摘要:: It is unknown to what extent the heterogeneity of antigen presenting cells (APC) influences the IFN-gamma response of CD4 memory cells. We re-stimulated DO11.10 T cell receptor (TCR)-transgenic cells and wild-type CD4 memory cells with OVA-peptide 323-339 presented on purified dendritic cells (DC), macrophages, and B cells. Using IFN-gamma ELISPOT assays, we measured the number of cytokine producing T cells and the amount of cytokine produced by individual T cells at different time points after antigen encounter. The data showed that, when CD4 cells recognized antigen on DC, the induction of cytokine production was accelerated compared to macrophages and B cells. In contrast, the per-cell cytokine productivity was independent of the type of APC by which the T cells were re-stimulated. Moreover, the peptide concentration required for CD4 cell activation was comparable for the different APC. The data suggest that DC induce cytokine production in memory cells with accelerated activation kinetics, whereas 24 h of antigen stimulation on DC, macrophages, and B cells results in comparable levels of T cell activation. These data have implications for the understanding of T cell memory responses when T cells re-encounter antigen on different APC as well as for the monitoring of memory T cell responses ex vivo.
