A previous study using a Nef-defective human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) mutant suggested that Nef-mediated down-regulation of HLA class I on the infected cell surface affects the cytolytic activity of HIV-1-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) clones for HIV-1-infected primary CD4(+) T cells. We confirmed this effect by using a nef-mutant HIV-1 strain (NL-M20A) that expresses a Nef protein which does not induce down-regulation of HLA class I molecules but is otherwise functional. HIV-1-specific CTL clones were not able to kill primary CD4(+) T cells infected with a Nef-positive HIV-1 strain (NL-432) but efficiently lysed CD4(+) T cells infected with NL-M20A. Interestingly, CTL clones stimulated with NL-432-infected CD4(+) T cells were able to produce cytokines, albeit at a lower level than when stimulated with NL-M20A-infected CD4(+) T cells. This indicates that Nef-mediated HLA class I down-regulation affects CTL cytokine production to a lesser extent than cytolytic activity. Replication of NL-432 was partially suppressed in a coculture of HIV-1-infected CD4(+) T cells and HIV-1-specific CTL clones, while replication of NL-M20A was completely suppressed. These results suggest that HIV-1-specific CD8(+) T cells are able to partially suppress the replication of HIV-1 through production of soluble HIV-1-suppressive factors such as chemokines and gamma interferon. These findings may account for the mechanism whereby HIV-1-specific CD8(+) T cells are able to partially but not completely control HIV-1 replication in vivo. 相似文献

CTL lyse their target cells in discrete phases. First, the CTL bind to the target cell in a Mg2+-dependent manner followed by a Ca2+-dependent cytolytic phase. In the present study, we investigated the role of CD4 in the different phases of the cytolytic reaction mediated by human CD4+ class II MHC-specific CTL clones by using a single cell assay. It was found that the anti-CD4+ mAb OKT4A, which blocks cytotoxic reactions by CD4+ CTL clones as measured with a 51Cr release assay, only marginally affects the formation of conjugates. It appeared that OKT4A more strongly blocked the post-binding phase of the cytolytic reaction. In contrast, anti-leukocyte function-associated mAb strongly blocked the formation of conjugates but not the subsequent lytic phase. As was found previously with CD8+ CTL clones, anti-TCR mAb generally did not affect the formation of conjugates. One exception was noted. The activity of a CD4+ CTL clone, HY-640, could not be blocked by OKT4A, but was affected by an anti-TCR mAb. This anti-TCR mAb could partly reduce the formation of conjugates between HY-640 cells and their specific target cells. These results suggest that this clone has a high affinity TCR, which can contribute to the formation of conjugates. Although preincubation of the CTL clones with OKT4A only marginally affects the number of conjugates upon subsequent mixture with target cells, it was observed that incubation at 37 degrees C of preformed conjugates with OKT4A markedly reduced the number of conjugates. This dissociation of preformed conjugates was optimal only after 2 h of incubation. In contrast, an anti-leukocyte function-associated mAb induced a much more rapid dissociation of preformed conjugates. 相似文献

We have cloned lines of IL 2-dependent human T cells derived from alloantigen, soluble antigen (tetanus toxoid), mitogen, or IL 2-stimulated peripheral blood lymphocytes and characterized their surface marker expression and cytolytic activity. The surface phenotype and cytolytic function was compared with the ability of these T cell clones to release cytotoxic lymphokines in response to mitogenic lectins. The cytotoxins released by these CTL clones were detected on the murine L929 target cells in a 16-hr assay. All of the T cell clones, whether stimulated by HLA alloantigens, tetanus toxoid, or mitogens, exhibited killer cell activity and the capacity to secrete a soluble cytotoxin(s). Specific polyclonal antisera to recombinant human tumor necrosis factor (rTNF) and human alpha-lymphotoxin (alpha LT) were unable to neutralize the cytotoxic activity released by most of these CTL clones. These results indicate that human CTL produce a novel antigenic form(s) of cytotoxin that we have termed CTL-toxin. Supernatants from several CTL clones yielded a cytotoxic activity that was partially neutralized (10 to 40%) by saturating levels of anti-TNF (but not anti-alpha LT) indicating that human CTL may be capable of producing a TNF-like molecule. Only two out of 60 CTL clones studied thus far produced a cytotoxic activity that was partially neutralized by anti-alpha LT (20 to 40%). Collectively, these results suggest that although both the CD4 and the CD8 subpopulations of human cytotoxic T cells may be capable of releasing several types of cytotoxins in response to mitogenic signals, the predominant cytotoxin is distinct from alpha LT and TNF. 相似文献

