Spleen cells were modified with varying concentrations of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid and then assayed for both their ability to stimulate syngeneic spleen cells into displaying a cytotoxic effect against TNP-modified target cells and for the extent of TNP derivatization of H-2 antigens. It was found that there was a direct correlation between the extent of derivatization of H-2 antigens and the ability of such derivatized cells to act as stimulator cells in the TNP-CML assay. Thus, these data lend support to the altered self or interaction antigen hypothesis as the explanation for the H-2 gene restriction of syngeneic CML. Target cells were also modified with TNBS at varying concentrations to determine the optimal concentration required to permit lysis in the CML assay. The results of these experiments indicate that similar concentration ranges of TNBS are required to create antigenic determinants on the target cells as well as immunogenic determinants on the stimulator cells that can be recognized by cytotoxic T cells.  相似文献

Splenic lymphoblasts or normal spleen cells were treated with varying concentrations of TNBS in order to assess whether cell membrane H-2 molecules were derivatized with TNP. Cells treated with high concentrations of TNBS had their cell membrane H-2 molecules derivatized and functioned antigenically as inhibitors in a cold target TNP-CML competition assay. In contrast, cells derivatized with lower concentrations of TNBS had a significant proportion of their membrane proteins derivatized with TNP but did not have their H-2 molecules derivatized. These latter cells were unable to block anti-TNP cytotoxic effector cells in the competition assay. When cells were treated with 3H-TNBS, it was observed that TNP couples to cell membrane H-2, Ia and Ig molecules, and an estimate of the number of TNP molecules bound per cell at varying concentrations of TNBS was determined. The data obtained are consistent with there being a requirement for TNP to directly derivatize H-2 molecules on the cell membrane in order to create antigenic determinants that can be recognized by cytotoxic anti-TNP effector cells. As an alternative, there may be a requirement for the presence of a high density of TNP molecules per cell rather than direct H-2 derivatization by TNP in order to account for activity.  相似文献

Spleen cells were treated with TNBS in order to determine if cell surface H-2 antigens are derivatized with TNP. By labeling the cell membrane of the TNP-modified cells with 125I, followed by detergent lysis and immune precipitation with anti-TNP, it was determined that no H-2 antigenic activity remained in the supernatant. Further, by the use of an antibody-induced antigen redistribution assay it was found that previous exposure to TNP-modified cells to anti-TNP in the absence of complement rendered these cells resistant to lysis by anti-H-2 in the presence of complement. Together these data indicate that at the concentration of TNBS used for modification, H-2 antigens are derivatized with TNP. However, in addition to H-2, other proteins including immunoglobulin were also derivatized with TNP. Anti-TNP cytotoxic effector cells were blocked from their cytotoxic activity by anti-TNP antiserum. These data indicate that TNP directly couples to H-2 antigens on the cell surface of TNP-modified cells and that TNP is associated with the antigenic determinant that the cytotoxic T cell recognizes.  相似文献

Splenic T or B cells, which have been depleted of adherent cells by passage through Sephadex G10 columns, fail to stimulate allogeneic lymph-node cells (LN) in primary mixed lymphocyte reactions (MLR) both when the stimulating antigens are H-2 plus Ia and H-2K only. This failure cannot be ascribed to lack of viability of G10-passed cells, since by dye exclusion they are 95 percent viable and can be induced to proliferate in vitro by exposure to LPS or allogeneic cells. Stimulation of MLR activity could be restored by addition of small numbers of plastic-adherent spleen cells (SAC) which had to be syngeneic with the G10-passed stimulator cells. Further, SAC alone without G10-passed cells induced MLR activity which was, on a cell-for-cell basis, 40 times more effective than that induced by unfractionated spleen cells. If the SAC were first depleted of Ia+ cells, no stimulation was obtained. This result was observed both in cases where responder and stimulator strains differed across the entireH-2-gene complex and in a mutant-wild type combination (CBA and H-2km1) in which the difference between the two strains has been mapped to theK region only. These results indicate that Ia+ SAC contain a subset(s) of cells which are responsible for stimulation in MLR, regardless of whether the alloantigenic differences involve either Ia or H-2K. In contrast to the inability of G10-passed splenic cells to stimulate MLR activity, these cells were able to stimulate CTL from cytotoxic T lymphocyte precursors (CTL.P) in combinations where the antigenic differences between responder and stimulator were at the entireH-2 complex or atH-2K only. However, SAC were more potent stimulators of cell-mediated lympholysis (CML) activity on a cell-for-cell basis. Thus, either CTL.P can be stimulated by nonadherent spleen cells or they are specifically sensitive to a small subpopulation of contaminating cells that cannot readily be removed by G10 passage.  相似文献

