In vitro primary induction of cytotoxic T cells against virus-infected syngeneic cells. 1977

R V Blanden, and U Kees, and M B Dunlop

An in vitro method is described for primary induction of murine cytotoxic T cells against syngeneic cells infected with ectromelia or lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM) virus. Cytotoxicity was assayed by 51Cr release from macrophage or L929 target cells. Cytotoxic activity was sensitive to anti-theta and complement and was expressed only against target cells infected with the same virus and sharing H-2K or H-2D genes with the infected stimulator cells. The crucial factors in generating responses were mouse strain, responder: stimulator ratio, nature of infected stimulator cells, and presence of sufficient macrophages. C57BL/6 cells were less demanding than CBA/H and BALB/c cells. Under optimal conditions defined here, the in vitro response had similar kinetics and potency to the primary response in the spleen in vivo.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008216 Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis A form of meningitis caused by LYMPHOCYTIC CHORIOMENINGITIS VIRUS. MICE and other rodents serve as the natural hosts, and infection in humans usually occurs through inhalation or ingestion of infectious particles. Clinical manifestations include an influenza-like syndrome followed by stiff neck, alterations of mentation, ATAXIA, and incontinence. Maternal infections may result in fetal malformations and injury, including neonatal HYDROCEPHALUS, aqueductal stenosis, CHORIORETINITIS, and MICROCEPHALY.

D008217 Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus The type species of ARENAVIRUS, part of the Old World Arenaviruses (ARENAVIRUSES, OLD WORLD), producing a silent infection in house and laboratory mice. In humans, infection with LCMV can be inapparent, or can present with an influenza-like illness, a benign aseptic meningitis, or a severe meningoencephalomyelitis. The virus can also infect monkeys, dogs, field mice, guinea pigs, and hamsters, the latter an epidemiologically important host. LCM Viruses,LCMV,LCM Virus,Lymphocytic choriomeningitis viruses
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.
