The cytotoxic immune response in the peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) against an autologous malignant melanoma cell line, PJ-M, was found to be down-regulated in in vitro co-culture (IVC) selectively by unfractionated resident lymph node lymphocytes (derived from a lymph node infiltrated with the PJ-M melanoma cells) and T4+ as well as T8+ fractions of the resident lymph node-derived lymphocytes. In this study, the mechanism involved in, and the specificities of, cytotoxic immune response in this autologous system were examined at population and clonal levels. Resident lymph node lymphocytes were isolated from both involved and uninvolved lymph nodes from the same patient. Resident lymphocytes from both sources regulated the generation of cytotoxic immune response when both types of resident lymph node lymphocytes were further sensitized against the PJ-M cells in IVC and were expanded in interleukin 2 (IL 2). An IL 2-dependent homogeneous lymphocyte line (I-10:1) bearing the phenotype of a helper T cell (T4+) and a T4+ clone (I-10.3) of the I-10:1 line, established by limiting dilution culture, also down-regulated the generation of cytotoxic immune effector cells in the PBL in IVC against the PJ-M targets. The IL 2-dependent T4+ inducer line I-10:1 generated a functionally differentiated T8+ suppressor population(s) that, in turn, could abrogate cytotoxic response in fresh PBL in IVC against PJ-M cells. The inducer line I-10:1 and its subclone I-10.3 suppressed the generation of cytotoxic effector cells in the PBL in IVC selectively against the autologous PJ-M cells. Generation of cytotoxic allo-response in IVC was unaffected by the inducer lines. These results provide further evidence for the involvement of the regulatory network in cytotoxic immune response in an autologous human tumor system, and suggest a potential explanation for cytotoxic unresponsiveness against autologous melanoma cells. 相似文献

Autologous melanoma-induced activation of regulatory T cells that suppress cytotoxic response 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The host immune response toward autologous human cancer is subject to regulation by the immunoregulatory network. We show that certain CD4+ T cell clones, derived from melanoma involved lymph node lymphocytes and from PBL stimulated by autologous melanoma cells, selectively down-regulated the induction of cytotoxic immune response of PBL against the respective autologous melanoma cells in two autologous systems. In both systems, only the generation of cytotoxic response against the autologous melanoma cells were suppressed. Cytotoxic response against EBV-infected autologous lymphoblastoid cell line in one case and cytotoxic responses against allogeneic targets in the other were not affected. In addition to suppressor activity selectively expressed against the autologous melanoma cells, the T cell clones up-regulated their Tac receptors when cocultured with the autologous melanoma cells and APC. These results support the existence of a putative tumor Ag-driven activation of regulatory T cells that affect cytotoxic immune response, in vitro, against autologous human melanoma. 相似文献

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes from six patients with metastatic malignant melanoma were expanded by culture in recombinant interleukin 2. Three of the preparations were highly cytotoxic against autologous fresh melanoma tumor cells, but not against autologous fresh normal cells or allogeneic fresh tumor targets. The other three were highly cytotoxic against autologous fresh melanoma tumor cells and also had a limited capacity to kill allogeneic fresh tumor targets. The tumor-associated specific killer cells could be expanded from threefold to 95,652-fold with maintenance of specific antitumor lysis. The expanded tumor-infiltrating cells were Leu-4+ T cells, and in five of six patients the majority were Leu-3+. These studies demonstrate that the melanoma-bearing patient raises an immune response against autologous tumor and presents a method for the generation of human lymphocytes with antitumor reactivity that may be useful in the adoptive immunotherapy of tumors. 相似文献

