| Popis: | The modulation of expression of CD80 and CD86 on T cells following infection with human T lymphotropic virus (HTLV)-I/II and its functional importance in T-T cell interactions was examined. Infection with HTLV-I/II leads to constitutive expression of CD80 and CD86, concomitant to down-modulation of CD28 on T cells. The CD80/CD86+ HTLV-infected T cells stimulated proliferation of allogeneic and autologous resting T cells, which could be specifically blocked by a soluble CTLA-4Ig chimeric protein, anti-CD80 or anti-CD86, but not by anti-CD54. It was necessary to inhibit interaction with both ligands (CD80 and CD86) to optimally block HTLV-mediated proliferation of allogeneic and autologous resting T cells. Simultaneous addition of anti-CD8O and anti-CD86 Abs also inhibited production of IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, and IL-4, with no effect on IL-10 production, for both allo- and autologous T cell proliferation. Further, there was a direct correlation between the spontaneous proliferation of lymphocytes from patients infected with HTLV-II and expression of CD80, which could be blocked by simultaneous addition of anti-CD80 and anti-CD86. Taken together, these results suggest that HTLV-infected CD80/CD86+ T cells serve as APCs, leading to a sustained proliferation of T cells, and that both ligands participate in allostimulation, autologous proliferation, as well as spontaneous proliferation of HTLV-II-infected PBMC. |
