C57BL/6 (B6; H-2(b)) mice mount strong AKR/Gross murine leukemia virus (MuLV)-specific CD8(+) CTL responses to the immunodominant K(b)-restricted epitope, KSPWFTTL, of endogenous AKR/Gross MuLV. In sharp contrast, spontaneous virus-expressing AKR.H-2(b) congenic mice are low/nonresponders for the generation of AKR/Gross MuLV-specific CTL. Furthermore, when viable AKR.H-2(b) spleen cells are cocultured with primed responder B6 antiviral precursor CTL, the AKR.H-2(b) cells function as "veto" cells that actively mediate the inhibition of antiviral CTL generation. AKR.H-2(b) veto cell inhibition is virus specific, MHC restricted, contact dependent, and mediated through veto cell Fas ligand/responder T cell Fas interactions. In this study, following specific priming and secondary in vitro restimulation, antiretroviral CD8(+) CTL were identified by a labeled K(b)/KSPWFTTL tetramer and flow cytometry, enabling direct visualization of AKR.H-2(b) veto cell-mediated depletion of these CTL. A 65-93% reduction in the number of B6 K(b)/KSPWFTTL tetramer(+) CTL correlated with a similar reduction in antiviral CTL cytotoxicity. Addition on sequential days to the antiviral CTL restimulation cultures of either 1) AKR.H-2(b) veto cells or 2) a blocking Fas-Ig fusion protein (to cultures also containing AKR.H-2(b) veto cells) to block inhibition demonstrated that AKR.H-2(b) veto cells begin to inhibit B6 precursor CTL/CTL expansion during days 2 and 3 of the 6-day culture. Shortly thereafter, a high percentage of B6 tetramer(+) CTL cocultured with AKR.H-2(b) veto cells was annexin V positive and Fas(high), indicating apoptosis as the mechanism of veto cell inhibition. Experiments using the irreversible inhibitor emetine demonstrated that AKR.H-2(b) cells had to be metabolically active and capable of protein synthesis to function as veto cells. Of the tetramer-positive CTL that survived veto cell-mediated apoptosis, there was no marked skewing from the preferential usage of Vbeta4, 8.1/8.2, and 11 TCR normally observed. These findings provide further insight into the complexity of host/virus interactions and suggest a fail-safe escape mechanism by virus-infected cells for epitopes residing in critical areas of viral proteins that cannot accommodate variations of amino acid sequence. 相似文献

We have previously shown that AKR.H-2b congenic mice, though carrying the responder H-2b major histocompatibility complex haplotype, are unable to generate secondary cytolytic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses specific for AKR/Gross murine leukemia virus (MuLV). Our published work has shown that this nonresponsive state is specific and not due to clonal deletion or irreversible functional inactivation of antiviral CTL precursors. In the present study, an alternative mechanism based on the presence of inhibitory AKR.H-2b cells was examined. Irradiated or mitomycin C-treated AKR.H-2b spleen cells function as in vitro stimulator cells in the generation of C57BL/6 (B6) anti-AKR/Gross virus CTL, consistent with their expression of viral antigens. In contrast, untreated viable AKR.H-2b spleen cells functioned very poorly as stimulators in vitro. Viable AKR.H-2b spleen cells were also able to cause dramatic (up to > or = 25-fold) inhibition of antiviral CTL responses stimulated in vitro by standard AKR/Gross MuLV-induced tumor cells. This inhibition was specific: AKR.H-2b modulator spleen cells did not inhibit allogeneic major histocompatibility complex-specific CTL production, even when a concurrent antiviral CTL response in the same culture well was inhibited by the modulator cells. These results and those of experiments in which either semipermeable membranes were used to separate AKR.H-2b modulator spleen cells from AKR/Gross MuLV-primed responder cells or the direct transfer of supernatants from wells where inhibition was demonstrated to wells where there was antiviral CTL responsiveness argued against a role for soluble factors as the cause of the inhibition. Rather, the inhibition was dependent on direct contact of AKR.H-2b cells in a dose-dependent manner with the responder cell population. Inhibition was shown not to be due to the ability of AKR.H-2b cells to function as unlabeled competitive target cells. Exogenous interleukin-2 added at the onset of the in vitro CTL-generating cultures partially restored the antiviral response that was decreased by AKR.H-2b spleen cells. Positive and negative cell selection studies and the development of inhibitory cell lines indicated that B lymphocytes and both CD4- CD8+ and CD4+ CD8- T lymphocytes from AKR.H-2b mice could inhibit the generation of AKR/Gross virus-specific CTL in vitro. AKR.H-2b macrophages were shown not to be required to demonstrate AKR/Gross MuLV-specific inhibition, however, confirming that the inhibition by T-cell (or B-cell)-depleted spleen populations was dependent on the enriched B-cell (T-cell) population per se.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Cell surface expression of cytotoxic T lymphocyte-defined, AKR/Gross leukemia virus-associated tumor antigens by normal AKR.H-2b splenic B cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