Expression of the tumor necrosis factor locus is not necessary for the cytolytic activity of T lymphocytes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

In order to test whether tumor necrosis factors alpha (TNF-alpha) or beta (TNF-beta, also known as lymphotoxin) are involved in the lysis of target cells by cytolytic T lymphocytes, we probed for the presence of the TNF mRNAs in several quiescent and activated CTL clones. No TNF mRNA could be found in constitutively cytolytic Lyt-2+ clones, and only two out of three clones tested accumulated TNF mRNA after stimulation with phorbol myristate acetate and ionomycin. Of two L3T4+ clones that can be induced to become cytolytic by a combination of antigen and IL-1, only one accumulated TNF-beta mRNA in the process. The PC60 rat X mouse T cell hybrid, which becomes cytolytic in response to a combination of IL-1 and IL-2, also failed to accumulate TNF mRNA after stimulation with these agents. Our results strongly suggest that TNF-alpha or -beta are not necessary agents of the cytolytic activity exhibited by antigen-specific T lymphocytes. 相似文献

The enterotoxins of Staphylococcus aureus (SE) are extremely potent activators of human and mouse T lymphocytes. In general, T cell responses to SE are MHC class II dependent (presumably reflecting the ability of SE to bind directly to MHC class II molecules) and restricted to responding cells expressing certain T cell receptor beta-chain variable (TCR V beta) domains. Recently we demonstrated that CD8+ CTL expressing appropriate TCR V beta could recognize SE presented on MHC class II-bearing target cells. We now show that MHC class II expression is not strictly required for T cell recognition of SE. Both human and mouse MHC class II negative target cells could be recognized (i.e., lysed) in a SE-dependent fashion by CD8+ mouse CTL clones and polyclonal populations, provided that the CTL expressed appropriate TCR V beta elements. SE-dependent lysis of MHC class II negative targets by CTL was inhibited by mAb directed against CD3 or LFA-1, suggesting that SE recognition was TCR and cell contact dependent. Furthermore, different SE were recognized preferentially by CTL on MHC class II+ vs MHC class II- targets. Taken together, our data raise the possibility that SE binding structures distinct from MHC class II molecules may exist. 相似文献

Interleukin-6 is constitutively produced by human CTL clones and is required to maintain their cytolytic function 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Maturation of cytolytic T lymphocytes from nonlytic precursors requires cytokines in addition to IL2. Interleukin-6 is the principal cytokine that cooperates with IL2 in the induction of CTL differentiation from murine and human thymocyte precursors. However, a cytotoxic differentiation factor (CDF) role of IL6 for mature T cells is challenged by data indicating that IL2 alone is sufficient for CTL generation. The aim of this study was to identify a model system in which IL6 acted as a CDF for human peripheral T cells. We noted that IL6 was endogenously produced by CTL clones in the course of their expansion with APC, lectin, and IL2. The majority of several hundred T-cell clones, both CD4+ and CD8+, produced IL6 in response to relatively high doses of IL2. Other experiments that compared the cytolytic function of CTL clones cultured in the presence of IL6 with that of the same clones cultured in the absence of IL6 demonstrated that IL6 contributes to the cytolytic ability of the majority of human CTL clones. Our data suggest that IL6 acts in an autocrine fashion to support CTL differentiation in human T-cell clones. 相似文献

