The signals directing induction of tolerance rather than immunity are largely unknown. The CD8 T cell response to soluble Ags generally results in deletional tolerance following transient, costimulation-dependent activation. We demonstrated that CD40 signaling reversed the outcome of this response. Adoptive transfer of OVA-specific CD8 T cells followed by soluble OVA immunization resulted in induction of lytic activity and optimal clonal expansion only when CD40 was triggered via an agonistic mAb. Activation of CD8 T cells by CD40 signaling was indirect, because CD40 expression by host cells was required. CD40 signaling along with soluble Ag immunization also induced expansion of secondary lymphoid and intestinal mucosal endogenous OVA-specific CD8 T cells as detected by MHC tetramer reactivity. When CD40 activation was included, long-lived secondary lymphoid and mucosal memory CD8 cells were generated from adoptively transferred and endogenous CD8 T cells. Mucosal and peripheral CD8 memory cells exhibited constitutive Ag-specific lytic activity, with mucosal memory cells being 10-fold more lytic than splenic or lymph node memory cells. These results demonstrated that CD40 signaling during a response to a poorly immunogenic soluble Ag was necessary and sufficient for CTL and memory T cell induction.