We previously described a system in which H-2Kb-restricted C57BL/6 (B6) cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) could be raised that were specific for tumors, such as the thymic lymphoma AKR.H-2b SL1, that were induced by endogenous AKR/Gross murine leukemia virus and that expressed the Gross cell surface antigen. In this study, certain normal lymphoid cells from AKR.H-2b mice were also found to express target antigens defined by such anti-AKR/Gross virus CTL. AKR.H-2b spleen, but surprisingly not thymus, cells stimulated the production of anti-AKR/Gross virus CTL when employed at either the in vivo priming phase or the in vitro restimulation phase of anti-viral CTL induction. This selective stimulation by spleen vs thymus cells was not dependent on the age of the mice over the range (3 to 28 wk) tested. Both AKR.H-2b spleen and thymus cells, however, were able to stimulate the generation of H-2-restricted B6 anti-AKR minor histocompatibility (H) antigen-specific CTL. Thus, AKR.H-2b spleen cells appeared to display the same sets (minor H and virus-associated) of cell surface antigens recognized by CTL as the AKR.H-2b SL1 tumor, whereas AKR.H-2b thymocytes were selectively missing the virus-associated target antigens, a situation analogous to that of cl. 18-5, a variant subclone of AKR.H-2b SL1 insusceptible to anti-AKR/Gross virus CTL. Like AKR.H-2b thymocytes, neither AKR spleen cells or thymocytes nor B6.GIX + thymocytes were able to stimulate the generation of anti-AKR/Gross virus CTL from primed B6 responder cell populations. In contrast, both T cell-enriched and B cell-enriched preparations derived from AKR.H-2b spleen cells were able to stimulate at the in vitro phase of induction, although B cell-enriched preparations were considerably more efficient. The discordant results obtained with AKR.H-2b spleen cells vs thymocytes were confirmed and extended in experiments in which these cells were employed as target cells to directly assess the cell surface expression of virus-associated, CTL-defined antigens. Thus, AKR.H-2b spleen cells, but not thymocytes, were recognized by anti-AKR/Gross virus CTL when fresh normal cells were tested as unlabeled competitive inhibitors, or when mitogen blasts were tested as labeled targets. Fresh or lipopolysaccharide-stimulated B cell-enriched spleen cells were as efficiently recognized as unseparated spleen cell preparations. Unexpectedly, fresh or Lens culinaris hemagglutinin-stimulated T cell-enriched spleen cell preparations, although susceptible to anti-minor H CTL, were almost as poor as targets for anti-viral CTL as were thymocytes. Together, these results demonstrate the H-2-restricted expression of CTL-defined, endogenous, AKR/Gross virus-associated target antigens by normal AKR.H-2b splenic B cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

