When C57BL/6 (B6) mice were irradiated (9 Gy) and received bone marrow (BM) cells of B6-lpr/lpr mouse origin (i.e., lpr→B6), all mice died within 6 days. In the irradiated B6 mice, radioresistant CD3? IL-2Rβ+ NK cells and IL-2Rβ CD3int cells (i.e., CD3int cells of extrathymic origin) remained, especially in the liver. There were two subsets, NK1.1+ and NK1.1?, among the IL-2Rβ+ CD3int cells. However, the NK1.1+ subset (i.e., NK1.1+ T cells) was much more radioresistant, and the majority of CD3int cells belonged to this subset in irradiated mice. The expansion of lymphocytes from injected BM cells did not occur in the irradiated B6 mice. However, such expansion did take place in irradiated B6-lpr/lpr mice injected with both BM cells of B6-lpr/lpr and B6 origin. As a result, the mice subjected to BM cells survived. Irradiated B6 mice were treated in vivo with anti-NK1.1 mAb or anti-asialoGM1 antibody to eliminate NK cells alone or both NK cells and NK1.1+ T cells. When irradiated B6 mice were pretreated with anti-NK1.1 mAb, the mice could survive. These results suggest that intact NK1.1+ T cells of extrathymic origin may recognize abnormal BM cells with the lpr gene and inhibit the expansion of lymphocytes, including abnormal double-negative CD4?8? cells, in B6-lpr/lpr mice. To inhibit the expansion of lymphocytes, mechanisms other than Fas ligand/Fas molecules on extrathymic T cells may be responsible. 相似文献

In this study, we have characterised postnatal changes in T lymphocyte subsets, especially γδ T lymphocytes, in blood, spleen and lymph nodes. Detection was carried out using two-colour flow cytometry and three-colour immunohistochemistry. During ontogeny, there was a significant increase in the total percentage of γδ T cells in the spleen and blood. In the lymph nodes, there were no age-dependent changes in the total percentage of γδ T cells, but the percentage of the γδTCR+CD8+ subpopulation significantly increased. The tissue distribution of γδTCR+CD8+ and γδTCR+CD8− cells in the lymph nodes is random and not collocated with a particular area of the organ. Furthermore, postnatal development was characterised by an increasing frequency of CD8+CD3+CD4−γδTCR−, which was compensated by a decreasing proportion of CD4+ lymphocytes. Double positive CD4+CD8+ lymphocytes were rare during the first month of life and a significant age-dependent increase of these cells was found in all the compartments monitored. 相似文献

Intravenous infection with Theiler's virus strain GD VII causes acute encephalomyelitis in mice. Endogenous IFN-γ produced in the spinal cord is important to protect the tissue in mice infected with this virus. Neither CD4+ cells nor CD8+ cells infiltrated the spinal cords of infected mice until Day 9 postinfection. However, the number of CD3+/TCR-γδ+ cells increased in the spinal cords of mice infected with the virus. These cells resided in the spinal cords of normal mice, and produced IFN-γ as a result of stimulation by immobilized anti-CD3 mAb. Elimination of CD3+ cells by the administration of a specific mAb augmented viral replication and suppressed production of endogenous IFN-γ. Depletion of TCR-αβ+ cells and ASGM1+ cells did not affect the viral replication, and did not alter the production of IFN-γ. Therefore, CD3+/TCR-αβ– cells producing IFN-γ play an important role in the protection of the spinal cord against Theiler's virus infection. These results suggest that CD3+/TCR-αβ– cells might be identical to TCR-γδ+ cells. 相似文献

