Title: Methods for isolating and using a subset of cd8 t-cells that are resistant to cyclosporin
Inventor: JOHNSON RAYMOND M
IPC: C12N5/0783
Filed: 2011-07-25
Abstract: Utilizing a novel T cell culture system based on allogeneic epithelial antigen presenting cells (semi-professional APC), a cyclosporin-resistant CD8 T cell clone with minimal cytolytic capability was isolated. Derivation of the novel alloantigen-specific CD8 T cell clones involved previous priming with an allogeneic skin graft, implying expansion of this T cell subset during transplant rejection. Characterization and comparison of the cyclosporin and rapamycin-resistant CD 8 T cell clone with typical cyclosporin-sensitive CD 8 T cells suggests that it is a member of a CD8 T cell subset with a unique cell surface phenotype and novel TCR activation pathways, and that these unique CD8 T cell clones reflect the immunobiology of chronic rejection within the nonhematopoetic microenvironments of solid organs and vascular walls. These cells express the aryl-hydrocarbon receptor. T-cells of this type are referred to herein as CD8bml2-l T-cells.
