Spleen cells obtained from hamsters bearing PARA-7 tumors greater than 1.0 cm were not reactive in microcytotoxicity assays unless preincubated overnight. The events occurring during in vitro incubation which lead to reversal of tumor-mediated suppression of cellular immunity were investigated. After 24 hr of incubation, supernatants overlying spleen cells from tumor-bearing hosts contained a factor which blocked cytotoxicity of simian virus 40 (SV40)3-sensitized spleen cells at the PARA-7 target cell level but not at the effector cell level. The preparations did not mediate antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Opposite results were obtained in assays of culture medium overlying spleen cells from hosts with a tumor burden less than 0.1 cm. Although ADCC activity was present, no significant blocking was detectable. Treatment of inactive spleen cells with anti-hamster gamma-globlin in the presence of complement (anti-HGG + C) prevented activation and formation of blocking factor but did not impair the cytotoxic activity of already activated cells. Addition of SV40 antiserum to anti-HGG + C-treated cells led to effector cell activation, whereas heterologous virus-immune sera did not. Control studies established that the antibody-mediated recovery of cytotoxicity was not due to arming. Further studies showed that PARA-7 tumor antigen extract blocked at the effector cell level, not at the target cell level. Addition of PARA-7 extract to spleen cell supernatants mediating ADCC resulted in formation of a factor which blocked at the target cell level but not at the effector cell level. These data are compatible with the following interpretation. Spleen cell unresponsiveness is due to antigen blockade. Recovery of cytotoxicity occurs because antibody synthesized during the incubation period promotes elution of antigen from the effector cell surface. Thus, activation is accompanied by the generation of tumor antigen-antibody complexes.  相似文献

The capacity of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody-positive sera from homosexually active men without acquired immune deficiency syndrome to lyse the HIV-infected T cell lines MOLT-4f and CCRF-CEM (CEM) in cooperation with lymphocytes from normal donors was investigated. Twenty-seven HIV antibody-positive sera, most of which enhanced the killing of HIV-infected MOLT-4f and CEM target cells by normal mononuclear cells were studied in detail. HIV antibody-positive sera resulted in lysis at dilutions as high as 1/10,000. HIV antibody-negative sera did not augment lysis of infected target cells. In addition, lysis of uninfected targets was not enhanced in the presence of HIV antibody-positive sera. Because fractionation of the HIV antibody-positive sera on a protein A affinity column resulted in recovery of the activity from the IgG fraction, the extra cytotoxic activity mediated by nonimmune cells in the presence of immune sera appears to be antibody-dependent. Furthermore, the cytotoxic effector cells were in the nonrosetting fraction of lymphocytes and expressed Leu-11 (cluster designation (CD)15) antigens, which is characteristic of cells participating in antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity reactions. The antibody specificity of the sera, determined by radioimmunoprecipitation, provides evidence that antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity can occur even when there are no detectable antibodies directed against gag proteins. Sera which lacked detectable antibodies to the envelope protein gp120 by radioimmunoprecipitation did not mediate antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity.  相似文献

Spleen cells from LSH hamsters inoculated with xenogeneic, allogeneic, or syngeneic (PARA-7) tumor cells were assayed for their ability to mediate direct cell-mediated cytotoxicity (DCMC) and lectin-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (LDCC) in a 4-hr chromium release assay. Spleen cells from animals immune to xenogeneic or allogeneic cells demonstrated specific DCMC against homologous target cells in the absence of Con A and nonspecific LDCC against both homologous and heterologous target cells in the presence of Con A. Spleen cells from animals bearing syngeneic PARA-7 tumors (TBA) failed to express DCMC against homologous or heterologous target cells; however, significant lysis of all target cells occurred in the presence of Con A. LDCC was not detectable when nonsensitized spleen cells from normal animals were employed. The LDCC reaction was dependent on the concentration of Con A and the number of effector cells present in the reaction. The development of LDCC effector cells in the TBA appeared to parallel the development of both DCMC and LDCC effector cells in immune animals.  相似文献