Induction of class I MHC-restricted, peptide-specific cytolytic T lymphocytes by peptide priming in vivo 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The present study investigated the possibility that protein Ag fragments in the form of peptides could serve as the priming Ag in the generation of a MHC class I-restricted immune response. Trypsin-digested chicken ovalbumin (OVA-TD) fragments were used as the model Ag. The results demonstrate the peptides within OVA-TD, when injected into C57BL/6 mice, could prime T cells which lysed H-2b Ia-EL4 target cells in an OVA-TD-specific manner. In contrast to priming with OVA-TD, immunization of mice with intact OVA did not lead to generation of CTL against OVA-TD or OVA. Furthermore, target cells sensitized with intact OVA failed to be recognized by OVA-peptide-specific CTL indicating that the target cells serving as APC were unable to generate the relevant peptide determinants recognized by the T cells. These results support the idea that the processing pathway within APC for class I-restricted T cells may differ from that used for class II-restricted T cells. Using OVA-TD-specific CTL clones (phenotypically Thy 1+, CD8+, CD4-, Pgp-1+) isolated from primed animals to screen OVA-TD fractions separated by HPLC, two T cell peptide determinants were identified corresponding to OVA sequences 111-122 and 370-381. Both determinants were recognized by CTL clones in the context of the H-2Db molecule. 相似文献

IL-2 and IFN-gamma are two necessary lymphokines in the development of cytolytic T cells 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16

A filler cell-free limiting-dilution microculture system has been developed for the expansion and differentiation of a high proportion of single CD4-CD8+ T cells into cytolytic T cell (CTL) clones. The stimulus used was PMA together with the calcium ionophore ionomycin. The growth and differentiation factors were rIL-2, together with either a Con A-stimulated spleen cell supernatant (CAS) or rIFN-gamma. CTL activity was monitored by an autoradiographic 111In-release assay. With CAS and rIL-2 present, 50% of all potential precursors (CTL-p) produced cytolytic clones. Substitution of rIFN-gamma for CAS gave a similar efficiency with up to 42% of CTL-p producing cytolytic clones. rIL-2 alone allowed only a small proportion (6%) of CD4-CD8+ T cells to become cytolytic clones. Addition of rIL-2 and rIFN-gamma at various stages of the culture demonstrated that IL-2 was required throughout, but exogenous IFN-gamma was required only during the early stages. It is concluded that for at least 40% of all CTL-p, the lymphokines IL-2 and IFN-gamma are essential and act in synergy to induce proliferation and differentiation into CTL. 相似文献

Fine specificity and antigen receptor expression among influenza virus-specific cytolytic T lymphocyte clones 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Influenza virus stimulates a vigorous cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL) response in the mouse that is directed to several virion polypeptides. This report examines the fine specificity of a panel of murine influenza-specific CTL clones restricted by MHC class I products of the H-2d haplotype. Ten of 22 A/JAPAN/305/57-specific CTL clones analyzed were directed to the A/JAPAN/305/57 hemagglutinin protein as detected by using target cells infected with a recombinant vaccinia virus containing hemagglutinin gene. Based on their fine specificity of hemagglutinin recognition, these clones defined four functional epitopes on the hemagglutinin. The remaining 12 cytolytic clones exhibited cross-reactivity for type A influenza viruses of the major human subtypes, and approximately 60% of these clones were directed to the nucleocapsid protein. KJ16-133 monoclonal antibody analysis of the utilization of the T cell receptor V beta 8 gene segment subfamily revealed that members of this V beta gene subfamily are expressed by both hemagglutinin- and nucleocapsid-specific MHC class I-restricted CTL (and by influenza-specific MHC class II-restricted T lymphocytes as well). These results suggest that CTL detect several distinct antigenic sites on the hemagglutinin. In addition, these results reveal no direct correlation between viral antigenic specificity and V beta gene expression by these virus-specific CLT clones. 相似文献

