Experimental data suggest that negative selection of thymocytes can occur as a result of supraoptimal antigenic stimulation. It is unknown, however, whether such mechanisms are at work in mature CD8+ T lymphocytes. Here, we show that CD8+ effector cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) are susceptible to proliferative inhibition by high dose peptide antigen, leading to apoptotic death mediated by TNF-alpha release. Such inhibition is not reflected in the cytolytic potential of the CTL, since concentrations of antigen that are inhibitory for proliferation promote efficient lysis of target cells. Thus, although CTL have committed to the apoptotic pathway, the kinetics of this process are such that CTL function can occur before death of the CTL. The concentration of antigen required for inhibition is a function of the CTL avidity, in that concentrations of antigen capable of completely inhibiting high avidity CTL maximally stimulate low avidity CTL. Importantly, the inhibition can be detected in both activated and resting CTL. Blocking studies demonstrate that the CD8 molecule contributes significantly to the inhibitory signal as the addition of anti-CD8 antibody restores the proliferative response. Thus, our data support the model that mature CD8+ CTL can accommodate an activation signal of restricted intensity, which, if surpassed, results in deletion of that cell.

A region of rat cytochrome P450IA1 at residues 294-301 (Gln-Asp-Arg-Arg-Leu-Asp-Glu-Asn), equivalent to a proinhibitory region of cytochrome P450IA2, was identified by sequence alignment. Anti-peptide antibodies were successfully raised when the peptide was coupled through either its N- or its C-terminus to carrier protein, but no antibodies were produced against the so-called multiple peptide antigen, which consisted of eight copies of the peptide attached through its C-terminus to a synthetic base. Both of the anti-peptide antibodies bound specifically to cytochrome P450IA1 in the rat, as shown by e.l.i.s.a. and immunoblotting. They inhibited microsomal aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity and the mutagenic activation of 2-acetylaminofluorene (these reactions are catalysed by cytochrome P450IA1), but not high-affinity phenacetin O-de-ethylation activity, which is catalysed by cytochrome P450IA2. However, there was differences in the properties of the two antisera in their binding to cytochromes P450IA1 in species other than the rat, their relative binding to the multiple peptide antigen, the yield of antibody following affinity purification using peptide coupled through its N-terminus to CNBr-activated Sepharose, and the binding of the purified preparations to N- and C-terminal-coupled peptide conjugates. These observations indicated that the antibodies were directed to the region of the peptide opposite to the end which was coupled to the carrier protein. Nevertheless, both of the antibody preparations bound equally well to the target cytochrome P450, thus indicating that, in the native protein, the whole of the peptide region is exposed on the surface of cytochrome P450IA1 and is available for binding by the antibodies. The role of this region appears to be the same in both cytochromes P450IA1 and P450IA2, despite the difference in its primary structure in the two cytochromes P450.

Antigen Presenting

Because of the low frequency of T cells for any particular soluble protein antigen in unprimed animals, the requirements for naive T cell responses in specific antigens have not been clearly delineated and they have been difficult to study in vitro. We have taken advantage of mice transgenic for the V beta 3/V alpha 11 T cell receptor (TCR), which can recognize a peptide of cytochrome c presented by IEk. 85-90% of CD4+ T cells in these mice express the transgenic TCR, and we show that almost all such V beta 3/V alpha 11 receptor-positive cells have a phenotype characteristic of naive T cells, including expression of high levels of CD45RB, high levels of L-selectin (Mel-14), low levels of CD44 (Pgp-1), and secretion of interleukin 2 (IL-2) as the major cytokine. Naive T cells, separated on the basis of CD45RB high expression, gave vigorous responses (proliferation and IL-2 secretion) to peptide antigen presented in vitro by a mixed antigen-presenting cell population. At least 50% of the T cell population appeared to respond, as assessed by blast transformation, entry into G1, and expression of increased levels of CD44 by 24 h. Significant contributions to the response by contaminating memory CD4+ cells were ruled out by demonstrating that the majority of the CD45RB low, L-selectin low, CD44 high cells did not express the V beta 3/V alpha 11 TCR and responded poorly to antigen. We find that proliferation and IL-2 secretion of the naive CD4 cells is minimal when resting B cells present peptide antigen, and that both splenic and bone marrow-derived macrophages are weak stimulators. Naive T cells did respond well to high numbers of activated B cells. However, dendritic cells were the most potent stimulators of proliferation and IL-2 secretion at low cell numbers, and were far superior inducers of IL-2 at higher numbers. These studies establish that naive CD4 T cells can respond vigorously to soluble antigen and indicate that maximal stimulation can be achieved by presentation of antigen on dendritic cells. This model should prove very useful in further investigations of activation requirements and functional characteristics of naive helper T cells.

Soluble foreign antigen usually leads to a transient clonal expansion of antigen-specific T cells followed by the deletion and/or functional inactivation of the cells. As interleukin (IL)-10 is a key immunoregulatory cytokine, we questioned whether neutralization of IL-10 during priming with soluble antigen could prime for a subsequent T helper cell type 1 (Th1) effector recall response. By using an adoptive transfer model to track the fate of antigen-specific T cell receptor (TCR)-transgenic CD4+ T cells, we show that administration of soluble ovalbumin (OVA) protein, but not OVA323–339 peptide antigen, together with an anti–IL-10 receptor (R) mAb led to the enhancement of a Th1 response upon rechallenge. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) present in the protein was necessary for priming for Th1 recall responses in the presence of anti–IL-10R mAb, as removal of LPS abrogated this effect. Moreover, addition of LPS to the peptide did not itself allow priming for recall Th1 effector responses unless endogenous levels of IL-10 were neutralized with an anti–IL-10R mAb. A significant increase in OVA-specific IgG1 and IgG2a isotypes was observed when the protein antigen was administered with anti–IL-10R mAb; however, this was not the case with peptide antigen administered together with anti–IL-10R and LPS. Our data, showing that LPS receptor signaling and neutralization of endogenous immunosuppressive cytokines is essential for Th1 priming, has important implications for the design of relevant vaccines for effective in vivo immunotherapy.
