Secondary cell-mediated responses to ectromelia virus infection were studied using an in vitro system. Lymphoid “responder” cells from mice which had recovered from intravenous primary infection at various times prior to sacrifice, were cultured with syngeneic, virus-infected macrophages or spleen cells as “stimulator” cells at 39 °C, a temperature which prevented the virus from exerting cytopathic effects against responder cells. This restrictive temperature and medium with 2-mercaptoethanol at 10?4M often gave viable cell yields of more than 100% of the original responder cells over 4 days of culture. Preliminary experiments showed that spleen cells from primed mice, cultured with syngeneic, infected spleen cells from normal mice gave the most powerful secondary cytotoxic cell responses as measured by 51Cr release from virusinfected H-2-compatible target cells. The cytotoxic cells were sensitive to anti-θ and complement treatment and lysed H-2-compatible, virus-infected target cells much more efficiently than infected, allogeneic target cells, thus indicating that they were T cells. Some activity against uninfected H-2-compatible target cells was also generated, but this was largely independent of the presence of virus-induced antigen, (i.e. infected stimulator cells were unnecessary) and therefore seemed to be a consequence of the cultural conditions. Cold target competition showed that this activity was the responsibility of a T cell subset separate from the virus-specific cytotoxic T cells. The peak of cytotoxic activity against virus-infected targets occurred at 4 days of culture and DNA synthesis was maximal on day 3. The concentration of cytotoxic T cells at the peak was eight-fold higher than at the peak of the splenic primary response in vivo, Memory T cells (precursors of secondary cytotoxic T cells) appeared in spleen within 12–14 days of primary infection in vivo, reached a plateau at 5–6 weeks and persisted for at least 16 months. Spleen cells appeared partly refractory to secondary stimulation in vitro at 8–10 days post-priming. This did not seem to be due to cellular migration from spleen to lymph nodes or peritoneal cavity, but its cause was not determined. Primary responses in vitro were not detectable under conditions optimal for secondary responses, thus suggesting a major quantitative, or qualitative difference between virgin and memory T cells. 相似文献

An in vitro culture method was used to study secondary cell-mediated responses to ectromelia virus infection in mice. Infected, syngeneic spleen cells or peritoneal cells were efficient "stimulator" cells when cultured with "responder" cells obtained from mice infected with ectromelia 4-6 weeks previously. The kinetics of generation of cytotoxic cells in cultures were determined; a peak occurred on days 4-5. A separation procedure performed on the cytotoxic cells showed that activity was associated mainly with the Ig-negative subpopulation (T cell-rich) and that H-2 compatibility between cytotoxic cells and target cells was required. The secondary response was virus-specific, at the level of both induction and target cell lysis, at least so far as ectromelia and lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM) viruses are concerned. Seperation of responder cells prior to culture showed that a potent secondary response was generated with the Ig-negative (T cell-rich) subpopulation and only a weak response was observed when the responder cells were Ig-positive (rich in B cells). Infected stimulator cells did not appear to secrete significant amounts of soluble antigen into the medium over 4 days of culture. Thus, antigenic patterns effective in memory T cell stimulation may be largely associated with the surfaces of infected cells.Pretreatment of ectromelia virus with UV- or gamma-irradiation did not impair its ability to induce antigenic changes in stimulator cells. Stimulator cells treated with UV-or gamma-irradiated virus for 1 h and then immediately with pactamycin to inhibit further viral protein synthesis and replication were efficient stimulators, thus indicating that antigenic changes are induced very rapidly on the surface of stimulator cells after uptake of virus. These treatments are being used to further characterize the cellular requirements in the stimulator population. 相似文献

Burkholderia mallei is a Gram-negative bacillus causing the disease glanders in humans. During intraperitoneal infection, BALB/c mice develop a chronic disease characterised by abscess formation where mice normally die up to 70 days post-infection. Although cytokine responses have been investigated, cellular immune responses to B. mallei infection have not previously been characterised. Therefore, the influx and activation status of splenic neutrophils, macrophages and T cells was examined during infection. Gr-1+ neutrophils and F4/80+ macrophages infiltrated the spleen 5 h post-infection and an increase in activated macrophages, neutrophils and T cells occurred by 24 h post-infection. Mice depleted of Gr-1+ cells were acutely susceptible to B. mallei infection, succumbing to the infection 5 days post-infection. Mice depleted of both CD4 and CD8 T cells did not succumb to the infection until 14 days post-infection. Infected μMT (B cell) and CD28 knockout mice did not differ from wildtype mice whereas iNOS-2 knockout mice began to succumb to the infection 30 days post-infection. The data presented suggests that Gr-1+ cells, activated early in B. mallei infection, are essential for controlling the early, innate response to B. mallei infection and T cells or nitric oxide are important during the later stages of infection. 相似文献