To assess whether the presence of a responder H-2b haplotype would be sufficient to allow mice of nonresponder "high leukemic" phenotype to generate syngeneic anti-AKR/Gross virus cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL), the AKR.H-2b strain was examined. Although capable of mounting vigorous apparent anti-minor histocompatibility-specific CTL responses, AKR.H-2b mice failed to produce anti-viral CTL after a variety of stimulation protocols. In contrast, the "doubly congenic" AKR.H-2b:Fv-1b strain was able to respond with substantial levels of H-2-restricted anti-AKR/Gross virus CTL activity. These results indicated that Fv-1n alleles could exert negative epistatic control over responder H-2b-encoded gene(s). Because the B6.Fv-1n congenic was also able to generate anti-viral CTL indistinguishable from the prototype B6 strain, however, it was apparent that other genes of AKR background were required for the Fv-1n-mediated inhibition in AKR.H-2b mice. The mechanism by which Fv-1 intereacted with other genes to override positive H-2b control appeared to be related to the expression of the CTL-defined, virus-associated antigens by normal AKR.H-2b cells. Thus, AKR.H-2b spleen cells but not thymus cells were able to stimulate the production of B6 anti-AKR/Gross virus CTL and were recognized as target cells by such anti-viral CTL. In contrast, both spleen cells and thymocytes from AKR.H-2b:Fv-1b mice were negative when tested as stimulator or target cells in these assays. In addition, AKR.H-2b but not AKR.H-2b:Fv-1b spleen cells were shown to display serologically defined gp70 determinants and the Gross cell surface antigen. Taking these data together, it appeared that the inhibition of anti-viral CTL responsiveness might be due to tolerance induced by the cell surface expression of virus-associated antigens by normal AKR.H-2b cells. Widespread display of viral antigens, in turn, may have been due to the permissive effects of Fv-1n on the spread of the early arising N-ecotropic, endogenous AKR leukemia virus controlled by other background genes. In this context, the implications of the multi-gene control of anti-AKR/Gross virus CTL production are discussed with respect to the induction of spontaneous leukemia in the high incidence AKR strain. 相似文献

Previously we reported that as AKR.H-2b:Fv-1b mice become older than 9 wk of age they begin to specifically lose the ability to generate anti-AKR/Gross murine leukemia virus (MuLV) CTL responses after immunization and in vitro restimulation with cells expressing AKR/Gross MuLV-encoded Ag. Interestingly, the frequency of virus-specific precursor cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) observed in moderately-aged AKR.H-2b:Fv-1b mice was not substantially decreased from that found in their young responder counterparts. To further investigate the mechanism(s) responsible for the inability of moderately-aged AKR.H-2b:Fv-1b mice to mount AKR/Gross MuLV-specific CTL responses, adoptive transfer experiments were performed in the present study. Transferring splenocytes from moderately-aged AKR.H-2b:Fv-1b donors into young AKR.H-2b:Fv-1b recipients resulted in inhibition of AKR/Gross MuLV-specific CTL responsiveness. Anti-Thy-1.1 plus complement depletion of T cells from the donor cell population before adoptive transfer resulted in a near complete restoration of AKR/Gross MuLV responsiveness of young recipient AKR.H-2b:Fv-1b mice suggesting that the inhibition observed in moderately aged mice was mediated by T lymphocytes. Additional experiments using depletion of T subsets before cell transfer demonstrated that inhibition of AKR/Gross MuLV-specific CTL responsiveness was mediated by a CD4-CD8+ T lymphocyte. 相似文献

As young adult AKR.H-2b:Fv-1b mice reach about 9 wk of age, they begin to develop a nonresponsiveness to AKR/Gross leukemia virus. Unlike young mice that are responders, moderately aged AKR.H-2b:Fv-1b mice, after immunization and secondary in vitro restimulation in bulk culture with AKR/Gross virus induced tumors, can not generate anti-AKR/Gross virus-specific CTL. The mechanism of conversion to nonresponsiveness in moderately aged AKR.H-2b:Fv-1b mice is not understood, but it is correlated with increased expression of endogenous ecotropic viral antigens. Our present investigation focuses on determining the frequency of anti-AKR/Gross virus precursor CTL in AKR.H-2b:Fv-1b mice as a function of age. This was achieved by performing limiting dilution cultures of immune spleen cells obtained from young and moderately aged AKR.H-2b:Fv-1b mice. Although spleen cells obtained from immune moderately aged mice can not differentiate in bulk cultures into anti-AKR/Gross virus-specific CTL, there was no evidence of substantially decreased frequencies of virus-specific precursor CTL, relative to precursor CTL frequencies observed in young responder AKR.H-2b:Fv-1b mice. 相似文献

