T-T cell interaction in the induction of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses: vaccinia virus-reactive helper T cell activity involved in enhanced in vivo induction of DTH responses and its application to augmentation of tumor-specific DTH responses
Abstract
The role of antigen-specific helper T cells in augmenting the in vivo development of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses was investigated. C3H/HeN mice were inoculated i.p. with vaccinia virus to generate virus-reactive helper T cell activity. These vaccinia virus-primed or unprimed mice were subsequently immunized subcutaneously (s.c.) with either trinitrophenyl (TNP)-modified syngeneic spleen cells (TNP-self), vaccinia virus-infected spleen cells (virus-self), or cells modified with TNP subsequent to virus infection (virus-self-TNP). Seven days later, these mice were tested for anti-TNP DTH responses either by challenging them directly with TNP-self into footpads or by utilizing a local adoptive transfer system. The results demonstrated that vaccinia virus-primed mice failed to generate significant anti-TNP DTH responses when s.c. immunization was provided by either virus-self or TNP-self alone. In contrast, vaccinia virus-primed mice, but not unprimed mice, could generate augmented anti-TNP DTH responses when immunized with virus-self-TNP. Anti-vaccinia virus-reactive helper activity was successfully transferred into 600 R x-irradiated unprimed syngeneic mice by injecting i.v. spleen cells from virus-primed mice. These helper T cells were found to be antigen specific and were mediated by Thy-1+, Lyt-1+2- cells. DTH effector cells enhanced by helper T cells were also antigen specific and were of the Thy-1+, Lyt-1+2- phenotype. Furthermore, vaccinia virus-reactive helper T cell activity could be applied to augment the induction of tumor-specific DTH responses by immunization with vaccinia virus-infected syngeneic X5563 tumor cells. T-T cell interaction between Lyt-1+ helper T cells and Lyt-1+ DTH effector T cells is discussed in the light of the augmenting mechanism of in vivo anti-tumor-specific immune responses.
