Summary This study examined the H-Y-specific in vitro restimulation of splenocytes from in vivo intraperitoneally (i.p.) primed C57B1/6 (B6) female mice. In vivo priming was carried out with human male or female fibroblasts or peripheral blood lymphocytes, respectively. It was attempted to measure the in vitro H-Y-specific activity by cell-mediated lympholysis and by cell proliferation. 3[H]Thymidine incorporation was determined in mixed lymphocyte cultures (MLCs) of xenogenetic primed female splenocytes (responder cells) and of syngeneic lethally irradiated male splenocytes (stimulator cells). The xenogenic H-Y presentation by in vivo sensitization did not induce in the in vitro restimulation system an H-Y-specific cell proliferation or in the effector phase the generation of H-Y-specific killer cells. The assay for celimediated lympholysis and lymphocyte proliferation after xenogeneic priming and syngeneic in vitro restimulation is, thus, not suitable for H-Y testing of human cells. 相似文献

Immunization of mice with multiple non-H-2 histocompatibility antigens results in the generation of cytolytic T lymphocytes that are specific for a limited number of immunodominant antigens. The experiments presented in this communication were designed to reveal immunodominance in pairwise combinations of autosomal and sex-linked non-H-2 histocompatibility (H) antigens. Priming and boosting responders with the male antigen, H-Y, paired with the H-4.2, H-7.1, or H-3.1 antigens, resulted in the generation of cytolytic T cells specific for the autosomal H antigens but not the H-Y antigen. Furthermore, co-immunization and boosting of C57BL/6 female responder spleen cells with BALB.B male cells resulted in the generation of cytolytic T cells specific for the BALB.B immunodominant antigens but not H-Y. No dominance was observed in H-4-plus H-7-incompatible combinations. Co-immunization of three different H-3 congenic strains with H-3.1 plus H-Y demonstrated that an efficient anti-H-3.1 T cell response is required for observing H-3.1 immunodominance over H-Y. Co-expression of H-3.1 and H-Y on the same priming and boosting cells was required for immunodominance. In fact, immunization with H-3.1 and H-Y presented on different cells resulted in normal generation of H-Y-specific cytolytic T cells, but no generation of H-3.1-specific cytolytic T cells resulted unless H-Y-specific cells were stimulated in the mixed lymphocyte cultures. These observations suggest that in vitro T cell responses to paired, non-H-2 H antigens may be independent, competitive, or synergistic, depending on the identity of the antigens and the priming and boosting conditions. 相似文献

The effect of anti-EL-4 serum on antibody-dependent cytotoxicity (ADCC) and cell-mediated cytotoxicity (CMC) was studied in allogeneic and xenogeneic systems. Inbred strains of BALB/c mice and Lewis rats were immunized with EL-4 tumor cells. Using microcytotoxic assays of 51Cr release from labeled EL-4 cells, complement-dependent cytolysis, ADCC, and CMC were determined. Complement-dependent cytolysis was observed in both systems. Although ADCC was demonstrated in both systems, the kinetics of cytolysis were different. Xenoantisera and alloantisera had opposite effects on CMC. Incubation of EL-4 target cells with BALB/c anti-EL-4 serum resulted in inhibition of CMC by immune BALB/c spleen cells. In contrast, treatment of EL-4 target cells with Lewis anti-EL-4 serum potentiated the CMC of immune Lewis spleen cells. It is thought that differences in the strength of response, antibody characteristics, and effector cells may determine the degree of inhibition or potentiation observed in these systems. 相似文献

