A sensitive limiting dilution microculture system was used to obtain minimal estimates of the frequency of cytolytic T lymphocyte precursor cells (CTL-P) directed against DBA/2 alloantigens, after priming of spleen cells in unidirectional mixed leukocyte cultures (MLC, C57BL/6 anti-DBA/2). The mean CTL-P frequency in day 4 to 5 MLC populations was found to be approximately 50- to 100-fold greater than the frequency in normal spleen, and up to 25% of the cells present in such MLC could be identified operationally as CTL-P. Even higher frequencies (up to 50%) of CTL-P were obtained in a population of large-sized cells separated from day 4 MLC by velocity sedimentation. Furthermore, since a strikingly quantitative correlation was observed between CTL activity and CTL-P frequency in such separated MLC populations, it is likely that mature CTL in MLC are not end cells, but can further proliferate and thus behave operationally as CTL-P. 相似文献

Frequency and cross-reactivity od cytolytic T lymphocyte precursors reacting against male alloantigens 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

It is well established that cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) specific for the male minor histocompatibility antigen (H-Y) are generated by restimulation in vitro of in vivo primed spleen cells from C57BL/6 (H-2b) female mice with syngeneic male spleen cells. When tested on target cells from H-2 different strains, the male-specific C57BL/6 CTL populations exhibited significant lysis of DBA/2 (H-2d), A (H-2a), but not C3H (H-2k), male and female target cells. In an attempt to document this cross-reactivity further at the clonal level, a sensitive technique of limiting dilution analysis was used to determine the specificity of C57BL/6 individual CTL precursors (CTL-P) reactive against the male antigen. The mean frequency of anti-H-Y CTL-P in spleens of primed female mice was about 1/3500. Between one-third to one-tenth of these CTL-P produced a progeny that cross-reacted with H-2d (allogeneic) female target cells. These findings were confirmed by the analysis of the reactivity pattern exhibited by male-specific CTL clones derived by limiting dilution. Of 99 clones tested, 13 were found to cross-react with female DBA/2 target cells. These results thus indicate that a relatively large proportion (greater than 10%) of H-2b CTL-P directed against the H-Y antigen cross-react with target cells expressing H-2d alloantigens in the absence of H-Y antigen. 相似文献

The conditions for generation of simultaneous and independent cytotoxic lymphocyte (CL) responses to each of two sets of alloantigens of limited cross-reactivity by mouse spleen cells in vitro have been investigated. Responder spleen cells were incubated with mitomycin C-treated C57BL/6 (H-2b) or DBA/2 (H-2d) stimulator spleen cells and day 5 CL responses were assayed with 51Cr-labeled EL-4 leukemia (H-2b) and P815 mastocytoma (H-2d) as target cells. Spleen cells from mice of the various H-2 haplotypes tested differed greatly in their ability to develop specific CL responses against alloantigens on the stimulator spleen cells and in the degree of cross-reactive cytotoxic activity against target cells bearing alloantigens not present on the stimulator spleen cells. In contrast to the other strains examined, DBA/1 (H-2q) spleen cells developed specific CL responses to either H-2b or H-2d alloantigens without exhibiting significant cross-reactive activity on the inappropriate target cell. The CL responses to H-2b and H-2d alloantigens by DBA/1 spleen cells were comparable in magnitude and had similar stimulator cell-dose requirements. Further, DBA/1 spleen cells developed CL responses of normal magnitude simultaneously against both target cells when incubated with both mitomycin C-treated C57BL/6 and DBA/2 stimulator cells. 相似文献

