Human CD8 T-cells Recognizing Peptides from () Presented by HLA-E Have an Unorthodox Th2-like, Multifunctional, Inhibitory Phenotype and Represent a Novel Human T-cell Subset

English version České info

Pathogens like Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) are recognized by human T-cells following their presentation in HLA molecules. HLA class I molecules can be divided into two types, classical as well as non-classical HLA molecules. Here we studied the non-classical HLA family member, HLA-E, which displays only minimal genetic variation between individuals and is relative resistant to down modulation by HIV infection. We have characterized the T-cells that recognize Mtb in the context of HLA-E in detail and found that these human CD8+ T-cells had unexpected, unorthodox properties: in contrast to most classical CD8+ T-cells, the T-cells activated by HLA-E uniquely produced Th2 (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) instead of the usual Th1 cytokines, and were able to activate B-cells and induced cytokine production by these B-cells. Moreover, these HLA-E restricted CD8+ T-cells inhibited Mtb growth inside cells, an important property to contribute to resolution of the infection. Thus these T-cells represent a new player in the human immune response to infection, and add B-cell activation to the key pathways following infection with Mtb.
