The course of infection after injection of small doses of bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) was studied in mice which were depleted in vivo of T cell subsets by administration of either anti-L3T4 or anti-Lyt-2 mAb. The results presented herein strongly suggest that the L3T4+ subpopulation play a pivotal role in the immunologic control of BCG infection because the depletion of L3T4+ cells led to a dramatic increase in the number of viable bacteria. Depletion of Lyt-2+ cells had no significant effect on the course of infection. These results were confirmed by using adoptive transfer experiments which showed that protective immunity was mediated by L3T4+ cells generated in the spleen as a result of infection. Moreover, T cells capable of controlling the recurrence of BCG multiplication from residual bacteria remaining in organs after the recovery from infection were shown to belong to the L3T4+ subpopulation. 相似文献

The adoptive transfer of specifically sensitized T lymphocytes can effectively mediate the regression of established local and metastatic tumors. Previous experiments using the weakly immunogenic MCA 105 sarcoma indicated that cellular interactions between transferred L3T4+ helper and Lyt-2+ cytotoxic immune T cells were necessary for mediating tumor regression. In this study, the kinetics of T-T cell interactions were analyzed by in vivo depletion of T cell subsets with mAb. The anti-tumor efficacy of transferred immune cells was abrogated by in vivo administration of either L3T4 or Lyt-2 mAb on the day of cellular therapy. However, if mAb were given 3 days after the transfer of immune cells, depletion of Lyt-2+ but not L3T4+ cells abrogated anti-tumor efficacy. T cell depletion on day 6 after transfer of immune cells had no adverse effect on tumor regression, indicating the period required for T cell reactivity in vivo. Furthermore, depletion of Ia+ cells by in vivo mAb treatment abrogated the anti-tumor efficacy of immune cells. It is thus hypothesized that there are two distinct but sequential phases of in vivo T cell interactions leading to the regression of established tumors after adoptive immunotherapy. An initial "helper/inducer" phase apparently requires the interaction of L3T4+ immune cells and the tumor Ag involving Ia+ cells. The inducement of L3T4+ cell activation is to provide helper function via the secretion of IL-2. The second phase designated as an "effector phase" involves differentiation of immune Lyt-2+ cells under the influence of IL-2 secreted during the helper/inducer phase for generation of mature Lyt-2+ effector cells. To further support the hypothesis of a two-phase process we have examined the phenotype and kinetics of tumor regression mediated by effector cells generated by secondary in vitro sensitization (IVS). Although the IVS cells were generated from fresh MCA 105 immune spleen cells, their anti-tumor efficacy was mediated solely by Lyt-2+ lymphocytes. Kinetic studies revealed that the in vivo requirement of IVS Lyt-2+ effector cells to mediate tumor regression was less than 3 days, and the anti-tumor reactivity of these cells was not affected by in vivo depletion of Ia+ cells. Thus, the IVS reaction is likely representative of the in vivo counterpart of the helper/inducer phase leading to the generation of mature Lyt-2+ immune effector cells. Tumor regression after transfer of Lyt-2+ cells generated in IVS therefore required a relatively shorter period of time than that required after the transfer of fresh noncultured MCA 105 immune spleen cells. 相似文献

We have previously demonstrated that following the adoptive transfer of immune cells, the regression of established pulmonary metastases from a weakly immunogenic sarcoma, MCA 105, required the collaboration of two T cell subsets. In this study, we found that the critical role played by L3T4+ immune cells was to provide a helper function since tumor regression proceeded in the absence of L3T4+ immune cells if exogenous interleukin 2 (IL-2) was administered. To extend these observations, we analyzed the events leading to the induction and generation of L3T4+ and Lyt-2+ immune T cells after immunization of mice with viable tumor cells admixed with Corynebacterium parvum. The basic protocol involved immunization, surgical excision of the immunization site on day 7, and challenge with viable tumor cells on day 21. The ability of mice to reject tumor challenge provided a means to evaluate the occurrence of a systemic antitumor immunity. With the use of this experimental protocol, we have found that depletion of T cell subsets in vivo with either L3T4 or Lyt-2 monoclonal antibodies after active immunization abrogated the development of antitumor immunity. Mice immunized and depleted of L3T4+ but not Lyt-2+ T cells were able to reject tumor challenge if exogenous IL-2 was given for 7 days. However, the rejection of tumor challenge required 3 days of additional exogenous IL-2 administration. These results indicate that the induction of Lyt-2+ immune T cells depended on the helper function of L3T4+ T cells via the secretion of IL-2. In the absence of L3T4+ immune lymphocytes, the expression of antitumor immunity by Lyt-2+ immune cells could be facilitated by in vivo administration of exogenous IL-2. The induction of L3T4+ immune T cells, on the other hand, occurred independently of the Lyt-2+ T cell response because the transfer of spleen cells from Lyt-2+ cell-depleted, immunized animals was able to restore antitumor reactivity in L3T4+ cell-depleted, immunized mice. These results demonstrate the intricate cellular interactions leading to the induction as well as the expression of antitumor immunity. 相似文献