Previously we have shown that mitomycin-treated P-815 (H-2d) cells (P-815m) inhibit the in vitro response of C57BL/6 spleen cells to mitogens and DBA/2 alloantigens. The present data indicate that P-815m cells also inhibit the response of C57BL/6 spleen cells to AKR (H-2k)-stimulating cells and that the inhibition does not appear to be the result of crowding. Subpopulations of spleen cells obtained by density gradient centrifucation or after renoval of glass-adherent cells are all sensitive to the inhibitory effects of P-815m. We also show that P-815m cells appears to operate both in vitro and in vivo. The experiments characterize the suppression of MLC reactivity by cell-free preparations of sonicated P-815 mastocytoma cells. The results suggest that the inhibition is not removed by ultracentrifugation, ultra-violet irradiation, or dialysis of the sonicate. P-815 sonicates subjected to chloroform extraction, heating at 56 degrees C, 0.1 mu filtration, or treatment with anit-minute virus of mice serum are still inhibitory. This inhibition is resistant to RNAase treatment but destroyed by pronase. P-815 sonicate suppresses the response of C57BL/6 spleen cells to both DBA/2 and AKR-stimulating spleen. Inhibition of MLC reactivity is only seen if P-815 sonicate is added within the first 48 hr after the initiation of culture. These results indicate that the inhibition of MLC by sonicates of P-815 cells is due to a nondialyzable protein whose effects are not H-2 restricted and are acting on the early phase of sensitization. 相似文献

Spleen cells harvested from mixed leukocyte cultures (MLC) on day 2 or 3 suppress the development of CL from a fresh MLC across a cell-impermeable membrane, but day 4 MLC cells which have the maximum level of CL showed only a limited effect. Inhibition was observed only when suppressor cells were restimulated with the same H-2 type cells used during induction. However, the suppressive effect was not strain specific; that is, CBA-induced C57BL/6 spleen cells effectively inhibited the development of CL from DBA/2-induced C57BL/6 cells. In addition, DBA/2-induced C57BL/6 spleen cells effectively inhibited the development of CL from CBA cells. B10 spleen cells stimulated by B10.D2 cells gave rise to a suppressor cell population, indicating that H-2 differences alone can induce the response. The suppressive effect seemed to be exerted on an early phase of the response since no detectable inhibition was observed when suppressor cells were added 48 hr after culture initiation. The suppressive effect is not exerted on the accessory cell function but seems to inhibit DNA synthesis of the reacting cells in the MLC. 相似文献

Generation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes in vitro. VII. Suppressive effect of irradiated MLC cells on CTL response. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Irradiated cells obtained from MLC at the peak of the CTL response caused profound suppression of generation of CTL when added in small numbers at the initiation of primary MLC prepared with normal spleen cells. The inhibitory activity of the MLC cells was not affected by irradiation (1000 rads) but was abolished by treatment with anti-theta serum and complement. The suppression was immunologically specific. The response of A (H-2a) spleen cells toward C3H (H-2k) alloantigens was suppressed by irradiated MLC cells obtained from MLC prepared with A spleen cells and irradiated C3H-stimulating cells, whereas the response of A spleen cells toward DBA/2 (H-2d) alloantigens was affected relatively little. However, if irradiated C3H X DBA/2 F1 hybrid spleen cells were used to stimulate A spleen cells in MLC, addition of irradiated MLC cells having cytotoxic activity toward C3H antigens abolished the response to both C3H and DBA/2 antigens. The response to DBA/2 antigens was much less affected when a mixture of irradiated C3H and DBA/2 spleen cells was used as stimulating cells. Thus, the presence of MLC cells having cytotoxic activity toward one alloantigen abolished the response to another non-cross reacting antigen only when both antigens were present on the same F1 hybrid-stimulating cells. This suppression of generation of CTL by irradiated MLC cells apparently involves inactivation of alloantigen-bearing stimulating cells as a result of residual cytotoxic activity of the irradiated MLC cells. This mechanism may be active during the decline in CTL activity noted in the normal immune response in vivo and in vitro. 相似文献

