Serologically active preparations of soluble H-2 antigens were obtained by 3 M KCl extraction from the ascitic cells of leukemia L 1210 (H-2d) and sarcoma MX-11 (H-2b). These preparations had no specific influence in vitro on the cytotoxic effect of immune lymphocytes on target cells, and did not inhibit the lymphocyte adsorption on the monolayer of the corresponding target cells.  相似文献

Two non-overlapping populations of alloimmune cytotoxic T cells with specificity for tumor-associated antigens (TAA) and for histocompatibility antigens (H-2) were characterized by two independent methods. The heterogeneity of cytotoxic cells was demonstrated in spleen cells derived from BALB/c (H-2d) mice sensitized to EL-4 (H-2b) tumor and from C57BL/6 (H-2b) mice sensitized to G-35 (H-2d) tumor cells. Adsorption of immune lymphocytes on monolayers prepared with cells bearing the sensitizing H-2 antigens abrogated the in vitro cell-mediated cytotoxicity (CMC) directed against 51Cr-labeled normal target cells (spleen cells or ConA-activated spleen blasts), whereas significant cytolytic activity to the corresponding 51Cr-tumor cells was still retained. Likewise, in competitive inhibition assays, CMC to 51 Cr-tumor target cells was only partially inhibited by unlabeled normal cells, whereas CMC to 51Cr-normal target cells was completely abrogated. These results suggested that alloimmune cytotoxic lymphocytes are heterogeneous and can be subdivided into two independent populations of restricted specificity. Several experiments suggested that the effector cell population directed against TAA can no longer elicit a graft-vs-host (GVH) reaction in vivo. This was demonstrated by adoptive transfer into lethally-irradiated allogeneic recipients of cytotoxic or primed spleen cells fractionated on host target cell monolayers. Furthermore, these results demonstrated that both effector cells and memory cells possess high affinity binding receptors to corresponding H-2 antigens. The potential use of fractionated immune lymphocytes sensitized to tumor allografts in adoptive immunotherapy is discussed.  相似文献

The capacity of human lymphocytes to adhere to paramyxovirus-infected monolayers and their capacity to kill paramyxovirus-infected cells was investigated. A large fraction of human lymphocytes was found to adhere firmly to the paramyxovirus-infected monolayers. Predsorption of lymphocytes on mumps virus-infected cells impaired their adsorption to a second cell monolayer of the same type. The cytotoxic activity of lymphocytes against mumps virus-infected cells was also reduced after predsorption on mumps virus- or Newcastle disease virus-infected (NDV) cell monolayers. Exposure of lymphocytes to trypsin did not significantly decrease either adsorption or cytotoxicity. Pretreatment of lymphocytes with neuraminidase (NANase) partly inhibited adsorption whereas cytotoxicity was not decreased. Cell fractionation experiments after rosetting of the lymphocytes with sheep erythrocytes (E) indicated that T cells were equally or better adsorbed than "non-T" cells. Taken together with previous experiments which showed that the majority of T lymphocytes are not cytotoxic against mumps virus-infected cells these results suggest that adherence of lymphocytes to infected cells and cytotoxicity may be unrelated phenomena.  相似文献

Spleen cells from unimmunized mice cultured in vitro without the intentional addition of exogenous antigen generated cytotoxic effector cells which lysed tumor and mitogen-stimulated blast target cells in a 5-hr chromium release assay. Effectors were generated in fetal bovine serum but not in adult horse serum, although both serum sources supported the generation of allogeneic cytotoxic cells. No correlation was observed between the ability of a serum source to support and generate serum-induced effectors and its ability to support an allogeneic cytotoxic response. The effectors lysed targets which were H-2 matched and those which were not H-2 matched with the cultured spleen cells, although the H-2 matched targets were consistently lysed more efficiently. “Cold” target cell inhibition studies indicated that multiple clones of cytotoxic cells were generated—including effector cells with specificity for self-structures, and particular alloantigens. Possible roles for the xenogeneic serum in the generation of this response are considered, including (a) the provision of essential stimulating and target antigens; (b) the induction of the expression of neoself-determinants; and (c) the possession of mitogenic properties.  相似文献

