Induction of an allogeneic cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response is dependent, in part, on uptake and processing of the class I alloantigen by antigen-presenting cells and subsequent Ia-restricted recognition of the alloantigen by helper T cells, resulting in lymphokine production. The nature of the antigen-processing event has been investigated using reconstituted membranes to replace the antigen-presenting cells in the generation of a secondary allogeneic CTL response. Membranes were isolated from an Iad-positive antigen presenting B cell lymphoma (D2N), detergent solubilized and then reconstituted together with affinity-purified H-2Kk antigen in the presence of protease inhibitors. These reconstituted vesicles, containing both syngeneic Ia and alloantigen, were able to induce the helper T cell arm of the CTL response in cultures depleted of antigen-presenting cells. A variety of control experiments provided strong evidence that the helper T cells recognized the H-2Kk, probably in its native form, in an Ia-restricted manner on the vesicles, while the pre-CTL can directly recognize H-2Kk. Recognition was only effective if both the Ia and alloantigen were inserted into the same membrane bilayer. The results strongly suggest that the obligatory antigen processing event required for helper T cell recognition of alloantigen is simply the insertion of the alloantigen into the same membrane bilayer as the syngeneic Ia restricting element.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000938 Antigen-Presenting Cells A heterogeneous group of immunocompetent cells that mediate the cellular immune response by processing and presenting antigens to the T-cells. Traditional antigen-presenting cells include MACROPHAGES; DENDRITIC CELLS; LANGERHANS CELLS; and B-LYMPHOCYTES. FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS are not traditional antigen-presenting cells, but because they hold antigen on their cell surface in the form of IMMUNE COMPLEXES for B-cell recognition they are considered so by some authors.

D000949 Histocompatibility Antigens Class II Large, transmembrane, non-covalently linked glycoproteins (alpha and beta). Both chains can be polymorphic although there is more structural variation in the beta chains. The class II antigens in humans are called HLA-D ANTIGENS and are coded by a gene on chromosome 6. In mice, two genes named IA and IE on chromosome 17 code for the H-2 antigens. The antigens are found on B-lymphocytes, macrophages, epidermal cells, and sperm and are thought to mediate the competence of and cellular cooperation in the immune response. The term IA antigens used to refer only to the proteins encoded by the IA genes in the mouse, but is now used as a generic term for any class II histocompatibility antigen.

D013602 T-Lymphocytes, Cytotoxic Immunized T-lymphocytes which can directly destroy appropriate target cells. These cytotoxic lymphocytes may be generated in vitro in mixed lymphocyte cultures (MLC), in vivo during a graft-versus-host (GVH) reaction, or after immunization with an allograft, tumor cell or virally transformed or chemically modified target cell. The lytic phenomenon is sometimes referred to as cell-mediated lympholysis (CML). These CD8-positive cells are distinct from NATURAL KILLER CELLS and NATURAL KILLER T-CELLS. There are two effector phenotypes: TC1 and TC2.