This study describes the induction of allograft tolerance to the "male-specific," minor histocompatibility antigen, H-Y, in adult C57BL/6 female mice, and the effects of this tolerance induction on two immune parameters associated with graft rejection: delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) and cytolytic T-lymphocytes (CTL). B6 females tolerized to H-Y, by a single iv injection of C57BL/6 male lymphocytes, exhibited prolonged or permanent survival of B6 male tail skin grafts. Graft-induced DTH against H-Y antigen was reduced or abrogated in tolerized females. Delayed onset of graft rejection in partially tolerant females correlated with delayed onset of DTH, and eventual rejection of grafts was accompanied by an increase in H-Y-specific DTH. In contrast, H-Y-specific CTL activity was not consistent with graft status. These data demonstrate a correlation between H-Y-specific DTH and rejection of male skin grafts by B6 female mice and are most consistent with a major effector role for DTH in chronic graft rejection. 相似文献

Syngeneic, semiallogeneic, or allogeneic spleen lymphocytes were transferred intonu/nu BALB/c mice, which were infected with vaccinia virus. Specific Sensitization of transferred thymus-derived cells was determined in vivo by mean survival time and virus titer in the spleen six days after infection, and in vitro by cell-mediated cytolysis of vaccinia virus-infected syngeneic target cells. Virus-specific Sensitization took place only after transfer of syngeneic or semiallogeneic spleen lymphocytes; allogeneic lymphocytes had no influence on mean survival time or virus titer and showed no virus-specific cytolytic activity in vitro. Infection of mice with vaccinia virus-strain WR, Elstree, DIs, or DIs-infected syngeneic fibroblasts resulted in the generation of virus-specific effector cells, while injection of a high amount of inactivated virus particles caused no Sensitization. These results suggest H-2 homology for production of virus-specific effector cells. Propagation of virus is not necessary, since early surface antigens, combined with syngeneic H-2 antigens, suffice for Sensitization of cytolytic T lymphocytes.Abbreviations used in this paper are as follows CMC

H-Y antigen(s) coded or controlled by the Y chromosome in a variety of wild mouse strains have been compared with those of the inbred laboratory strains C57BL/6 (B6) and C57BL/10 (B10). H-Y antigen(s) were detected by H-2-restricted cytotoxic T cells from B6 and B10 female mice primed in vivo and boosted in vitro with syngeneic male spleen cells: There was no difference in the degree of H-Y specific lysis of male cells from the C57BL strains and of F1 hybrids or B6 congenic mice carrying the Y chromosome from the wild mouse strains examined. This result indicated that at the level of target cell specificity the H-Y antigen(s) from wild and laboratory strains were indistinguishable. H-Y antigen(s) were also found to be indistinguishable at the level of the in vitro induction of the anti H-Y cytotoxic response: F1 female mice, primed in vivo and boosted in vitro with homologous F1 male cells, all made H-Y-specific responses and where it could be examined, the target cell specificity of the anti-H-Y cytotoxic cells showed that B10 male cells as well as the homologous F1 male cells (where the Y chromosome was derived from the wild strain) were good targets. Finally, possible differences in H-Y transplantation antigens between the wild strains and the B10 laboratory strain were examined by grafting F1 male mice, the progeny of B10 females, and wild strain males with B10 male skin. These grafts were not rejected during an observation period of more than 9 months. Taken together, neither the cytotoxic data nor the skin graft data provide any evidence for allelism of H-Y even though the mouse strains examined were collected from widely disparate geographical locations. 相似文献

The present study examines an antiserum prepared against antigen-reactive T cells that induces murine H-Y-specific delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses. This anti-H-Y receptor antibody (ARA) was raised in C57BL/6 male mice against splenic T lymphocytes from H-Y immune syngeneic females. Subcutaneous administration of ARA to cyclophosphamide-pretreated C57BL/6 females is able to induce H-Y-specific delayed-type footpad swelling responses. The DTH inducing capacity in ARA was selectively retained on rabbit anti-mouse immunoglobulin columns and was absorbed completely by H-Y immune lymphoid cells from C57BL/6 females. The induction of H-Y DTH reactivity was due at least in part to the activation of H-Y antigen-specific T lymphocytes that could adoptively transfer DTH-like responses to naive female mice. ARA induces DTH responses in strains with the same lgh regions, including selected strains of H-Y nonresponders. Therefore, MHC-linked lr genes do not appear to be as critical when responses are triggered by ARA instead of by antigen. Possible mechanisms for the induction of immune responses by ARA are discussed. 相似文献