Cancer is an age‐associated disease, potentially related to the altered immune system of elderly individuals. However, cancer has gradually decreased incidence in the eldest globally such as the most common lung cancer, the mechanisms of which remain to be elucidated. In this study, it was found that the number of lung‐resident γδT cells was significantly increased with altered gene expression in aged mice (20–24 months) versus young mice (10–16 weeks). Aged lung Vγ4+ and Vγ6+ γδT cells predominantly produced interleukin‐17A (IL‐17A), resulting in increased levels in the serum and lungs. Moreover, the aged mice exhibited smaller tumors and reduced numbers of tumor foci in the lungs after challenge with intravenous injection of B16/F10 melanoma cells compared with the young mice. Aged lung Vγ4+ and Vγ6+ γδT cells were highly cytotoxic to B16/F10 melanoma cells with higher expression levels of CD103. The markedly longer survival of the challenged aged mice was dependent on γδT17 cells, since neutralization of IL‐17A or depletion of indicated γδT cells significantly shortened the survival time. Consistently, supplementation of IL‐17A significantly enhanced the survival time of young mice with lung melanoma. Furthermore, the anti‐tumor activity of aged lung γδT17 cells was not affected by alterations in the load and composition of commensal microbiota, as demonstrated through co‐housing of the aged and young mice. Intrinsically altered lung γδT17 cells underlying age‐dependent changes control lung melanoma, which will help to better understand the lung cancer progression in the elderly and the potential use of γδT17 cells in anti‐tumor immunotherapy. 相似文献

We have recently (Kawakami et al, Immunol. Lett. 1995;46: 143) demonstrated that unusual Mac-1+CD4?CD8? T cells bearing αβ antigen receptor (Mac-1+ αβ T cells) reside in a considerable proportion in murine lungs. The present study was performed to examine the dynamics of accumulation of these cells in the lungs following intravenous administration of Mycobacterium bovis BCG (BCG). Mac-1+ αβ T cells accumulated rapidly 24 hr after infection, followed by a gradual increase over the observation period of 15 days. Furthermore, the expression of Ia, ICAM-1 and FcγR II/III on their surface intensified dramatically after BCG infection. The kinetics of enhancement of Ia expression was slower than that of ICAM-1, with the maximum level attained in one day in the latter molecule but in two weeks in the former. Neutralization of endogenous IFN-γ by specific mAb completely blocked the augmented expression of Ia on Mac-1+ αβ T cells after BCG infection, but did not have any significant effect on that of ICAM-1. In contrast, in vivo administration of IFN-γ enhanced the expression of ICAM-1 as well as that of Ia. Our results indicate that accumulation of Mac-1 αβ T cells within the lung is associated with a differential change in the expression of surface antigens, and suggest that these cells may play a role in the host defense against mycobacterial infection. 相似文献

As women age, susceptibility to systemic and genital infections increases. Tissue‐resident memory T cells (TRMs) are CD103+CD8+ long‐lived lymphocytes that provide critical mucosal immune protection. Mucosal dendritic cells (DCs) are known to induce CD103 expression on CD8+ T cells. While CD103+CD8+ T cells are found throughout the female reproductive tract (FRT), the extent to which aging impacts their presence and induction by DCs remains unknown. Using hysterectomy tissues, we found that endometrial CD103+CD8+ T cells were increased in postmenopausal compared to premenopausal women. Endometrial DCs from postmenopausal women were significantly more effective at inducing CD103 expression on allogeneic naïve CD8+ T cells than DCs from premenopausal women; CD103 upregulation was mediated through membrane‐bound TGFβ signaling. In contrast, cervical CD103+ T cells and DC numbers declined in postmenopausal women with age. Decreases in DCs correlated with decreased CD103+ T cells in endocervix, but not ectocervix. Our findings demonstrate a previously unrecognized compartmentalization of TRMs in the FRT of postmenopausal women, with loss of TRMs and DCs in the cervix with aging, and increased TRMs and DC induction capacity in the endometrium. These findings are relevant to understanding immune protection in the FRT and to the design of vaccines for women of all ages. 相似文献

Background We have recently reported the presence of CD8+ and CD4/8 double‐negative (DN) natural killer T (NKT) lymphocytes in sooty mangabeys. To investigate differences in the two NKT cell subsets, we compared the phenotype and function of sooty mangabey CD8+ and DN NKT cells. Methods Flow‐sorted NKT lymphocytes from one SIV‐negative sooty mangabey were subjected to limiting dilution cloning. Invariant NKT clones were characterized by flow cytometry and cytokine ELISA. Results The majority of NKT clones displayed an effector memory phenotype and expressed CXCR3 and NKG2D. While CD8+ NKT subsets expressed significantly higher levels of granzyme B and perforin and produced more IFN‐γ, the DN NKT subsets secreted significantly more IL‐4, IL‐13, and IL‐10. Conclusions The Th1 and Th2 cytokine bias of CD8+ and DN NKT cells, respectively, indicates the presence of functionally heterogeneous populations of NKT cells in sooty mangabeys. 相似文献