Selective activation of helper and cytolytic T-cell functions of L3T4+ clones with either antireceptor antibody or phorbol ester and ionophore 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
After activation with specific antigen and antigen presenting cells (APC) L3T4+ inducer T-cell clones can lyse Ia+ APC. The present study characterizes the mechanism of activation and specificity of L3T4+ inducer cell-mediated cytolytic function. Two methods that bypass the physiological stimulus of antigen presented on Ia+ APC were used to activate L3T4+ clones. The first method utilized an antireceptor monoclonal antibody (MAb), KJ16.133, to activate KJ16.133+ clones. The activated clones expressed nonspecific cytolytic activity, killing target cells irrespective of their H-2 haplotype or their ability to express cell surface Ia molecules. The crosslinking of bound KJ16.133 antibody greatly enhanced cytolytic activity. This activation is receptor specific because KJ16.133- clones were not activated under identical conditions. The second method of activation was provided by a synergistic action of phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) and ionophore A23187. These agents nonspecifically activated all L3T4+ clones tested. The simultaneous presence of the two agents is required for maximal activation. Again, the activated clones expressed potent nonspecific cytolytic activity. These observations demonstrated that L3T4+ inducer T-cell-mediated killing can be separated into two stages: an activation step, which can be specifically and nonspecifically triggered and an effector phase which causes nonspecific lysis of bystander targets. The induction of nonspecific cytolytic activity by antireceptor MAb was inhibited by anti-L3T4 MAb (GK1.5). In contrast, activation of nonspecific cytolytic activity by treatment with PMA plus A23187 was not inhibited by anti-L3T4 MAb. Under the above activation conditions, antireceptor MAb selectively induced the secretion of IL-3 and expression of nonspecific cytolytic activity. However, there was little or no concomitant proliferation and production of IL-2. In contrast, activation by PMA plus A23187 coordinately induces expression of nonspecific cytolytic activity, secretion of lymphokines (IL-3 and IL-2), and cell proliferation. Thus, the anticlonotypic activation preferentially induces certain functions whereas activation with PMA plus A23187 is not selective. 相似文献

It has been proposed that CTL-mediated cytotoxicity may involve multiple lytic mechanisms. We have examined both the antibody-redirected cytolytic potential and the direct cytotoxicity of purified human peripheral blood high buoyant density CD4+ and CD8+ T cells activated with IL-2 and anti-CD3 mAb. TNF-sensitive and TNF-resistant targets and various metabolic inhibitors were used to compare the antibody-redirected cytotoxicity of T cell subsets and discern the role of potential lytic mediators. In a 4-h assay against several different nitrophenyl-modified targets, the heteroconjugated antibody (anti-CD3-anti-nitrophenyl) redirected cytolytic potential of 72-h activated CD4+ T cells was inhibited by the continuous presence of actinomycin D, cycloheximide, and EGTA, but not mitomycin C, cyclosporin A, or cholera toxin (CT). Conversely, only CT and EGTA inhibited the antibody-redirected cytolytic potential of activated CD8+ T cells. Despite both CD4+ and CD8+ T cell subsets expressing granzymes, pore-forming protein, TNF-beta, and TNF-alpha, these T cell subsets displayed distinct pathways of antibody-redirected lysis against TNF-sensitive and TNF-resistant targets, even in the presence of anti-TNF antibodies. In addition, these same effector T cell subsets were also directly cytotoxic (in the absence of heteroconjugated antibody) against TNF-sensitive targets in an 18-h assay. Indeed, this direct cytotoxicity was completely abrogated by anti-TNF-alpha antibody and was sensitive to the metabolic inhibitors (cyclosporin A, CT, cycloheximide, and actinomycin D), all of which blocked CD4+/CD8+ T cell TNF-alpha production. Therefore, both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were demonstrated to utilize antibody and lymphokine-mediated lytic mechanisms. CD4+ and CD8+ effector subsets were demonstrated to lyse the same TNF-sensitive target by these two different mechanisms. Although it cannot be excluded that the redirected lytic mechanisms of both CD4+ and CD8+ effectors share common elements, it is likely that other important events in this cytolytic process are fundamentally distinct between these subsets of T cells. 相似文献