Transplantation antigen expression on murine trophoblast detection by induction of specific alloimmunity 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Cell-mediated immune responses to murine embryonic trophoblast cells were investigated using lymphocyte trophoblast cultures (LTC) and cell-mediated lympholysis (CML). Spleen cells from CBA (H-2k) or C57BL/6 (H-2b) mice hyperimmunized with 3.5-day-old Balb/c (H-2d) blastocysts did not undergo DNA synthesis after in vitro exposure to Balb/c blastocyst outgrowths nor were cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTL) generated against H-2d alloantigens. Splenocytes from Balb/c mice presensitized with semiallogeneic (Balb/c female × C57BL/6 male) trophoblast cells derived from 17- to 20-day placental tissue expressed a weak proliferative response in the presence of semiallogeneic placental trophoblast and produced a moderate number of CTL against H-2b (paternal strain) alloantigens when compared to mixed lymphocyte cultures (MLC) between Balb/c responder and semiallogeneic (stimulator) spleen cells. CTL were also generated in vitro after splenocytes from Balb/c mice hyperimmunized with semiallogeneic spleen cells were restimulated in vitro with placental trophoblast cells. These studies showing that early-stage trophoblast cells fail to evoke transplantation immunity and placental trophoblast is capable of generating alloimmunity only after combined in vivo hyperimmunization with in vitro restimulation suggest that these trophoblast cells are poorly immunogenic due in part to the relatively weak functional expression of major transplantation antigens. 相似文献

Hybrid cell lines were established from fusions between lipopolysaccharide- (LPS) stimulated C57BL/6J spleen cells and MPC-11 tumor cells (45.6TG1.7, abbreviated M45), and were tested for their ability to immunize semiallogeneic mice against a parental tumor challenge. These hybrids were tumorigenic in syngeneic (BALB/c X C57BL/6J) F1 (CB6F1) mice but did not grow in semiallogeneic (BALB/c X A/J) F1 (CAF1) mice. All hybrids express both parental major histocompatibility antigens (H-2b and H-2d) as detected by indirect immunofluorescence and by their ability to function as either stimulators or targets for allogeneic cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTL). M45 tumor-associated antigens (TAA) were expressed on the hybrid surface as shown by their ability to act as either stimulators or targets for syngeneic CTL specific for M45 TAA. Immunization of semiallogeneic CAF1 mice with the hybrids i.p. followed by a challenge with M45 tumor cells resulted in extended survival when compared to untreated mice or animals immunized i.p. with M45 tumor cells. This immunity was specific and was not due to an allogeneic effect; immunization with an unrelated H-2bd tumor, 70Z/3, or H-2bd B6D2F1 spleen cells or with semiallogeneic spleen cells plus M45 did not protect mice from M45 challenge. Interestingly, prophylactic priming with semiallogeneic hybrid tumor cells or parental myeloma cells led to M45-specific CTL and "help" for an in vitro CTL response; however, the degree of CTL priming by hybrid tumors was not augmented when compared to the level of CTL achieved with parental tumor alone. Hence, stimulation of CTL activity per se by hybrid tumor cells cannot explain the protective effect of hybrid tumor immunization. These studies nevertheless confirm that semiallogeneic hybrids, which we show express TAA and alloantigens, can be used to immunize mice against a lethal syngeneic myeloma tumor challenge. 相似文献

Proliferative and cytotoxic immune functions in aging mice. II. Decreased generation of specific suppressor cells in alloreactive cultures 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
S R Gottesman R L Walford G J Thorbecke 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1984,133(4):1782-1787
The ability of spleen cells from aged C57BL/6 mice to generate specific suppressor cells in mixed lymphocyte cultures (MLC) against allogeneic H-2 antigens was investigated. The suppressor cells from young and old mice were assayed in parallel for their ability to inhibit the proliferative response and the generation of cytotoxicity in fresh MLC. Suppressor cell generation was found to be significantly decreased in 41% of aged mice (23 to 28 mo) as compared to young controls (3-8 mo). The suppressor cells were H-2-specific, radiation-resistant (1000 R), and Thy-1+; they did not function by lysing the fresh stimulators or responder cells, or by absorbing the interleukin 2 in the fresh cultures. Suppression required very small numbers of cells to be effective. It was concluded that the effect of aging was less marked on specific suppressor cell generation than on generation of cytotoxic T cells in the MLC. However, a third type of response studied, the proliferative response, was affected earliest and most severely. 相似文献

Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activity directed against paternal alloantigen was examined in allogeneically pregnant mice using various allogeneic combinations. The spleen cells from pregnant C57BL/6 (H-2b) mice mated with BALB/c (H-2d) male mice generated less anti-H-2d CTL after in vitro sensitization than those from unpregnant or syngeneically mated C57BL/6 mice. Different allogeneic combinations including the incompatibility at only D region of H-2 or minor histocompatibility loci were effective for downregulating the anti-paternal CTL activity in pregnancy. The downregulation of anti-paternal CTL activity induced by allogeneic pregnancy occurred at day 10 to day 18 of pregnancy, most extensively at day 14. The allogeneic pregnancy also downregulated the allogeneic CTL activities that had been amplified by injecting alloantigens before mating. 相似文献

Reexposure of day 14 murine mixed leukocyte culture (MLC) populations to the original irradiated allogeneic stimulating spleen cells has previously been found to result in the ratpid generation of cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) associated with a net increase in cultured cell number. Under the experimental conditions used, day 5 MLC cells appeared unable to respond to the allogeneic stimulus. In order to characterize further the development of the potential for anamnestic reactivity during the course of MLC, C57BL/6 spleen cells were incubated with irradiated (1000 rads) DBA/2 spleen cells (primary MLC) for up to 3 weeks. At various time intervals after the onset of the primary MLC, the surviving cells were collected and reexposed, at varying cell concentrations, to irradiated DBA/2 spleen cells (secondary MLC). At daily intervals thereafter, CTL activity was assessed using a quantitative 51Cr-release assay system. A paradoxic effect of responding cell concentration on generation of CTL activity was observed; relatively greater increase in CTL activity was observed as the concentration of responding cells was decreased over a 100-fold range. This effect was more pronounced with responding cells reexposed to antigen after primary MLC for 20 days, but was observed even with normal cells. The apparent unresponsiveness of day 5 MLC cells to alloantigen restimulation could be overcome by simple dilution of responding cells. Cytotoxic activity at the time of restimulation with antigen seems to be a major factor determining the magnitude of the secondary response. Since intact cells bearing alloantigens are required for the generation of CTL in MLC, residual cytotoxic cells reduce the effective antigenic stimulus by destroying stimulating cells. This effect of concentration of responding cells on generation of CTL in MLC complicates interpretation of experiments investigating the role of "inhibitor" and "helper" cell in cell-mediated immune responses occurring in vitro. Under optimal conditions, the highest CTL activity and the largest increase in total cell number was observed 4 days after restimulation of day 10 MLC cells. On a per cell basis, the lytic activity was up to 4 times greater than that observed at the peak of a primary response, and the number of viable cells recovered was nearly 20 times higher than that at the onset. Such secondary MLC are thus a convenient source of lymphoid cells selected primarily on the basis of proliferation induced by alloantigens. 相似文献

A supernatant from human mixed leukocyte cultures (MLC), Xenogeneic Reconstitution Factor (XRF), was added to one-way murine MLC. This supernatant greatly enhances the generation of cytotoxic cells from C57BL/6 or DBA/2 responder thymocytes, as assayed by a standard 51Cr-release assay. This enhancement is shown 1) to be dependent upon the presence of BDF1 semi-allogeneic stimulator cells and 2) to result in the generation of cytotoxic cells that are specific for the H-2 type of the stimulating alloantigen. In some experiments, alloantigen-stimulated murine spleen cells, when cultured with XRF showed increased induction of cell-mediated cytotoxicity. These experiments show that XRF contains a cytotoxic-cell activating factor(s) that is functionally similar to those found in murine-derived supernatants, and that this factor can participate in the generation of cytotoxic cells from precursors present in the murine thymus. 相似文献