Induction of anti-AKR/gross virus cytolytic T lymphocytes in AKR.H-2b:Fv-1b congenic mice: age-dependent conversion to a nonresponder phenotype 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Previously, we reported that the generation of cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) specific for syngeneic tumors induced by AKR/Gross leukemia viruses was under multi-gene control. Thus, although carrying the required immune response gene(s) encoded by the H-2b haplotype and characteristic of responder strains such as C57BL/6, AKR.H-2b congenic mice failed to mount antiviral CTL responses. Young adult AKR.H-2b:Fv-1b "doubly congenic" mice, however, were able to generate specific anti-AKR/Gross virus CTL activity. These results demonstrated that the positive effect of MHC-encoded immune response gene control could be overcome by the action of the Fv-1n allele. The responder status of the B6.Fv-1n congenic, however, indicated that this Fv-1n-mediated inhibition was dependent on the interaction of Fv-1n with another gene(s) encoded by the AKR background. The results of experiments performed with AKXL recombinant inbred mice further suggested that a single additional genetic locus, encoding the Akv-1 provirus, was necessary along with Fv-1n to cause inhibition of antiviral CTL generation. Here we show that the responsiveness of AKR.H-2b:Fv-1b mice is dependent on their age. Thus, with moderate aging these doubly congenic mice converted to a nonresponder status with respect to anti-AKR/Gross virus CTL production: 85% of mice less than or equal to 9 wk of age responded compared with 0% of mice greater than 9 wk old. As with nonresponder AKR.H-2b mice, an inverse correlation was observed between CTL responsiveness and the expression of CTL-defined viral antigens by normal cells. Namely, spleen cells from young AKR.H-2b:Fv-1b mice showed little or no expression of such viral antigens, whereas with moderate aging there was a steady increase in their display. These results are discussed with reference to possible mechanisms of unresponsiveness of AKR.H-2b vs moderately aged AKR.H-2b:Fv-1b mice, and with respect to the utility of this system as a model for naturally occurring retrovirus infections and the interactions of retroviruses with the immune system. 相似文献

C57BL/6 mice, after immunization and secondary in vitro restimulation with AKR/Gross murine leukemia virus (MuLV)-induced tumors, generate AKR/Gross MuLV-specific CTL. After similar immunization protocols, AKR-H-2b mice fail to generate CTL specific for AKR/Gross MuLV. The basis for nonresponsiveness in AKR.H-2b mice is unknown, however, unlike C57BL/6 mice, AKR.H-2b mice carry endogenous proviruses and express N-ecotropic viral Ag. Thus, clonal deletion of pCTL populations due to the expression of AKR/Gross MuLV-like Ag is a likely mechanism for the nonresponsiveness. To determine if nonresponsiveness is due to clonal deletion, limiting dilution cultures were performed to assess the presence of pCTL specific for AKR/Gross MuLV. Our study demonstrates that the frequencies of pCTL specific for AKR/Gross MuLV are similar in both the responder C57BL/6 and nonresponder AKR.H-2b strains. The observation that normal levels of AKR/Gross MuLV-specific pCTL exist in AKR.H-2b mice, suggests that clonal deletion of pCTL is not responsible for the inability of AKR.H-2b mice to generate anti-AKR/Gross virus-specific CTL. 相似文献

