概要:
Extrathymic T cells in mouse liver have TCR of intermediate intensity, contain doublenegative CD4^-CD8^- cells, and comprise forbidden self-reactive oligoclones. In the present study, we investigated how such extrathymic T cells

were modulated during melanoma development in melanoma transgenic mice. Melanoma appeared in various organ of the transgenic mice at 15 wk of age. Extrathymic T cells with TCR of intermediate intensity increased in the liver, as the tumors advanced. Such cells infiltated the tumor lesions. In consequence of this study, it was proved that extrathymic T cells in the liver played important roles in tumor immunity.

概要:
The thymus is the major central organ for T cell differentiation in the body. However attention was recently focused on an association of extrathymic T cells with various immune response. The liver is a major site for such extrathymic T

cell differentiation. Cumulative evidences revealed that extrathymic T cells in the liver comprise cells with TCR of intermediate intensity and contain autoreactive clones. These extrathymic T cells were activated with aging and under conditions of bacterial stimulation and autoimmune diseases. In the present study, it was investigated how regular T cells were activated in mice injected with viable syngeneic tumors. It was demonstrated that specific activation of extrathymic T cells in the liver and acquisition of anti-tumor cytotoxicity were induced in these mice. The present results suggested that extrathymic T cells played an important role on tumor immunity in the host-defense mechanisms.