H-2 antigen compatibility of effector spleen cells and target cells was necessary for cell-mediated cytotoxicity (CMC) after both 1 and 2 intraperitoneal inoculation of 6/94 virus into mice. T cells were responsible for both primary and secondary CMS reactions. Neither reaction was influenced by the presence of virus-specific antibody added to the test system. Secondary CMC peaked earlier than the primary response and declined more rapidly. In vitro stimulation of primed spleen cells could also be used to detect the secondary CMC response. 相似文献

The response of H-Y-specific TCR-transgenic CD8(+) T cells to Ag is characterized by poor proliferation, cytolytic activity, and IFN-gamma secretion. IFN-gamma secretion, but not cytotoxic function, can be rescued by the B7.1 molecule, suggesting that costimulation can selectively enhance some, but not all, effector CD8(+) T cell responses. Although the H-Y epitope binds H-2D(b) relatively less well than some other epitopes, it can induce potent CTL responses in nontransgenic mice, suggesting that the observed poor responsiveness of transgenic CD8(+) T cells cannot be ascribed to the epitope itself. Previously reported reactivity of this TCR to H-2A(b) is also not the cause of the poor responsiveness of the H-Y-specific CD8(+) T cells, as H-Y-specific CD8(+) T cells obtained from genetic backgrounds lacking H-2A(b) also responded poorly. Rather, reducing the levels of H-2(b) class I molecules by breeding the mice to (C57BL/6 x B10.D2)F(1) or TAP1(+/-) backgrounds partially restored cytotoxic activity and enhanced proliferative responses. These findings demonstrate that the self MHC class I gene dosage may regulate the extent of CD8(+) T cell responsiveness to Ag. 相似文献

Induction of H-Y-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses in nonresponder female mice was attempted by i.v. injection of allogeneic male cells, followed by in vitro restimulation of recipient spleen cells with syngeneic male cells. Responses were obtained only in two strain combinations in which the recipients, although phenotypically nonresponders, carried responder alleles at class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) loci, and the immunizing cells differed from the recipients at class II MHC loci. The two positive strain combinations were B10.A(2R) anti-B10.A(4R), and B10.GD anti-B10.D2(R101). In the first combination, both recipient and donor are nonresponders to H-Y, and the CTL are induced via a bystander effect of another CTL response to a previously undetected minor histocompatibility (H) antigen. This "carrier" antigen can only induce CTL against H-Y and itself when the immunizing cells express class II MHC molecules. Furthermore, the presence of H-Y and the carrier antigen on the same cell is a prerequisite for the generation of H-Y-specific CTL. In the second combination, the recipient is a nonresponder, whereas the donor is a responder. The two strains differ at only E alpha and E beta class II MHC loci. For the induction of CTL, H-Y and the foreign E molecule must be expressed on the same cells. Thus, the B10.D2(R101) cells that express E molecules on their surface probably provide the E-nonexpressor B10.GD recipients with a stimulus for the generation of H-Y-specific T helper cells. The data are consistent with the notion that antigen-specific class II MHC-restricted T helper cells are involved in the initiation of CTL responses to minor H antigens. 相似文献

The role of protein synthesis in the mechanism of T cell-mediated cytolysis has been re-investigated. Cytolytically active (C57BL/L anti-DBA/2) spleen cells treated with pactamycin (10-7 M to 10-6 M) exhibited suppressed protein synthesis (100 +/- 5%), but unimpeded lytic activity. Drug-treated effector cells, incubated for prolonged (up to 24 hr) periods of time in the presence and absence of antigen, showed no siginificant diminution of lytic activity although the incorporation of 3H-leucine into protein was totally ablated. Studies with emetine, another irreversible inhibitor of protein synthesis, gave identical results. These findings are difficult to reconcile with the hypothesis that effector T cells lysis via a soluble protein mediator. 相似文献