In previous studies we have characterized H-2-restricted cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) type specific for Gross cell surface antigen-positive tumor cells induced by AKR/Gross leukemia viruses. The generation of such CTL was shown to be controlled by at least three genetic loci including H-2 and Fv-1. The Fv-1n phenotype was able to negate positive immune response gene effects of the H-2b haplotype. Fv-1n-mediated inhibition appeared to operated by allowing the early expression by normal cells of N-ecotropic leukemia virus-related antigens recognized by the antiviral CTL, perhaps via tolerance induction. In the present study, the expression of CTL-defined viral antigens by normal cells is further considered. Possible gene dosage effects by H-2 as well as Fv-1 and the other virus-related (V) genes, including proviral structural loci, were examined by comparison of a panel of congenic and F1 mice. These experiments indicated that the quantitative level of expression of CTL-defined viral antigens was primarily controlled by the Fv-1 genotype. Gene dosage effects were also observed for the V genes and, in some situations, for H-2. The importance of the early display of viral antigens by normal cells was underscored by the inability of those mice to generate specific antiviral CTL responses. Even strains expressing low levels of viral antigens, such as responder X nonresponder (AKR.H-2b:Fv-1b X AKR.H-2b)F1 mice, failed to respond. These results are discussed with respect to the inability of mice of the AKR background to respond with specific antiviral CTL generation and in light of their high incidence of spontaneous leukemia. 相似文献

Mice with the H-2b major histocompatibility complex haplotype are high immune responders to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChR), whereas mice with the H-2k haplotype are generally low responders. F1 progeny of C57BL/6 (H-2b) mice crossed with mice of most H-2k strains are high responders to AChR in standard conditions of testing helper T cell proliferation in vitro (4 X 10(5) lymph node cells/microwell, 1 wk after primary challenge in vivo). In contrast, the F1 progeny of AKR/J (H-2k) crossed with high responder (H-2b) strains (B6, A.BY, or C3H.SW) were all hyporesponsive to AChR when lymphocytes were tested at 4 X 10(5) cells/well. However, at a density of 1 X 10(6) or greater/well, a high level of antigen-specific responsiveness was demonstrable in the F1 hybrid lymphocytes. A shift from low to high responsiveness to AChR at high cell densities was observed also in the H-2b strain AKR.B6. Other strains previously demonstrated to be low responders to AChR did not become responsive to AChR when lymphocyte numbers were increased to 1.4 X 10(6)/well. The N2 generation yielded by backcrossing (AKR X B6)F1 mice to AKR/J were all low responders, whereas N2 progeny derived by backcrossing F1 to B6 were high or low responders in a ratio of approximately 1:1 (independent of their H-2 phenotype). Results consistent with this observation were obtained in (AKR X B6) F2 mice. These data suggest that at least one AKR/J gene outside of the H-2 complex exerts a hyporesponsive influence on the I-A-dependent helper T cell response to AChR in H-2b mice. 相似文献

CD4(+) Th1 responses to virus infections are often necessary for the development and maintenance of virus-specific CD8(+) T-cell responses. However, in the present study with Friend murine retrovirus (FV), the reverse was also found to be true. In the absence of a responder H-2(b) allele at major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II loci, a single H-2D(b) MHC class I allele was sufficient for the development of a CD4(+) Th1 response to FV. This effect of H-2D(b) on CD4(+) T-cell responses was dependent on CD8(+) T cells, as demonstrated by depletion studies. A direct effect of CD8(+) T-cell help in the development of CD4(+) Th1 responses to FV was also shown in vaccine studies. Vaccination of nonresponder H-2(a/a) mice induced FV-specific responses of H-2D(d)-restricted CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Adoptive transfer of vaccine-primed CD8(+) T cells to naive H-2(a/a) mice prior to infection resulted in the generation of FV-specific CD4(+) Th1 responses. This novel helper effect of CD8(+) T cells could be an important mechanism in the development of CD4(+) Th1 responses following vaccinations that induce CD8(+) CTL responses. The ability of MHC class I genes to facilitate CD4(+) Th1 development could also be considerable evolutionary advantage by allowing a wider variety of MHC genotypes to generate protective immune responses against intracellular pathogens. 相似文献