Moloney leukemia virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL), generated by secondary in vitro stimulation of spleen cells with syngeneic virus-infected cells, frequently lysed not only syngeneic virus-infected cells, but also noninfected allogeneic target cells. This phenomenon was studied with B6(H-2 b ) responder cells and a series of H-2K b -mutant responder cells. Thus, B6 Moloney-specific CTL lysed noninfected K b -mutant cells, but not B6 cells, whereas K b -mutant Moloney-specific CTL lysed noninfected B6 cells and not noninfected cells of the same mutant. Cold-target-inhibition studies showed that the CTL reactions against different allogeneic cells were mediated by different subpopulations of virus-specific CTL: lysis of allogeneic target cells was fully inhibited only by the same allogeneic and by syngeneic virus-infected cells, but not by another allogeneic cell, also lysed by the same effector-cell population. Lysis of syngeneic virus-infected cells could not be inhibited by allogeneic target cells. These data imply that a minority of virus-specific CTL shows cross-reactivity with a given allogeneic target cell. It is concluded that limited amino acid substitutions in the Kb molecule alter the repertoire of Moloney virus-specific CTL, as reflected in alloreactive CTL populations, even though the virus-specific CTL response. of B6 and all K b mutants is mainly Db-restricted. Thus, the development of tolerance to self class-I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules affects the repertoire of self-restricted cytotoxic T cells. 相似文献

Enhancement by interferon of natural killer cell activity in mice. 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Injection of mice with several interferon inducers, Newcastle Disease virus, polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid and tilorone resulted in an increase in spleen cell cytotoxicity for 51chromium-labeled mouse YAC tumor target cells in 4-hr in vitro assays. This increase in spleen cell cytotoxicity was abrogated by injection of mice with potent anti-mouse interferon globulin. Inoculation of mice with mouse interferon (but not human leucocyte or mock interferon preparations) also resulted in a marked enhancement of spleen cell cytotoxicity. The extent of enhancement of spleen cell cytotoxicity was directly proportional to the amount of interferon injected and a significant increase was observed after inoculation of as little as 103 to 104 units of interferon. An effect could be detected as soon as 1 hr after injection of interferon. The increase of spleen cell cytotoxicity after inoculation of an interferon inducer was not due to a localization and accumulation of cytotoxic cells in the spleen but reflected a general increase in cytotoxic cell activity in various lymphoid tissues (except the thymus). The splenic cytotoxic cells from interferon or interferon-inducer-injected mice had the characteristics of natural killer (NK) cells since (i) interferon enhanced spleen cell cytotoxicity in athymic (nu/nu) nude mice, (ii) classical spleen cell fractionation procedures by nylon wool columns, anti-Thy 1.2 serum plus complement, anti-Ig columns, and depletion of FcR+ rosette-forming cells, failed to remove the effector cells generated in vivo or in vitro. Therefore like NK cells, interferon-induced cytotoxic cells lack the surface markers of mature T and B lymphocytes, are not adherent, and are devoid of avid Fc receptors. Furthermore like NK cells, the spleen cells from interferon-treated mice lysed various target cells (known for their sensitivity to NK cells) without H-2 or species restriction. Incubation in vitro of normal spleen cells with interferon also resulted in an increase in cytotoxicity for YAC tumor cells. We conclude that interferon acts directly on NK cells and enhances the inherent cytotoxic activity of these cells. 相似文献

Peritoneal exudate cells from mice infected with ectromelia virus were cytotoxic for virus-infected target cells as measured in a 51Cr release assay. Cytotoxic activity seemed to be T cell-dependent as it was largely abolished by treatment with anti-theta serum and complement but was not impaired by macrophage depletion. The kinetics of development of cytotoxicity in the peritoneal cavity lagged behind spleen cytotoxicity by 1-2 days. Peak activity in peritoneal cells was present about 6 days after intravenous infection with virus. These studies suggest that macrophages present in the free peritoneal cell populations of ectromelia-infected mice are not cytotoxic for virus-infected target cells. The effect of macrophages in virus clearance is therefore likely to be due to phagocytic rather than cytotoxic effects. 相似文献

