Limited T-Cell-Stimulating Effect of Cytochalasin-B-Induced Membrane Vesicles Isolated from Artificial Antigen-Presenting Cells
Artificial antigen-presenting cells (aAPCs) that stably express particular HLA and co-stimulatory molecules by gene transfer have been developed to effectively stimulate T cells.

Sumario: | Artificial antigen-presenting cells (aAPCs) that stably express particular HLA and co-stimulatory molecules by gene transfer have been developed to effectively stimulate T cells. To investigate whether cytochalsin-B-induced membrane vesicles derived from aAPCs (AP-CIMVs) have similar antigen-presenting functions as a cell-free system, T cell responses to different types of antigen presentation were measured using Jurkat reporter cells. First, the aggregation of AP-CIMV, which affects the measurement of function, was inhibited by nuclease treatment to produce uniform AP-CIMVs. The Green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression in Jurkat reporter cells was induced in a dose-dependent manner in groups stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody-coated AP-CIMVs and aAPCs, and anti-CD3/CD28 Dynabead. When Jurkat reporter cells expressing specific T cell receptors were stimulated by AP-CIMVs and aAPCs loaded with CMV pp65 peptide, AP-CIMVs showed similar stimulatory effects to that by aAPC. However, when these Jurkat reporter cells were stimulated by aAPCs endogenously expressing CMV pp65 antigen and their AP-CIMVs, the GFP expression rate by AP-CIMVs was 8.4%, which was significantly lower than 53.2% by aAPCs. Although this study showed a limited T-cell-stimulating effect of AP-CIMVs on endogenously processed antigen presentation, these results provide useful information for the development of improved cell-free systems for T cell stimulation in the future. |
