pubmed:abstractText
Heat-stable antigen (HSA/J11d/possibly homologous to CD24), a cell adhesion molecule capable of providing a co-stimulatory signal for T cell proliferation, is expressed on B cells, activated T cells, monocytes, granulocytes, Langerhans cells and thymocytes. Recent studies have demonstrated that co-stimulatory signals provided by cell adhesion molecules such as B7-1 play an essential role in generation of an anti-tumor immune response. To examine whether the co-stimulatory signal provided by HSA can induce an anti-tumor immune response, we have transfected HSA cDNA into the murine melanoma cell line K1735M2, and examined the ability of this transfected cell line to induce tumor-specific T cell responses. The results demonstrate that spleen cells from mice immunized with HSA-transfected K1735M2 cells showed enhanced T cell proliferation in a mixed lymphocyte tumor reaction (MLTR) assay and also demonstrated a significant anti-tumor cytotoxicity to the parent tumor cell (K1735M2). This anti-tumor cytolytic activity could be abrogated by pretreatment of effector cells with anti-mouse CD8 monoclonal antibody and complement. Under similar conditions, spleen cells from C3H mice immunized with vector-transfected K1735M2 cells neither actively proliferate in an MLTR assay, nor did they exert significant cytolytic activity against the respective tumor cells. In summary, our study demonstrated that HSA can provide a co-stimulatory signal for the T cell immune response against tumor cells in a murine model.
