Based on the expression of the TNFR SFP CD27, two Ag-primed CD8+ T cell subsets can be discerned in the circulation of healthy individuals: CD27+ T cells that produce a variety of cytokines but do not display immediate cytolytic activity; and cytotoxic CD27 T cells, which secrete only IFN-
and TNF-
. The mechanism that controls the generation of these different phenotypes is unknown. We show that CMV reactivation not only increases the number of virus-specific T cells but also induces their transition from a CD27+ to a CD27 phenotype. In support of a relation between pool size and phenotype in a cohort of latently infected individuals, the number of Ag-specific CD27 CD8+ T cells was found to be linearly related to the total number of CMV-specific CD8+ T cells. In vitro studies revealed that the acquisition of the CD27 phenotype on CMV-specific T cells depended on the interaction of CD27 with its cellular ligand, CD70. Expression of CD70 was proportional to the amount of antigenic stimulation and blocked by the CD4+ T cell-derived cytokine IL-21. Thus, induction of CD70, which may vary in distinct viral infections, appears to be a key factor in determining the size and phenotype of the CMV-specific T cell population in latently infected individuals.