The role of the T cell receptor, CD8, and LFA-1 in different stages of the cytolytic reaction mediated by alloreactive T lymphocyte clones 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The cytotoxic reaction mediated by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) consists of three phases: first, the CTL binds to the target cell; next, the CTL is triggered to lyse the target cell; and in the third phase, the CTL detaches from the target cell which is lysed in the absence of the CTL. Recently, we obtained evidence that human alloreactive CTL clones initially adhere to target cells without the involvement of the interaction between the T cell receptor (Tcr) and its specific target antigen. In the present study, we investigated the effect of monoclonal antibodies specific for the Tcr on the cytotoxic reaction of three CD8+ HLA-A2-specific CTL clones, using a single cell assay in which the binding event can be distinguished from the post-binding (lytic) phase of the cytolytic reaction. It was found that monoclonal antibodies directed at a variable part of the Tcr do not affect the binding phase but strongly block the lytic phase of the cytotoxic reaction. An anti-constant region Tcr antibody and an anti-CD3 reagent had a similar effect on the two phases of the reaction as the anti-variable part Tcr antibodies. In contrast, antibodies specific for LFA-1 strongly blocked the adhesion phase but did not affect the lytic phase. Antibodies specific for CD-8 had intermediate effects. They could block both the adhesion as well as the lytic phase. The effect of anti-CD8 appeared to be dependent on the CTL clone tested. One clone was found to be inhibited in the adhesion phase, but not in the lytic phase, whereas anti-CD8 hardly blocked the adhesion phase of two other CTL clones, but affected the lytic step of those clones. Our data indicate that LFA-1 is a major adhesion molecule in the CTL reaction, whereas the Tcr/CD3 complex is implicated in a phase after the initial formation of conjugates. CD8 is associated with both steps in the cytolytic reaction. In addition to its minor role in the adhesion phase, our data suggest strongly that CD-8 is involved in the triggering phase of the cytolytic reaction. 相似文献

Cloned murine cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) having defined specificity were triggered by the phorbol ester together with a calcium ionophore (either A23187 or Ionomycin) to lyse syngeneic or third party target cells efficiently. Neither phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) nor calcium ionophore alone induced efficient lysis. The characteristics of the lytic process induced by these signals are similar to those of antigen-specific or lectin-facilitated lysis by CTL. Lysis is calcium and temperature dependent and shows kinetics which are not grossly different from lysis mediated via the antigen receptor. Two helper T lymphocyte clones were not induced to lyse efficiently EL-4 target cells by concanavalin A or PMA + ionophore. Triggering of lysis induced with PMA plus ionophore by the CTL clone L3 differed from antigen-mediated lysis in specificity and in the susceptibility to inhibition by cytochalasin B. Properties of the target cell determine which cell surface associative recognition structures are important in the efficient lysis of these cells. Anti-LFA-1 monoclonal antibodies inhibited efficiently both antigen-mediated and PMA + ionophore-induced lysis of P-815 or EL-4 target cells which are of hematopoietic origin. However, anti-LFA-1 antibodies do not inhibit antigen-mediated, lectin-facilitated, or PMA + Ionomycin-induced CTL cytolysis of target cells derived from the L cell fibroblast line. We conclude that two intracellular signals, which can be provided by the combination of PMA + ionophore, are required for efficient lysis by antigen-specific murine CTL clones. When the T cell receptor for antigen is bypassed using PMA + ionophore to trigger lysis, we show that Lyt-2 and LFA-1 molecules may be required for efficient lysis. These associative recognition structures appear to play an important role in postactivation steps leading to efficient delivery of the lethal hit to the target cell. 相似文献