Skin but not vascularized cardiac allografts from B6.H-2bm12 mice are acutely rejected by C57BL/6 recipients in response to the single class II MHC disparity. The underlying mechanisms preventing acute rejection of B6.H-2bm12 heart allografts by C57BL/6 recipients were investigated. B6.H-2bm12 heart allografts induced low levels of alloreactive effector T cell priming in C57BL/6 recipients, and this priming was accompanied by low-level cellular infiltration into the allograft that quickly resolved. Recipients with long-term-surviving heart allografts were unable to reject B6.H-2bm12 skin allografts, suggesting potential down-regulatory mechanisms induced by the cardiac allografts. Depletion of CD25+ cells from C57BL/6 recipients resulted in 15-fold increases in alloreactive T cell priming and in acute rejection of B6.H-2bm12 heart grafts. Similarly, reconstitution of B6.Rag(-/-) recipients with wild-type C57BL/6 splenocytes resulted in acute rejection of B6.H-2bm12 heart grafts only if CD25+ cells were depleted. These results indicate that acute rejection of single class II MHC-disparate B6.H-2bm12 heart allografts by C57BL/6 recipients is inhibited by the emergence of CD25+ regulatory cells that restrict the clonal expansion of alloreactive T cells. 相似文献

Cellular and antigenic requirements for production of mixed leukocyte reaction suppressor factor 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
When murine spleen cells, alloantigen-sensitized previously in vivo, are incubated with spleen cells bearing the sensitizing alloantigens, a supernatant factor is produced that inhibits 3H-thymidine incorporation by responding lymphocytes in the mixed leukocyte reaction. This study evaluates the cellular and antigenic requirements during restimulation for elaboration of this suppressor factor, MLR-TsF. BALB/c spleen cells, sensitized to C57BL/6 (B6) alloantigens in vivo, produced MLR-TsF when cultured with B6 spleen cells in vitro, despite depletion of Sephadex G-10-adherent cells from factor-producing cells, stimulator cells, or from both populations. T cells were not required within the stimulating population, but a requirement for viable stimulator cells was demonstrated when heat-killed or glutaraldehyde-fixed stimulator cells failed to induce MLR-TsF production. The alloantigenic requirements for MLR-TsF production were addressed by 2 approaches. Treatment of stimulator cells with appropriate anti-I region antisera and complement did not affect MLR-TsF production, demonstrating that an absolute requirement for cells expressing I region determinants did not exist. However, spleen cells primed against entire H-2 haplotype differences produced significant quantities of MLR-TsF when they were restimulated with spleen cells homologous to the priming cells in only the I region, in the K and D regions, or in the D region alone. The additive nature of subregion-specific restimulation suggests that distinct subpopulations of K, I, and D region-specific MLR-Ts comprise the MLR-Ts population primed to entire H-2 haplotype differences. 相似文献

The phenotypic and functional properties of cells in the C57BL/6 mouse thymus regenerating after a single dose of 100 mg/kg hydrocortisone acetate (H/C) are described. Functionally, the frequency of anti-H-2d cytolytic T lymphocyte precursors (CTL-P) in thymuses from individual mice was determined by limit dilution analysis of mixed leukocyte microcultures. The initial increase in CTL-P frequency, seen 48 hr post-H/C, was followed at 6 to 8 days by a phase of rapid decrease. The CTL-P frequency returned to a normal level by 28 days post-H/C. Analysis of the results from individual mice suggested that changes in total thymic CTL-P content were independent of the kinetics of thymus regeneration. Phenotypically, whereas the thymus 48 hr after H/C was considerably depleted of Lyt-2+ cells, there followed a rapid increase in the proportion of such cells to normal levels by 14 days post-H/C. In addition, as measured by FLS, a subpopulation of larger, predominantly Lyt-2+ cells was found during the phase of rapid thymic regeneration. With the use of a monoclonal anti-Thy-1.2 antibody, the weakly Thy-1-staining subpopulation of cells was absent from the thymus at 14 days post-H/C. These changes in the phenotypic properties of the post-H/C regenerating thymus were correlated with changes in their functional properties. 相似文献

