A substantial body of evidence indicates that the primary sensitization of naive T cells to inhaled antigens occurs in the regional lymph nodes, whereas secondary responses may be generated directly within lung tissue. Ia+ pulmonary dendritic cells are widely distributed within the rat lung where they can participate in the induction of the immune response to inhaled antigens. Recently, two subsets of Ia+ pulmonary dendritic cells have been distinguished based on their expression of Fc receptors (FcR), but little is known concerning their abilities to support the responses of naive or sensitized T cells. In order to address this question, pulmonary FcR+/- dendritic cells have been purified from enzymatic digests of Lewis rat lungs, based on their differential binding to heat-aggregated immunoglobulin. The FcR+/- dendritic cell subsets differed with respect to their light microscopic appearance and in their expression of non-specific esterase. Only the FcR+ subset was able to phagocytize latex beads and showed intracellular phagolysosomes by electron microscopy. Both of the FcR+/- subsets rapidly formed clusters with naive (OX-22+) and sensitized (OX-22-) T cells. However, the clusters yielded by the FcR+ subset were substantially smaller, possibly reflecting their diminished surface membrane expression of the intercellular adhesion molecule-1. The FcR+/- subsets were capable of presenting soluble and particulate antigens to OX-22- T cells. FcR+ cells were less effective than FcR- cells in promoting the proliferative response of OX-22+ T cells to concanavalin A and in the primary mixed leukocyte reaction. We conclude that the FcR+/- pulmonary dendritic cells differ in their abilities to support the responses of naive and sensitized T lymphocytes. This observation may have significance for how primary and secondary pulmonary cell-mediated immune responses are generated.