The cytotoxic host immune response toward autologous human cancer may be regulated by the immunoregulatory network. Here we show that helper T cells, cloned from peripheral blood lymphocytes that were sensitized in vitro against an autologous human malignant paraganglioma, proliferated against and made interleukin 2 when cocultured with the tumor-associated antigen in the presence of autologous accessory cells. Furthermore, the helper cell clones amplified cytotoxic immune response by peripheral blood lymphocytes against the paraganglioma cells in coculture with the blood lymphocytes and the paraganglioma cells. An autologous T cell line bearing suppressor phenotype, established from a lymph node that had been infiltrated with the paraganglioma tumor cells, in contrast to the helper cells, selectively suppressed the cytotoxic immune response by the blood lymphocytes against the paraganglioma cells in identical coculture. These results, therefore, demonstrate the existence of cell-mediated immunologic regulations of the cytotoxic immune response (concurrent amplification and suppression in the same host) against an autologous human tumor. 相似文献

Summary Lymphocytes isolated from axillary lymph nodes draining breast carcinoma were tested for natural killer (NK) activity against K562 in a 4-h 51Cr-release assay, and the in vitro effects of interferon (IFN) and OK432 (a streptococcal preparation) on their cytotoxicity were examined in comparison with NK activity of autologous peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). The levels of NK activity were lower in lymph node lymphocytes (LNL) than in PBL of the same patients. Significant levels of LNL-mediated lysis were recorded in 14 of 42 (33%) lymph node samples and in nine of 14 (64%) patients. Purification of large granular lymphocytes (LGL) from lymph node cells by discontinuous Percoll density gradient centrifugation resulted in an induction or enhancement of cytotoxic activity, with no reactivity in LGL-depleted, small T-lymphocyte populations. Positive reactions were observed with 10 of 13 (77%) LGL samples. The low reactivity of LNL was not attributable to coexistent suppressor cells for NK function, since lymph node cells failed to suppress NK activity of normal PBL. Partially purified human IFN and OK432 augmented NK activity of patients' PBL in approximately 70% and 90% of the cases, respectively, while LNL-mediated lysis was augmented in only 7% and 36% of the lymph node samples by IFN and OK432, respectively. These results indicate that K562-reactive NK cells and/or their precursors may frequently be present at subthreshold levels in the lymph nodes draining breast carcinoma, and that the augmentation of LNL-mediated cytotoxicity by OK432 might provide a local potentiation of natural immune function at the host-tumor interface rather than IFN. 相似文献

Summary Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) of melanoma patients were sensitized in vitro with lymphocytes of a single donor or with a pool of lymphocytes of 5–20 different donors. After 6–7 days, the cytotoxic activity of the sensitized PBL was tested against cultured autologous tumor cells and lymphocytes in a 51Cr-release assay. Tumor lysis was observed in 13 of 16 cases in which patients' PBL (Pt-PBL) were stimulated by a pool of allogeneic lymphocytes and in five out of seven cases when single sensitization was performed. In no case was lysis of autologous normal lymphocytes or blasts seen. Cultivation of Pt-PBL with irradiated autologous tumor cells never led to the induction of lymphocytes cytotoxic to melanoma cells. Lysability by pool-activated autologous Pt-PBL of fresh cryopreserved tumor cells was compared to that of short-term cultured tumor cells, and no significant differences were observed. Cold-target inhibition experiments indicated that the cytotoxicity of Pt-PBL was tumor-restricted since only autologous melanoma cells but not lymphocytes were able to inhibit the reaction. These results indicate that activation of Pt-PBL is necessary in order to elicit or amplify their antitumor activity. 相似文献

Metastatic or tumor-draining lymph nodes from six of nine melanoma patients undergoing lymph node dissection for metastatic melanoma generated cytotoxic T cells against autologous melanoma when these lymph node cells were treated by in vitro sensitization and recombinant interleukin-2 (IL-2). During the initial lymphocyte culture (2–6 weeks), cross-reactivity with autologous tumor cells, K562 and Daudi cells was usually noted. Cold-target inhibition assay with K562 and Daudi showed K562/Daudi-associated antigens on melanoma cells. During the later phase of lymphocyte culture with repeated in vitro sensitization (over 6–10 weeks), cytotoxicity was noted against autologous and allogeneic melanoma cells but not against K562, Daudi cells or autologous fibroblasts. Repeated in vitro sensitization resulted in the selection of specific cytotoxic lymphocytes against melanoma. Cold-target inhibition assay with autologous and allogeneic melanoma cells revealed shared and individual antigens. Using blocking monoclonal antibodies, MHC-restricted killing was noted in the autologous system. Further, both the autologous and allogeneic systems could be mediated through adhesion molecules such as ICAM-1 and LFA-3 on melanoma cells and LFA-1 on T cells. This study suggests that a constellation of cytotoxic effector cells and melanoma-associated antigens may be pivotal in tumor killing. Thus, future adoptive immunotherapy should modulate and enhance this complex interaction.This work was supported by an Elsa, U.