In forests of the humid subtropics of China, chronically elevated nitrogen (N) deposition, predominantly as ammonium (NH4+), causes significant nitrate (NO3?) leaching from well‐drained acid forest soils on hill slopes (HS), whereas significant retention of NO3? occurs in near‐stream environments (groundwater discharge zones, GDZ). To aid our understanding of N transformations on the catchment level, we studied spatial and temporal variabilities of concentration and natural abundance (δ15N and δ18O) of nitrate (NO3?) in soil pore water along a hydrological continuum in the N‐saturated Tieshanping (TSP) catchment, southwest China. Our data show that effective removal of atmogenic NH4+ and production of NO3? in soils on HS were associated with a significant decrease in δ15N‐NO3?, suggesting efficient nitrification despite low soil pH. The concentration of NO3? declined sharply along the hydrological flow path in the GDZ. This decline was associated with a significant increase in both δ15N and δ18O of residual NO3?, providing evidence that the GDZ acts as an N sink due to denitrification. The observed apparent 15N enrichment factor (ε) of NO3? of about ?5‰ in the GDZ is similar to values previously reported for efficient denitrification in riparian and groundwater systems. Episode studies in the summers of 2009, 2010 and 2013 revealed that the spatial pattern of δ15N and δ18O‐NO3? in soil water was remarkably similar from year to year. The importance of denitrification as a major N sink was also seen at the catchment scale, as largest δ15N‐NO3? values in stream water were observed at lowest discharge, confirming the importance of the relatively small GDZ for N removal under base flow conditions. This study, explicitly recognizing hydrologically connected landscape elements, reveals an overlooked but robust N sink in N‐saturated, subtropical forests with important implications for regional N budgets. 相似文献

Pro‐inflammatory interleukin (IL)‐17‐producing γδ (γδ17) T cells are thought to develop exclusively in the thymus during fetal/perinatal life, as adult bone marrow precursors fail to generate γδ17 T cells under homeostatic conditions. Here, we employ a model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in which hematopoiesis is reset by bone marrow transplantation and demonstrate unequivocally that Vγ4+ γδ17 T cells can develop de novo in draining lymph nodes in response to innate stimuli. In vitro, γδ T cells from IL‐17 fate‐mapping reporter mice that had never activated the Il17 locus acquire IL‐17 expression upon stimulation with IL‐1β and IL‐23. Furthermore, IL‐23R (but not IL‐1R1) deficiency severely compromises the induction of γδ17 T cells in EAE, demonstrating the key role of IL‐23 in the process. Finally, we show, in a composite model involving transfers of both adult bone marrow and neonatal thymocytes, that induced γδ17 T cells make up a substantial fraction of the total IL‐17‐producing Vγ4+ T‐cell pool upon inflammation, which attests the relevance of this novel pathway of peripheral γδ17 T‐cell differentiation. 相似文献

HuCD25mAb is a humanized anti-CD25 antibody which has the same amino acid sequence as daclizumab (Zenapax, Roche). HuCD25mAb is expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells while daclizumab is expressed in the NSO myeloma cell line. A comparative study was performed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics between huCD25mAb and daclizumab in a two-dose regimen incorporating triple immunosuppressant treatment regimens (MMF, CsA and steroids). Fifteen patients were enrolled and randomized to receive intravenous infusion of either huCD25mAb (n = 10) or daclizumab (n = 5) at a dosage of 1 mg·kg−1 on operation day 0 and post-operation day 14. Serum concentrations of huCD25mAb and daclizumab were measured by a validated competitive ELISA. Subgroups of CD3+, CD25+, CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes were monitored periodically by flow cytometry. The concentration-time curves of huCD25mAb and daclizumab were found to fit well to a one-compartment model. A significant decline of proportion (%) of CD3-CD25+ and CD3+CD25+ lymphocytes was observed 30 min after first infusion on day 0 (3.40 ± 1.83 to 0.03 ± 0.07, 3.35 ± 2.02 to 0.37 ± 0.49), and these levels remained low for at least 70 days (0.03 ± 0.05, 0.31 ± 0.47). All pharmacokinetic parameters of huCD25mAb seemed similar to those of daclizumab. The two-dose huCD25mAb regimen was as effective as daclizumab in rapidly achieving high therapeutic concentration in the treated patients, and a significant decrease of CD3−CD25+ and CD3+CD25+ lymphocytes was demonstrated. This suggests that two-dose regimen is feasible in maintaining host immunosuppression and may provide an effective and economical strategy for reducing incidence of acute graft rejection.Key words: CD25, pharmacokinetics, kidney transplantation, enzyme immunoassay, flow cytometry, monoclonal antibody 相似文献