The roles of Class II-restricted L3T4+ T cells and of accessory cells (AC) during the in vitro generation of Class I-restricted Lyt-2+ cytotoxic T cells (CTL) specific for a Class II-negative syngeneic tumor cell line, FBL, was examined. Treatment of responder FBL-immune spleen cells with alpha L3T4 plus complement before culture, as well as the direct addition of alpha L3T4 to cultures, diminished the generation of FBL-specific CTL. The contribution of L3T4+ cells could be completely replaced by the addition of exogenous cytokines. The data demonstrate that the optimal generation of FBL-specific Lyt-2+ CTL requires the presence of L3T4+ cells, presumably to provide necessary lymphokines. FBL-specific CTL could not be generated from purified FBL-immune T cells in the absence of AC. Syngeneic Ia+ macrophages (M phi), added at the initiation of culture, restored the response of purified T cells. Pretreatment of M phi with ammonium chloride or chloroquine, or the addition of monoclonal alpha I-Ab antibody at the initiation of culture, inhibited the ability of M phi to reconstitute the CTL response. Finally, the addition of exogenous helper factors could replace M phi and reconstitute the FBL-specific response of AC-depleted immune T cells. These results suggest that during the generation of Lyt-2+ CTL to a syngeneic tumor expressing only Class I MHC antigens, Ia+ AC are required to biochemically process antigen released from the tumor cells and present this modified antigen to Class II-restricted T helper cells. 相似文献

T cell subsets and IFN-gamma production in resistance to systemic candidosis in immunized mice 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

In addition to previous evidence for the roles of T cell-dependent immunity and delayed-type hypersensitivity in acquired resistance to systemic candidosis in mice, in the present study we have investigated the relative contributions of L3T4+ and Lyt-2+ lymphocytes in the protective immunity induced by vaccination with low virulence Candida albicans cells. We have also addressed the issue of the mode of Candida Ag recognition by specific T cells leading to cytokine release. Spleen cells from immunized mice produced high levels of IFN-gamma in vitro in response to Candida Ag, and this activity was abolished only by the combined treatment of the responder population with anti-L3T4 and anti-Lyt-2.2 mAb plus C. Positively selected L3T4+ and Lyt-2+ cells also produced IFN-gamma in vitro, provided accessory cells (plastic-adherent and Thy-1- Ia- splenocytes, respectively) were added to the lymphocyte-yeast cell cocultures. The production of IFN-gamma by purified L3T4+ and Lyt-2+ cells was inhibited by addition of the respective anti-class II and anti-class I H-2 antibody to the cultures. In vivo, administration of anti-L3T4, anti-Lyt-2.2 mAb or a combination of both significantly impaired the resistance of immunized mice to challenge with virulent C. albicans, as manifested by increased recovery of the yeast from the mouse kidneys. A similar effect was observed upon neutralization of endogenous IFN-gamma by treatment with rat mAb. These results suggest that both L3T4+ and Lyt-2+ T cells play a role in acquired immunity to systemic C. albicans infection, and that their activity may involve IFN-gamma-mediated stimulation of candidacidal mechanisms. 相似文献