Although it is well known that an H-2-restricted cytotoxic T cell response to minor histocompatibility antigens (MIHA) can be primed in vivo with H-2 disparate spleen cells, it has not been previously possible to induce cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) precursors (CTLp) in vitro by this type of challenge. In this work, we demonstrate that the inability to cross challenge in vitro is due to the existence of inhibitory effects that can be obviated by cell fractionation, and to insufficient priming in vivo. BALB/c CTLp (H-2d) that have been repeatedly primed in vivo with B10.D2 can be challenged in vitro with C57BL10/J (H-2b) or B10.BR (H-2k)-adherent cells to generate CTL able to lyse B10.D2 (H-2d) target cells. The H-2 restriction properties of the cross-challenged CTL specific for MIHA were analyzed by using the technique of cold target competition. Within the limits of detection in bulk cultures, the entire response appeared to be H-2 unrestricted, whether the cross challenge was with intact C57BL10/J-adherent cells, or with membrane fragments of C57BL10/J presented by BALB/c adherent cells. The frequency of CTLp responsive to cross challenge was analyzed by limiting dilution, with cold target competition at each cell number to establish the restriction properties of the MIHA-specific CTL induced. We were able to detect two subsets of H-2-unrestricted CTLp responsive to intact C57BL10/J-adherent cells; one present at high frequency (1/250 T cells) and subject to suppressive effects at high cell number, and a second present at lower frequency (1/9800 T cells). There appeared to be a relatively infrequent subset of H-2-restricted CTLp as well (1/52,500 T cells). The frequency of CTLp responsive to cross challenge is of comparable magnitude to the frequency of H-2-restricted CTLp responsive to H-2-matched cells bearing MIHA. These observations are discussed in relationship to immunodominance and clonal dominance effects in the response to MIHA. 相似文献

Abnormal thymocyte development and production of autoreactive T cells in T cell receptor transgenic autoimmune mice. 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Development of a C57BL/6-+/+ TCR transgenic mouse containing the rearranged TCR alpha- and beta-chain specific for the Db + HY male Ag results in production of a nearly monoclonal population of early thymocytes expressing the Db + HY reactive TCR. These thymocytes are autoreactive in H-2Db male mice and undergo clonal deletion and down-regulation of CD8. To study the effect of the lpr gene on development of autoreactive T cells, these transgenic mice were backcrossed with C57BL/6-lpr/lpr mice. T cell populations in the thymus and spleen were analyzed by three-color flow cytometry for expression of CD4, CD8, and TCR. The thymus of TCR transgenic H-2b/b lpr/lpr male mice had an increase in percent and absolute number of CD8dull thymocytes compared to TCR transgenic H-2b/b +/+ male mice. However, there was not a complete defect in clonal deletion, because clonal deletion and down-regulation of CD8 was apparent in both +/+ and lpr/lpr H-2Db HY+ male mice compared to H-2Db HY- female mice. The phenotype of splenic T cells was almost identical in TCR transgenic +/+ and lpr/lpr males with about 50% CD4-CD8- T cells and 50% CD8+ T cells. However, there was a dramatic increase in the SMLR proliferative response of splenic T cells from TCR transgenic lpr/lpr males compared to TCR transgenic +/+ males. To determine the specificity of this response, spleen cells from TCR transgenic lpr/lpr and +/+ mice were cultured with irradiated H-2b/b and H-2k/k male and female spleen cells. T cells from TCR transgenic C57BL/6-lpr/lpr male mice had an increased proliferative response to H-2b/b male spleen cells compared to T cells from TCR transgenic C57BL/6(-)+/+ male mice, but both lpr/lpr and +/+ mice had a minimal response to irradiated H-2b/b female or H-2k/k male or female stimulator cells. The splenic T cells from TCR transgenic lpr/lpr mice also had an increased specific cytotoxic activity against H-2b/b male target cells compared to TCR transgenic +/+ mice. These results demonstrate that there is a defect in negative selection of self-reactive T cells in the thymus of lpr/lpr mice and a defect in induction or maintenance of clonal anergy of self-reactive T cells in the periphery of lpr/lpr mice. 相似文献