Patients with head and neck cancer often have decreased local or regional immunocompetence. Lymphocytes obtained from tumor-involved or -uninvolved lymph nodes (LNL) of these patients showed low or undetectable levels of antitumor cytotoxicity and low proliferative responses in vitro to interleukin 2 (IL2) or mitogens in comparison to peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). Lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell activity of LNL was lower (P less than 0.05) than that of autologous PBL. Fresh LNL were neither enriched in cells with the CD8+ CD11b+ "suppressor" phenotype nor did they suppress proliferative or cytotoxic responses of autologous PBL in mixing experiments. LNL did not inhibit LAK cell generation from autologous PBL in the presence of IL2. Also, no evidence for the inhibition of autotumor-restricted responses by IL2-activated LNL was obtained. Spontaneous or in vitro-induced production of IL1 beta. TNF alpha, and IFN-tau was low or undetectable in LNL from tumor-involved and -uninvolved lymph nodes in comparison to that in normal or autologous PBL. Mitogen-induced IL2 production was normal in LNL. The depressed ability to produce certain cytokines may be in part responsible for a state of unresponsiveness present in lymph nodes obtained from patients with head and neck cancer. No evidence for the presence of lymphoid suppressor cell in LNL of these patients was obtained. 相似文献

Production of alpha-lymphotoxin by human T-cell subsets 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Human T cells were isolated from peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) and sensitized to allogeneic PBL in a one-way mixed-lymphocyte culture. These sensitized T cells were fractionated on the basis of their possession of Fc receptors for IgG (TG+) or IgM (TM+), or the absence of both IgG and IgM receptors (TG-M-). When restimulated with alloantigen of the same derivation, TG+, TM+, and TG-M- cells yielded almost equal amounts of cytotoxin. Anti-alpha-lymphotoxin serum neutralized most of this cytotoxic activity indicating that alpha-lymphotoxin (alpha-LT) constituted most of this activity. Although TG-M- cells function as effectors in allogeneic cytotoxicity, TG+ cells lyse IgG-coated targets in an antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxic (ADCC) reaction, which has been shown to be mediated in part by alpha-LT. Whether TM+ cells can be cytotoxic is not clear. In addition, freshly isolated human T-cell subsets were stimulated with phytohemagglutinin-P (PHA-P). After PHA stimulation, TG+, TM+, and TG-M- cells produced similar amounts of soluble cytotoxin, which was largely neutralized by anti-alpha-LT. The TG+ cells incorporated less thymidine than the TM+ or TG-M- cells. Likewise, OKT4+ and OKT8+ subsets, isolated with the aid of monoclonal OKT8 or OKT4 antibody and complement, yielded lymphotoxin after stimulation with PHA. It is shown that all T-cell subsets, as defined here, can produce lymphotoxin. Furthermore, depending on the assay system, cytotoxicity can be clearly demonstrated in all of these subsets, except in TM+ cells, where positive and negative results have been reported. 相似文献

A cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) clone Tc1.8 was derived in a limiting dilution culture from a single cell that was derived from melanoma-involved lymph node lymphocytes activated in in vitro coculture against the autologous melanoma cells (VIP). The clone Tc1.8 (T3+, T8+, T4-, and Leu7-) expressed restricted cytolytic activity against only the autologous target VIP. As it aged in continuous culture containing interleukin 2, Tc1.8 lost cytolytic activity. The cytolytic function could be restored, however, with monoclonal antibody (MoAb) against T3 (OKT3) or with F(ab')2 fractions of OKT3, and upon restimulation with irradiated accessory cells. OKT3-mediated reinduction of cytotoxicity by the aged Tc1.8 could not be achieved if the T3 molecules were modulated from the effector cell surface following overnight incubation of Tc1.8 with saturating concentrations of OKT3 MoAb. Following reactivation with OKT3 Tc1.8 gained cytolytic function against NK targets in addition to VIP. Reactivation with F(ab')2 fractions of OKT3 and with autologous accessory cells, however, maintained its restricted antigen fidelity. The NK-like activity of Tc1.8 upon reactivation with OKT3 resulted from conjugate formation between the activated Tc1.8 and NK targets via the activating ligand itself. Thus, upon stimulation with anti-T3 MoAb and with autologous accessory cells, independently, the autoreactivity could be restored in an aged and inactive CTL clone. 相似文献

Characterization of the T cell-mediated cellular cytotoxicity during acute infectious mononucleosis 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Primary infection with EBV during acute infectious mononucleosis (IM) is associated with a cytotoxic response against allogeneic target cells. C depletion with anti-CD3 (OKT3) and anti-CD8 (OKT8) mAb decreased the allogeneic cytolysis of two EBV-infected lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL) by 96% and 89%, respectively. Complement depletion with the NK cell-specific mAb Leu-11b and NKH-1a resulted in only a slight decrease (less than 35%) in the lysis of these LCL. mAb inhibition studies with OKT3 and OKT8 inhibited the allogeneic lysis of two LCL by 87% and 82%, respectively. The alloreactive cytotoxic response was strongly inhibited by mAb specific for MHC class I determinants (W6/32, 65% inhibition and BBM.1, 58% inhibition). Acute IM lymphocytes lysed the allogeneic EBV-negative cell lines HSB2 (45%) and HTLV-1 T cell lines (16%). NK cell-depleted lymphocytes from an acute IM patient demonstrated preferential lysis of K562 transfected with human HLA-A2 (73%) compared with the K562 transfected control (20%). Cold target competition studies with allogeneic and autologous target and competitor LCL demonstrated no significant competitive inhibition between allogeneic and autologous cells. We interpret these results as evidence that 1) the acute IM-alloreactive cytotoxic response is mediated primarily by CTL; 2) these alloreactive CTL lyse allogeneic target cells irrespective of EBV antigenic expression; 3) MHC class I expression is sufficient for allogeneic recognition and lysis of target cells; 4) distinct effector CTL populations mediate lysis of autologous and allogeneic target cells; and 5) during acute IM, EBV infection results in the induction of both virus-specific and alloreactive CTL populations. 相似文献

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) were obtained from human ovarian tumors, expanded in the presence of IL-2 in culture and studied for cytotoxicity against fresh autologous and allogeneic ovarian carcinoma (CA) targets. TIL from ovarian tumors grew well in long term cultures, achieving from 8- to 682-fold expansion. TIL cultured with IL-2 were cytotoxic against both autologous and allogeneic fresh ovarian CA targets, and no specificity for autologous tumor could be demonstrated in any of the cultures. In all fresh TIL preparations, CD3+ lymphocytes were the major cell type and contained a high proportion (up to 51%) of activated (IL-2R+) cells as determined by two-color flow cytometry. Sorting of bulk TIL cultures followed by cytotoxicity assays identified the Leu-19+ cells, both CD3+ and CD3-, as effectors of cytotoxicity against autologous and allogeneic tumor cell targets. Cold target inhibition assays showed that allogeneic targets (both ovarian CA and a sarcoma) competed effectively with autologous ovarian CA targets for Leu-19+ effectors in TIL cultures. mAb to Leu-19 or Leu-2a did not block lysis of autologous targets by sorted effectors. OKT3 antibody augmented lysis of autologous targets by CD3+Leu-19- effectors only. These results show that non-MHC-restricted Leu-19+ effectors in cultures of TIL with 1000 U/ml of rIL-2 mediate lysis of autologous and allogeneic tumor cells. The CD3+Leu-19- cells, the main population in these cultures, do not mediate tumor lysis. To determine the phenotype of antitumor effectors in IL-2 cultures of TIL, cell sorting followed by functional assays are necessary. 相似文献

