Research Abstract |
Observation for time course changes of the tumor antigen specific CD8 T-cells after the administration of EG.7 thymoma cells revealed that the CTL activation was maintained for a long term, so it was suggested that the mechanism of the tumor relapse depend on not the host side but the tumor side. Moreover, in the apoptotic cell death of effector CD8T cells in the tumor immune response, it became clear that the signal transduction through Fas-FasL cascade was important, and it through Bcl-2 was not participating. This result is an event that has not been clarified up to now. In addition, in order to analyze the expression profile of Fas-FasL involving the apoptosis of the tumor antigen specific CD8 T-cells, Fas gene targeting mutated OT-I mouse, FasL gene targeting mutated OT-I mouse, and Bcl-2 gene overexpressed OT-I mouse were constructed. Moreover, Fas gene targeting mutated OT-I cell or a normal OT-I cell was transfused to the normal mouse or the Fas gene mutation mouse intravenously, and the chimera mouse wasconstructed.
