Recent studies in mice have shown that although IL-15 plays an important role in regulating homeostasis of memory CD8+ T cells it has no apparent function in controlling homeostatic proliferation and survival of naive T cells. We here assessed the influence of IL-15 on antigen-independent expansion and differentiation of human CD8+ T cells. Both naive and primed human T cells divided in response to IL-15. In this process, naive CD8+ T cells successively down-regulated CD45RA and CD28 but maintained CD27 expression. Concomitant with these phenotypic changes, naive cells acquired the ability to produce IFN- and TNF- , expressed perforin and granzyme B and acquired cytotoxic properties. Primed CD8+ T cells, from both non-cytotoxic (CD45RA-CD27+) and cytotoxic (CD45RA+CD27-) subsets, responded to IL-15 and yielded ample numbers of cytokine-secreting and cytotoxic effector cells. In summary, all human CD8+ T-cell subsets had the ability to respond to IL-15, which suggests a generic influence of this cytokine on CD8+ T-cell homeostasis in man.