Responder cells, composed of both a limited number of nylon wool-passed lymph node (NW-LN) cells and an excess number of CD3+ cell-depleted bone marrow (CD3- BM) cells from the same strain of mice, were stimulated with allogeneic spleen cells in vitro. The CD3- BM cells augmented the generation of allogeneic major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) from NW-LN cells. C3H/He (H-2k, C3H background) responder cells were stimulated with either B10.D2 (H-2d, B10 background) or BALB/c (H-2d, BALB background) spleen cells. In the former stimulation, the CTL induced lysed B10.D2 target cells more efficiently than the BALB/c cells. Furthermore, these CTL lysed more (B10.D2 x BALB/c) F1 male target cells than (BALB/c x B10.D2) F1 male. In the latter stimulation, the CTL lysed more BALB/c than B10.D2 cells, and more (BALB/c) x B10.D2) F1 male than (B10.D2 x BALB/c) F1 male. The reciprocal mixed lymphocyte cultures (MLC) were carried out, in which BALB/c responder cells were stimulated with either C3H/He or B10.BR (H-2k, B10 background) spleen cells. In the former stimulation, the CTL induced lysed more C3H/He or (C3H/He x B10.BR) F1 male target cells than B10.BR or (B10.BR x C3H/He) F1 male, and in the latter, the reciprocal results were obtained. These results suggested that the CTL induced had a preference for the X-chromosome linked gene products (Xlgp), besides the specificity for the allogeneic MHC class I, of the mice used as stimulator. 相似文献

Circulating autoantibodies against dsDNA and chromatin are a characteristic of systemic lupus erythematosus in humans and many mouse models of this disease. B cells expressing these autoantibodies are normally regulated in nonautoimmune-prone mice but are induced to secrete Abs following T cell help. Likewise, anti-chromatin autoantibody production is T cell-dependent in Fas/Fas ligand (FasL)-deficient (lpr/lpr or gld/gld) mice. In this study, we demonstrate that Th2 cells promote anti-chromatin B cell survival and autoantibody production in vivo. FasL influences the ability of Th2 cells to help B cells, as Th2-gld/gld cells support higher titers of anti-chromatin Abs than their FasL-sufficient counterparts and promote anti-chromatin B cell participation in germinal centers. Th1 cells induce anti-chromatin B cell germinal centers regardless of FasL status; however, their ability to stimulate anti-chromatin Ab production positively correlates with their level of IFN-gamma production. This distinction is lost if FasL-deficient T cells are used: Th1-gld/gld cells promote significant titers of anti-chromatin Abs regardless of IFN-gamma production levels. Thus, FasL from effector T cells plays an important role in determining the fate of anti-chromatin B cells. 相似文献

Dissociation of H-2 recognition by antibody and cytotoxic T cells of a cloned murine leukemia cell line 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The differential expression of H-2 specificities recognized by antibody and by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) has been studied using a clone (FY7) of the C57BL/6 leukemia cell line FBL-3 (H-2b/H-2b). Unlike C57BL/10 spleen cells, EL-4 lymphoma cells and Y57-2C leukemia cells (all H-2b/H-2b), FY7 failed to induce the primary in vitro generation of anti-H-2b CTL by (B10.A x A)F1 (H-2a/H-2a) or B10.D2 x BALB/c)F1 (H-2d/H-2d) responder spleen cells. In addition, FY7 was not lysed by, and did not competitively inhibit anti-H-2b CTL. Quantitative absorption tests with H-2Kb and H-2Db antisera revealed that FY7 expressed these antigens in quantitatively similar amounts to EL-4. The H-2Kb product of FY7 appeared to be identical with that of C57BL/10 spleen cells both in apparent molecular weight and isoelectric point. Yet FY7 failed to inhibit anti-H-2Kb CTL competitively in a cold target inhibition assay. Possible mechanisms are discussed for the lack of T-lymphocyte recognition of the H-2Kb-gene product expressed by FY7. 相似文献

Failure or success in the restoration of virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte response defects by dendritic cells 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