Thymus and lymph nodes from the A.TL recombinant line were utilized as sources of responding cells in MLR (mixed lymphocyte response) assays to MHC-determined (major histocompatibility complex) antigenic differences. Cells from both sources were stimulated to proliferate by antigenic determinants controlled by the H-2K region alone, H-2D region and the H-2I-H-2S regions. Nylon-fiber-adherent splenic cells from each of the stimulating cell strains stimulated T-cell-dependent responses. Synergistic interactions between A.TL thymus and lymph node cells were initiated by antigenic products limited to single H-2 regions. Antigenic differences determined within the H-2I region were not required for synergistic responses to H-2K-controlled products or for the generation of cytotoxic killer cells to H-2D-associated antigens. The H-2I-region-associated products also were very effective in stimulating T-cell synergy. These data demonstrate that the two responsive T-cell subpopulations can both be stimulated by alloantigens coded within a single known H-2 region.  相似文献

The present study investigates the effects of i.v. presensitization with class II H-2-disparate allogeneic cells on various L3T4+ T cell functions including the capability of rejecting the corresponding allogeneic skin graft. C57BL/6 (B6) mice were i.v. presensitized with class II H-2 disparate B6-C-H-2bm12 (bm12) spleen cells. Such presensitization did not affect the bm12-specific L3T4+ T cell-mediated proliferative and interleukin 2 (IL-2)-producing capacities. A single cell suspension of (B6 x bm12)F1 spleen cells was depleted of APC by two round-passages over Sephadex G-10 columns. This APC-depleted fraction of (B6 x bm12)F1 cells failed to stimulate B6 responding cells in mixed lymphocyte reactions (MLR). The addition of recombinant IL-1 to the MLR restored anti-bm12 MLR responses, indicating that APC-depleted (B6 x bm12)F1 cells bear bm12 alloantigens but are unable to stimulate B6 anti-bm12 L3T4+ T cells. A single i.v. administration of APC-depleted (B6 x bm12)F1 cells into B6 mice resulted in almost complete abrogation of the capacity of recipient B6 lymphoid cells to give anti-bm12 MLR and IL2 production. This suppression was bm12 alloantigen-specific and attributed to the elimination or functional impairment of anti-bm12 T cell clones rather than the induction of suppressor cells. The tolerance was also observed in graft-rejection responses. The strikingly prolonged survival of bm12 skin grafts was produced when grafts were implanted into B6 mice which had been presensitized with APC-depleted, but not with untreated (B6 x bm12)F1 spleen cells. These results indicate that allo-class II H-2 antigen-reactive L3T4+ T cells are rendered tolerant by i.v. presensitization with APC-depleted fraction of the corresponding allogeneic cells.  相似文献

B10.A (H-2Kk, H-2Dd) ectromelia-immune T cells from secondary responses in vitro were protent killers of both infected L929 (H-2Kk H-2Dk) and infected P-815 (H-2Kd, H-2Db) target cells. Specific competition with unlabelled targets showed that two separate T cell subsets were responsible for lysis of infected L929 and infected P-815 cells. One hypothesis to account for this (a form of "physiological interaction") is that T cells which kill one target e.g. infected L929) display only one out of two possible self-complementary recognition structures, in this example the H-2Kk alloantigen, not H-2Dd, whereas T cells that lyse infected P-815 targets display only H-2Dd, not H-2Kk. This hypothesis was tested and seems untenable because of the following results: A.TH (H-2Ks, H-2Dd) ectromelia-immune, secondary cytotoxic T cells which killed infected SJL/J (H-2Ks, H-2Ds) targets were themselves inactivated by pre-incubation with SJL/J cytotoxic T cells generated in one-way mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) against BALB/c (H-2Kd, H-2Dd). A.TL (H-2Ks, H-2Dd) ectromelia-immune secondary cytotoxic T cells which killed infected BALB/c targets were themselves inactivated by BALB/c cytotoxic T cells generated in MLR against SJL/J. Thus, virus-immune T cells which lyse infected targets by virtue of shared H-2K are also displaying H-2D alloantigen, and vice versa.  相似文献

