IL-15 and the IL-15R chain are both required for the basal proliferation of memory CD8 T cells, but which cell types are required to express IL-15 or IL-15R to mediate this proliferation is not known. Using bone marrow (BM) chimeras, we showed that virus-specific CD8 memory T cell proliferation was driven by IL-15 produced by either BM-derived or parenchymal cells. Experiments using mixed BM chimeras showed that IL-15R expression by memory CD8 T cells was not required for their division. In addition, wildtype memory CD8 T cells did not divide after transfer into IL-15R -/- mice. Further analyses demonstrated that IL-15R + BM-derived cells were crucial in driving memory CD8 T cell division in the spleen while both parenchymal and BM-derived cells promoted memory cell division in the lung. Proliferation in response to soluble IL-15 in vivo required expression of IL-15R by opposing cells and IL-15R by CD8 memory cells, indicating that IL-15 interacted directly with the T cells. These results indicate that trans-presentation of IL-15 by IL-15R on BM-derived cells mediates the basal proliferation of memory CD8 T cells.