Antisera were prepared in syngeneic hosts against subcellular fractions of simian virus 40 (SV40)-transformed cells (MoalphaPM, MoalphaNuc), glutaraldehydefixed SV40-transformed cells (HaalphaH-50-G, MoalphaVLM-G), and electrophoretically purified denatured SV40 tumor antigen (T-ag) (RaalphaT). Immune sera were also collected from animals bearing tumors induced by SV40-transformed cells (HaalphaT, MoalphaT, HAF) and from SV40-immunized animals that had rejected a transplant of SV40-transformed cells (HaalphaS, MoalphaS). Immunological reagents prepared against cell surface (MoalphaPM, HaalphaS, MoalphaS, HaalphaH-50-G, MoalphaVLM-G) reacted exclusively with the surface of SV40-transformed cells by indirect immunofluorescence or protein A surface antigen radioimmunoassay. Immunological reagents prepared against the nuclear fraction (MoalphaNuc) or whole-cell determinants (HaalphaT, MoalphaT, HAF, RaalphaT) reacted with both the nuclei and surface of SV40-transformed or -infected cells. All reagents were capable of immunoprecipitating 96,000-molecular weight large T-ag from solubilized whole cell extracts of SV40-transformed cells. The exclusive surface reactivity of HaalphaS exhibited in immunofluorescence tests was abolished by solubilization of subcellular fractions, which then allowed immunoprecipitation of T-ag by HaalphaS from both nuclear and plasma membrane preparations. Specificity was established by the fact that all T-reactive reagents failed to react in serological tests against chemically transformed mouse cells, and sera from mice bearing transplants chemically transformed mouse cells (MoalphaDMBA-2) failed to react with SV40-transformed mouse or hamster cells. Reagents demonstrating positive surface immunofluorescence and protein A radioimmunoassay reactions against SV40-transformed cells were capable of blocking the surface binding of RaalphaT to SV40-transformed cells in a double-antibody surface antigen radioimmunoassay. This blocking ability demonstrated directly that a component specificity of each surface-reactive reagent is directed against SV40 T-ag. A model is presented which postulates that the differential detection of T-ag by the various serological reagents is a reflection of immunogenic and antigenic differences between T-ag polypeptides localized in nuclei and plasma membranes.  相似文献

Freshly collected peritoneal cells (PC) and cultured spleen cells (SC) (but not fresh SC) from nonimmune mice could mediate antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) against herpes simplex virus (HSV)-infected cells in the presence of mouse or human sera containing antibody to HSV. PC also demonstrated variable natural killer cell cytotoxicity to infected cells. Both PC and cultured SC required high concentrations of antibody and high effector to target cell ratios for optimal ADCC. The time kinetics of the reaction appeared to depend on the state of activation of the effector cells. In both PC and SC populations, ADCC activity was limited to adherent cells, and was profoundly inhibited by particulate latex or silica. The murine effector cell found in PC and SC able to mediate ADCC to HSV-infected cells appears to be a macrophage.  相似文献

Simian virus 40 (SV40) infection of human diploid cells failed to cause an enhanced production of thymidine kinase during the first 10 days after infection. Thymidine kinase activities from extracts of SV40-transformed cultures (human or simian) were considerably higher than the activity levels in extracts from the normal cells of origin. In addition, whereas the kinase activities obtained for human diploid cultures decreased as the cell sheet became confluent, the kinase activities for SV40-transformed human cells remained high after confluence was reached. Antisera obtained from hamsters bearing SV40 or adeno-7-SV40 hybrid virus tumors selectively inhibited enzyme from transformed sources (human or simian). Also, the antisera selectively inhibited enzyme extracted from SV40-lytically infected monkey cells. Sera from normal animals or from hamsters bearing polyoma tumors failed to inhibit enzymes from normal, SV40-transformed, or SV40-lytically infected cells. The Michaelis constant of partially purified enzyme from SV40-transformed cells was two to five times as high as that obtained for partially purified enzyme from human diploid cell cultures.  相似文献

Generation of cytotoxic lymphocytes by SV40-induced antigens   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
In order to study the correlation of in vivo tumor transplantation immunity and in vitro immunologic assays, cell-mediated cytotoxicity against SV40-transformed cells was studied in AL/N strain mice by using 51Cr-release assay. Killing of SV40-transformed AL/N fibroblast cells was observed by spleen cells of AL/N mice immunized with syngeneic SV40-transformed cells. Immunization with the solubilized SV40 tumor-specific transplantation antigen (TSTA) that induced transplantation immunity in vivo did not elicit cytotoxic spleen cells in vitro. However, the spleen cells from mice immunized with solubilized TSTA and then sensitized in vitro with SV40-transformed cells became cytotoxic against SV40-transformed fibroblasts. Similarly, SV40 TSTA (T antigen) purified by immunoprecipitation was able to prime the lymphocytes in AL/N mice: the primed lymphocytes could differentiate into cytotoxic lymphocytes upon in vitro stimulation by SV40-transformed cells. These data indicate that SV40 TSTA (T antigen) plays a role in the induction of cytotoxic lymphocytes.  相似文献