The H-2da haplotype was derived from the H-2d haplotype by a mutation localized to the D end of the H-2 complex. Coculture of H-2d and H-2da spleen cells gives rise to bidirectional MLR. However, the H-2d anti-H-2da response is much stronger than that of H-2da anti-H-2d. Both haplotypes give rise to reciprocal CML. B10.D2(R103) strain spleen cells, which differ only at the D end of the H-2 complex from the H-2d haplotype, kill H-2da target cells in CML when sensitized to H-2d stimulators and vice versa. Therefore, both the mutant and strain of origin share a D end CML specificity. H-2d and H-2da reject skin grafts in both directions, although some H-2d grafts show prolonged acceptance on H-2da recipients. These data are consistent with a mutation in the D end of the H-2d haplotype resulting in gain-loss of an antigen(s) that gives rise to reciprocal MLR, CML, and skin graft rejection. Further, the mutant can be distinguished from the strain of origin on the basis of the strength of immune response in MLR.  相似文献

The role of the recently defined L antigen (a second D region product) in allogeneic and TNP-specific syngeneic primary CML responses has been investigated. The lysis by anti-L specific cytotoxic effector cells was not inhibited when the target cells were pretreated with an antiserum directed against K and D, whereas an antiserum against L completely abrogated this response. Therefore, H-2L products are recognized on the target cell independently of H-2K and H-2D locus products. Both A.SW cells as well as B10 cells were found to respond to Ld alloantigens, in addition to Dd alloantigens when stimulated by cells differing only in the D region. The results of cold target blocking and antiserum inhibition experiments failed to detect cytotoxic cells with specificity of L antigens in association with TNP, under conditions in which TNP-specific effectors to K and D antigens were demonstrable. These findings suggest that there is a more limited involvement of H-2L locus products than the H-2K or H-2D locus products in the induction and specificity of these responses.  相似文献

Summary Cytotoxic cells (CTCs) generated from peripheral blood lymphocytes of 5 chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients in remission on stimulation with autologous leukemic cells and allogeneic lymphocytes (3-cell assay), were propagated in vitro in interleukin-2 (IL-2)-containing medium and periodic stimulation with autologous leukemic cells, for a period of 4 to 6 months. During this period, the cells were assessed for phenotype and for cytotoxic responses in a 4-h 51Cr release microcytotoxicity assay. The CTCs continued to show specific lysis of autologous leukemic cells and bone marrow (BM) cells. However, the nonspecific lysis of natural killer (NK) targets and the proportion of cells showing NK phenotype (HNK-1 antigen) increased progressively on cultivation in IL-2-containing medium. Therefore cells showing CD8 phenotype and specific cytotoxic function were segregated by cloning CTCs under the condition of limiting dilution in the presence of allogeneic feeder cells and IL-2-containing medium. Three cytotoxic T cell (CTL) clones expressing CD3+, CD8+, and HLA DR+ phenotypes were obtained from CTCs of 2 CML patients. These clonoid populations, maintained in IL-2-containing medium and periodic antigenic stimulation with autologous leukemic cells, showed specific lysis of autologous leukemic cells and BM cells even at lower (10:1) effector:target ratios. They did not kill K562 (erythroblastoid leukemic NK target cell line) cells and autologous phytohemagglutinin-induced blasts. These clones apparently functioned in an MHC-restricted manner as they did not lyse allogeneic CML cells which would also express a similar set of maturation antigens if sensitization was, as it appeared, against these antigens. Finally, interaction of autologous BM cells with CTL clones reduced the colony forming potential of BM cells only to the extent of 18%–30%. The results therefore indicate that such CTL clones can possibly be used in adoptive immunotherapy as they showed minimal BM toxicity.  相似文献