L3T4-positive T cells participate in the induction of graft-vs-host disease in response to minor histocompatibility antigens 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
B L Hamilton 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1987,139(8):2511-2515
The phenotype of T cells that initiate graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) in response to minor histocompatibility antigens (minor HA) was determined in three H-2 compatible strain combinations by using negative selection with monoclonal antibodies to Lyt-2 and L3T4 antigens to test the hypothesis that Lyt-2-positive T cells alone initiate GVHD. The phenotype of T cells required to initiate GVHD was different in each of the three strain combinations studied. Both Lyt-2+ and L3T4+ LP spleen cells were necessary to cause lethal GVHD in C57BL/6 recipients. In the reciprocal transplant, Lyt-2+, but not L3T4+ C57BL/6 spleen cells were sufficient to initiate GVHD in LP recipients. In contrast, L3T4+, but not Lyt-2+ B10.D2 spleen cells were found to initiate GVHD in BALB/c recipients. The optimal response to minor HA requires both Lyt-2+ and L3T4+ T cells because a mixture of the two subsets of spleen cells resulted in a more severe form of GVHD than either subset alone in all three strain combinations studied. This study demonstrates that L3T4+ cells participate in the initiation of GVHD in response to minor HA. The dominant T cell subset that initiates GVHD varies with the specific strain combination tested. The specific minor HA expressed in the transplant recipient, the H-2 type, and possibly non-major histocompatibility complex immune response genes of the donor strain appear to determine the phenotype of the initiator T cells. 相似文献

T cell subsets responsible for clearance of Sendai virus from mouse lungs determined by adoptive transfer of immune spleen cell fractions to infected nude mice. T cells with antiviral activity developed in spleens by 7 days after intranasal infection. Spleen cell fractions depleted of Lyt-2+, Lyt-1+, or L3T4+ cells showed antiviral activity in vivo, although the degree of the activity was lower than that of control whole spleen cells. The antiviral activity of the Lyt-2+ cell-depleted fraction was consistently higher than that of L3T4+ (Lyt-1+)-depleted cells. In vitro cytotoxic activity against Sendai virus-associated, syngeneic lipopolysaccharide-blast cells was detected in stimulated cells from intraperitoneally immunized mice but was lost after depletion of Lyt-2+ cells. Multiple injection of anti-Sendai virus antibody into infected nude mice had no effect on lung virus titer. These results indicate that L3T4+ (Lyt-1+) and Lyt-2+ subsets are cooperatively responsible for efficient clearance of Sendai virus from the mouse lung. 相似文献

Antigen-specific Lyt-2+ cytolytic T lymphocytes from mice infected with the intracellular bacterium Listeria monocytogenes 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
In vitro expanded T cell lines were used to determine whether antigen-specific cytolytic T lymphocytes are generated after infection with the intracellular bacterium, Listeria monocytogenes. Spleen cells from infected mice were cultured in the presence of syngeneic accessory cells, listerial antigen, and interleukin 2 containing supernatants. Cell lines were greater than 98% Thy-1+, L3T4-, Lyt-2+. Bone-marrow macrophages were used as target cells in two in vitro cytolytic assay systems. The Lyt-2+ T cells killed bone marrow macrophages only when infected with L. monocytogenes as assessed in a 4-hr 51Cr release assay and in an 18-hr neutral red uptake assay. Cytolysis was blocked by anti-LFA-1 and anti-Lyt-2 monoclonal antibodies. These cytolytic T cells produced interferon-gamma after co-stimulation with antigen, accessory cells, and recombinant interleukin 2. Bone marrow macrophages infected with Mycobacterium bovis were not killed by T cells from L. monocytogenes-infected mice but by T cell lines from M. bovis-infected mice, indicating that cytolysis was antigen specific. L. monocytogenes-infected target cells of different haplotype were lysed by the Lyt-2+ T cells. By using a low cell density split culture system, antigen-specific, H-2-restricted cytolytic T cells could be identified. These findings demonstrate that during infection with intracellular bacteria, Lyt-2+ T cells with cytolytic activity are generated that may be involved in antibacterial protection. 相似文献