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) for autologous malignant melanoma in culture of a patient AV were induced by restimulation of PBL (peripheral blood leukocytes) with AV melanoma cells in vitro and subcultured in interleukin 2 (IL-2) conditioned media. Monoclonal antibodies detecting six antigenic systems on melanoma cell surfaces were tested for blocking activity on the effector function of subcultured cytolytic T lymphocytes for autologous melanoma cells. The monoclonal antibodies R24 (γ3), specific for the GD3 disialoganglioside on melanoma cell surfaces and I24 (γM), detecting a similar antigenic determinant, blocked autologous T lymphocytotoxicity for malignant melanoma cells on the target level. The effector function of alloantigen activated cytolytic T lymphocytes generated by coculture of allogeneic PBL with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) transformed AV B lymphocytes, was blocked by monoclonal antibody R24 when tested against AV melanoma targets, but not when tested against AV B lymphocyte targets. It is concluded that blocking by mAb R24 occurs in this system as a nonspecific effect, unrelated to the specific target antigen recognition by cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Steric hindrance or antibody induced membrane changes may account for the blocking effect of monoclonal antibody R24. 相似文献

Human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) exhibited spontaneous cytotoxicity against OKT3 monoclonal antibody (mAb)-expressing murine hybridoma cells (OKT3 hybridomas). In contrast, other murine hybridomas expressing OKT4, OKT8, anti-HLA DR, and anti-HLA A, B, and C mAb were not lysed. PBL showed much lower levels of cytotoxicity (3 folds) against OKT3 hybridomas as compared with NK activity against the K562 targets. Lymph node (LN) cells exhibited the inverse relationship of cytotoxicity levels. The addition of OKT3 mAb to the effector cells totally blocked both the binding and the lysis of OKT3 hybridoma targets, indicating that the CD3 antigen on the effector cells may be involved in recognition of the targets. The addition of concanavalin (Con A) also inhibited the cytotoxicity of OKT3 hybridomas. OKT4 mAb-expressing hybridomas became susceptible to lysis after chemical attachment of OKT3 mAb with CrCl3. The kinetics of lysis of OKT3 hybridomas resembled that of NK activity. Both cytotoxicities were detectable after 1 to 2 hr and reached plateau levels by 4 to 6 hr. Effector cells responsible for lysis of OKT3 hybridomas expressed T3, T8, and Leu 7 antigens, but lacked T4 and Leu 11b antigens, and were sensitive to the treatment with L-leucine methyl ester. These results indicate that T3+, T8+, Leu 7+ and T4-, and Leu 11- granular lymphocytes have a spontaneous cytotoxic activity against OKT3 hybridomas which is different from classic NK activity. These findings may provide a method for the assessment of T-cell cytotoxicity mediated presumably by in vivo generated cytotoxic T lymphocytes in blood and the other immune organs. 相似文献