The T cell response to microbial T cell mitogens (MTM) such as enterotoxins from Staphylococcus aureus (SE) and the soluble mitogen from Mycoplasma arthritidis, resemble the minor lymphocyte stimulatory locus (Mls) response in several aspects. An important feature of the Mls response is it restriction to CD4+ cells. This study demonstrates that in contrast to Mls, the MTM response includes both CD4+ and CD8+ subsets. Both CD4+ and CD8+ cells expanded in IL-2 after stimulation with SEB showed preferential expression of T cell receptors bearing V beta 8 domains. Mouse and human target cells could be lysed in the presence of MTM both by MTM-stimulated CD8+ lymphocytes and by MHC class I-restricted CTL clones of defined Ag specificity. MTM-induced lysis required the expression of MHC class II, but not class I Ag, on the target cells. Inhibition studies of SEB and Ag-dependent cytolysis by CTL clones underlined the crucial role of CD3 and LFA-1 in both instances, but showed CD8 dependence only for AG-dependent cytolysis. Together these findings suggest important differences between the putative MTM-mediated interaction of TCR with MHC molecules and the classical TCR/MHC interaction involved in MHC-restricted Ag recognition. 相似文献

BALB/c-H-2dm2 mice (H-2KdI-AdI-EdDd), a congenic strain of BALB/c mice, have a deletion of the class I MHC Ag, H-2Ld. This gene encodes the exclusive class I MHC-restricting gene product for vesicular stomatitis virus-specific cytolytic T lymphocytes. When dm2 mice were immunized with infectious vesicular stomatitis virus, a specific CTL response was generated. These CTL lysed VSV-infected targets that expressed Iad gene products, but not VSV-infected Iad- targets. The CTL were used initially as long term cytolytic lines; 13 CTL clones were derived by limit dilution. All of the clones expressed the phenotype CD3+, CD4+, CD8-; some clones expressed TCR that are members of the V beta 8 family, others did not. The clones were restricted by class II MHC Ag, both I-Ad and I-Ed serving as restricting elements for individual clones of the panel. All of the clones derived from dm2 mice were specific for the immunizing serotype, Indiana, of VSV and did not lyse syngeneic cells infected with VSV of the New Jersey serotype. Studies using defective interfering virus particles, UV light-inactivated virus, and purified micelles of the viral glycoprotein indicated that infectious virus was not required for sensitization of target cells for immune recognition by the class II MHC-restricted CTL clones. Additional studies using recombinant vaccinia virus vectors to sensitize targets confirmed the specificity of the clones for the viral glycoprotein. These studies also demonstrated a cryptic population of class II-restricted CTL in BALB/c lines specific for VSV G. Naturally occurring variant viruses and mutant viruses, selected for escape from neutralization by mAb, were used in an effort to map the determinant(s) recognized; on the basis of patterns of target cell lysis, three groups of epitopes recognized by the clones were defined. Therefore, in the absence of the class I MHC Ag required for a CTL response to VSV, dm2 mice generated CTL with the CD4+ phenotype that recognized different epitopes on the viral glycoprotein, and lysed cells in a class II-MHC restricted, Ag-specific manner. 相似文献

