Activation of naive and memory T cells by interleukin-15
H Kanegane and G Tosato
Division of Hematologic Products, Food and Drug Administration, Bethesda,
MD 20852, USA.
Interleukin-15 (IL-15), a product of monocytes and other cells, has
biological activities similar to those of IL-2, including growth
stimulation of activated T cells, induction of cytolytic effector cells,
and B-cell costimulation for proliferation and lg production. We report
that IL-15 at optimal concentrations rapidly induced memory (CD45RO+) CD4+
and CD8+ T cells and naive (CD45RO-) CD8+ T cells to express the CD69
activation marker followed by proliferation. By contrast, IL-15 failed to
induce naive (CD45RO-) CD4+ T cells to express CD69 or to proliferate.
Similar findings were obtained with IL- 2. Unlike the other T-cell subsets,
CD4+ T cells with a naive phenotype expressed little or no IL-2R beta
chain, a shared component of the IL-2 and IL-15 receptors required for
receptor function. A monoclonal antibody to the IL-2R beta chain, Mik beta
1, reduced CD69 expression and proliferation in CD4+ memory, CD8+ memory,
and CD8+ naive T cells activated by IL-15. These results confirm the
biological similarities of IL-2 and IL-15. They further document that the
pool of naive CD4+ cells, unlike the pool of memory CD4+, memory CD8+, and
naive CD8+ cells, is not regulated directly by the T-cell growth factors
IL-2 or IL-15.
