CD8+ T cells are important for immunity to the intracellular bacterial pathogen Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cpn). Recently, we reported that type 1 CD8+ (Tc1) from Cpn-infected B6 mice recognize peptides from multiple Cpn Ags in a classical MHC class Ia-restricted fashion. In this study, we show that Cpn infection also induces nonclassical MHC class Ib-(H2-M3)-restricted CD8+ T cell responses. H2-M3-binding peptides representing the N-terminal formylated sequences from five Cpn Ags sensitized target cells for lysis by cytolytic effectors from the spleens of infected B6 mice. Of these, only peptides fMFFAPL (P1) and fMLYWFL (P4) stimulated IFN-gamma production by infection-primed splenic and pulmonary CD8+ T cells. Studies with Cpn-infected Kb-/-/Db-/- mice confirmed the Tc1 cytokine profile of P1- and P4-specific CD8+ T cells and revealed the capacity of these effectors to exert in vitro H2-M3-restricted lysis of Cpn-infected macrophages and in vivo pulmonary killing of P1- and P4-coated splenocytes. Furthermore, adoptive transfer of P1- and P4-specific CD8+ T cells into naive Kb-/-/Db-/- mice reduced lung Cpn loads following challenge. Finally, we show that in the absence of MHC class Ia-restricted CD8+ T cell responses, CD4+ T cells are largely expendable for the control of Cpn growth, and for the generation, memory maintenance, and secondary expansion of P1- and P4-specific CD8+ T cells. These results suggest that H2-M3-restricted CD8+ T cells contribute to protective immunity against Cpn, and that chlamydial Ags presented by MHC class Ib molecules may represent novel targets for inclusion in anti-Cpn vaccines.
