A comprehensive analysis of human alloimmune cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) specific for the HLA-A2 antigen identified 11% of HLA-A2 positive cells as outliers. In total, 11 unrelated serologically indistinguishable, but distinguishable by cell-mediated lympholysis (CML) HLA-A2 positive outlier cell

β¦ Synopsis
Human alloimmune cytotoxic T cells, sensitized selectively against the HLA-A2 antigen, were tested on a panel of selected target cells. Five HLA-A2 positive outlier cells could be identified. These outlier cells were only weakly lysed by HLA-A2 specific CTLs, although they were serologically indistinguishable from the other HLA-A2 positive, strongly lysed target cells. Furthermore, it was found that the outlier cells were poor cold target inhibitors in contrast to the other HLA-A2 positive target cells, which showed adequate inhibition of specific lysis of HLA-A2 positive target cells. Population studies indicate that the frequency of such HLA-A2 outlier cells may be approximately 10%.

Objective. The association of reactive arthritis (ReA) with HLA-B27 and the presence of bacterial antigen in joints with ReA suggest that bacterial peptides might be presented by the HLA-B27 molecule and thus stimulate CD8 T cells. This study was performed to investigate the B27-restricted cytotoxic
Previous studies have shown that self-antigens overexpressed in malignant tissue can provide a basis for a tumorspecific immune response. The mucin MUC2 is strongly overexpressed in all mucinous tumors of colon, breast, ovary and pancreas. In the corresponding normal tissue it is either not expresse