Cytotoxic T cell responses in HLA-A2.1 transgenic mice. Recognition of HLA alloantigens and utilization of HLA-A2.1 as a restriction element 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Previous studies have indicated that the frequency of murine CTL precursors (CTLp) for human class I molecules is one to two orders of magnitude lower than that for murine class I alloantigens, and that this is due to species-specific structural differences between these molecules. Transgenic mice expressing the human class I MHC Ag HLA-A2.1 were used to examine changes in the frequency of class I HLA-specific precursors after T cell differentiation in an HLA-A2.1 positive environment. The HLA-A2.1 gene product was expressed at levels comparable to those of the endogenous H-2Db molecule in thymus, bone marrow, and spleen. By limiting dilution analysis, it was observed that the frequencies of CTLp in transgenic mice responding to the human alloantigens HLA-B7 or HLA-A2.2 were comparable to or lower than those in normal C57BL/6 mice, regardless of whether the Ag was presented on human or murine cells. Thus, expression of a human class I molecule in these animals did not result in an expansion of the number of CTLp specific for other human class I Ag. In addition, the frequency of HLA-A2.1-restricted, influenza specific CTLp was substantially lower than the frequency of H-2b restricted CTLp, indicating a poor utilization of HLA-A2.1 as a restricting element. Finally, the frequencies of CTLp for HLA-A2.1 expressed on syngeneic murine tumor cells were decreased significantly. Thus, expression of HLA-A2.1 in these animals appeared to induced tolerance to this Ag. Interestingly, however, these mice were not tolerant to the HLA-A2.1 molecule expressed on human cells. This indicates that the HLA-A2.1 associated epitopes expressed on murine and human cells differ and suggests that, under these circumstances, HLA-A2.1 acts as a restricting element for human nominal Ag. These results are discussed in the context of current models of T cell repertoire development. 相似文献

Spleen cells from an SJL mouse immunized with B10.S spleen cells were fused with the nonsecretor myeloma line NS.1. One established hybrid cell line continuously secreted antibody that recognized a new antigenic specificity, tentatively called "Ly-m11." This newly found antigen is detectable on nearly 100 percent of spleen and lymph-node cells, 70 percent of bone-marrow cells, and 20 percent of thymus cells by direct cytotoxicity assays, and on the cells derived from kidney and liver. Strains that are Ly-m11 (+) include C57BL/6, C57BL/10J, B10.S, C57BR/cdJ, C57L/J, and C57BL/KsJ. Other mouse strains so far tested are Ly-m11 (-). The strain distribution pattern distinguished Ly-m11 from any known murine lymphocyte alloantigens, but it follows the H-3 alpha haplotype which is defined by skin transplantation. Linkage tests of nine congenic strains of H-3 and/or H-13/alpha loci and five recombinant inbred lines including CXB, BXH, AKXL, SWXL, and BXD revealed no recombinations between H-3 and Ly-m11 loci on chromosome 2. This newly discovered Ly-m11 alloantigen could itself constitute a minor histocompatibility antigen detectable by serological means. 相似文献

C57BL/6 (B6) mice were i.v. presensitized with class I H-2-disparate B6-C-H-2bm1 (bm1) spleen cells. Such presensitization resulted in almost complete abrogation of bm1-specific Lyt-2+ T cell-mediated proliferative and IL-2-producing capacities as measured by MLC of lymphoid cells from presensitized B6 mice with stimulating bm1 cells. In contrast, comparable magnitude of CTL responses was generated in bulk cultures from presensitized B6 lymphoid cells to that obtained in unpresensitized B6 responding cultures. These differential influences of Lyt-2+ T cell functions were also demonstrated by limiting dilution assays; frequencies of proliferative and IL-2-producing T cell precursors were as low as undetectable in presensitized B6 lymphoid cells, whereas an appreciable frequency of CTL precursors in a portion of the same lymphoid cells was observed. When bm1 skin grafting was performed in B6 mice i.v. presensitized with bm1 cells, the strikingly prolonged survival of bm1 skin grafts was observed. It was also demonstrated that the bm1 skin graft-bearing B6 mice which had been presensitized with bm1 cells not only exhibited a continuing suppressive state of bm1-specific helper (proliferative and IL-2-producing) function but also failed to generate anti-bm1 CTL responses. These results indicate that 1) i.v. presensitization with class I H-2 alloantigens results in selective tolerance of Lyt-2+ Th cells which is adequate for inducing prolonged graft survival, 2) the induction of complete abrogation of CTL potential is not absolute requirement for the prolongation of graft survival, and 3) residual CTL potential is attenuated after grafting so far as Th cells are rendered tolerant. 相似文献
