摘要
The invention disclosed relates to CD8+ T cell response against a model antigen, Ovalbumin (Ova¿257-264?) expressed by Listeria monocytogenes (LM, inducing an acute infection, 7 days) versus Mycobacterium bovis (BCG, inducing a chronic infection, 150 days). Lower doses of both pathogens induced stronger bacterial growth but weaker T cell memory indicating that memory correlates with pathogen dose but not with bacterial expansion. LM-Ova induced a rapid effector response followed by a rapid, but massive attrition. BCG-Ova on the other hand, induced a slower, but chronic, effector response followed by a gradual decline thereafter. CD8?+¿ T cell response induced by BCG-Ova was highly dependent on pathogen-persistence as removal of BCG-Ova by antibiotics compromised CD8+ T cell frequency suggesting that persistence of antigen is important for protective CD8+ T cell memory. In spite of a stronger initial T cell response with LM-Ova, BCG-Ova provided more effective tumor (B16Ova) control at both local and distal sites due to the induction of a persistently activated acquired and a more potent innate immunity. Thus, the state of memory CD8+ T cells rather than the number of memory CD8+ T cells is important for tumor control and expression of tumor antigens in BCG represents an ideal strategy for ensuring the maintenance of memory CD8+ T cells in a persistently activated state. Additionally, the expression of anti-apoptotic and memory promoting cytokine IL-15 by BCG results in continuous IL-15 expression in vivo and further enhancement of CD8+ T cell memory.