Reconstitution of lethally irradiated mice with a mixture of T cell-depleted syngeneic plus T cell-depleted allogeneic bone marrow (B10 + B10.D2----B10) leads to the induction of mixed lymphopoietic chimerism, excellent survivals, specific in vivo transplantation tolerance to subsequent donor strain skin grafts, and specific in vitro unresponsiveness to allogeneic donor lymphoid elements as assessed by mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) proliferative and cell-mediated lympholysis (CML) cytotoxicity assays. When B10 recipient mice received mixed marrow inocula in which the syngeneic component had not been T cell depleted, whether or not the allogeneic donor marrow was treated, they repopulated exclusively with host-type cells, promptly rejected donor-type skin allografts, and were reactive in vitro to the allogeneic donor by CML and MLR assays. In contrast, T cell depletion of the syngeneic component of the mixed marrow inocula resulted in specific acceptance of allogeneic donor strain skin grafts, whether or not the allogeneic bone marrow was T cell depleted. Such animals were specifically unreactive to allogeneic donor lymphoid elements in vitro by CML and MLR, but were reactive to third party. When both the syngeneic and allogeneic marrow were T cell depleted, variable percentages of host- and donor-type lymphoid elements were detected in the mixed reconstituted host. When only the syngeneic bone marrow was T cell depleted, animals repopulated exclusively with donor-type cells. Although these animals had detectable in vitro anti-host (B10) reactivity by CML and MLR and reconstituted as fully allogeneic chimeras, they exhibited excellent survival and had no in vivo evidence for graft-vs-host disease. In addition, experiments in which untreated donor spleen cells were added to the inocula in this last group suggest that the presence of T cell-depleted syngeneic bone marrow cells diminishes graft-vs-host disease and the mortality from it. This system may be helpful as a model for the study of alloresistance and for the identification of syngeneic cell phenotypes, which when present prevent engraftment of allogeneic marrow.  相似文献

The ability of heat-treated allogeneic cells to induce suppressor cells was examined. The tumor cell lines EL-4 (H-2b) and P815-X2 (H-2d), were heated to 56 °C for 10 min and injected intravenously into mice of the DBA/2J (H-2d) and C57BL/6J (H-2b) strains, respectively. After 4 days, the splenocytes of the treated mice were mixed with normal spleen cells and cultured for 5 days with allogeneic tumor cells. The cytotoxic T-cell response was reduced in cultures of these cell mixtures. An allogeneic difference was required to induce suppression because the syngeneic combination did not induce suppressor cell activity. Furthermore, the induction of cytotoxic T cells to the C118 cell line (H-2k) was not suppressed by this procedure, which suggests that the suppression was haplotype specific. These suppressor cells were sensitive to anti-Thy 1.2 and complement, cortisone, and cyclophosphamide, but insensitive to irradiation. These are characteristics similar to suppressor cells activated by intact cells. Heat treatment abrogated the tumor cell's ability to induce a proliferative and a primary, but not a secondary, cytotoxic T-cell response. The heat-treated cells also lost their ability to function as cold target inhibitor cells, but retained the same quantity of serologically detected antigens as the intact cells. These results suggest that the serologically detected antigens are responsible for the activation of the suppressor cells of the cytotoxic T-cell response.  相似文献

