Ag-specific CTL can protect against tumors and some viral infections and may be useful for adoptive immunotherapy. Here, we show that purified CD8+ T cells from naive C57BL/6 mice can be primed in vitro with different immunogenic peptides, which bind to MHC class I gene products, and IL-2 to exhibit specific and MHC-restricted effector function in vitro and in vivo protection against lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection and B16.F10 melanoma lung metastases. Limiting dilution assays in the absence of feeder cells with highly purified CD8+ T cells from two transgenic mice strains, each expressing a different MHC class I-restricted TCR, indicated that only peptide and IL-2, but not TCR- cells, were required for the growth of naive CD8+ T cells. These alternative minimal requirements for the activation and expansion of specific CD8+ T lymphocytes, without the need for professional APC, may be exploited for adoptive immunotherapy.
