Mature CD4-CD8- 
+ T
cells (DNTC) in the periphery of TCR transgenic mice are resistant to
clonal deletion in cognate Ag-expressing (Ag+) mice.
Previously, we have characterized DNTC populations bearing the
alloreactive 2C TCR in Ag-free (Ag-) and Ag+
mice. Despite appearing functionally anergic when challenged with
cognate Ag in vitro, Ag-experienced DNTC exhibit markers of
activation/memory, a lowered threshold of activation, ex vivo cytolytic
activity, and the ability to rapidly secrete IFN-
. Remarkably, these
memory-like DNTC also possess potent immunoregulatory properties,
competing effectively for bystander-produced IL-2 and suppressing
autoreactive CD8+ T cell proliferation via a
Fas/FasL-dependent cytolytic mechanism. The fact that DNTC recovered
from Ag+ mice possess markers and attributes characteristic
of naive CD8+ T cells that have undergone
homeostasis-induced proliferation suggested that they may be derived
from a similar peripheral expansion process. Naive DNTC adoptively
transferred into Ag-bearing hosts rapidly acquire markers and
functional attributes of DNTC that have continually developed in the
presence of Ag. Thus, the peripheral selection and maintenance of such
autoreactive cells may serve to negatively regulate potential
autoimmune T cell responses.
