By antisense-mediated inhibition of CD8 expression in T cell clones and expression of CD8 in non-T cell lines, we have produced several sets of CD8+/CD8- paired cell lines. These cellular reagents have allowed us to assess the effect of CD8 surface expression on the immunogenic potential of stimulator cells. We found that the presence of CD8 on stimulator cells markedly decreased their capacity to stimulate proliferative responses or to induce the generation of cytotoxic activity. The CD8 alpha chain, in the absence of the beta chain, was sufficient to mediate this inhibitory effect. Our findings support the notion that CD8 functions as an immunoregulatory ligand and that auxiliary cell surface molecules on stimulator cells can have profound effects on the immunogenic capabilities of these cells.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007959	Lymphocyte Culture Test, Mixed	Measure of histocompatibility at the HL-A locus. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from two individuals are mixed together in tissue culture for several days. Lymphocytes from incompatible individuals will stimulate each other to proliferate significantly (measured by tritiated thymidine uptake) whereas those from compatible individuals will not. In the one-way MLC test, the lymphocytes from one of the individuals are inactivated (usually by treatment with MITOMYCIN or radiation) thereby allowing only the untreated remaining population of cells to proliferate in response to foreign histocompatibility antigens.

D008213	Lymphocyte Activation	Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D002460	Cell Line	Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely.	Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D003602	Cytotoxicity, Immunologic	The phenomenon of target cell destruction by immunologically active effector cells. It may be brought about directly by sensitized T-lymphocytes or by lymphoid or myeloid "killer" cells, or it may be mediated by cytotoxic antibody, cytotoxic factor released by lymphoid cells, or complement.

D000945	Antigens, Differentiation, T-Lymphocyte	Antigens expressed on the cell membrane of T-lymphocytes during differentiation, activation, and normal and neoplastic transformation. Their phenotypic characterization is important in differential diagnosis and studies of thymic ontogeny and T-cell function.