Mastocytoma cells (P815 of the DBA/2 strain) treated with increasing concentrations of glutaraldehyde were concurrently evaluated for their ability to incorporate exogeneous uridine, thymidine, and amino acids. The antigenic expression and membrane integrity of these treated cells were assayed by measuring their susceptibility to lysis by antibody and complement and by T-effector cells. The concentrations of glutarladehyde required to effect target cell antigen display were greater than those required to inhibit totally the cell's protein and nucleic acid synthetic processes. Thus, P815 cells treated with 0.15% glutaraldehyde for 10 sec were unable to incorporate either amino acids or nucleotides into macromolecules, but were readily lysed by effector T cell populations, and by alloantibody in the presence of complement. Target cells treated with glutaraldehyde concentrations in excess of 0.25% for 10 sec were resistant to both forms of immune lysis. In keeping with these observations, monolayers of P815 cells treated for 10 sec with 0.15% glutaraldehyde, were capable of specifically depleting T-effector cells from a cytolytically-active spleen cell population. After treatment with higher concentrations of glutaraldehyde (0.3%), however, the monolayers lost their capacity to adsorb effector cells. Although P815 cells treated with glutaraldehyde continued to exhibit H-2d alloantigen, neither these cells nor glutaraldehyde-treated DBA/2 spleen cells induced significant blastogenesis or stimulated the production of cytolytically active effector cells in mixed leukocyte cultures.  相似文献

This report describes a method of growing soft agar colonies of human T lymphocytes activated in the MLR. Two types of colonies were demonstrated: lower colonies grew within the agar layer, and upper colonies grew on the surface of the agar layer. Three days of priming the lymphocytes in the MLR and the use of supernatants of day-3 MLR cultures to provide T cell colony growth factor were necessary for optimal colony formation. Lymphocytes obtained from colonies were grown in long-term (2 to 4 weeks) cultures to generate sufficient numbers of cells to be tested in different functional assays. Cells from both types of colonies exhibited PLT activity. Upper colony cells showed considerably higher CML activity than lower colony cells (mean percent cytotoxicity 37 +/- 5 vs 6 +/- 3). Cells from both types of colonies contained radiosensitive suppressor cell activity that inhibited the primary MLR. The suppressor cell effect of lower colony cells was specific for the original stimulator, but upper colony cells displayed nonspecific suppressive effects. For both types of colony cells, it appeared that suppressive effects were unrelated to the CML activity of these cells. These data suggest that the soft agar colony assay offers a promising approach to separate subpopulations of lymphocytes activated in the MLR.  相似文献

Cell-mediated lympholysis (CML) reactions were studied among four strains of C57BL/6 (B6) mice carrying mutant alleles (H-2 ba ,H-2 bd ,H-2 bg , andH-2 bh ) at thez1 locus in theK end ofH-2 b and the original B6 (H-2 b ) strain. Cross killing of target cells from lines that had not participated in the mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) was extensive, but usually less intense than that of target cells of stimulator cell genotype. The extent of CML crossreactivity could be limited by using cells from F1 hybrid mice as responders in MLR. In a comprehensive analysis of the cytotoxicity exerted by 20 MLR combinations with homozygous, and 10 MLR combinations with F1 hybrid responder cells, 19 different CML cytotoxicity patterns were identified, corresponding to at least 19 different CML target specificites. When the number of CML mismatches of each mutant with the originalH-2 b was calculated,H-2 ba was found to be most distinct fromH-2 b ,H-2 bs andH-2 bd were closest toH-2 b , andH-2 bh occupied an intermediate position. The validity of this sequence of relatedness is supported by published reports on skin graft survival times and on the interaction of T lymphocytes with virus-infected target cells using cells fromz1 locus mutants.  相似文献

Murine histocompatibility antigens were solubilized from the spleens and lungs of C57BL/6 (H-2b) animals with hypertonic salt (3 M KC1). Aggregate-free soluble antigens were incubated with nonadherent lymph node cells from BALB/c (H-2d) mice for 18 hr prior to their use as responder cells in the mixed-lymphocyte reaction (MLR). It was found that the generation of cytotoxic cells was suppressed while the proliferative response was not affected. The observed suppression was not due to a shift in the kinetics of the generation of cytotoxicity as determined throughout a 10-day culture period. The suppression was specific in that the response in MLR to unrelated H-2f stimulator cells and the subsequent generation of cytotoxic cells were unchanged. Using various H-2 recombinant strains as target cells in the assay of cell-mediated lympholysis, suppression of cytotoxicity was observed when the D end, but not the K end, was shared with the C57BL/6 strain from which the antigens were derived.  相似文献

