Antigen-presenting cell function in induction of helper T cells for cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responses: evidence for antigen processing. 1981

O Weinberger, and S Herrmann, and M F Mescher, and B Benacerraf, and S J Burakoff

We demonstrate that splenic adherent cells (SACs) play an active role in the presentation of H-2Kk antigen for an alloreactive cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response. If antigen is incubated with SACs for 12 hr, they will provide maximal stimulation and present the antigen in the context of their Ia molecules. UV irradiation of these SACs, prior to the 12-hr incubation with H-2Kk antigen, abrogates this stimulatory capacity. Macrophage-bound antigen is not sufficient for stimulation of a response; a second signal is required as well, that, in our system, is provided by phorbol myristic acetate. The SACs are involved in the activation of helper T cells; however, they are not required for presentation of antigen to the precytotoxic T-lymphocyte, which requires two signals for activation, one provided by antigen and the other by a T-cell-derived helper factor.

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.

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.

D000941 Antigens Substances that are recognized by the immune system and induce an immune reaction. Antigen
D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.

D014466 Ultraviolet Rays That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum immediately below the visible range and extending into the x-ray frequencies. The longer wavelengths (near-UV or biotic or vital rays) are necessary for the endogenous synthesis of vitamin D and are also called antirachitic rays; the shorter, ionizing wavelengths (far-UV or abiotic or extravital rays) are viricidal, bactericidal, mutagenic, and carcinogenic and are used as disinfectants.
