CD8 single-positive (CD8+) T cells in murine intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (iIEL) consist of alpha alpha-CD8+ and alpha beta-CD8+ subpopulations. Cytotoxicity represents an important function of peripheral CD8+ T cells, so we examined perforin-granzymebased and Fas-based cytotoxicity of activated CD8+ TCR-alpha beta+ iIEL subsets. We found that allospecific CTL activity was induced from alpha beta-CD8+ iIEL but not from alpha alpha-CD8+ iIEL even when allospecific TCR were present on the iIEL, as demonstrated by using 2C TCR transgenic mice. On the other hand, both CD8+ iIEL subsets proliferated upon allostimulation with a lower responder frequency than CD8+ LN cells. The alpha alpha-CD8+ TCR-alpha beta+ iIEL appeared to lose their ability to perform perforin-based killing after activation through TCR because fresh cells lysed P815 cells coated with anti-TCR beta-chain (TCR-beta) mAb, whereas cells activated by plate-bound anti-TCR mAb did not. Of interest, both activated CD8+ TCR-alpha beta+ iIEL subsets, but not fresh cells, were able to mediate Fas-based killing when triggered with PMA and CA2+ ionophore.

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.
