Ex Vivo IFN-{gamma} Secretion by Circulating CD8 T Lymphocytes: Implications of a Novel Approach for T Cell Monitoring in Infectious and Malignant Diseases1

To elucidate the functional heterogeneity of Ag-specific T lymphocyte populations, we combined labeling of lymphocytes with MHC/peptide tetramers and a cell surface affinity matrix for IFN-{gamma}. Magnetic cell sorting of IFN-{gamma}-positive lymphocytes allowed the selective enrichment and identification of live Ag-specific cytokine-secreting cells by flow cytometry. Naive, memory, and effector Ag-specific populations were evaluated in healthy HLA-A2 individuals. Significant fractions of influenza- and CMV-specific cells secreted IFN-{gamma} upon challenge with cognate peptide, consistent with an effector/memory status. The sensitivity of the approach allowed the detection of significant numbers of CMV-specific IFN-{gamma}-secreting cells ex vivo (i.e., without Ag stimulation). This was not apparent when using previously described assays, namely, ELISPOT or intracellular IFN-{gamma} staining (cytospot). CD8+ T cells specific for the melamoma-associated Ag Melan-A/MART-1 did not produce IFN-{gamma} upon challenge with cognate peptide, reminiscent with their naive functional state in healthy individuals. In contrast, CD45RAlow Melan-A/MART-1 tumor-specific cells from three of three melanoma patients presented levels of activity similar to those found for influenza- or CMV virus-specific lymphocytes, compatible with a functional differentiation into competent effector/memory T lymphocytes in vivo. Notably, a sizable fraction of Melan-A/MART-1-specific cells from a patient secreted IFN-{gamma} ex vivo following peptide-based vaccination. Thus, the high sensitivity of the assay provides a valuable tool to monitor effector T cell responses in different clinical situations.
