immune response against melanoma depends on the balance between activating and inhibitory signals, the expression de novo on melanoma cells of ligands for inhibitory NKRs and the down-regulation of costimulatory molecules may favor the escape of tumor cells from immunosurveillance. In this paper we review how altered expression of molecules required for T-cell costimulation could result in impaired lysis of melanoma. The modulation of antimelanoma T-cell responses by a group of receptors originally described on NK cells (NK-associated receptors) but which are now known also to be expressed on a subset of cytolytic effector cells is reviewed. We hypothesize that the expression of ligands for NKRs on melanoma cells may contribute to T-cell-mediated immune responses against melanoma either enhancing or inhibiting activation and differentiation to effector cells. Blocking inhibitory receptors or increasing activating receptors could result in new strategies to improve T-cell-mediated rejection of melanoma. 相似文献

Although the extensive family of non-H-2 histocompatibility (H) antigens provides a formidable barrier to transplantation, the origin of their encoding genes are unknown. Recent studies have demonstrated both the linkage between H genes and retroviral sequences and the ability of integrated Moloney-murine leukemia virus to encode what is operationally defined as a non-H-2 H antigen. The experiments described in this communication reveal that skin grafts from an SV40 T-antigen transgenic C57BL/6 mouse strain are rejected by coisogenic C57BL/6 recipients with a median survival time of 49 days, which is comparable to those of many previously defined non-H-2 H antigens. The specificity of this response for SV40 T-antigen was demonstrated by the identification of SV40 T-antigen-specific cytolytic T lymphocytes and antibodies in multiply-grafted recipients. Although these cytolytic T lymphocytes could detect SV40 T-antigen on syngeneic SV40-transformed fibroblasts, they neither could be stimulated by splenic lymphocytes from T-antigen transgenics nor could they lyse lymphoblast targets from T-antigen transgenics. These observations suggest a limited tissue distribution of SV40 T-antigen in these transgenics. These results confirm the role of viral genes in the determination of non-H-2 histocompatibility antigenes by the strict criteria that such antigenes stimulate (1) tissue graft rejection and (2) generation of cytolytic T lymphocytes. Furthermore, they suggest that the SV40 enhancer and promoter region can target expression of SV-40 T-antigen to skin cells of transgenic animals. 相似文献

The association between the level of class I major histocompatibility (MHC) antigen expression and the tumorigenic phenotype was determined for cells from a series of 15 lines of adenovirus type 2 (Ad2)-, Ad12-, and simian virus 40 (SV40)-transformed hamster cells and 16 lines of cells established from hamster tumors induced by SV40 mutants. These cells range from nontumorigenic to highly tumorigenic in both syngeneic and allogeneic adult hamsters. The Ad2-transformed cells--cells that were nontumorigenic in syngeneic adult hamsters--expressed either high levels or low levels of class I MHC antigens. The SV40-transformed cells--cells transformed in vitro that produced tumors with equal efficiency in both syngeneic and allogeneic adult hamsters--or cells derived from SV40-induced tumors expressed very high levels of class I MHC antigens. The Ad12-transformed cells uniformly expressed low levels of class I MHC antigens; these cells produced tumors 200- to 1,000-fold less efficiently in allogeneic adult hamsters than in syngeneic adult hamsters and produced tumors with about the same efficiency in immunoimmature newborns and immunocompetent syngeneic adult hamsters. We conclude that the expression of either high levels or low levels of class I MHC antigens is, at most, a minor factor in the differences observed among these adenovirus- and SV40-transformed cells in their tumor-inducing capacity in naive, immunocompetent hamsters. 相似文献

Summary Syngeneic or allogeneic cells transformed by BK virus (BKV) were used to immunize C57BL/6J mice. After in vitro stimulation, lymphocytes prepared from the spleens of immunized mice were used in in vitro cytotoxicity tests. The results of these tests revealed the presence of a cell surface antigen, presumably corresponding to the viral transplantation antigen, common to all tested BKV- and SV40-transformed cell lines of C57BL/6J origin. An allogeneic cell line transformed by BKV also contained the same antigen. Immunization, i.e., in vivo priming, did not require syngeneic transformed cells, whereas cytolysis was only observed when the virus-specific antigen on target cells was associated with the same H2 haplotype as was expressed by effector cells. An additional unidentified antigen was shared by some of the BKV-transformed cell lines and cell lines transformed by simian adenovirus SA7. 相似文献