Parenteral immunization of mice with a given strain of type A influenza virus generates two subpopulations of cytotoxic T cells in the in vivo primary response. One subpopulation is specific for the immunizing virus; the other subpopulation cross-reacts with target cells infected with type A influenza virus of a different subtype. Both subpopulations are specific for target cells infected with type A influenza virus and optimally lyse only infected targets which are syngeneic at the H-2 gene locus. In vitro stimulation of previously primed spleen cells with cells infected with homologous virus generates both subpopulations in the secondary cytotoxic response. However, in vitro stimulation of primed cells with cells infected with heterologous type A virus of a different subtype specifically selects for the cross-reactive T-cell population. These results are discussed in terms of current models for T-cell recognition of virus-infected cells and possible mechanisms for cross-reaction between type A influenza viruses of different subtypes at the level of cytotoxic T cells. 相似文献

Several B 10 strains of mice, recombinant at theH-2 locus, have been shown to differ in their resistance to infection with ectromelia virus, a natural mouse pathogen. Of 10 strains, 1310, B 10.A(2R), B10.A(4R) and B10.D2 were the most resistant, while B10.G and B 10.A(5R) were the most susceptible. Other strains were intermediate between these extremes. Several genes conferring resistance have been mapped toD b in B10.A(2R),K k I-A k I-B k in B10.A,I-J b in B10.A(2R) and toD d in B 10.T(6R). In general, death among susceptible strains was not a consequence of acute liver necrosis as in other non-B10 strains, and occurred randomly from 8–14 days after infection. The exact cause of death is unknown but is characterized by persisting high titers of virus in the spleen and sometimes the liver, despite an ongoing immune response indicated by strong cytotoxic T-cell activity detectable in the spleens of all mice. The most resistant B10 and B10.A(2R) strains cleared virus from the spleen and liver by 8 days after infection. Analysis of infection in chimeric mice indicates thatH-2 genes, which determine susceptibility to virus persistence in the spleen, operate via radiosensitive cells of the lymphomyeloid system. This evidence, together with several examples ofH-2-linked differences in cytotoxic T-cell responsiveness between resistant and susceptible strains, is consistent with the hypothesis that the mechanism by whichH-2 genes control resistance to ectromelia virus in B10 strain mice is by their influence on the effectiveness of a cell-mediated immune response. 相似文献

The nature of infected stimulator cells in the in vitro secondary cytotoxic T cell response to ectromelia infection was investigated. It was found that macrophages were better stimulator cells than spleen cells. B cells (Ig-positive cells) were superior to T cells (Ig-negative cells) both on a relative proportion and on a cell-to-cell basis. Concanavalin A and lipopolysaccharide-stimulated lymphocytes were also effective stimulator cells but appeared to be slightly inferior to spleen cells. Spleen cells depleted of Ia-positive cells were markedly inferior to normal spleen cells as stimulators. It was also found that primary and secondary cytotoxic T cells were largely Ia-negative. These findings are discussed in relation to the likely events during T cell responses to infection in vivo. 相似文献

Cytotoxic effector lymphocytes were induced by in vitro immunization of lymph node and spleen cells from CS7B16(H2b) and Balb/c(H2d) mice to syngeneic or allogeneic methylcholanthrene-induced fibrosarcoma (MCAF) cell lines. The T cell-dependent cytotoxicity was specific to target cell lines to which the lymphocytes were immunized in vitro. Normal fibroblasts as stimulator cells did not induce lymphocytotoxicity to syngeneic MCAF cells or to normal syngeneic fibroblasts. The results indicate that the in vitro-immunized lymphocytes recognize individual specific tumor-associated antigens of the MCAF cells. In experiments in which the lymphocytes were immunized in vitro to allogeneic MCAF cells, cytotoxic reactions to alloantigens, but not to tumor-associated antigens, were detected. Incubation with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) during the sensitization period modified the specificity of the cell-mediated lysis of MCAF cells: Allogeneic as well as syngeneic target cells were destroyed by these effector cells. PHA induced a nonspecific cytotoxic effect which increased the specific lysis of target cells. The cytotoxicity of the in vitro-immunized lymphocytes was inhibited by incubation with membrane protein preparations from the syngeneic MCAF cell lines. In contrast to the specificity of the cytotoxic effect to the different syngeneic cell lines, the membrane extract of one individual syngeneic MCAF cell line was able to inhibit the lymphocytotoxicity to all other syngeneic cell lines. Membrane protein preparations from allogeneic MCAF cells or from normal syngeneic fibroblasts were not inhibitory. The in vitro-immunized cytotoxic lymphocytes did not impair the tumor growth in vivo as could be demonstrated by passive transfer of the lymphocytes in a Winn assay. 相似文献

