PG - 1659-71 AB - Dendritic cells (DCs) play an essential role in the induction of immune responses to pathogen infections. Native DCs are difficult to obtain in large numbers and consequently the vast majority of DCs employed in all experiments are derived from bone marrow progenitors. In an attempt to solve this problem, we have established a novel CD8alpha(+) DC line (H-2(k)) from spleen, which we have named SRDC line, and which is easy to culture in vitro. These cells display similar morphology, phenotype and activity to CD4(-)CD8alpha(+)CD205(+)CD11b(-) DCs purified ex vivo. Toxoplasma gondii antigen was shown to be taken up by these cells and to increase class I and class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC), CD40, CD80 and CD86 surface expression. We report that vaccination with T. gondii antigen-pulsed SRDCs, which synthesize large amounts of interleukin-12, induced protective immune responses against this intracellular pathogen in syngeneic CBA/J mice. This protection was associated with strong cellular and humoral immune responses at systemic and intestinal levels. Spleen and mesenteric lymph node cell proliferations were correlated with a Th1/Th2-type response and a specific SRDC homing to spleen and intestine was observed. The SRDC or CD4(-)CD8alpha(+)CD205(+)CD11b(-) DC line can be expected to be a very useful tool for immunobiology studies of DC.