Capacity of purified unprimed Lyt-2+ cells to reject Ia- H-2-different tumor cells in the Winn assay
To examine which cells participate in primary anti-H-2 responses to Ia- tumors in vivo, irradiated mice were injected intracutaneously with small doses of tumor cells mixed with purified populations of host-type lymphoid cells. Studies with three different Ia- H-2-different tumors showed that purified unprimed Lyt-2+ cells were highly efficient at suppressing tumor growth. Lyt-2+ cells were appreciably more effective at suppressing tumor growth than unseparated T cells, and no protection was seen with injection of L3T4+ cells (except in the late states of tumor growth). It is suggested that class I alloantigens on the tumors are directly immunogenic for Lyt-2+ cells. Without need for help from L3T4+ cells, the responding Lyt-2+ cells rapidly differentiate into cytotoxic cells and destroy the tumor cells before macroscopic tumors can arise. 相似文献

Distinction of virgin and memory T lymphocytes. Stable acquisition of the Pgp-1 glycoprotein concomitant with antigenic stimulation 总被引:48,自引:0,他引:48
R C Budd J C Cerottini C Horvath C Bron T Pedrazzini R C Howe H R MacDonald 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1987,138(10):3120-3129
The Pgp-1 glycoprotein was identified on a minor (27%) subset of peripheral Lyt-2+ or L3T4+ T cells. In contrast, mature medullary-type thymocytes (Lyt-2+ L3T4-, Lyt-2- L3T4+) were nearly devoid of cells expressing detectable surface Pgp-1. The appearance of peripheral Pgp-1- T cells was found to be thymus dependent, as demonstrated by the diminished proportion of Pgp-1- T cells after thymectomy and their virtual absence in athymic nude mice. The subsequent acquisition of surface Pgp-1 was found to be a stable differentiation event occurring concomitantly with primary antigenic stimulation; selected Pgp-1- mature T cells from thymus or periphery acquired constitutive expression of Pgp-1 after stimulation in vitro with alloantigen or mitogens. These observations were extended by studies in vivo showing that immunization with various antigens augmented the percentage of Pgp-1+ spleen cells within the Lyt-2+ subset. Furthermore, the frequencies of antigen-specific CTLp, after immunization by any of three different antigens tested, were greatly enriched in the Pgp-1+ compared with the Pgp-1- subpopulations. Peritoneal exudate Lyt-2+ cells, after a localized allograft rejection, demonstrated a particularly prominent Pgp-1+ subpopulation (78%) that contained virtually all the allospecific cytolytic activity. A model consistent with all of these data proposes that mature thymocytes lacking surface Pgp-1 upon emigration to the periphery acquire its expression at the time of primary antigenic stimulation. Hence, expression of Pgp-1 among peripheral T cells is an important differentiation marker for identifying antigen-stimulated memory T cells. 相似文献

The relative contributions of IL-2 and IL-4 during the immune response to the retrovirus-induced tumor, FBL, were examined. Both proliferative and cytolytic responses to FBL were measured and compared to similar responses to minor histocompatibility Ag. The addition of alpha IL-2 partially inhibited FBL-stimulated proliferation of purified L3T4+ T cells and nearly completely inhibited the response of Lyt-2+ T cells, whereas alpha IL-4 partially inhibited the proliferative response of the L3T4+ subset but had no effect on the response of the Lyt-2+ subset. The addition of exogenous IL-4 augmented the proliferative response of both subsets. Therefore, IL-4 is an endogenous growth factor for FBL-induced specific proliferation of the L3T4+ and not the Lyt-2+ population, but both subpopulations can respond to IL-4. Similar examination of anti-FBL CTL responses revealed that alpha IL-2, but not alpha IL-4, inhibited FBL-specific Lyt-2+ CTL generation. However, exogenous IL-4 partially replaced the L3T4+ Th cell activity necessary for optimal Lyt-2+ FBL-specific CTL generation. Therefore, IL-4 is not required but can participate in the CTL response. The role of IL-4 during the immune response of B6 mice to minor histocompatibility Ag disparate BALB.B cells was analyzed. alpha IL-4 had no detectable effect on the proliferative or cytolytic response to BALB.B cells, suggesting that endogenous IL-4 does not have a significant role in these responses. The extent of involvement of endogenous IL-4 in the T cell responses to retrovirus-induced tumor Ag and minor histocompatibility Ag presumably reflects the nature of the stimulating Ag, and detection of an IL-4 response may correlate with induction of an antibody response. Thus, the immunizing Ag and/or host B cell repetoire may influence which subsets of L3T4+ Th cells are activated during priming in vivo. 相似文献