Background
Ectromelia virus is a natural mouse pathogen, causing mousepox. The cytotoxic T (Tc) cell granule serine-protease, granzyme B, is important for its control, but the underlying mechanism is unknown. Using ex vivo virus immune Tc cells, we have previously shown that granzyme B is able to activate several independent pro-apoptotic pathways, including those mediated by Bid/Bak/Bax and caspases-3/-7, in target cells pulsed with Tc cell determinants.Methods and Findings
Here we analysed the physiological relevance of those pro-apoptotic pathways in ectromelia infection, by incubating ectromelia-immune ex vivo Tc cells from granzyme A deficient (GzmB+ Tc cells) or granzyme A and granzyme B deficient (GzmA×B−/− Tc cell) mice with ectromelia-infected target cells. We found that gzmB-induced apoptosis was totally blocked in ectromelia infected or peptide pulsed cells lacking caspases-3/-7. However ectromelia inhibited only partially apoptosis in cells deficient for Bid/Bak/Bax and not at all when both pathways were operative suggesting that the virus is able to interfere with apoptosis induced by gzmB in case not all pathways are activated. Importantly, inhibition of viral replication in vitro, as seen with wild type cells, was not affected by the lack of Bid/Bak/Bax but was significantly reduced in caspase-3/-7-deficient cells. Both caspase dependent processes were strictly dependent on gzmB, since Tc cells, lacking both gzms, neither induced apoptosis nor reduced viral titers.Significance
Out findings present the first evidence on the biological importance of the independent gzmB-inducible pro-apoptotic pathways in a physiological relevant virus infection model. 相似文献12.
Alloimmune spleen cells (C57BL/6 anti P815), but not normal spleen cells, lyse syngeneic (EL4) target cells in the presence of Con A. Con A dependent cytotoxicity was mediated by T cells and required the continued presence of lectin. Cytolysis in the presence of a succinylated derivative was equivalent to that seen with the parent Con A molecule. In contrast to previous reports of Con A dependent cytolysis, however, we conclude that lysis is not primarily caused by directly cytotoxic T cells. The reasons for this conclusion are: 1. Removal of directly cytotoxic cells by adsorption on P815 monolayers did not alter the Con A dependent cytolysis of EL4 cells; 2. Populations in which no direct T killers were demonstrable (e.g., spleen cells harvested 5 days after alloimmunization) lysed both P815 and EL4 cells in the presence of Con A; and 3. Con A dependent cytolysis, but not direct cytotoxicity, could be induced by culturing normal C57BL/6 spleen cells for 4 days with a sonicated extract of P815 cells. We hypothesize that the cell "activated" to lyse targets in the presence of Con A is a T cell which has differentiated lytic potential following alloantigenic stimulation, but has either insufficient density or affinity of antigen receptors to serve as a directly cytotoxic cell. The role of Con A is viewed as 2-fold: i) to "bridge" killer and target cell, and ii) to "activate" the effector. 相似文献

On the other hand, there is no cross-reactivity between vaccinia-H-2Kb and H-2Kbm1, since Hz1 anti-vaccinia effector cells did not kill vaccinia infected B10.A(5R) targets.Since Hz1 anti-TNP effector cells lysed B10.A(5R) target cells that were first infected with vaccinia virus and then derivatized with TNP, virus does not mask cross-reactive determinants shared by TNP-H-2Kb and H-2Kbm1. Additional experiments showed that Hz1 anti-TNP effector cells lysed TNP-modified and vaccinia infected B10.A(5R) target cells irrespective of the virus concentration used for infection or the time of addition of virus. Further, there are no detectable quantitative differences between C57BL/6 and Hz1 anti-TNP effector cells in their ability to kill TNP-5R targets.The cytotoxic effect of Hz1 anti-TNP effector cells on B10.A(5R)-TNP targets could not be blocked with TNP derivatized inhibitor cells that carry theH-2D