A TNF (TNF-alpha and TNF-beta)-sensitive target, L929, and two TNF-resistant targets, P815 and LK were used to compare the cytolytic activity among subsets of CD4+ (Th) clones. Cytolytic activity was induced with either Con A, CD3-mAb, or Ag-pulsed LK cells. Six Th1 clones are strongly cytolytic against all three targets. In contrast, Th2 clones are either noncytolytic or weakly cytolytic. Although there is an apparent correlation between TNF production, killing of L929 cells, and the killing of TNF-resistant targets, an anti-TNF serum (capable of neutralizing both TNF-alpha and TNF-beta) selectively inhibits CD4 clones to lyse L929 cells, whereas the lysis of P815 or LK cells was unaffected. The continuous presence of noncytotoxic levels of Actinomycin D (AcD) and cycloheximide, but not mitomycin C, cyclosporin A (CsA), or cholera toxin (ChT) inhibits the lysis of Ag-pulsed, Ia-bearing LK cells; indicating a requirement for de novo synthesis of RNA and protein for cytolytic activity. Although pretreatment with AcD, CsA, or ChT strongly inhibits production of IL-2, TNF and IFN-gamma, only clones pretreated with AcD lose cytolytic activity against Ag-pulsed, Ia-bearing LK cells. These observations support a model of TNF-independent killing of TNF-resistant targets. The TNF-independent cytolytic activity does not correlate with serine esterase activity released into media upon activation of CD4 clones. Moreover, the effects of metabolic inhibitors on serine esterase release do not correlate with their effects on cytolytic activity. Collectively, the data demonstrate that activated CD4 cells express two distinct cytolytic activities; a TNF (and IFN-gamma)-mediated cytotoxicity and a TNF (and IFN-gamma)-independent cytolytic activity. Both pathways require de novo synthesis of RNA and protein and appear to be independent of granule enzyme release. Only the TNF-independent cytolytic activity is resistant to CsA and ChT inhibition. 相似文献

Expression of surface lymphotoxin and tumor necrosis factor on activated T, B, and natural killer cells. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The expression of membrane-associated forms of lymphotoxin (LT) and TNF were examined on cell lines of T, B, and myeloid origin, IL-2 dependent T cell clones, and peripheral blood lymphocytes. Inducible and constitutive patterns of surface LT expression were found on T cells as exemplified by the II-23.D7, a CD4+T cell hybridoma, and HUT-78, a T cell lymphoma. Phorbol ester induced surface LT expression on Ramos, an EBV transformed B cell line, but at a slower rate of appearance when compared to the II-23.D7. Secretion of LT was rapidly inducible by phorbol ester in II-23.D7 and also in HUT-78 but with slower kinetics; surface LT expression continued in both lines after secretion had ceased. Low levels of membrane TNF were transiently induced on II-23.D7 and HUT-78, but none was observed on Ramos. Peripheral blood monocytes and some myeloid tumor lines did not express surface LT. Several T cell clones expressed surface LT after Ag-specific stimulation, and expression persisted several days. Stimulation through the TCR or by IL-2 rapidly induced surface LT on resting peripheral T cells and CD56+ NK cells; pokeweed mitogen activation induced expression on CD20+ B cells. Consistent with previous results, immunoprecipitation with anti-LT mAb showed that LT was complexed with a distinct 33 kDa glycoprotein (p33) on cells that expressed surface LT, whereas secreted LT was not associated with p33. Surface and secreted modes of LT expression by activated T, B, and NK cells suggests that LT can be utilized as either a localized or diffusible mediator in immune responses. 相似文献

The soluble glycoprotein Gs of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), at approximately 10(4) molecules per cell, sensitized target cells for lysis by clones of CD4+ cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL). In addition to lysis, the clones responded by proliferation and interleukin-2 release. Targets sensitized by Gs competed effectively with VSV-infected cells for recognition. Immune cytolysis by these CD4+ CTLs was restricted by class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens and was specific to VSV. The specific class II MHC antigen which was restricting for each clone remained the same whether the targets were sensitized by infection with VSV or by exogenously added soluble antigen. Sensitization by Gs appeared to require prior processing because the antigen-presenting cells that were fixed prior to exposure to Gs failed to be recognized by the CTL clones. The high efficiency of this uptake and processing was suggested by the inability of Gs at concentrations up to 10(7) per cell to block superinfection by VSV or to effect the RNA-synthetic machinery of uninfected cells. Also, Gs failed to hemolyze sheep erythrocytes when there was hemolysis by virions or an amino-terminal peptide of the VSV glycoprotein. Extrapolation of these results to viral diseases was possible because soluble viral glycoproteins were naturally synthesized during many viral infections and class II MHC antigens were inducible in cells of nonlymphoid origin. Therefore, CD4+ CTLs may be important participants in increasing virus-induced pathology, especially among adjacent uninfected cells. 相似文献