Human alveolar macrophage have three distinct receptors for IgG: FcRI, FcRII, and FcRIII. In order to compare the ability of these receptors to mediate target cell lysis, three different assay systems were examined. First, we studied lysis of chicken E (CE) opsonized with heteroantibodies, which are synthetic antibodies composed of Fab fragments with anti-FcR activity covalently linked to Fab fragments with anti-CE activity. We found alveolar macrophage readily lysed heteroantibody-opsonized CE via each of the three FcR classes (FcRI, 20 +/- 5%; FcRII, 27 +/- 7%; and FcRIII, 13 +/- 13%, p less than 0.05). Non-FcR-dependent lysis of anti-beta 2-microglobulin x anti-CE heteroantibody-opsonized CE was not detected. Second, lysis of hybridoma cell lines bearing anti-FcR antibodies on their cell surface was examined to assess killing of "tumor-like" target cells. Whereas peripheral blood monocytes and lymphocytes were able to lyse hybridoma cell lines bearing surface anti-FcR mAb, alveolar macrophages were not. Third, activity of alveolar macrophage FcR was examined in a conventional antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity assay by using O+ (R1,R2) human RBC opsonized with human anti-D and anti-CD serum as target cells. We found lysis of anti-D and anti-CD opsonized human RBC was mediated exclusively via FcRI. No activity of FcRII or FcRIII was detected in these latter assays even if performed under conditions that impair FcRI activity. Thus, all three FcR present on alveolar macrophage mediate lysis of heteroantibody-opsonized CE; in contrast, with the use of a conventional antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity assay, only FcRI activity was detected. We were unable to demonstrate lysis of anti-FcR-bearing hybridoma cell lines by alveolar macrophages.  相似文献

Chickens and quails were immunized in parallel either i.v. or intramuscularly (i.m.) with lectin column-purified antigens from chick embryo cells that were transformed in vitro by avain sarcoma virus (ASV). After five to six injections, immunity of the animals was tested by challenge with ASV into the wing webs. Whereas tumor growth was inhibited after i.v. immunization with respect to incidence rate and time of tumor appearance, tumor growth was enhanced after i.m. injection. Animals that were injected with normal cell antigens served as controls. Spleen cells from only those animals that were immunized i.v. exerted a cytotoxic effect in vitro against ASV-transformed cells, whereas spleen cells from i.m. injected animals, in contrast, suppressed such cytotoxicity. The search for serum blocking or arming factors suggested that sera from i.m. injected animals block cellular cytotoxicity whereas sera from i.v. immunized animals render normal spleen cells cytotoxic (arming effect). The use of viruses from different subgroups and of antigens from gp85-lacking ASV-transformed cells indicates that immune effects were obtained against tumor cell surface antigens that differ from the antigen that is involved in virus neutralization (s-gp85).  相似文献

We recently reported the preparation and characterization of a monoclonal antibody, 32.2, specific for the high-affinity Fc receptor (FcR) for IgG on human monocytes. We have utilized the hybridoma cell line producing this antibody as a target for monocyte-mediated cytotoxicity. The hybridoma was selected for stable sublines that expressed high quantities of surface 32.2 immunoglobulin (Ig) through flow cytometry. Monocyte-mediated cytotoxicity, with these sublines used as targets, was evaluated with the use of a 51Cr-release assay. It was found that monocytes could efficiently lyse the hybridoma cells (HC 32.2) bearing surface Ig directed to the high-affinity FcR. Consistent with the specificity of the 32.2 antibody for an epitope on the high-affinity receptor outside of the ligand binding site, human IgG did not block monocyte killing of HC 32.2. In contrast, monocytes could not mediate lysis of hybridoma cells bearing high levels of antibody directed to other monocyte cell surface molecules, in particular, class I MHC molecules, the C3bi receptor, and the My 23 antigen. The effect of IFN-gamma on the ability of monocytes to mediate lysis of the 32.2 Ig-bearing hybridomas was also assessed. Monocytes cultured in the absence of IFN-gamma could lyse the hybridoma line expressing high levels of 32.2 Ig as efficiently as monocytes cultured in the presence of IFN-gamma. However, untreated monocytes were less able than IFN-gamma-treated monocytes to kill HC 32.2 expressing lower levels of Ig. Thus, IFN-gamma may enhance the efficiency of monocyte-mediated antibody-dependent killing under conditions where limited antibody is available on the target. These studies demonstrate that the high-affinity FcR on monocytes can act as a cytotoxic trigger molecule for killing of tumor cell targets and that this trigger does not require specific binding to the Fc binding epitope. These results further encourage possible clinical application of the 32.2 monoclonal antibody in tumor therapy.  相似文献

