Abstract

Studies suggested that experimental autoimmune diseases can effectively be prevented and treated by application of normal autoreactive T cells or autoreactive T cells in an attenuated form. In this study, several autoreactive CD4- CD8- T-cell clones (A2, A6, and A13 cells) were isolated for the first time from the draining lymph nodes of Lewis rats with adjuvant arthritis (AA). Surprisingly, intraperitoneal inoculation with A13 cells, but not A2 or A6 cells protected rats from AA both clinically and histologically. It was demonstrated that A13 cells were CD4- CD8- alpha beta T cells, and showed proliferative responses to irradiated syngeneic spleen cells (antigen-presenting cells; APC). Interestingly, A13 cells proliferated against concanavalin A (Con A) and staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), but did not show any proliferation to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mt), or its 65 000 MW heat-shock protein (HSP). Rats protected from AA by inoculation with A13 cells showed a specific anti-idiotypic delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction compared with other autoreactive T cells (A2 or A6 cells). These findings demonstrate that AA can be suppressed by autoreactive CD4- CD8- alpha beta T cells, and these cells may be used as therapeutic agents in experimental autoimmunity.