Summary Augmented tumor-specific T cell responses were observed against the high metastatic murine lymphoma variant ESb when using as immunogen ESb tumor cells that had been modified by infection with a low dose of Newcastle disease virus (NDV). Such virus-modified inactivated tumor cells (ESb-NDV) were potent tumor vaccines when applied postoperatively for active specific immunotherapy of ESb metastases. We demonstrate here that immune spleen cells from mice immunized with ESb-NDV contain enhanced immune capacity in both the CD4+, CD8– and the CD4–, CD8+ T cell compartments to mount a secondary-tumor-specific cytotoxic T cell response in comparison with immune cells from mice immunized with ESb. ESb-NDV immune CD4+, CD8– helper T cells also produced more interleukin 2 after antigen stimulation than the corresponding ESb immune cells. There was no participation of either CD4+ or CD8+ virus-specific cells in the augmented response. The specificity of the T cells for the tumor-associated antigen remaind unchanged. Thus, there is the paradox that the virus-mediated augmentation of the tumor-specific T cell response in this system involves increased T helper activity but does not involve the recognition of viral epitopes as potential new helper determinants.Abbreviations CTL

The allogeneic and syngeneic immune responses of tumor-bearing mice (C57BL/6 mice bearing 3LL and DBA mice bearing P815) were evaluated by the cytotoxic lymphocyte precursor unit (CLP-U) and MLC. In general, tumor-bearing mice showed slightly enhanced immune responses 4 days after tumor inoculation. This enhanced immune response rapidly declined and about 7–10 days after tumor inoculation, both allogeneic and syngeneic responses were markedly lower than normal. Mice treated with TP5, starting 2 weeks before tumor inoculation, retained normal or enhanced allogeneic and syngeneic responses up to 3 weeks after tumor inoculation. When this tumor-induced suppressive effect was studied in cell transfer experiments, spleen cells from tumor-bearing mice enhanced the growth of tumors in syngeneic recipients whereas spleen cells from TP5-treated mice inhibited the growth of tumors in syngeneic recipients. Moreover, the spleen cells from TP5-treated mice also showed enhanced cytotoxic activity against tumor cells in vitro. These findings suggest that the tumors, after a transient stimulatory phase, induced immune suppressive mechanisms in the hosts' immune defenses. Treatment with TP5 prevented the development of these immune suppressive effects and spleen cells from TP5-treated tumor-bearing mice inhibited tumor growth in freshly tumor-inoculated recipients. 相似文献

By employing the 125IUdR release cytotoxicity assay, we have been able to measure the primary and secondary cell-mediated cytotoxic response of C57BL/6 mice to FBL-3 cells, a syngeneic Friend virus-induced leukemia. It was found that the secondary cell-mediated cytotoxic response occurred more rapidly after challenge (within 3 days) than the primary response, and the levels of reactivity were considerably higher. As in the primary response, the secondary cytotoxic reactivity of spleen cells was T cell dependent, being eliminated by pretreatment with anti-theta antibody plus complement. However, the secondary reactivity of pertioneal exudate (PE) cells was not entirely T-cell dependent. The specificity of the secondary cytotoxic response was analyzed by primary or secondary immunization with various tumor cells and by testing of cytotoxic lymphocytes against a variety of target cells. When spleen cells were used for testing, only tumor cells induced by Friend, Moloney, or Rauscher (FMR) leukemia viruses could produce secondary cell-mediated cytotoxic responses against FBL-3 cells. This correlated well with the specificity observed in the in vivo tumor transplantation protection studies. Similarly, spleen cells immune to FBL-3 had appreciable cytotoxicity against tumor cells induced by FMR viruses. The FBL-3 immune mice also gave significant protection against the challenge of FMR leukemias. When PE cells were used for testing, they gave higher levels of cytotoxicity against tumor cells induced by FMR viruses, but also gave less, but appreciable, cytotoxicity against non-FMR tumors. The latter reactivity might be related to the antigens induced by the murine endogenous type C viruses. 相似文献