Fetal expression of Fas ligand is necessary and sufficient for induction of CD8 T cell tolerance to the fetal antigen H-Y during pregnancy 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Interaction of Fas with Fas ligand (FasL) is known to play a role in peripheral tolerance mediated by clonal deletion of Ag-specific T cells. We have assessed the requirement for Fas/FasL interactions during induction of tolerance to the fetus. Using H-Y-specific TCR transgenic mice, we have previously demonstrated that exposure of maternal T cells to H-Y expressed by male fetuses results in deletion of 50% of H-Y-specific maternal T cells. The remaining H-Y-specific T cells were hyporesponsive to H-Y as assayed by decreased proliferative ability and CTL activity. To determine whether Fas/FasL interactions contribute to induction of maternal T cell tolerance, responsiveness to fetal H-Y was assessed in H-Y-specific TCR transgenic pregnant females that were deficient in functional Fas or FasL. Surprisingly, both deletion and nondeletion components of tolerance were abrogated in TCR transgenic H-Y-specific lpr (Fas-deficient) or gld (FasL-deficient) pregnant females. Experiments further revealed that expression of FasL by the fetus, but not by the mother, is necessary and sufficient for both components of maternal T cell tolerance to fetal Ags. Fas interaction with fetal FasL is thus critical for both deletion and hyporesponsiveness of H-Y-reactive CD8+ T cells during pregnancy. 相似文献

Cytotoxic effector T cells putatively specific for multiple non-H-2 histocompatibility (H) antigens were generated by immunizing and boosting C57BL/6 and B6.C-H-2
dmice with BALB.B and BALB/c stimulator cells, respectively. The generated effectors were tested for cell-mediated lympholysis on a panel of targets whose BALB/c-derived non-H-2 H antigens were donated by CXB recombinant inbred mice. The spectrum of reactivity of cytotoxic effector T cells with CXB targets demonstrated that the effectors did not recognize multiple H antigens but rather preferentially recognized a single immunodominant non-H-2 H antigen. The identity of the immunodominant H antigen was determined by the H-2 genotype of the stimulator cells when (B6 × B6.C-H-2
d)F
1 cytotoxic effectors were tested. These observations indicate that despite the fact that responders were challenged with more than 40 individual non-H-2 H antigens, they preferentially responded to a single immunodominant antigen. 相似文献

Mutants of the EB virus-transformed cell line T5-1 (HLA-Al, 2; B8, 27), bearing well-characterized alterations in HLA-A2 antigen expression and unable to bind the HLA-A2-specific monoclonal antibody 13137.2, have been tested for their susceptibility to EB virus-specific cytolysis using effector T-cell preparations functionally restricted through relevant HLA antigens. Initial experiments first confirmed that the parent line T5-1 was susceptible to cytolysis by both common A2-restricted and 1327-restricted effector cells. While those T5-1 mutants with little or no surface A2 expression were not lysed by A2-restricted effectors, those targets with quantitatively normal expression of mutant A2 molecules were as susceptible to A2-restricted lysis as the parent line itself. In contrast, all the T5-1 mutant lines were susceptible to B27-restricted cytolysis. The results demonstrate that experimentally induced mutations of HLA-A2 antigen structure, affecting a serologically defined site on the molecule, can occur without altering that same molecule's expression of the T cell-restricting determinant(s). Such experimentally induced mutations are quite different from the naturally occurring variant A2 antigens which are present within the serologically defined A2 antigen group and which show changes at the T cell-restricting site. 相似文献