The in-vivo-induced memory T cells (MC) of mice, specific to H-2 antigens, are assayed by the generation of the secondary cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) activated by heat-killed stimulator cells. The MC are shown to adhere selectively to the corresponding target monolayer that gives rise to both the loss of MC activity in the population of non-adherent lymphocytes and gain in MC activity in the population adherent and eluted from the same monolayer. In addition to the revealing of MC H-2 antigen-binding receptors, the absorption-elution technique allows the separation of the MC into two categories: secondary CTL precursors bearing these receptors, and secondary amplifier cells non-adherent to the monolayer and assayed by promotion of the CTL generation from the primary precursors activated in MLC by heated stimulators. The difference in the receptor properties between the primary and secondary CTL precursors raises the possibility that the MC are generated not only in the amplifier cell population but also in the independent CTL precursor population.  相似文献

Concanavalin-A-stimulated human T lymphocytes from healthy donors and from patients suffering from diverse immune disorders were fractionated into rosette-forming (R) and nonrosette-forming (NR) cells. The separation method is based upon the ability of the lymphocytes to bind autologous erythrocytes and form autorosettes. Long-term cultures of the R and NR subpopulations were established. The activity of the culture supernatants on the T cell proliferation of normal human phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-induced lymphocytes and of a murine, interleukin-2 (IL-2)-dependent cytotoxic T cell line (CTLL) was investigated. Only the R cell line-derived supernatants from almost all patients tested evinced potent suppressor activity, those from healthy donors less so. The suppressive function was demonstrated not to be due to a cytotoxic effect since preincubation of the PHA-induced lymphocytes and CTLL cells with the factor did not diminish their proliferative capacity. Our study indicates the existence of a competitive relationship between the suppressor factor and IL-2. We found that inhibition of the proliferation decreased with the addition of increasing quantities of exogenous IL-2. We also observed that preincubating the CTLL cells with IL-2 prior to exposing them to the suppressive factor precludes inhibition of their proliferation. Phenotypic analysis of the suppressor cell line revealed that they were comprised of a T cell population which included OKT4+ and OKT8+ cells and that 99% of the cells formed autorosettes. Preliminary purification of the suppressive factor was performed by ultrafiltration and maximal suppression was exhibited by the fraction of less than 10,000 daltons. The development of suppressor cell lines from the unique population of autologous rosette-forming cells may be very helpful in studying the immunoregulatory properties of these cells and their suppressor activity.  相似文献

The cytotoxic activity of alloreactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) was maintained and augmented by transferring cells from a 5-day mixed lymphocyte culture MLC into a host culture (HC) containing indomethacin, freshly explanted normal spleen cells, and peritoneal cells which were syngeneic to the MLC cells. The MLC cells used in the transfer experiments were generated by culturing untreated H-2b splenic responders with irradiated H-2d stimulators, or were generated by culturing Lyt-2-depleted H-2b splenic responders with irradiated H-2d stimulators. The allo-CTL were found to be derived from the donor MLC (first culture) when unfractionated MLC cells were transferred into a host (second) culture and incubated for 5 days. In contrast, the allo-CTL were derived from host culture cells when Lyt-2-depleted MLC cells were transferred and the combined cultures incubated for 5 days. In the former case, the augmentation of MLC-derived cytotoxicity did not result from nonspecific expansion of all donor T cells; instead it was mediated by lymphokine(s), distinct from IL-2, produced by helper T cells generated in host culture, which appeared to selectively expand the antigen-specific CTL or to increase the cytotoxic activity of these CTL. The helper T cells were Thy-1+, L3T4+, and Lyt-2-. These findings indicate that antigen-nonspecific help was provided by helper cells or helper factors (lymphokines) generated in the host culture, which maintained and augmented the cytotoxic activity of the fully generated allo-CTL. This helper effect was also seen in the induction of primary allo-CTL responses which could be generated with fewer stimulating cells and with a stronger cytotoxic response at different R/S ratios tested. The generation of allo-CTL in second culture following transfer of Lyt-2-depleted MLC cells to host cultures appears to have involved antigen carryover from the MLC; however, antigen carryover alone was not sufficient. It appears that in the absence of Lyt-2+ suppressor T cells, antigen-specific help might be generated in donor cultures (Lyt-2-depleted MLC) which promoted or recruited the generation of antigen-specific CTL in host culture.  相似文献

