CD28-B7 interactions allow the induction of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the absence of exogenous help
The activation requirements for the generation of CD8+ cytotoxic T cells (CTL) are poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that in the absence of exogenous help, a CD28-B7 interaction is necessary and sufficient for generation of class I major histocompatibility complex-specific CTL. Costimulation is required only during the inductive phase of the response, and not during the effector phase. Tra...
متن کاملInduction of CTL responses by simultaneous administration of liposomal peptide vaccine with anti-CD40 and anti-CTLA-4 mAb.
Activation of APC via CD40-CD40 ligand pathway induces up-regulation of costimulatory molecules such as B7 and production of IL-12. Interaction between B7 on APC and CD28 on naive T cells is necessary for priming the T cells. On the other hand, interaction between B7 on APC and CTLA-4 on activated T cells transduces a negative regulatory signal to the activated T cells. In the present study, we...
متن کاملB7-CTLA4 interaction promotes cognate destruction of tumor cells by cytotoxic T lymphocytes in vivo.
Costimulatory molecules B7-1 and B7-2 (hereby collectively called B7) interact with CD28 and CTLA4 on T cells and promote antitumor immunity. The function of B7-CTLA4 interaction in antitumor CTL response remains controversial. Here we used CD28(-/-) and CD28(+/-) or CD28(+/+) transgenic mice that express the T-cell receptor specific for an unmutated tumor antigen, P1A, and for tumor cells expr...
متن کاملEither B7 costimulation or IL-2 can elicit generation of primary alloreactive CTL.
B7-1 and B7-2 are important costimulatory molecules in the activation of T cell immunity. We have used mice made genetically deficient in either or both B7 molecules to determine the role of B7 molecules in activation of primary alloreactive CTL. The absence of either B7-1 or B7-2 did not alter generation of CTL from unfractionated lymphocytes, but the absence of B7-2 greatly decreased CTL gene...
متن کاملEfficient direct priming of tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte in vivo by an engineered APC.
Although numerous studies have documented a role for B7-1 (CD80) in the induction of antitumor CTL immunity, it is presently unclear to what extent expression of this costimulatory molecule truly endows tumors with significant in vivo APC (antigen-presenting cell) capacity. Recent studies have, in fact, demonstrated that cross-priming, rather than direct priming, may constitute the major mechan...