C57BL/6 (B6, H-2b) mice are CTL responders to both Sendai virus and Moloney leukemia virus. In the former response the H-2Kb class I MHC molecule is used as CTL restriction element, in the latter response the H-2Db molecule. B6 dendritic cells (DC) are superior in the presentation of Sendai virus Ag to CTL in comparison with B6 normal spleen cells. Con A blasts have even less capacity to present viral Ag than NSC, and LPS blasts show an intermediate capacity to present viral Ag. H-2Kb mutant bm1 mice do not generate a CTL response to Sendai virus, but respond to Moloney leukemia virus, as demonstrated by undetectable CTL precursors to Sendai virus and a normal CTL precursor frequency to Moloney virus. Compared to B6 mice, other H-2Kb mutant mice show decreased Sendai virus-specific CTL precursor frequencies in a hierarchy reflecting the response in bulk culture. The Sendai virus-specific CTL response defect of bm1 mice was not restored by highly potent Sendai virus-infected DC as APC for in vivo priming and/or in vitro restimulation. In mirror image to H-2Kb mutant bm1 mice, H-2Db mutant bm14 mice do not generate a CTL response to Moloney virus, but respond normally to Sendai virus. This specific CTL response defect was restored by syngeneic Moloney virus-infected DC for in vitro restimulation. This response was Kb restricted indicating that the Dbm14 molecule remained largely defective and that a dormant Kb repertoire was aroused after optimal Ag presentation by DC. In conclusion, DC very effectively present viral Ag to CTL. However, their capacity to restore MHC class I determined specific CTL response defects probably requires at least some ability of a particular MHC class I/virus combination to associate and thus form an immunogenic complex. 相似文献

Fas/Fas ligand (FasL) interactions regulate disease outcome in coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-induced myocarditis. MRL(+/+) mice infected with CVB3 develop severe myocarditis, a dominant CD4(+) Th1 (gamma interferon [IFN-gamma(+)]) response to the virus, and a predominance of gammadelta T cells in the myocardial infiltrates. MRL lpr/lpr and MRL gld/gld mice, which lack normal expression of Fas and express a mutated FasL, respectively, have minimal myocarditis and show a dominant CD4(+) Th2 (interleukin-4 [IL-4(+)]) phenotype to CVB3. Spleen cells from virus-infected wild-type, lpr, and gld animals proliferate equally to virus in vitro. Adoptive transfer of gammadelta T cells from hearts of CVB3-infected MRL(+/+) mice (FasL(+)) into infected MRL gld/gld recipients (FasL(-)/Fas(+)) restores both disease susceptibility and Th1 cell phenotype. However, transfer of these cells into MRL lpr/lpr recipients (FasL(+)/Fas(-)) did not promote myocarditis and the viral response remained Th2 biased. This paralleled the expression of very high surface levels of FasL by myocardial gammadelta T cells, as well as their propensity to selectively lyse Th2 virus-specific CD4(+) T cells. These results demonstrate that Fas/FasL interactions conferred by gammadelta T cells on lymphocyte subpopulations may regulate the cytokine response to CVB3 infection and pathogenicity. 相似文献

Resistance to cell-mediated cytotoxicity is correlated with reduction of H-2K gene products in AKR leukemia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
AKR leukemia cell lines differing in the amount of H-2K and H-2D antigens expressed on the cell surface were used to assess cell-mediated immune responses in syngeneic mice against Gross/AKR murine leukemia virus (MuLV)-induced tumors. Leukemic cells with reduced expression of H-2Kk antigens were inactive as inducers of Gross-MuLV/H-2k-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and resistant to lysis by CTL raised against H-2Kk positive AKR leukemia cells. H-2Kk positive leukemias induced cytotoxic effectors, which upon restimulation in vitro, lysed the stimulating and other H-2Kk positive leukemia cells. In antibody inhibition experiments, T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity to these leukemias could only be inhibited by antisera and monoclonal antibodies specific for the H-2Kk antigens. Due to this specific role of H-2Kk antigens in T-cell cytotoxicity to Gross/AKR MuLV-induced tumors, reduced expression of H-2Kk antigens on spontaneous AKR leukemic cells could have important implications for surveillance of these neoplastic cells.Abbreviations used in this paper CTL