The secretion and the specificity of cytotoxic mediators from H-2-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) were examined using non-virus-producing target tumor cells induced by the Schmidt-Ruppin strain of Rous sarcoma virus (SR-RSV) in B10 congenic and recombinant mice. By using rat concanavalin A supernatant, two H-2-restricted CTL clones were established from cytotoxic effector cells of B10.A(5R) mice primed with SR-RSV-induced syngeneic tumor Cell-free supernatants from the H-2-restricted CTL clones cocultured with syngeneic tumor cells had selectively high cytotoxic activity for syngeneic and H-2-compatible tumor cells, but not for H-2-incompatible tumor cells. YAC-1 cells, and B10.A(5R) blasts as defined in the 5-hr 51Cr-release assay. The cytotoxic activity was detected in the cell-free supernatants from the CTL clones cocultured with the CTL-sensitive syngeneic and H-2-compatible tumor cells, but not with the CTL-insensitive tumor cells and YAC-1 cells. The cytotoxic activity of the cell-free supernatant could be adsorbed by the syngeneic tumor cells, but not by YAC-1 and L(s) cells. Thus, the H-2-restricted CTL clones against SR-RSV-induced tumor cells were capable of releasing cytotoxic mediators by coculturing with syngeneic or H-2-compatible tumor cells, and the cytotoxic mediators showed a certain H-2-restricted manner in killing the target cells. These results suggest that the lysis of RSV-induced tumor cells by H-2-restricted CTL can at least in part be mediated by cytotoxic factors.  相似文献

Bovine serum albumin (BSA) substituted in 12 to 15 amino groups with 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl (Tnp-BSA) or carbobenzoxy (Cbz-BSA) or acetyl (Ac-BSA) groups was tested as inhibitor of the reaction in which anti-Tnp cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) lysed syngeneic 51Cr-labeled Tnp-modified spleen cells [concanavalin A (Con A) blasts]. Inhibition was observed with some consistency only with Tnp-BSA at extremely high concentration (50 mg/ml). To explore the significance of this observation, inhibition of anti-Tnp CTLs was also tested with Tnp-modified cells on which products of the major histocompatibility loci H-2K and H-2D were lacking or different from those on the stimulator cells used to elicit the CTLs. Only those Tnp cells with the same H-2 products as the stimulators were inhibitory, even though all the Tnp cells tested had essentially the same surface density of Tnp (ca 1 × 108 groups/cell). It is concluded that effective specific inhibitors of anti-Tnp CTLs have both Tnp groups and the correct H-2 products on the same particle and that the specific inhibitory activity of soluble Tnp-BSA was probably due to its adsorption onto cells in the suspensions used to assay cytotoxicity.  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

Murine CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes lyse Toxoplasma gondii-infected cells   总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14  
Studies were performed to determine whether CTL against Toxoplasma gondii-infected cells could be induced in a murine model of T. gondii infection in which CD8+ T lymphocytes have been shown to play a major role in resistance against this parasite. In 51Cr release assays, nylon wool nonadherent spleen cells from BALB/c (H-2d) mice immunized with the temperature-sensitive (ts-4) mutant strain of T. gondii were cytotoxic for T. gondii-infected P815 (H-2d) mastocytoma cells but not for uninfected cells. This cytotoxic activity was remarkably increased after in vitro stimulation with T. gondii-infected syngeneic spleen cells. The effector cells were shown to be CD8+ T lymphocytes, because the cytotoxicity was significantly inhibited by depletion of CD8+ T lymphocytes but not by depletion of CD4+ T lymphocytes. This cytotoxic activity was genetically restricted. Spleen cells from T. gondii-immune BALB/c mice were not cytotoxic for T. gondii-infected EL4 (H-2b) thymoma cells, whereas spleen cells from T. gondii-immune C57B1/6 (H-2b) mice were cytotoxic for T. gondii-infected EL4 cells but not for T. gondii-infected P815 cells. The cytolytic activity of CD8+ T lymphocytes against T. gondii-infected cells might be a mechanism whereby these cells confer resistance against T. gondii.  相似文献