In murine schistosomiasis mansoni the soluble egg Ag (SEA)-induced L3T4+ T cell-mediated circumoval granulomatous response peaks at the acute stage (8w) and undergoes Lyt-1+, Lyt-2+ suppressor cell mediated down-modulation at the chronic stage (20w) of the infection. In the present study lymphoproliferation, IL-2 production, utilization, and IL-2R display were examined in splenic lymphocytes of infected mice. The L3T4+ subset was the major SEA-specific proliferative population at both stages of the infection. Chronic infection spleen cells or the L3T4+ subset proliferated less compared with their acute infection counterparts. Elimination of the Lyt-2+ subset did not improve diminished proliferation. Chronic infection cells and the Lyt-2+ subset stimulated with SEA and exogenous rIL-2 regained their proliferative ability to a level comparable with acute infection cells. Ag-stimulated acute infection T cells produced 40 to 50 chronic infection cells less than 5 U/ml IL-2. Elimination of L3T4+ T cells diminished, and the Lyt-2+ T cells left unchanged IL-2 production in the acute infection cells. Elimination of Lyt-2+ subset from the chronic infection population did not enhance IL-2 production. Exogenously added rIL-2 was equally utilized by acute or chronic infection T cells. Scatchard plots of [125I]IL-2 binding showed similar numbers of high affinity receptors on acute (189) and chronic infection cells (118), but the number of low affinity receptors was higher on the acute (2229) vs the chronic infection lymphocytes (578). Analysis of IL-2R expression by two-color fluorescence and flow cytometry revealed that 30 to 40% of the acute, chronic infection L3T4+ cells displayed receptor. Receptor expression increased by added SEA, or SEA + rIL-2. R display among Lyt-2+ cells was only 12 to 18%. SEA stimulation enhanced receptor display more among the acute, SEA + rIL-2 stimuli raised receptor expression only among chronic infection lymphocytes. These data do not show inherent defect in IL-2R display, or utilization in chronic infection T cells. Diminished IL-2 production appears to be the cause of decreased T cell responsiveness. 相似文献

Lyt-2+ cells. Requirements for concanavalin A-induced proliferation and interleukin 2 production 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
D E Kern L B Lachmann P D Greenberg 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1987,139(9):2880-2887
The requirements for inducing Lyt-2+ T cell proliferation in response to concanavalin A (Con A) were examined. Purified Lyt-2+ or L3T4+ spleen cells of C57BL/6 origin were stimulated with Con A and syngeneic macrophages (MO) in the presence of monoclonal antibodies to T cell markers or to polymorphic determinants on major histocompatibility complex molecules, and assessed for the ability to proliferate and to produce interleukin (IL) 2. alpha I-Ab failed to inhibit the Con A response of Lyt-2+ cells at dilutions that significantly inhibited the response of L3T4+ cells. In contrast, alphaKb/Db or alpha Lyt-2.2 specifically inhibited the response of Lyt-2+ cells, but not L3T4+ cells. The ability of alpha Kb/Db and of alpha Lyt-2.2 to inhibit the response of Lyt-2+ cells was dependent upon the concentration of Con A. These data demonstrate that optimal triggering of T cell subsets to proliferate and to produce IL-2 in response to Con A requires interactions with the appropriate restricting major histocompatibility complex molecule. The role of accessory cells in Lyt-2+ Con A-induced proliferation and IL-2 production was also investigated. Purified Lyt-2+ cells and purified L3T4+ cells failed to respond to Con A in the absence of MO. IL-1 reconstituted the response when MO were limiting, but failed to restore the response of either Lyt-2+ or L3T4+ cells when T cells were rigorously purified to remove all MO. These results demonstrate that triggering Lyt-2+ T cells, like L3T4+ T cells, requires accessory cells, and that this does not merely reflect a requirement for IL-1 production. Thus, Con A-induced proliferation and IL-2 production by Lyt-2+ T cells requires intimate contact with accessory cells and interactions dependent upon the class I-restricting element. 相似文献

