Graft rejection after T cell-depleted HLA-genotypically identical bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is probably mediated by mH antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). We have analyzed peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from a female bone marrow graft recipient, collected during graft rejection after a sex mismatched HLA-identical BMT. A CTL line was generated by stimulating recipient PBMC collected during graft rejection with donor PBMC and donor EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines. From this CTL line a large number of clones of different specificity and phenotype was established by limiting dilution. These clones exhibited several mH antigen specificities, restricted by HLA-B7, -B27 or -DR2 as shown by differential recognition of family members and unrelated individuals sharing potential restriction elements. The CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ bulk culture was cloned, resulting in 50 HLA-B7 restricted CD3+CD4-CD8+CTL clones, three HLA-B27 restricted CD3+CD4-CD8+CTL clones, one HLA-DR2 restricted CD3+CD4+CD8-CTL clone and two additional HLA class II restricted CD3+CD4+CD8-CTL clones with a different specificity. One representative clone of each specificity was selected for further analysis. The CTL line and the HLA-B7 restricted CD8+CTL clone, but not the HLA class II restricted CD4+ CTL clone, inhibited the growth of donor hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC). In conclusion, these results show that graft rejection after HLA-identical BMT may be mediated by multiple CTL clones that specifically recognize one mH antigen peptide presented by different HLA molecules or different mH antigens expressed on donor cells and that CTL, but not CD4+ CTL inhibited donor HPC growth.

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. Clone cells also include populations of recombinant DNA molecules all carrying the same inserted sequence.

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.

D006680 HLA Antigens Antigens determined by leukocyte loci found on chromosome 6, the major histocompatibility loci in humans. They are polypeptides or glycoproteins found on most nucleated cells and platelets, determine tissue types for transplantation, and are associated with certain diseases.

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
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.

D015464 Leukemia, Myelogenous, Chronic, BCR-ABL Positive Clonal hematopoetic disorder caused by an acquired genetic defect in PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS. It starts in MYELOID CELLS of the bone marrow, invades the blood and then other organs. The condition progresses from a stable, more indolent, chronic phase (LEUKEMIA, MYELOID, CHRONIC PHASE) lasting up to 7 years, to an advanced phase composed of an accelerated phase (LEUKEMIA, MYELOID, ACCELERATED PHASE) and BLAST CRISIS.
