摘要

CD8~+ T lymphocytes play a major role in cellular-mediated immune responses to foreign antigen. We have previously demonstrated that costimulation of purified human CD8~+ T cells induces de novo expression of the CD4 molecule and that ligation of CD4 on this cell type modulates CD8~+ T cell activity in vitro. Herein, we investigate how the CD4 molecule expressed on murine CD8~+ T cells contributes to CD8~+ cell responses in vivo by employing adoptive transfer of CD8 cells from CD4 knockout mice into severe combined immu-nodeficient (SCID) recipients. Transfer of these cells into syngeneic SCID mice resulted in a decreased immune response to infection by lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. These decreased responses occurred even in the presence of CD4~+ T cells, indicating that this was truly a CD8-cell defect. Similarly, transfer of CD8~+ T cells incapable of expressing CD4 into allogeneic SCID mice resulted in a decreased response to alloantigens compared with that of normal CD8~+ T cells. Therefore, CD4 expression on CD8 T lymphocytes modulates cytotoxic T lymphocyte function and is critical in vivo for optimal cell-mediated immunity to viral and alloantigens.