Immune spleen cells enhanced for influenza-specific cytotoxic activity after exposure to virus-infected stimulator cells in vitro effect recovery when transferred to nude and immunocompetent mice with influenza pneumonia (5). This protective effect correlated with the virus-specific cytotoxic activity of the transferred lymphocytes and is removed by treatment with anti-0 serum and complement. The experiments presented here indicate that spleen cells taken directly from mice undergoing a primary or secondary infection are less protective than immune spleen cells that are restimulated in vitro before transfer. This decreased ability to clear pulmonary virus and effect survival correlated with their relatively lower levels of influenza-specific cytotoxicity. Protection did not correlate with the level of natural killer cell activity of transferred cells. The results also indicate the immune spleen cells that are protective are influenza A subtype cross-reactive and are H-2-restricted; H-2d immune spleen cells effected recovery of H-2d but not H-2k challenged mice.  相似文献

Murine cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) reactive to TNP-conjugated syngeneic target cells do lyse to a moderate but significant extent TNP-conjugated, I region compatible but H-2K or H-2D region incompatible target cells. Antibody inhibition experiments and "cold inhibition" experiments indicate that some CTL clones recognize TNP-conjugated targets in association with syngeneic I region determinants independently of H-2K or H-2D gene products. The data suggest that besides TNP-conjugated H-2K or H-2D gene products, in principle, also TNP-conjugated I region determinants do stimulate TNP-specific CTL precursor cells and act as target antigens of TNP-specific CTL.  相似文献

Bovine blood lymphocytes showed a high antibody-dependent (AD) cytotoxicity against target cultured L cells. The cytological analysis of immune cellular complexes, formed by affector lymphocytes with target cells during the cytotoxic reaction in vitro, revealed that adsorption of AD lymphocytes to target cells was completed within the first hours of incubation. Temporal parameters of contact between effector and target cells and dissociation of adsorbed lymphocytes varied widely, but after 48 hours of incubation the number of immune cellular complexes decreased by 5.6%. The morphological modification of AD effector lymphocytes during interaction with target cells is described.  相似文献

The requirements for viral and host protein synthesis in the generation of target antigens for cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) was evaluated by using vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) inactivated by UV irradiation (UV-VSV). EL4 target cells incubated with UV-VSV were recognized and lysed by anti-VSV CTL, indicating that de novo synthesis of viral proteins was not required for the generation of antigens recognized by antiviral CTL. Anti-VSV CTL from H-2b mice primarily recognize determinants derived from the VSV N protein bound to the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigen H-2Kb. Comparison of a cloned CTL line representing this specificity and a heterogeneous population of anti-VSV CTL showed that determinants other than that recognized by the cloned CTL were generated more efficiently from UV-VSV. By using vaccinia virus recombinants that express deletion fragments of the N protein, it was shown that these additional determinants were probably derived from VSV proteins other than the N protein. The protein synthesis inhibitor emetine was used to determine whether newly synthesized host proteins were required for antigen generation. The addition of emetine to target cells prior to or at the time of the addition of UV-VSV inhibited lysis by anti-VSV CTL. This inhibition could be due to depletion of newly synthesized MHC molecules from intracellular membranes. This hypothesis was supported by using brefeldin A to delay membrane protein transport in target cells during the time of incubation with emetine and UV-VSV, which resulted in partial reversal of the effect of emetine. These results suggest that newly synthesized class I MHC molecules are required for the generation of antigens recognized by anti-VSV CTL.  相似文献

AQR mice were immunized with H-2K and H-2 I encoded alloantigens presented by (Ax6R)F1 splenocytes. Spleen cells from these alloimmune mice were subsequently restimulated in vitro with B10.A lymphocytes and/or B10.T(6R) lymphocytes, thus presenting them with the immunizing H-2K and H-2 I alloantigens independently. When stimulated with B10.A lymphocytes, alloimmune lymphocytes develop significant cytotoxicity against the immunizing H-2K target antigens. When stimulated with a similar number of B10.T(6R) spleen cells, alloimmune lymphocytes undergo a prominant proliferative response, but develop little, if any, cytotoxicity against the immunizing H-2 K target antigens. The most efficient restimulation of cytotoxicity occurs when the alloimmune spleen cells are simultaneously restimulated by B10.A and B10.T(6R) lymphocytes. Stimulation with the immunizing H-2 I alloantigens alone is not sufficient for regeneration of detectable cytotoxic responses from alloimmune spleen populations. Stimulation with the immunizing H-2K alloantigens alone appears to be both necessary and sufficient to stimulate alloimmune cytotoxic responses. Although the immunizing H-2 I alloantigens are apparently not required to generate alloimmune cytotoxic responses, they markedly potentiate the cytotoxic responses induced by the immunizing H-2K alloantigens.  相似文献

