MHC-I (Ld)-restricted, S2839-specific CTL responses are efficiently primed in H-2d BALB/c mice injected with low doses of native hepatitis B surface Ag (HBsAg) lipoprotein particles without adjuvants. Priming of this CTL response by exogenous HBsAg required CD4+ T cell "help" and IL-12: this CTL response could be neither induced in mice depleted of CD4+ T cells by in vivo Ab treatment, nor in (CD4+ T cell-competent or CD4+ T cell-depleted) IL-12-unresponsive STAT4-/- knockout BALB/c mice. Codelivery of oligonucleotides (ODN) with immunostimulating CpG sequences (ISS) with exogenous HBsAg reconstituted the CTL response to exogenous HBsAg in CD4+ T cell-depleted normal mice and in CD4+ T cell-competent and CD4+ T cell-depleted STAT4-/- BALB/c mice. Injection (by different routes) of "naked" pCI/S plasmid DNA encoding HBsAg into IL-12-responsive or unresponsive BALB/c mice efficiently primed the MHC-I-restricted, HBsAg-specific CTL response. CTL priming was not detectable when CD4+ T cell-depleted animals were subjected to genetic immunization. In vivo priming of the well-characterized CD8+ CTL response to HBsAg in "high responder" BALB/c mice either by exogenous surface lipoprotein particles or by DNA vaccination is thus CD4+ T cell dependent. CTL priming by exogenous HBsAg, but not by genetic immunization, is IL-12 dependent. The dependence of CTL priming by exogenous HBsAg on CD4+ T cells can be overcome by codelivering ODN with ISS motifs, and this "adjuvants effect" operates efficiently in IL-12-unresponsive mice. The data characterize a feature of the adjuvant effect of ISS-containing ODN on CTL priming that may be of major interest for the design of CTL-stimulating vaccines with efficacy in immunodeficiency conditions.
