Apoptosis allows the clearance of unwanted cells from living
tissues without causing inflammation. Processing of phagocytosed
apoptotic cells yields Ags that access the cytosol and the MHC class I
pathway of engulfing cells and are recognized by Ag-specific CTL. We
show here that injection of apoptotic RMA cells, a syngeneic T cell
lymphoma, into C57BL/6 mice results in priming of a functional and
long-lasting tumor-specific immune response. Cross-priming of CTLs by
apoptotic cells requires CD4+ T cell help. Apoptotic cells,
however, are at least 20-fold less immunogenic than nonreplicating live
cells. Immunogenicity of apoptotic cells is proportional to the number
of cells injected, correlates with the serum concentration of IL-10 and
IL-1ß cytokines, and is enhanced in IL-10 knockout mice. Moreover,
immunization with dendritic cells (DCs), but not macrophages (M
),
pulsed with apoptotic cells primes tumor-specific CTLs and confers
protection against a tumor challenge. Our findings demonstrate that
tumor cells undergoing apoptosis are, though scarcely, immunogenic in
vivo, outline the different roles of M
and DCs in the physiologic
clearance of unwanted cells, and have implications in designing
immunomodulating vaccines.