Cloned cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) specific for lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) were adoptively transferred to syngeneic mice acutely or persistently (carrier mice) infected with LCMV. Although infectious virus was cleared from the spleens during acute LCMV infection begun 24 hr earlier and the spleens remained clear of virus for the 4 days of testing, there was no concomitant reduction of viral titers in lymph nodes. In contrast, adoptive transfer of cloned CTL into animals with persistent rather than acute LCMV infection resulted in deaths of syngeneic but not allogeneic recipients. LCMV-immune spleen cells taken 30 to 50 days after a primary immunization and activated by in vitro stimulation before transfer also caused death of syngeneic carrier mice. However, LCMV-immune spleen cell per se provoked no clinical manifestations when transferred but cleared infectious virus and viral nucleic acid sequences from syngeneic carrier mice. The migration of 51Cr-labeled, LCMV-specific, H-2-restricted cloned CTL was assessed in vivo. The circulation of these CTL clearly differed from that of spleen cells freshly isolated from uninfected mice and from non-LCMV-specific CTL clone. Further, the circulatory pattern of LCMV-specific, H-2-restricted, cloned CTL in carrier mice was markedly different than in uninfected animals; only 7% of the injected cells remained in the lungs of uninfected mice 8 hr after injection, whereas 30% had accumulated in the liver. However, 55% of the cells injected into carrier mice still remained in their lungs 8 to 16 hr later. Hence, LCMV-specific, H-2-restricted, cloned CTL have unique trafficking patterns in the presence of LCMV antigens and immune activities in vivo.  相似文献

Although cytotoxic activity was not detected within the spleen and regional lymph nodes from mice immunized sc with allogeneic lymphocytes, such activity was detected consistently in glass-nonadherent and anti-θ-sensitive peritoneal exudate cells (PE cells) from Day 5 after immunization and reached a maximum by Day 7. Immunized spleen cells developed cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) earlier and more effectively than normal spleen cells when transferred ip into X-irradiated syngeneic normal mice together with immunizing antigen, while they did not become cytotoxic when transferred without antigen. These results suggest that spleen and lymph node cells which may have differentiated into some transitional state by in vivo immunization may differentiate into mature CTLs, following direct contact with antigen at the site of graft. CTLs generated there appear to be responsible for the rejection of allogeneic lymphocytes. Cytotoxicity of PE cells was also generated in X-irradiated mice and augmented cytotoxicity was generated by treatment with cyclophosphamide.  相似文献

The effect of complexes of polyadenylic acid and polyuridylic acid [poly(A:U)] on thymus-processed lymphocytes was studied using a tissue culture system in which T cells responded to cell bound alloantigens. The in vitro activation of T cells into cytotoxic lymphocytes was assessed with the aid of the 51Cr cytotoxic assay. Introduction of poly(A:U) into cultures or pretreatment of thymus cells prior to culture resulted in a reduction in the time required for the development of maximal cytotoxic activity as well as a reduction in the dose of allogeneic cells required for maximum stimulus. Poly(A:U) had no influence on the ability of differentiated cytotoxic T cells to lyse 51Cr-labeled target cells. The amplification of cytotoxic activity caused by poly(A:U) was specific to the antigens used to activate the thymus lymphocytes.  相似文献

Distinct functional CD8+ T-cell populations have been observed during human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. One of these functions is the inhibition of viral replication by a noncytotoxic mechanism, which was shown to be mediated by the CD8+CD28+ subpopulation. On the other hand, CD8+ T cells exert an HIV-specific cytotoxic activity. The present study shows that CD8+CD28- lymphocytes display this HIV-specific cytotoxic activity, which is detectable immediately after the cells are purified from peripheral blood. The CD28- population is also able to proliferate and to retain its cytotoxic activity after in vitro restimulation with autologous blast cells. Finally, HIV-specific cytotoxic T cells can be obtained in vitro from the CD8+CD28+ population.  相似文献
