Development of Antigen-Specific CD8+ CTL in MHC Class I-Deficient Mice through CD4 to CD8 Conversion1
The Journal of Immunology, 2004, 172: 7848-7858.,-0001,():
CD8+ CTL are the predominant tumoricidal effector cells. We find, however, that MHC class I-deficient mice depleted of CD8+ Tcells are able to mount an effective antitumor immunity after immunization with fused dendritic/tumor cells. Such immunity appears to be mediated by the generation of phenotypic and functional CD8+ CTL through CD4+ to CD8+ conversion, which we have demonstrated at the single cell level. CD4+ to CD8+ conversion depends on effective in vivo activation and is promoted by CD4+ T cell proliferation. The effectiveness of this process is shown by the generation of antitumor immunity through adoptive transfer of primed CD4+ Tcells to provide protection against tumor cell challenge and to eliminate established pulmonary metastases.