YAC tumor, a Moloney virus-induced lymphoma of A mice, considerably changes its immunogenic properties following cultivation for 12 to 14 hr in vitro. The cultivated tumor, designated YAC-1, generates anti-YAC and anti-YAC-1 reactive cells, while the original YAC tumor generates suppressor cells with abrogate anti-YAC and anti-YAC-1 cytotoxic responses. In this report, we demonstrate by cold target competition experiments that YAC-1 and YAC tumors have distinctive antigenic structures on their surfaces. We have also found that RBL5, a Rauscher virus-induced lymphoma of C57BL/6 mice, generates anti-YAC, anti-YAC-1, and anti-RBL5 reactive cells in A mice. YAC-1 also generates reactive cells against the allogeneic RBL5 tumor. The total population of antitumor reactive cells was found to contain separate subpopulations directed maximally toward each of the three target tumors. The subpopulation directed toward each tumor was shown to be partially, but not completely, cross-reactive with the other tumors. Further, RBL5 priming and YAC-1 priming were shown to stimulate separate populations of antitumor reactive cells.  相似文献

This study examines the antigen that stimulate production or release of a soluble helper factor(s) involved in development of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Antigens associated with the Mls locus, I and K/D regions of the MHC were all capable of stimulating responder cells in MLC to produce helper factor. These supernatant fluids were all capable of providing "help" for the generation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes in MLC in which spleen cells are stimulated by allogeneic heat-treated thymocytes or splenocytes. Previous reports from our laboratory as well as others have shown that heat-treated cells do not stimulate a cytotoxic response. Heat-treatment of Mls, I, and H-2K/H-2D region incompatible stimulatory cells in MLC eliminated their ability to induce responder cells to produce helper factor, suggesting this is the mechanism whereby heat-treatment reduces the ability of cells to stimulate cell-mediated lympholysis (CML). The inability of supernatant fluids, from MLCs in which heat-treated cells were the stimulators, to assist in the generation of cytotoxic T cells did not appear to be the result of any suppressive factor induced by such treatment. Further, the antigens that stimulate pre-killer cells appear functionally distinct from those heat labile antigens (Mls, I, H-2K/H-2D associated) that stimulate helper factor production since heat-treated allogeneic cells served as stimulators of cytotoxicity provided helper activity was added to the MLC.  相似文献

137Cs-irradiated mouse spleen cells, in contrast to mitomycin-blocked cells, do not stimulate a mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) when cocultured with normal allogeneic lymphocytes. Attempts to find an irradiation dose which blocks the DNA-synthetic capability of alloantigenic cells, but which does not also render them unstimulatory in mixed cultures, have not been successful. Low-level irradiation (100–500 rad) does not completely block mitogen (PHA) reactivity, hence the target cells may be capable of participating in a two-way MLR. High-level irradiation (> 1000 rad), however, thoroughly blocks PHA-stimulated DNA synthesis and eliminates the capacity of these cells to stimulate an MLR. Potentiation of MLR by irradiated cells syngeneic with the reacting cell population was not possible in these experiments. Cell death and lysis in irradiated suspensions occurred during the 72-hr culture period. It is believed that a combination of cell lysis and irradiation-blocked metabolic events normally necessary for the MLR sufficies to explain the poor or nonexistent MLR's obtained in these experiments.  相似文献

Six semicongenic lines carrying differentt haplotypes on the background of strain C57BL/10Sn (B10.t strains) and a (B10 ×T/t 0) F1 hybrid were tested against one another in the mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) and cell-mediated lymphocytotoxicity (CML) assays. In every instance, the MLR results paralleled those of the CML typing: strain combinations giving a positive result in one assay gave a positive result in the second; combinations in which no response was observed in the MLR assay also failed to kill target cells specifically in the CML assay. Furthermore, the MLR and CML results were concordant with the results of the serological typing of these strains, as reported previously by us. The combined results suggest sharing ofH-2 hyplotypes between B10.t12 and B10.t32, between B10.t6 and B10.tw1, and between B10.tw2 and (B10. ×T/t 0) F1. These data support the conclusion, reached in our previous publication, that members of the samet-complementation group, with few exceptions, shareH-2 haplotypes.  相似文献