Role of L3T4 antigen in the activation of various functions of Lyt-1+2- T cells against vaccinia virus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The present study defines assay systems for vaccinia virus-reactive Lyt-1+2- T cells mediating various functions and investigates the positivity of L3T4 antigen on these Lyt-1+2- T cells as well as the role of L3T4 antigen in the activation of these T cells with respect to their functions. C3H/He mice were immunized against vaccinia virus by inoculating viable virus intraperitoneally (i.p.). Anti-vaccinia virus reactivity in lymphoid cells from these immunized mice was assessed by proliferative response, helper T cell activities involved in cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) and B cell (antibody) responses, delayed type-hypersensitivity (DTH) response, and production of lymphokines such as interleukin 2 (IL2) and macrophage-activating factor (MAF). The results demonstrate that all of the above anti-vaccinia virus responses were mediated by Lyt-1+2- T cells and that these Lyt-1+2- T cells expressed L3T4 antigens on their cell surfaces. Moreover, such anti-vaccinia Lyt-1+2- T cell responses were inhibited in the presence of anti-L3T4 antigen antibody. These results indicate that there is a reciprocal relationship between Lyt-2 and L3T4 markers, and that L3T4 antigen is closely related to the activation of various functions of anti-vaccinia virus Lyt-1+2- T cells. 相似文献

Frequency analysis of class I MHC-reactive Lyt-2+ and class II MHC-reactive L3T4+ IL 2-secreting T lymphocytes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The reactivity of Lyt-2+ or L3T4+ T cells stimulated with either mutant class I or class II MHC alloantigens was studied. Whereas stimulation with class I MHC antigens induced only Lyt-2+ T cells to proliferate and to secrete IL 2, stimulation with class II MHC alloantigens induced L3T4+ but not Lyt-2+ T cells. When the frequencies of precursors of IL 2-secreting T lymphocytes (IL 2TL-p) were determined by limiting dilution analyses, class I MHC-reactive Lyt-2+ T cells displayed frequencies (f = 1/200) as high in magnitude as those within class II MHC-reactive L3T4+ (f = 1/100). Clonally developing IL 2TL of either T cell subset were antigen-specific, as shown in split-culture experiments. Whereas L3T4+ helper TL could be induced to specific IL 2 secretion over a long time period (days 3 to 9), Lyt-2+ TL showed a marked time optimal on day 4; thereafter, the number of TL colonies inducible to secrete IL 2 decreased steadily. IL 2 production and IL 2TL-p frequencies of unseparated T responder cells were not the numerical superposition of the two individual T cell subsets (Lyt-2+ + L3T4+); the latter finding is likely to reflect regulatory influences of Lyt-2+ T cells on IL 2-secreting L3T4+ T cells. 相似文献

These studies assess the roles of subpopulations of T lymphocytes in inducing and modulating resistance to Schistosoma mansoni. C57BL/6 mice were depleted in vivo of L3T4+, Lyt-1+, Lyt-2+, IL-2R+ cells, or IL-4 by administration of appropriate mAb. Resistance and various correlative parameters of the immune response were studied in normal, depleted, and congenitally athymic mice. Depletion of T lymphocytes by anti-L3T4 or anti-IL-2R mAb reduced the development and expression of resistance, IgG2a and IgE antibody formation, and delayed type hypersensitivity reactivity against schistosome Ag. Depletion with anti-IL-4 antibody led to profound suppression of IgE-eosinophil-mediated antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity and passive cutaneous anaphylaxis responses against the parasite and no effect on IgG2a antibody, Ag-mediated blast transformation, or resistance. Depletion of Lyt-2+ cells produced augmented development and expression of resistance and an increase in the immunological parameters of anti-schistosome reactivity. These studies suggest that protective immunity to S. mansoni in mice, induced by irradiated cercariae, is dependent on L3T4+, IL-2R+ lymphocytes and negatively regulated by Lyt-2+ cells. IL-4 does not appear to be essential for the development of resistance but is essential for the IgE response to the parasite. 相似文献

Higher frequency of Leishmania major-specific L3T4+ T cells in susceptible BALB/c as compared with resistant CBA mice 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13