Xenogeneic antiserum (RH1) was prepared in Lewis rats by hyperimmunization with concanavalin A- (Con A) activated alloimmune human lymphocytes. The antiserum RH1 effectively inhibited human antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), cell-mediated cytotoxicity (CMC), and natural killing (NK) in the absence of complement (C). Inhibition by RH1 was dependent on the dilution of antiserum employed and the number of cytotoxic lymphocytes present during cytolysis. Pretreatment of lymphocytes with RH1 or the presence of RH1 in culture did not inhibit lymphocyte proliferation stimulated by Con A, phytohemagglutinin, or allogeneic cells; lymphokine production as measured by leukocyte-inhibiting factor production; antibody-dependent C lysis; or CMC mediated by murine cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Analysis of the mechanism of inhibition of cytotoxicity by RH1 revealed that 1) RH1 was not cytotoxic for human lymphocytes at 37 degrees C in the absence of C; 2) purified F(ab')2 fragments were equally inhibitory as whole serum; 3) pretreatment of lymphocytes with RH1 effectively inhibited their capacity to mediate ADCC, CMC, or NK, and this effect was reversible by culturing the cells overnight at 37 degrees C; 4) RH1 did not inhibit target cell binding by K cells, effector cells of ADCC, or alloimmune T cells, but did inhibit binding by NK cells; and finally, 5) the addition of RH1 to preformed lymphocyte-target conjugates in a single cell cytotoxicity assay inhibited killing of the bound target cells in all three systems without disrupting the conjugates. Collectively, these findings suggest that RH1 antiserum interacts with structures present on the surfaces of cytotoxic lymphocytes that are involved in the activation of the lytic mechanism(s) or with the actual lytic molecule or molecules themselves. Furthermore, the ability of RH1 to inhibit ADCC, CMC, and NK during the post-binding cytolytic phase of these reactions indicates that binding and cytolysis are distinct and separate events in all types of cell-mediated cytolysis. 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

Three cell surface antigens associated with the cytolytic T lymphocyte(CTL)-target cell interaction were identified by generation of monoclonal antibodies (MAb) against OKT4+, HLA-DR-specific CTL and selection for inhibition of cytolysis in a 51Cr-release assay. These MAb block cytolysis by both OKT4+ and OKT8+ CTL and the proliferative responses to PHA and the mixed lymphocyte response (MLR). LFA-1 is an antigen widely distributed on lymphoid tissues and is composed of two polypeptides of 177,000 and 95,000 Mr on all cell types studied. Anti-LFA-1 MAb block NK cell-mediated cytolysis in addition to T lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity and proliferation. LFA-2 (Mr = 55,000 to 47,000), a determinant on the sheep red blood cell receptor, is expressed by T cells but not B cells and appears specific for T cell functions. LFA-3 (Mr = 60,000) is a widely distributed antigen present on both hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic tissues and appears to only be involved in T cell functions. MAb to LFA-1 and LFA-2 inhibit function by binding to effector cell surface molecules, whereas anti-LFA-3 MAb appear to block by binding to the target cells. Together with previously described molecules, LFA-1, LFA-2, and LFA-3 demonstrate the complexity of CTL-mediated cytotoxicity at the molecular level. 相似文献

The kinetics and rate of T cell-mediated cytolysis was assessed by measuring the times required for lysis of isolated target cells by single cytotoxic lymphocytes. Single target cell lysis was determined microscopically by observing trypan blue uptake as a function of time of incubation of effector-target conjugates in agarose. Lysis of EL-4 target cells by alloimmune peritoneal exudate lymphocytes was initiated without a lag and was essentially complete at 2 hr. Both zero-order and first-order kinetics equations were analyzed for fit to the 0 to 2 hr lysis values. Statistically, the zero-order kinetic function could be rejected (p greater than 0.05), but the first-order kinetics function (p less than 0.01) could not. This strong evidence for first-order kinetics of T cell-mediated cytolysis implies that within each CTL-target cell population, cytolysis occurs exponentially as a random decay process and that one event in the entire process of cytolysis is rate limiting. The first-order equation was then applied to measurements of the rate of cytolysis in many different individual effector-target cell combinations. Significant differences in the lytic rate were apparent when either the effector or target cell were varied, with the rate constants spanning a 5-fold range. The heterogeneity of lytic rates is consistent with the hypothesis that lytic efficiency is a function of both the effector and target cells used. 相似文献