Activation of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from a melanoma patient either in secondary MLC in which EBV-transformed B cells from the cell line JY were used as stimulator cells, or by co-cultivation with the autologous melanoma cells in a mixed leukocyte tumor cell culture (MLTC) resulted in the generation of cytotoxic activity against the autologous melanoma (O-mel) cells. From these activated bulk cultures four cloned cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) lines were isolated. The CTL clone O-1 (T3+, T4+, T8-, OKM-1-, HNK-, and HLA-DR+), and O-36 (T3+, T4-, T8+, OKM-, HNK-, and HLA-DR+) were obtained from MLC, whereas the CTLC clones O-C7 (T3+, T4+, T8-, OKM-1-, HNK-, and HLA-DR+) and O-D5 (T3+, T4-, T8+, OKM-1-, HNK, and HLA-DR+) were isolated from autologous MLTC. All four CTL clones were strongly cytotoxic for O-mel cells but failed to lyse autologous fibroblasts and autologous T lymphoblasts. Moreover, the CTL clones lacked NK activity as measured against K562 and Daudi cells. Panel studies indicated that the CTL clones also killed approximately 50% of the allogeneic melanoma cells preferentially, whereas the corresponding T lymphoblasts were not lysed. Monoclonal antibodies against class I (W6/32) and class II (279) MHC antigens failed to block the reactivity of the CTL clones against O-mel and allogeneic melanoma cells, indicating that a proportion of human melanoma cells share determinants that are different from HLA antigens and that are recognized by CTL clones. In contrast to the CTL clones isolated from MLTC, the clones obtained from MLC also lysed JY cells, which initially were used as stimulator cells. The reactivity of O-36 against JY could be inhibited with W6/32, demonstrating that this reactivity was directed against class I MHC antigens. These results suggest that the lysis of O-mel and JY cells by O-36 has to be attributed to two independent specificities of this CTL clone. The specificity of the other cross-reactive CTL clone (O-1) could not be determined. The notion that individual CTL clones can have two specificities was supported by the following observations. The cytotoxic reactivity of both O-1 (T4+) and O-36 (T8+) against JY was blocked by monoclonal antibodies directed against T3 and human LFA-1, and against T3, T8, and human LFA-1, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Summary Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients in remission were stimulated in vitro, in a 3-cell assay with autologous leukemic cells or autologous bone marrow (BM) cells alone, or each in combination with allogeneic PBL. The responder cells were used as effectors in a 4-h 51Cr release cytotoxicity assay using autologous targets such as leukemic cells, BM cells, phytohemagglutinin-induced lymphoblasts, and allogeneic K562 (erythroblastoid leukemic cell line) target cells. Sensitization of lymphocytes from CML patients with either autologous leukemic cells or BM cells generated cytotoxic cells (CTCs) capable of killing both the targets. These results suggested that in CML, the PBL may have been sensitized to myeloid maturation-related antigens in vivo, which, on secondary stimulation in vitro, may result in differentiation of CTCs cytotoxic to immature myeloid cells, either from autologous leukemic cells or autologous BM. The inability of PBL from patients with oral cancers to lyse autologous BM cells upon in vitro stimulation, supported this possibility. Clonogenic assays conducted to assess the colony forming potential of BM cells which had interacted with CTCs indicated that there was about 37% reduction in committed granulocyte stem cell colony formation without an appreciable change in committed granulocyte/monocyte stem cell units and clusters. Therefore, since the BM toxicity of the CTCs is not very high, these cells may have a potential clinical use in CML. 相似文献

Stimulation of human lymphocytes in mixed leukocyte culture (MLC) with x-irradiated pooled allogeneic normal cells (poolx) was previously shown to result in generation of effector cells cytotoxic for autologous Epstein-Barr virus- (EBV) transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL). This study was undertaken to determine whether lysis of the autologous EBV- transformed LCL cells by pool-stimulated cells is mediated by cytotoxic Tc lymphocytes (Tc) or natural killer- (NK) like cells, both of which are generated in MLC. In the first series of experiments, proliferating cells were eliminated by treatment of pool-stimulated cells with 5 X 10(-5) M 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BUdR) and light. The remaining cells failed to lyse allogeneic normal lymphocytes and autologous LCL cells, whereas cytotoxicity against NK-sensitive K562 leukemia cells was retained. In the second series of experiments, pool-stimulated effector cells were treated with monoclonal anti-human Tc cell antibodies, OKT3 or OKT8, and complement (C). The cells recovered after antibody and C treatment were diminished in their ability to lyse allogeneic normal lymphocytes as well as autologous LCL cells, whereas their cytotoxicity against K562 leukemia cells was unaffected. These combined results provide strong evidence that lysis of autologous LCL cells by lymphocytes stimulated with pooled allogeneic normal cells is mediated by Tc rather than NK-like cells. 相似文献