In previous studies, we reported that a) the adoptive transfer of parasite-specific L3T4+ T cells enhanced rather than inhibited the development of lesions induced by Leishmania major in normal BALB/c mice, and b) the depletion in vivo of L3T4+ T cells by administration of anti-L3T4 monoclonal antibody reversed the susceptibility of BALB/c mice to L. major. To further assess the role of specific L3T4+ T cells in the development of lesions induced by L. major in BALB/c mice, the frequency of parasite-specific T cells capable of mediating specific delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reactivity was determined, by limiting dilution analysis, in the lymph nodes draining the lesions of susceptible (BALB/c) and resistant (CBA) mice. The numbers of L. major-specific DTH-mediating T cells was found to be substantially increased in the lymph nodes of infected BALB/c mice as compared with CBA mice. Moreover in CBA mice, analysis of the cell surface phenotype of the L. major-specific DTH-mediating T cells showed that these cells were equally represented in the L3T4+, Lyt-2-, and L3T4- Lyt-2+ subsets, whereas the majority of these cells in BALB/c mice expressed the L3T4+ Lyt-2- surface phenotype. 相似文献

Impact of genetically regulated T cell proliferation on acquired resistance to Listeria monocytogenes 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Two lines of mice genetically selected for high and low in vitro responses to PHA were used to evaluate the impact of T cell polyclonal expansion on acquired resistance to Listeria monocytogenes. The selective breeding induced two major consequences in low responder mice: (1) a reduction of the number of L3T4+ cells and (2) a restriction of T cell expansion upon PHA stimulation, predominantly affecting the Lyt-2+ subset, and associated with an abridgment of IL-2 production. In vivo PHA stimulation induced anti-Listeria protection in high responder mice, but was much less effective in low responder mice. Flow cytometer analysis revealed that T cell proliferation was also reduced in low responder mice during the course of Listeria infection, implying both L3T4+ and Lyt-2+ subsets. This defect did not apparently influence the kinetics of bacterial elimination in host tissues, which was similar in both lines during primary Listeria infection. In contrast, the expression of delayed-type hypersensitivity to Listeria antigens and the level of immunologic memory were significantly reduced in low responder mice. In vivo selective T cell depletion by anti-L3T4 or anti-Lyt-2 mAb allowed us to demonstrate the predominant role of Lyt-2+ cells in protection and that of L3T4+ cells in the expression of delayed-type hypersensitivity. 相似文献

Cooperation between humoral factor(s) and Lyt-2+ T cells in effective clearance of Sendai virus from infected mouse lungs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The mechanism of cooperation between the L3T4+ and Lyt-2+ T cell subsets in effective clearance of Sendai virus from infected mouse lungs was studied by adoptive cell transfer using nude mice. Simultaneous transfer of a long-term-cultured Sendai virus-specific L3T4+ T cell line with L3T4+ cell-depleted immune spleen cell (L3T4-) fraction to infected nude mice could result in viral clearance, although single injection with either of these cells was not effective. Instead of the L3T4+ T cells, culture supernatants of the L3T4- T cell line or concanavalin A-stimulated mouse spleen cells and mouse serum immunized with the virus were also active in the cooperative viral clearance with L3T4- fraction. The role of the Sendai virus-sensitized L3T4- cell fraction in cooperative viral clearance with humoral factors could be replaced by neither T cell-deprived immune spleen cell fraction nor normal spleen cells. The 1,500 units of recombinant mouse interleukin 2 (IL-2), which was more than 12 times the IL-2 activity present in the supernatants of the T cell line or concanavalin A-stimulated spleen cells, failed to clear the virus in combination with the L3T4- fraction. Monoclonal antibodies to Sendai or mouse hepatitis viruses were also effective in the cooperative antiviral activity. IL-2 activity was not detected in these monoclonal antibodies and the mouse immune serum. Single injection of any humoral factors failed to clear the virus. These results indicate that Sendai virus-sensitized Lyt-2+ subset of T cells acts cooperatively with humoral factor(s) other than IL-2 or Sendai virus-specific antibody present in supernatants of the T cell line, of concanavalin A-stimulated spleen cells or hybridomas, and in mouse serum immunized with the virus. 相似文献
