Both normal mouse bone marrow and cells from T cell-containing colonies grown in vitro from normal bone marrow contain cells which can specifically suppress the development of cytotoxic T lymphocytes capable of recognizing alloantigens on the bone marrow or colony cells. Suppression, as assessed by reduction in cytotoxic activity, is produced by adding bone marrow or colony cells to mixed lymphocyte reactions between lymph node responder cells and irradiated histoincompatible spleen stimulator cells. The cytotoxic activity is reduced if the added bone marrow or colony cells are syngeneic or semisyngeneic to the stimulator cells but not if they are allogeneic. Suppression results from a reduction in the number of cytotoxic lymphocyte precursor cells activated in the cultures. The suppressor cells in bone marrow are radiation sensitive and Thy-1 negative; those in colonies grown from bone marrow are radiation resistant and Thy-1 positive.

Major histocompatibility class I–peptide tetramer technology and simian immunodeficiency virus of macaques (SIVmac)-infected rhesus monkeys were used to clarify the distribution of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in secondary lymphoid organs and to assess the relationship between these CTL and the extent of viral replication in the various anatomic compartments. SIVmac Gag epitope-specific CD8+ T cells were evaluated in the spleen, bone marrow, tonsils, thymus, and 5 different lymph node compartments of 4 SIVmac-infected rhesus monkeys. The average percentage of CD8+ T lymphocytes that bound this tetramer in all the different lymph node compartments was similar to that in peripheral blood lymphocytes in individual monkeys. The percentage of CD8+ T cells that bound the tetramer in the thymus was uniformly low in the monkeys. However, the percentage of CD8+ T cells that bound the tetramer in bone marrow and spleen was consistently higher than that seen in lymph nodes and peripheral blood. The phenotypic profile of the tetramer-binding CD8+ T lymphocytes in the different lymphoid compartments was similar, showing a high expression of activation-associated adhesion molecules and a low level expression of naive T-cell–associated molecules. Surprisingly, no correlation was evident between the percentage of tetramer-binding CD8+ T lymphocytes and the magnitude of the cell-associated SIV RNA level in each lymphoid compartment of individual monkeys. These studies suggest that a dynamic process of trafficking may obscure the tendency of CTL to localize in particular regional lymph nodes or that some lymphoid organs may provide milieus that are particularly conducive to CTL expansion.

Previous experiments in humans and mice have shown that allogeneic donors can serve as a source of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) specific for proteins, such as cyclin-D1 and mdm-2, expressed at elevated levels in tumor cells. In vitro, allo-major histocompatibility complex (MHC)–restricted CTL against these proteins selectively killed allogeneic tumor cells, including lymphoma, but not normal control cells. This suggested that these CTL may be useful for adoptive tumor immunotherapy, provided that they (1) survive in MHC-disparate hosts, (2) maintain their killing specificity, and (3) do not attack normal host tissues. Here, we used cloned allo-restricted CTL isolated from BALB/c mice (H-2d) that killed H-2b–derived tumor cells expressing elevated levels of the mdm-2 target protein. When these CTL were injected into bone marrow transplanted (BMT) C57BL/6 (H-2b) recipients, they consistently engrafted and were detectable in lymphoid tissues and in the bone marrow (BM). Long-term survival was most efficient in spleen and lymph nodes, where CTL were found up to 14 weeks after injection. The administration of CTL did not cause graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) normally associated with injection of allogeneic T cells. These data show that allo-restricted CTL clones are promising reagents for antigen-specific immunotherapy in BMT hosts, because they engraft and retain their specific killing activity without causing GVHD.