Mouse monoclonal antibody 2H7 recognizes the CD20 cell surface phosphoprotein that is expressed in normal as well as malignant B cells. CD20 may be a useful target for therapy of B cell lymphomas, since damaged normal B cells can be replaced by their antigen-negative precursors. Monoclonal antibody 2H7 is an IgG2b (kappa) immunoglobulin which cannot mediate antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity with human lymphocytes or complement-dependent cytotoxicity with human serum. We have now generated a chimeric 2H7 antibody by substituting the mouse constant domains of 2H7 with the human gamma 1 and kappa domains. This new antibody has the same binding specificities as 2H7 but is highly effective in mediating antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity with human effector cells and complement-dependent cytotoxicity with human complement.  相似文献

Treatment of Simian Virus 40 (SV40) infected monkey cells with fluorophenylalanine (FPA) resulted in increased uptake of thymidine by the cells, and progressive inhibition of both viral and cellular DNA synthesis. Viral DNA synthesis was more sensitive to inhibition by FPA than cell DNA synthesis. Synthesis of SV40 T antigens was however unaffected by FPA, as judged from immunofluorescence assays. The M.W. of the major polypetides immunoprecipitated from cell extracts by antibodies from tumor bearing hamster sera was similarly unaffected. It is suggested that T antigen synthesized in the presence of FPA is non functional.  相似文献

Treatment of P815 tumor cells with adriamycin increased their sensitivity to killing by anti-P815 antibody plus C, but not by allogeneic P815-sensitized spleen cells. Conversely, mitomycin C treatment enhanced the cells' sensitivity to cell-mediated, but not antibody-C, killing. Hydrocortisone, but not epinephrine, was effective in increasing the resistance of the cells to killing by both antibody-C and cell-mediated attack systems. The ability of the tumor cells to resist antibody-C killing correlated with their ability to incorporate fatty acid into complex cellular lipid; no such correlation was found between the cellular lipid synthesis and tumor cell susceptibility to cell-mediated killing. Drug or hormone-treated tumor cells exhibited unique changes in cellular lipid synthesis and composition and in cell surface physical properties that correlated with their susceptibility to antibody-C or cell-mediated attack. Cells increased in their sensitivity to antibody-C killing exhibited a decreased cholesterol:phospholipid mole ratio. In contrast, cells rendered more sensitive to cell-mediated killing exhibited an increase in polar phospholipid content and a measurable decrease in net negative cell surface charge density. These data implicate unique chemical and/or physical properties of tumor cells to be of fundamental importance for their ability to resist either humoral or cell-mediated immunologic attack; modulation of one or another of these cellular properties results in a change in the cells' susceptibility to immune killing by antibody plus C or by cytotoxic T lymphocytes.  相似文献

Natural killer (NK) cells belong to an important lymphocyte population that eliminates transformed cells and invading pathogens without any prior sensitization. NK cells possess not only natural killing activity against non-self and altered-self cells but also exhibit cytokine production and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). Despite their important roles in the innate immune system, little is known about the details of NK cell biology. In spite of that several murine NK cell clones have been established, studies have mainly focused on their natural killing activity but not their cytokine production or ADCC. In this study, we established and characterized eight novel, immortalized murine NK cell clones derived from a temperature-sensitive SV40 large-T antigen transgenic mouse. These NK cell lines continuously proliferated for more than 30 months in a culture medium supplemented with interleukin 2. All cell lines contained azurophilic granules in the cytoplasm, and a few clones retained the NK cell functions, such as natural killing activity, cytokine production, and ADCC. In addition, one clone could serve as a host for transient as well as stable gene transfection. Taken together, these findings indicate that the cell lines could constitute useful tools for detailed analysis of murine NK cell biology.  相似文献

Surface immunoglobulin (sIg)-positive and sIg-negative subpopulations of macrophage-depleted murine splenic lymphocytes were obtained by Sephadex anti-Fab immunoabsorbent fractionation. These lymphocyte subpopulations were analyzed for the presence of Thy 1 and Ia alloantigens and also for Fc receptors by fluorescence microscopy. Concurrently, these lymphocyte subpopulations were studied for effector cell activity in antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Effector cells mediating ADCC were contained in the sIg-negative lymphocyte subpopulation and sIg-positive lymphocytes did not mediate cytotoxicity. The majority of sIg-positive lymphocytes were found to bear Ia antigens and Fc receptors, and these cell surface structures were associated in that treatment of these cells with anti-Ia sera inhibited binding of complexed immunoglobulin to Fc receptors. In contrast, most sIg-negative, Thy 1-negative lymphocytes lacked Ia Antigens, and the Fc receptors detected on such cells were not blocked by anti-Ia sera. In addition, a small subpopulation of sIg-negative, Ia antigen-positive, Fc receptor-positive lymphocytes was found. Elimination of this subpopulation of Ia antigen-positive cells from sIg-negative lymphocytes, by treatment with anti-Ia serum and complement, did not diminish ADCC effector cell activity in the resultant cell population when compared with untreated sIg-negative lymphocytes. Thus, in murine spleen, nonphagocytic mononuclear cells that lack both sIg and Ia antigens were shown to mediate ADCC.  相似文献

