Abstract: | The CD154/CD40 interaction is an important pathway of CD4 T cell help for CD8 T cell responses. In this study, we address the role of CD70, a member of the TNF superfamily and the ligand for the T cell costimulatory receptor CD27, in CD40-mediated priming of CD8 T cells. Using an agonistic anti-CD40 mAb to mimic the CD154/CD40 interaction we demonstrate that the priming of OT-I TCR transgenic or endogenous mouse OVA-specific CD8 T cells is critically dependent on CD70/CD27 interaction. CD70 blockade inhibited CD40-mediated clonal expansion of CD8 T cells and reduced the number of memory CD8 T cells generated. Furthermore, CD70 blockade during the initial priming of CD8 T cells inhibited the ability of memory CD8 T cells to expand in response to a second encounter with Ag. Our data indicate that CD70 expression on APCs plays a key role in CD40-dependent CD8 T cell responses. |