In order to study the host immune response to tumours, previous knowledge of the cellular composition of regional draining
lymph nodes is necessary. Enlarged regional lymph nodes are a common finding in colon and gastric adenocarcinomas. We have
studied the cellular composition of normal non-reactive and of regional draining lymph nodes of colon and gastric adenocarcinomas.
In normal non-reactive lymph nodes, T lymphocytes (CD2+, CD7+) constituted the largest fraction of the lymphoreticular cells. These lymphocytes were mainly CD4+, and there were more cells expressing the CD45RA isoform of the CD45 antigen than CD45RO. Reactive lymph nodes presented
a decreased proportion of CD4+ CD45RA+ cells and an increased number of B cells. Although most of the T cells in the reactive nodes were CD4+ CD45RO+, their proportion was similar to that found in normal non-reactive nodes. We studied the presence of the molecules CD28 and
CD80 involved in the processes of interaction and activation of T and B lymphocytes. The CD28 molecule was found in all the
T lymphocytes, while the CD80 molecule was weakly expressed on the B lymphocyte membrane.

In this study we have established culture conditions that allow the preferential and rapid expansion of either T cell receptor (TCR)+/CD3+16? T lymphocytes or TCR?/CD3?16? natural killer (NK) cells, or the non-selective outgrowth of both subsets. Optimal proliferation of lymphocytes was obtained using a combination of irradiated allogeneic peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) and irradiated Epstein Barr virus (EBV) transformed lymphoblastoid B cell lines (B-LCL). Addition of 1μg/ml leucoagglutinin to the culture medium induced a preferential outgrowth of TCR?/CD3?16? T lymphocytes. The proportion of TCR?/CD3?16? NK cells was decreased to 5% or less, although still a 2000-fold multiplication of TCR?/CD3?16? NK cells was obtained at day 13. Without leucoagglutinin a 1000-fold increase of about 70% pure TCR?/CD3?16? NK cells was obtained at day 13. Intermediate concentrations of leucoagglutinin (0.1–0.3μg/ml) resulted in a non-selective expansion of both NK cells and T cells. Irrespective whether leucoagglutinin was added or not, the number of TCR+/CD3+8+ lymphocytes increased more rapidly relative to the TCR+/CD3+4+ lymphocytes resulting in an increased TCR+/CD3+8+ population size. Also under limiting dilution conditions leucoagglutinin increased the frequency of proliferating cells. In contrast to the preferential outgrowth of TCR+/CD3+8+ lymphocytes in bulk cultures, approximately 80% of the clones generated was TCR+/CD3+4+, demonstrating a growth promoting effect of TCR+/CD3+4+ lymphocytes on TCR+/CD3+8+ lymphocytes in PBL bulk cultures. 相似文献

