Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells are ineffective
antigen-presenting cells (APCs) although CD40-activated CLL cells can
stimulate proliferation of autologous and allogeneic T cells. We
examined the antigen-presenting capacity of CD40-activated CLL cells as
well as dendritic cells pulsed with apoptotic bodies of CLL cells to
generate autologous and allogeneic immune responses against CLL cells.
Both APC types were capable of generating T-cell lines that proliferate
specifically in response to unstimulated CLL cells. Whereas cytotoxic
responses against stimulated and unstimulated CLL cells could be
repeatedly generated by allogeneic healthy donors, autologous cytotoxic
immune responses against CD40-activated and native CLL cells were
rarely detected. However, T cells isolated from patients with CLL could
recognize and lyse allogeneic stimulated and unstimulated CLL cells,
demonstrating that cytotoxic T cells from these tumor-bearing patients
are functionally intact.