To determine the lymphoid target cells of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) in vivo, peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) and lymph node lymphocytes (LNL) were positively selected (>97% purity) for surface expression of CD4, CD8, or CD20 and then analyzed for SIV provirus using semiquantitative DNA amplification. We found provirus in CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes but none in CD20+ lymphocytes. During acute SIV infection (< or = 214 days postinoculation), the percentage of PBL and LNL CD4+ cells containing proviral DNA ranged from 0.2 to 20% and from 0.2 to 2%, respectively. Proviral burden in the CD8+ population of either PBL or LNL ranged from 0.01 to 0.2%. Virus isolation by cocultivation was positive for both CD4+ and CD8+ purified populations. No difference in proviral burden was observed between PBL and LNL subsets during acute SIV infection. Up to 19.4% of positively selected CD8+ cells also expressed CD4, and thus the provirus may reside within a dual-positive population. This dual-positive population may represent activated lymphocytes that are particularly susceptible to infection and may provide an opportunity for virus entry into the CD8+ CD4- lymphocytes in vivo. 相似文献

Human epidermal cells (EC) act as stimulator cells in the mixed-skin cell lymphocyte culture reaction (MSLR). To analyze the role of human epidermal Langerhans cells (LC) and indeterminate cells (IC), which are the only cells expressing the DR-Ia-like antigens in normal epidermis, in the generation of alloreactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in cell-mediated cytolysis, 18-hr 51Cr-release assays against PBL targets (targets autologous to stimulator EC) were conducted after allogeneic human MSLR. MSLR and CTL assays were conducted with, as stimulator cells, suspensions of normal human EC as controls, and EC after: (1) preincubation with anti-HLA-DR or OKT6 (specific for LC in EC suspension) monoclonal antibodies; (2) panning, a monolayer technique used to deplete EC suspensions in OKT6 or DR-positive cells. The generation of alloreactive CTL was found to occur only after allogeneic MSLR and when targets and stimulator cells were from the same donor; it was reduced by EC incubation: cytotoxic activity 26.66 +/- 3.84 (controls); 8.8 +/- 3.6 and 7.7 +/- 3.7 (EC incubated with OKT6 or anti-DR, respectively); it was reduced or abolished when the EC used in MSLR were depleted in OKT6 or DR-positive cells by panning. These findings demonstrate that human LC and IC are necessary for an optimal in vitro sensitization in MSLR and the subsequent in vitro generation of alloreactive CTL in man. 相似文献

In vivo patterns of lymphocytes sensitized against autologous tumor (in vitro) were studied in seven patients with metastatic cancer as a potential candidate for an alternative method of radioimmunodetection and adoptive immunocytotherapy. Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) were either activated in Interleukin-2 (IL-2) [lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells]or sensitized against autologous tumor cells by in vitro co-culture (IVC) and expanded in IL-2 (educated cells); both were then labelled with 111In. Labelled autologous cells (1 × 107−5 × 108) were administered to patients and biodistribution studied by imaging under a gamma camera at various time intervals. In 4/7 cases, imaging with the educated cells showed concentrations of radioactivity at sites that correlated positively with clinically detectable metastatic tumor. By contrast, only one instance of positive uptake was seen with the LAK cells. Other than slight fever in three cases, infusions of labelled PBL were well tolerated. Educated lymphocytes were cytotoxic against autologous tumor cells and the cytotoxic reactivities of the educated cells were maintained in continuous culture in IL-2 for 4–6 weeks. Evidence of accumulation of radiolabelled educated autologous cells at a significantly higher frequency than that of the LAK cells suggests that in vitro expanded educated PBL might be better candidates for radioimmunodetection of human cancer, and continuous cultures of such educated autologous PBL might be sources for repeated administration of these effector cells. 相似文献