Gamma interferon is shown to be critical in recovery of C57BL/6 mice from mousepox. Anti-gamma interferon treatment of mice infected in the footpad with ectromelia virus resulted in enhanced spread to and efficient virus replication in the spleen, lungs, ovaries, and, especially, liver. All treated, infected mice died within a mean of 7 days, 2.5 days earlier than mice with severe combined immunodeficiency that were given a comparable infection. On the other hand, alpha interferon appeared not to have a major role in controlling virus replication in tissues examined, and beta interferon was important for virus clearance in the liver and ovaries but not the spleen. Either anti-alpha, beta interferon or anti-beta interferon antibody therapy resulted in only 25% mortality. Infected control mice survived but showed persistence of ectromelia virus at the site of infection (the footpad) and transient presence of the virus in the spleen, liver, lungs, and ovaries and in the fibroreticular but not lymphoid cells of the draining popliteal lymph node. Depletion of gamma interferon but not alpha and/or beta interferon resulted in a significant reduction in the numbers of splenic T (especially gamma delta-TCR+), B, and Mac-1+ cells, although the proportion of Mac-1+ cells in the spleen increased compared with control values. Depletion of alpha, beta, or gamma interferons did not severely affect the generation of virus-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responses or natural killer cell cytolytic activity. This study, in which a natural virus disease model was used, underscores the crucial importance of gamma interferon in virus clearance at all stages of infection and in all tissues tested except the primary site of infection, where virus clearance appears to be delayed. 相似文献

Murine splenocytes and tumor cells bind cholera enterotoxoid (choleragenoid). Four hours after sensitization, choleragenoid-coated cells were lysed in the presence of anti-cholergenoid serum and complement, indicating that the binding was stable. Choleragenoid-coated cells were unable to sensitize spleen cells from normal or choleragenoid primed syngeneic mice into displaying a cytotoxic effect against choleragenoid-coated target cells in the T cell-mediated cytotoxicity assay. Cells coated with both choleragenoid and trinitrophenyl (TNP) groups did sensitize syngeneic spleen cells to display a cytotoxic effect against target cells bearing choleragenoid and TNP or TNP alone, but not choleragenoid alone. These data demonstrate that the mere binding of a foreign component to lymphoid cells is not sufficient to allow sensitization of cytotoxic T cells. 相似文献

Three different types of immune mouse T cells raised against influenza virus were tested for their ability to induce the formation of macrophage procoagulant activity (MPCA) by a macrophage cell line PU5-1.8. They were primary spleen cells, taken 6 days after iv injection of virus, spleen cells from sensitized mice challenged with virus and cultured in vitro for 5 days (secondary cultured cells), and cloned T cells. With the last two preparations, some samples were K,D region restricted, Lyt 2+, and had cytotoxic activity; other samples were I region restricted, Lyt 2?, and were not cytotoxic. Samples of a concanavalin A-activated T-cell supernatant which regularly induced MPCA with PU5-1.8 cells were included as controls in all assays. A few batches of T-cell preparations failed to induce MPCA production, however, most batches were active. Two sources of variation were detected: first, the number of cells (5-to 150-fold) needed to induce a certain level of MPCA, as measured by the decrease in clotting time; and second, the value of the gradient of the cell dose response. Both K,D- and I-region-restricted cells, either as cloned or secondary cultured cells, could induce MPCA but with the latter preparation, I-region-restricted cells were the better inducers by about eightfold. T cells tested in this way were also injected into mouse hind footpads and their ability to mediate delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reactions was measured. A positive but not proportional correlation between the abilities to induce MPCA and mediate DTH activity for primary spleen cells was found, but this was not generally observed with cultured or cloned T cells. 相似文献

Two Lyt-1+, L3T4a+ autoreactive T cell clones specific for self-class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) gene products were established from lymph node cells and spleen cells of C57BL/6J mice, respectively, by different methods. They were stimulated to proliferate in culture in response to I-Ab antigen-bearing syngeneic spleen cells in a class II MHC-restricted manner. This stimulation was inhibited completely by the addition of anti-L3T4a (GK1.5) or anti-I-Ab (3JP) monoclonal antibodies. The autoreactive T cell clones lysed syngeneic I-Ab+ target cells such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) blasts. They also lysed I-A- bystander cells such as Cloudman and B16 melanoma and lymphoid tumor cells in the presence of I-Ab+ stimulator cells but not I-Ad+ cells. This bystander killing was most likely mediated by soluble factors released from the autoreactive T cells in response to I-Ab antigens, because culture supernatants from activated autoreactive T cells inhibited the proliferation of B16 melanoma cells in vitro and also had significant cytolytic activity. Both lymphotoxin and interferon-gamma were released from activated autoreactive T cells, suggesting that these cytotoxic lymphokines were responsible for autoreactive T cell-mediated cytolysis. The finding that the two clones, established independently and by different methods, show self-class II MHC antigen-restricted cytolysis, and bystander cytolysis suggests that these properties are not restricted to a unique population of autoreactive T cells. These results favor the concept that in vivo, autoreactive T cells may express not only regulatory activity in regard to antibody responses, but also anti-tumor activity via bystander cytolysis. 相似文献
