MRL-lpr/lpr mice have hypertrophied lymph nodes comprising CD4-CD8- T cells. In addition, they contain CD4+CD8- T cells co-expressing the CD45RA marker. The correlation between these two subpopulations has been difficult to assess. We analyzed the expression of CD45RA (with the RA3-2C2 antibody) in various thymic and peripheral T cell subsets, using three-color immunofluorescence. We showed that in lpr mice (i) a transient CD4+CD8- thymic subset co-expresses CD45RA during the course of the disease, and (ii) thymic as well as peripheral CD4-CD8- and CD4+CD8- T cells brightly express CD45RA; furthermore (iii) in the lymph nodes, during lymphadenopathy, CD4+CD8-CD45RA+ T cells show a broad range of the CD4 fluorescence intensity, and (iv) the increase in MHC class II expression is restricted to CD45RA-T cells of the thymus and lymph nodes of lpr mice. Taken together, these data suggest that the CD4+CD8-CD45RA+ population might generate the CD4-CD8- tumor cells. In addition, using the bromodeoxyuridine labeling technique, we demonstrate that these cells are not the result of increased proliferation.
