It has been demonstrated that 
T cells accumulating in early
tumor lesions and those purified from spleen cells of tumor-bearing
mice attenuate the activity of CTLs and NK cells. We, therefore,
investigated whether depletion of 
T cells from early lesions of
tumors results in restoration of CTL and NK cell activities and
subsequent regression of tumors. A daunomycin-conjugated
anti-
TCR mAb UC7-13D5 (Dau-UC7) was prepared to efficiently
deplete 
T cells. An in vitro study revealed that Dau-UC7
specifically lysed 
TCR+ cells and effectively
inhibited splenic 
T cells from tumor-bearing mice to produce
cytotoxic cell-suppressive factors. Furthermore, intralesional
injections of Dau-UC7 at an early stage of tumor development led to
augmentation of tumor-specific CTL as well as NK cell activities and to
the resultant regression or growth inhibition of the tumors. On
analysis of cytokine profile, 
T cells transcribed mRNAs for
IL-10 and TGF-ß, but not IL-4 or IFN-
, suggesting the T regulatory
1-like phenotype. Finally, a blocking study with mAbs showed that the
inhibitory action of 
T cells on CTLs and NK cells was at least
partly mediated by IL-10 and TGF-ß. These results clearly
demonstrated the novel mechanism by which T regulatory 1-like 
T
cells suppress anti-tumor CTL and NK activities by their regulatory
cytokines in early tumor formation.
