چکیده
T cells play a central role in the initiation, maintenance, and regulation of the immune response. Effector responses of T cells are controlled by complex combinations of lymphokines and adhesion/costimulatory molecule signals. To isolate the effects of specific adhesion/costimulatory molecules and to define the minimal molecular requirements of naive CD8+ T cell activation, we have developed an APC-free system for stimulation of naive CD8+ T cells. In this report, we demonstrate that immobilized MHC class I-peptide complexes can activate naive CD8+ T cells from TCR transgenic mice at low cell densities. The CD8+ T cells were stimulated to proliferate and secrete IL-2 independently of the molecular interactions between CD28/B7.1-B7.2 or LFA-1/ICAM-1 surface receptors. Previous reports have shown that CD28 ligation is necessary for late T cell survival of APC-stimulated naive CD8+ T cells. Our data suggest that under certain specific conditions of high intensity T cell signaling, early activation and late cell proliferation can occur independently of APC-derived costimulatory signals.

Signaling pathways activated by leukocyte function-associated Ag-1-dependent costimulation.
LFA-1 binding to ICAM-1 can enhance TCR-dependent proliferation of T cells, but it has been difficult to distinguish contributions from increased adhesion, and thus TCR occupancy, versus costimulatory signaling. Whether LFA-1 ligation results in generation of a unique costimulatory signal(s) distinct from those activated by the TCR has been unclear. Using purified ligands, it is shown that ICAM...
متن کاملTransfected Drosophila cells as a probe for defining the minimal requirements for stimulating unprimed CD8+ T cells.
Stimulation of naive T cells by antigen-presenting cells (APC) is thought to involve two qualitatively different signals: signal one results from T-cell receptor (TCR) recognition of antigenic peptides bound to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, whereas signal two reflects contact with one or more costimulatory molecules. The requirements for stimulating naive T cells were studie...
متن کاملA new dynamic model of CD8+ T effector cell responses via CD4+ T helper-antigen-presenting cells.
A long-standing paradox in cellular immunology has been the conditional requirement for CD4(+) Th cells in priming of CD8(+) CTL responses. We propose a new dynamic model of CD4(+) Th cells in priming of Th-dependent CD8(+) CTL responses. We demonstrate that OT II CD4(+) T cells activated by OVA-pulsed dendritic cells (DC(OVA)) are Th1 phenotype. They acquire the immune synapse-composed MHC II/...

The role of CD28/B7 and LFA-1/ICAM costimulation in proliferation and Th1/Th2 differentiation of naive CD4+ T cells was addressed using T cells from DO11.10 TCR transgenic mice stimulated by dendritic cells. The blockade of either CD28/B7 or LFA-1/ICAM interactions partially inhibited T cell proliferation. By comparison, blocking CD28/B7 costimulation inhibited IL-4 and IL-5 (Th2 cytokine) prod...
متن کاملThe dependence for leukocyte function-associated antigen-1/ICAM-1 interactions in T cell activation cannot be overcome by expression of high density TCR ligand.
The leukocyte-specific integrin, LFA-1, can enhance T cell activation. However, it is unclear whether the binding of LFA-1 to its ligand, ICAM-1, functions through intercellular adhesion alone, resulting in an augmentation of the TCR signal, or involves an additional LFA-1-mediated cellular signal transduction pathway. We have previously shown that naive CD4+ lymph node T cells, isolated from D...
