## Abstract Foxp3^+^ Treg are crucial for the maintenance of self‐tolerance and have been shown to control CD8^+^ T‐cell effector functions. In addition, Treg are thought to control the priming of CD8^+^ T cells, which recognize the same antigens as Treg. Taking advantage of our model of peripheral

✦ Synopsis
Specific lysis by CD8' T cells of Schwann cells expressing Mycobacterium leprae antigens*
In vitro cultured murine Schwann cells which were devoid of class I and class I1 gene products of the major histocompatibility complex expressed class I, though not class 11, antigens after stimulation with recombinant interferon-y. Recombinant 1FN-ystimulated Schwann cells after priming with M. leprue were lysed by antigen-specific CD8' T lymphocytes in vitro. These findings suggest that specific lysis of M . lepraeinfected Schwann cells by CD8' CTL plays a role in leprosy.

## Abstract There is a growing body of evidence which suggests that CD8^+^ T cells play an important part in regulating the IgE response to non‐replicating antigens. In this study we have systematically investigated their role in the regulation of IgE and of CD4^+^ T cell responses to ovalbumin (OV
## Abstract Human tumor cells expressing ganglioside GD2 were lysed by various effector populations targeted with an anti‐CD3‐anti‐GD2 bi‐specific antibody (BAb CD3 x GD2). This antibodyheteroconjugate was prepared by chemically cross‐linking the OKT‐3 monoclonal antibody (MAb) reactive with CD3 an
