We generated cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in vitro using dendritic cells (DC) pulsed with crude CMV antigens (Ag).
Mononuclear cells from healthy CMV-seropositive or seronegative volunteers and from stem cell transplant (SCT) recipients were cultured with CD14(+) monocyte-derived DC prepulsed with CMV Ag and then matured in vitro with lipopolysaccharide and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. After proliferation, cells were checked for phenotype (CD4/CD8), while killing activity was measured by 51Cr-release assay.
CD4(+) T cells, the main proliferating cells from both seropositive and seronegative individuals, killed autologous Ag-pulsed DC but not vehicle-pulsed autologous DC or CMV-pulsed allogeneic DC. Similar CTL induction was accomplished from SCT recipients. Significant killing of autologous CMV-infected fibroblasts required 16-hour incubation as opposed to the standard 4-hour incubation, which was prevented by either a perforin inhibitor or anti-Fas ligand monoclonal antibody. CTL enhanced surface HLA-DR expression of CMV-infected fibroblasts, and their activity was neutralized by anti-HLA-DR monoclonal antibody.
CMV-specific CD4(+) CTL were inducible with or without antiviral humoral immunity, even from immunosuppressed SCT recipients. These CTL showed perforin- and Fas/Fas ligand-mediated cytotoxicity after long-term (16-hour) contact with CMV-infected targets.
我们使用经粗制巨细胞病毒(CMV)抗原(Ag)脉冲处理的树突状细胞(DC)在体外产生了CMV特异性细胞毒性T淋巴细胞(CTL)。
将来自健康CMV血清阳性或血清阴性志愿者以及干细胞移植(SCT)受者的单核细胞与预先用CMV Ag脉冲处理的CD14(+)单核细胞衍生DC一起培养,然后在体外使用脂多糖和肿瘤坏死因子-α使其成熟。增殖后,检查细胞的表型(CD4/CD8),同时通过51Cr释放试验测量杀伤活性。
CD4(+) T细胞是血清阳性和血清阴性个体的主要增殖细胞,可杀伤自体Ag脉冲处理的DC,但不杀伤载体脉冲处理的自体DC或CMV脉冲处理的同种异体DC。从SCT受者中也实现了类似的CTL诱导。与标准的4小时孵育不同,对自体CMV感染的成纤维细胞进行显著杀伤需要16小时的孵育,而穿孔素抑制剂或抗Fas配体单克隆抗体可阻止这种杀伤。CTL增强了CMV感染的成纤维细胞表面HLA-DR的表达,并且其活性被抗HLA-DR单克隆抗体中和。
即使在没有抗病毒体液免疫的情况下,甚至从免疫抑制的SCT受者中也可诱导出CMV特异性CD4(+) CTL。这些CTL在与CMV感染的靶标长期(16小时)接触后表现出穿孔素和Fas/Fas配体介导的细胞毒性。