Background
CD8+Foxp3+ T lymphocytes have been detected in tumors. However, the distribution, phenotypic features, and regulation of these cells in gastric cancer remain unknown.Methods
The levels of CD8+Foxp3+ T lymphocytes in the peripheral blood, tumor-draining lymph nodes, non-tumor tissues, and tumor tissues of patients with gastric cancer were detected by flow cytometry. Foxp3 induction in CD8+Foxp3? T cells was investigated in vitro. The suppressive function of CD8+Foxp3+ T lymphocytes was analyzed by their effect on CD4+ T-cell proliferation and IFN-γ production. The percentages of CD8+Foxp3+ T lymphocytes were evaluated for the association with tumor stage.Results
The frequency of CD8+Foxp3+ T lymphocytes in tumor tissues was significantly higher than that in non-tumor tissues, and similar results were also observed in tumor-draining lymph nodes compared with peripheral blood. Most intratumoral CD8+Foxp3+ T lymphocytes were activated effector cells (CD45RA?CD27?). TGF-β1 levels were positively correlated with the frequency of CD8+Foxp3+ T lymphocytes in tumor tissues, and in vitro TGF-β1 could induce the generation of CD8+Foxp3+ T lymphocytes in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, intratumoral CD8+Foxp3+ T lymphocytes suppressed the proliferation and IFN-γ production of CD4+ T cells. Finally, intratumoral CD8+Foxp3+ T lymphocytes were significantly increased with tumor progression in terms of tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage.Conclusions
Our data have shown that increased intratumoral CD8+Foxp3+ T lymphocytes are associated with tumor stage and potentially influence CD4+ T-cell functions, which may provide insights for developing novel immunotherapy protocols against gastric cancer. 相似文献16.
Expression of variable exon A-, B-, and C-specific CD45 determinants on peripheral and thymic T cell populations. 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

A mAb (I/24) has been generated that is specific for a determinant on mouse CD45 molecules. Reactivity of this mAb with a panel of CD45 transfected cell lines demonstrated that the determinant recognized is dependent upon expression of one or more CD45 variable exons and that exon C is sufficient for its expression. The exon C-specific epitope detected by I/24 is expressed at high density on essentially all B lymphocytes and at an intermediate density on the vast majority of CD8+ splenic T cells. Two distinct subpopulations of CD4+ splenic T cells were detected, a minor subpopulation that expresses this exon determinant at high density and a major subpopulation that expresses it at a much lower density. This first identification of a CD45RC-specific reagent allowed a comparison of the expression of exon A-, exon B-, and exon C-specific determinants on peripheral and thymic lymphoid populations. When splenic lymphocytes were analyzed for expression of CD45RA (reactive with mAb 14.8), CD45RB (reactive with mAb 23G2 or mAb 16.A), and CD45RC (reactive with mAb I/24) determinants, it was found that each of these CD45 determinants had a distinct pattern of expression on CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and B cells. CD45RB and RC epitopes were also detected at high density on a small proportion (0.7 to 4.1%) of thymocytes. Both CD45RB and RC epitopes were found predominantly on CD4-CD8- and CD4-CD8+ thymocytes but were also found on small numbers of CD4+CD8+ and CD4+CD8- cells. The population of thymocytes that expressed CD45RB and CD45RC determinants displayed a novel TCR CD3 phenotype characterized by a level of expression that was intermediate between that seen in the larger CD3 bright and CD3 dull populations of thymocytes. 相似文献

Polyclonal activation of human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs)in vitro by preparations ofStreptococcus pyogenes Su strain (OK-432) and other heat-killed strains was investigated. The streptococcal preparations tested induce a proliferative response of PBLs via interleukin-2 (IL-2)-independent pathways. The proliferative response is accompanied by the generation of lymphoblastic cells (LBCs), which consist of heterologous lymphocyte populations: CD4+ helper type of T cells, and CD4–CD8– double-negative (DN) lymphocytes, including both CD3+ TcR
+ T cells and CD2+CD3– immature type of T or non-T cell type of lymphocytes. Almost all the LBCs express Leu19, TfR (transferrin receptor), LFA-1 and CD38 (OKT10) antigens, which are expressed on activated T cells, NK cells and some other lymphocytes. The proliferative response of human PBLs is also accompanied by the generation of potent cytotoxic activity against NK-sensitive and -resistant targets. C-dependent cytolysis and cell sorting experiments of OK-432-activated LBCs revealed that both CD3+ and CD3– types of CD4–CD8– DN lymphocytes, but not CD4+ helper T cells, may be major populations responsible for the cytotoxicity induced. On the other hand, CD4–CD8 T cells may be required for the proliferation of PBLs and generation of cytotoxic effector cells. These results suggest that the OK-432 and other streptococcal preparations stimulate the human PBLsin vitro to induce the proliferation/activation of CD4+ T cells, mediating the following generation of DN cytotoxic effector lymphocytes. 相似文献