Priming C57BL/6 mice with dominant antigenic peptides of ovalbumin (OVA) or bovine insulin (INS) in complete Freund's adjuvant generates antigen-specific, H-2K(b)-restricted, CD8(+) CTL. OVA-CTL produced type 1 cytokines IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha, whereas INS-CTL produced IL-5 and IL-10 with low levels of IL-4 and IFN-gamma. Here, we investigate whether differential binding affinities of the OVA and INS peptides to H-2K(b) influence the phenotype of the CD8(+) CTL. OVA(257-264) was found to have significantly higher binding affinity than the INS A-chain(12-21) toward K(b). Exchanging the MHC anchor residues between the OVA and INS peptides reversed the K(b) binding capacity of the altered peptides. The lower affinity, altered OVA peptides induced CTL that produced IL-5 and IL-10 in addition to IFN-gamma, whereas high binding affinity, altered INS peptides induced CTL that produced IFN-gamma but not IL-5 or IL-10. These data suggest that MHC binding affinity of peptides can regulate the phenotype of the resulting CD8(+) T cells. 相似文献

Modification of tumor cells with Fas (CD95) antigen gene and Fas ligand (CD95L) gene transfection by electroporation for immunotherapy of cancer 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Electroporation is a method for introducing DNA into cells by using a high-voltage electric field. This method is very simple
and easily manipulated. We describe here a method for the modification of tumor cells with the Fas/Apo-1 (CD95) antigen-gene
and Fas ligand (FasL)-gene transfection through the use of electroporation, and suggest that the Fas-FasL system is a good
target for the induction of apoptosis-mediated antitumor activity. The Fas receptor/ligand system induces apoptosis and plays
an important role in regulation of the immune system. In the method described, hepatoma MH134 (Fas− and FasL−) is transfected with murine Fas and FasL cDNA. A single administration of monoclonal anti-Fas antibody efficiently suppresses
the growth of F6b (MH134+Neo+Fas) tumors but not that of N1d (MH134+Neo) tumors in gld/gld lpr/lpr mice. MH134+Neo+FasL tumor cells were rejected after the induction of inflammation with infiltration of neutrophils in mice.
These results suggest that electroporation and Fas-mediated apoptosis are a good method for inducing of antitumor activity. 相似文献

IFN-gamma promotes Fas ligand- and perforin-mediated liver cell destruction by cytotoxic CD8 T cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
To study liver cell damage by CTL, CD8 T cells from P14 TCR transgenic (tg) mice specific for the gp33 epitope of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus with either deficiency in IFN-gamma (P14.IFN-gamma(null)), functional Fas ligand (P14.gld), or perforin (P14.PKO) were transferred into H8 tg mice ubiquitously expressing gp33 Ag. Treatment of H8 recipient mice with agonistic anti-CD40 Abs induced vigorous expansion of the transferred P14 T cells and led to liver cell destruction determined by increase of glutamate dehydrogenase serum levels and induction of caspase-3 in hepatocytes. Liver injury was mediated by the Fas/Fas ligand (FasL) pathway and by perforin, because P14.gld and P14.PKO T cells failed to induce increased glutamate dehydrogenase levels despite strong in vivo proliferation. In addition, H8 tg mice lacking Fas were resistant to the pathogenic effect of P14 T cells. Besides FasL and perforin, IFN-gamma was also required for liver cell damage, because P14.IFN-gamma(null) T cells adoptively transferred into H8 mice failed to induce disease. Moreover, Fas expression on hepatocytes from H8 recipient mice was increased after transfer of wild-type compared with P14.IFN-gamma(null) T cells, and wild-type P14 T cells expressed higher levels of FasL than P14 T cells lacking IFN-gamma. Thus, our data suggest that IFN-gamma released by activated CD8 T cells upon Ag contact facilitates liver cell destruction. 相似文献
