A soluble factor released by CD8+CD57+ lymphocytes from bone marrow transplanted patients inhibits cell-mediated cytolysis.

چکیده
We report a new inhibitory activity of CD8+CD57+ peripheral blood lymphocytes from allo-bone marrow transplant patients. Positively selected CD8+CD57+ lymphocytes act as potent inhibitors of allospecific cytolytic T lymphocyte and lymphokine activated killer cell cytolytic activities. These suppressor cells are mature T cells expressing the CD2, 5, 7, CD3-TcR alpha beta complex, and lack natural killer cell markers as well as cytolytic function. Their inhibitory activity on both cytolytic processes and T-cell proliferation is mediated by a non-antigen-specific soluble factor released by CD8+CD57+ cells in culture supernatants. Preliminary characterization suggests that the CD8+CD57+ cells' inhibitory activity is mediated by a low molecular weight, glycosylated factor as indicated by its less than 1S coefficient of sedimentation and its binding to concanavalin A lectin.

متن کاملClonal predominance of cytomegalovirus-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes in bone marrow recipients.
After lymphocyte-depleted BMT, CD8+ T cells have been expanded to or above normal levels in 45% of the recipients within 3 months. The mechanisms underlying proliferation of donor-derived CD8+ T cells after BMT are still unclear. We investigated whether these CD8+ T cells proliferate in response to specific antigens by determination of TCR clonality and whether these cells exert specific cytoto...

OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to evaluate the dynamics of CD28 and CD57 expression in CD8+ T lymphocytes during cytomegalovirus viremia in bone marrow transplant recipients. METHODS In a prospective study, blood samples were obtained once weekly once from 33 healthy volunteers and weekly from 33 patients. To evaluate the expression of CD57 and CD28 on CD8+ T lymphocytes, flow cytometry a...
متن کاملOligoclonal expansion of CD8+ CD57+ T cells with restricted T-cell receptor beta chain variability after bone marrow transplantation.
A major expansion of CD8+57+ lymphocytes expressing an alpha-beta T-cell receptor (TCR) is frequent after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). We examined the clonality of the TCR beta gene repertoire in these expanded CD8+57+ cells after allogeneic or autologous BMT. We performed a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of the V beta chain usage in CD8+57+ cells purified from nine BMT recipien...
متن کاملCD8hi+CD57+ T lymphocytes are enriched in antigen-specific T cells capable of down-modulating cytotoxic activity.
Major expansions of CD8hi+CD57+ T lymphocytes frequently occur during human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and after transplantation. To investigate mechanisms of such cell expansion, we compared the activation and functional status of CD8hi+CD57+ and CD57-peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from normal, bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and HIV+ donors. The CD8hi+CD57+ PBL from BMT and ...