Summary A murine anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibody (mAb), F1, (IgG2a) was produced against the variable part of the T-cell receptor for antigen (Ti, /) on the tumor cells of a patient with T-cell chronic lymphatic leukemia (CD3+, 8+, 4–). The molecular weight of the protein reactive with mAb F1, comodulation and coprecipitation with anti-CD3 antibody, and the restricted tumor-cell reactivity strongly support the anti-idiotypic nature of mAb F1. MAb F1 also stained 4% of peripheral blood lymphocytes of healthy donors. MAb F1 did not stimulate the tumor cells to DNA synthesis, but stimulated a fraction of the normal peripheral blood lymphocytes, mAb F1 did not mediate antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity or complement lysis to any significant degree in vitro. Three infusions of 1–10 mg anti-idiotypic mAb were given over a period of 4 weeks. The plasma half-life for mAb F1 was 3 h in the first 2 h after infusion and 44 h from 2 h to 120 h after infusion. After each treatment a rapid decrease of circulating tumor cells was seen. During the observation period an 80% reduction of the total circulating tumor cells was noted. After the second infusion, IgM and IgG antimouse antibodies were detected. Side-effects from therapy were fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, tachycardia, increase in systolic blood pressure and shortness of breath. Thus, in T-cell malignancies a major reduction of circulating tumor cells can be accomplished by low doses of anti-idiotypic mAb. Anti-idiotypic mAb might be a therapeutic agent of significant importance. 相似文献

The migration routes of lymphocyte subsets through organ compartments are of importance when trying to understand the local events taking place during immune responses. We have therefore studied the traffic of B, T, CD4+, and CD8+ lymphocytes through lymph nodes and Peyer's patches. At various time points after injection into the rat, labeled lymphocytes were localized, and their phenotype characterized in cryostat sections using immunohistochemistry. Morphometry was also performed, and the recovery of 51Cr-labeled lymphocytes in these organs was determined. B and T lymphocytes entered the lymph nodes via the high endothelial venules in similar numbers. Most B lymphocytes migrated via the paracortex (T cell area) into the cortex (B cell area), and then back in substantial numbers into the paracortex. In contrast, T lymphocytes predominantly migrated into the paracortex and were rarely seen in the cortex. No obvious differences were seen between various lymph nodes and Peyer's patches and the routes of CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes. After injection of lymphocytes into animals with autotransplanted splenic tissue, the number of B lymphocytes that had migrated into the B cell area of lymph nodes and of Peyer's patches was significantly decreased, whereas CD4+ lymphocytes migrated in larger numbers into the T cell area of both organs.This study was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemein-schaft (SFB 244, A7). 相似文献

Cytotoxic T cells infiltrating a glioma express an aberrant phenotype that is associated with decreased function and apoptosis 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
In this study, we report on novel alterations found in rat intracranial (i.c.) tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes (TIL) that
are indicative of T cell defects and death. FACS analysis showed that the cytotoxic T cells (CTL) infiltrating rat T9.F gliomas
were CD3ɛ+, αβTCR+, CD8α
+, but CD8β
−. These lymphocytes also stained positive for the B cell-specific marker, CD45RA, as well as Annexin-V, signifying apoptotic
changes. Functional and biochemical analyses were performed to assess whether the aberrant phenotype was linked to other defects.
When CD8α
+ TIL were purified and stimulated in vitro, their proliferative capacity was markedly diminished in comparison with CD3+CD8α
+CD8β
+ T cells isolated from the spleens of naive, non tumor-bearing rats. Furthermore, the mean fluorescence intensity of surface
CD3ɛ was dramatically reduced in the CD3+CD8α
+CD8β
− TIL population as compared with CD3+CD8α
+CD8β
+ TIL from the same tumor-bearing animal. Biochemical studies revealed that the expression of TCRζ and LAT were reduced in
lysates generated from CD8α-purified TIL with respect to CD8α-purified T cells from naive spleen. We believe that these degenerative changes are reflective of chronic T cell receptor
ligation, because in vitro culture of rat splenocytes or purified T cells with ConA or anti-CD3 mAb induced the same alterations.
In vitro, the downregulation of CD8β could be inhibited by the caspase inhibitor, z-VAD. These results suggest that the aberrant CTL phenotype found in the TIL
of glioma-bearing rats may be novel signals for their impending death and degenerating anti-tumor immune function.
