Functional heterogeneity in allospecific cytotoxic T lymphocyte clones. III. Direct correlation between development of syngeneic cytotoxicity and loss of veto activity; implications for the mechanism of veto action. 1989

Two veto active allospecific cytotoxic T-cell clones (CTL), 4A2 and 4B3, were studied for the development of autoreactivity. The 4A2 CTL became autoreactive within 6 days when cultured without appropriate allospecific stimulator cells, whereas the 4B3 CTL retained its alloreactivity without becoming autoreactive when cultured under these conditions. Simultaneously with the development of autoreactivity, the 4A2 CTL lost its veto activity. Limiting dilution cultures of normal allospecific 4A2 CTL cells and autoreactive 4A2 CTL cells and mixtures of both showed that the former CTL cells were capable of inhibiting clonal growth of the autoreactive CTL cells in a dose-dependent manner. We suggest that this growth inhibition reflects veto activity, i.e. cells capable of growing are inhibited by autorecognition of veto active allospecific 4A2 CTL cells. Taken together, the present results indicate that the existence of intraclonal down-regulation of potentially autoreactive cells is a normal feature of allospecific cytotoxic T-cell clones.

D007519 Isoantigens Antigens that exist in alternative (allelic) forms in a single species. When an isoantigen is encountered by species members who lack it, an immune response is induced. Typical isoantigens are the BLOOD GROUP ANTIGENS. Alloantigens,Alloantigen,Isoantigen
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.

D002999 Clone Cells A group of genetically identical cells all descended from a single common ancestral cell by mitosis in eukaryotes or by binary fission in prokaryotes.

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.
