We have determined the effect of anti-CD4 or anti-CD8 monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatment from birth on the generation of the lpr CD4- CD8- double-negative (DN) T cell subset and on the development of lupus-like autoimmune syndrome in MRL-lpr/lpr mice. Both anti-CD4 and anti-CD8 mAb treatments resulted in a marked inhibition of lymph-adenopathy, whereas the development of the lpr DN T cells and of the lupus-like autoimmune syndrome strikingly differed in these two groups of mice. The treatment with anti-CD8 mAb almost completely blocked the appearance of the lpr DN T cells without any significant effect on the development of lupus-like autoimmune syndrome in MRL-lpr/lpr mice. In contrast, mice treated with anti-CD4 mAb failed to develop a lupus-like syndrome, while they still developed the lpr DN T cell subset, the predominant population in their lymph nodes, although absolute numbers were markedly diminished. Our results support the idea that CD8+ T cells are a major source of the lpr DN T cells, and that the lpr DN T cells play a minor, if any, role in the pathogenesis of lupus-like autoimmune syndrome in MRL-lpr/lpr mice.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008180 Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.

D015704 CD4 Antigens 55-kDa antigens found on HELPER-INDUCER T-LYMPHOCYTES and on a variety of other immune cell types. They are members of the immunoglobulin supergene family and are implicated as associative recognition elements in MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX class II-restricted immune responses. On T-lymphocytes they define the helper/inducer subset. T4 antigens also serve as INTERLEUKIN-15 receptors and bind to the HIV receptors, binding directly to the HIV ENVELOPE PROTEIN GP120.
