Descrição: Recent evidence indicates that T cells primed via the indirect pathway of allorecognition play an important role in allograft rejection, although the effector mechanisms remain unknown. The purpose of this study was to characterize and study the in vivo function of self-restricted MHC allopeptide-specific T-cell clones generated from animals undergoing allograft rejection. We generated self-restricted class II MHC allopeptide-specific T-cell clones from the spleen and kidney of Lewis (LEW; RT1l) rats undergoing acute rejection of MHC-incompatible Wistar Furth (WF; RT1u) renal allografts. RT1.Du/beta20-44 peptide-specific CD4+ T helper 1 clones from the spleen and kidney of rejecting animals expressed a restricted T cell receptor (TCR) Vbeta repertoire: Vbeta4, 8.2, or 9. In comparison, clones generated from RT1.Dubeta20-44 immunized LEW rats all expressed TCR Vbeta9. The amino acid sequence of RT1.Dl (LEW) and RT1.Du (WF) residues 20-44 differ only at positions 30 and 38. T-cell clones expressing TCR Vbeta9 preferentially proliferated to the peptide fragment RT1.Dubeta20-33. T-cell clones expressing TCR Vbeta4 proliferated weakly to peptide fragments RT1.Dubeta20-33 and 31-44, whereas those expressing TCR Vbeta8.2 proliferated preferentially to the peptide fragment 31-44. Adoptive transfer of T-cell clones expressing TCR Vbeta9 or Vbeta8.2, but not Vbeta4, to naive LEW animals elicited significant delayed-type hypersensitivity responses after challenge with the RT1.Dubeta20-44 peptide or allogeneic WF (RT1u) splenocytes. This is the first report on the cellular, molecular, and functional characterization of self-restricted MHC allopeptide-specific T-cell clones from animals undergoing acute rejection. Our data provide support for a biologically significant role of indirect allorecognition in allograft rejection.
