Allotype- or idiotype-specific CD4+ T cells have been reported to recognize immunoglobulin (Ig) peptides presented by class II molecules. In contrast, few data are available concerning the generation of Ig peptide-specific CD8+ T cells. We have therefore investigated whether T-depleted spleen cells from Ig kappa light chain-expressing 129/Sv mice (129 kappa +/+) could induce, in C kappa knockout mice (129 kappa -/-), the generation of Ig constant kappa light chain region (C kappa)-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). The determination of TCR beta chain expressed by nine CTL clones, together with the use of a library of overlapping peptides spanning the whole C kappa sequence, show that the B cells from kappa +/+ mice are able to elicit in C kappa knockout mice, the emergence of a diverse CTL repertoire that recognizes one single C kappa peptide presented by the H-2Kb class I molecule. In addition, these data support the notion that B cells are able to process and present on their class I molecules, peptides generated from their own kappa light chains.
