| Research Abstract |
In vivo activity of a long-term cultured T cells specific for antimycobacterial (BCG) or antiparamyxoviral (Sendai virus) antigens was investigated. By repeating more than three cycles of 4 days culture with the antigen and antigen presenting cells followed by 10 days culture of without antigen, a homogeneous T cell population in regard to the surface markers measured by the flow cytometry was obtained and the cell line was propagated before use with the aid of IL-2. BCG-reactive and Sendai virus-reactive T cell lines were obtained. Both lines were L3T4 positive, Lyt 2 negative and proliferated accompanying IL-2 production in antigen specific manner. Both showed positive delayed footpad reaction after the local passive transfer, and thus confirmed to be T ^<DTH> subset. Transferring the BCG-reactive T line cells i.v. into BCG i.v. infected nube mice were produced hepatic infectious granulomas at 2 weeks. When recipients were splenectomized before T cell transfer, numbers of granulomas decreased indicating that transferred T cells reactivated in vivo played an essential role. Thus, it was confirmed that T ^<DTH> subset is responsible for the infectious granuloma formation. In Sendai virus infection, transfer with T ^<DHH> line did show but with a limitted anti-viral activity while co-transfer with Lyt 2 cells showed almost complete clearance of the lung virus. It was suggested that cooperation of T^<DTH> and Lyt 2 T cells is required in the antiviral immunity. Although syngeneic animals are not available, long-term cultured T cells were obtained using TCGF in a cynomologus monkey using blood mononuclear cells for the source of both T cells and APC.
