Dominant transplantation tolerance impairs CD8+ T cell function but not expansion.
- Abstract:
-
Alloreactive CD8+ T cells may persist in animals made tolerant of transplanted tissues; their function is controlled through continuous censorship by regulatory CD4+ T cells. We sought to establish the stage at which such censorship operates. We found that monospecific CD8+ T cells introduced into tolerant animals responded to the tolerated tissue antigen as if they had received CD4+ T cell "help": they proliferated and accumulated normally. However, they did show compromised graft rejection,...