Sera from individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and HIV-related West African viruses can mediate high-titered, virus-specific antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) in all stages of infection. No cross-reactive ADCC can be detected between HIV and HIV-related West African strains LAV-2, HTLV-IV, and SBL-6669. Because these two groups of viruses have antigenically distinct envelope glycoproteins, ADCC-mediating antibodies are most likely directed against envelope antigens. For HIV-specific ADCC, this was further confirmed by using sera reacting with HIV envelope but negative for antibodies against viral core antigens.  相似文献

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

The nondefective adenovirus 2 (Ad2)-simian virus 40 (SV40) hybrid virus, Ad2(+)ND(1), does not induce heat-labile SV40 T antigen but does induce a previously uncharacterized heat-stable SV40 antigen-the SV40 "U" antigen. This antigen is detectable by both immunofluorescence and complement fixation by using sera from hamsters with SV40 tumors. Sera from hamsters bearing SV40 tumors can be divided into two groups, those that react with both SV40 T and U antigens (T(+)U(+) sera) and those that react with SV40 T antigen only (T(+)U(-) sera). SV40 U-specific sera from monkeys immunized with Ad2(+)ND(1)-infected cells do not react with SV40 T antigen by immunofluorescence but do react with an antigen in the nucleus of SV40-transformed cells and with an early, cytosine arabinoside-resistant antigen present in the nucleus of SV40-infected cells. A heat-stable SV40 antigen detectable by complement fixation with T(+)U(+) hamster sera is present in extracts of SV40-induced hamster tumors and in cell packs of SV40-infected or -transformed cells. SV40 U-antigen synthesis by Ad2(+)ND(1) virus is partially sensitive to inhibitors of deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis, whereas U-antigen synthesis by SV40 virus is an early cytosine arabinoside-resistant event. As an early SV40 antigen differing from SV40 T antigen, U antigen may play a role in malignant transformation mediated by SV40.  相似文献

Human cell lines were infected with different strains of human immunodeficiency virus types 1 and 2 (HIV-1 and HIV-2) as well as with a simian immunodeficiency virus SIVmac isolate and used as targets in an antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) assay. Sera from HIV-1- or HIV-2-infected subjects provided the antibody, and lymphocytes from normal donors provided the effector cells. About 60% of HIV-1 antibody-positive sera mediated ADCC when tested against any given HIV-1 isolate-infected target cell (human T-cell lymphotropic virus type IIIB, B40, A2587), and about 75% of HIV-2 antibody-positive sera mediated ADCC when tested against target cells infected with HIV-2 isolates (lymphadenopathy-associated virus type 2 and SBL-6669) or simian immunodeficiency virus from macaques. Within each type, individual sera showed different reactivity patterns, and the probability that a serum was ADCC positive was higher when it was tested against several strains. When the ADCC reactivity of sera against different strains was compared, diversity as detected by ADCC appeared to be greater among HIV-1 strains than among HIV-2 strains. For HIV-1, 54 to 67% of the sera gave concordant ADCC reactions, whereas for HIV-2 and SIVmac, 91% of the sera gave concordant results. Almost no strain-specific differences were seen between SBL-6669 and lymphadenopathy-associated virus type 2. As we determined previously, HIV-1 and HIV-2 did not cross-react in ADCC. The results indicated that HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibody-positive sera mediate both strain- and type-specific ADCC. HIV-2 antibody-positive sera seem to mediate ADCC with broader reactivity and to a higher frequency compared with HIV-1 antibody-positive sera.  相似文献

We have attempted to define the structural target components for the two cytotoxic mechanisms in rejecting rat heart allograft: antibody-independent (direct) and antibody-dependent (ADCC) cellular cytotoxicity. Immune spleen cells and alloantibody were obtained at 1 and 2 weeks after heart allotransplantation, respectively. The cytotoxicity of immune spleen cells, with and without alloantibody, was tested against endothelial- and myocardial-enriched heart cell populations. We found endothelial cells to be sensitive to direct cellular cytotoxicity, most likely mediated by T lymphocytes, while myocardial cells were sensitive to ADCC. Both reactions were shown to be immunologically specific.  相似文献
