Abstract
The direct pathway of allorecognition is involved in acute allograft rejection and is characterised by TCR-mediated recognition of the MHC framework; this is thought to occur in a peptide-dependent but not peptide-specific manner. In contrast, the indirect pathway is restricted to the recipient's own MHC molecules and prevails in chronic rejection. In this pathway, the peptide has a major influence on the TCR recognition and selects alloreactive T cells with altered TCR Vbeta usage. However, qualitative analysis of Vbeta usage alone might limit our understanding of alloreactivity. The advantages of a combined quantitative assessment of Vbeta mRNA usage are discussed.

Abstract
The capacity of T cells to interact with nonself-APC, also referred to as direct allorecognition, is an essential feature of the cellular response involved in graft rejection. However, there is no study on TCR repertoire biases associated with direct restricted T cell activation. In this paper, we have addressed the impact of direct recognition on the whole naive T cell repertoire, using a new approach that provides, for the first time, an integrated depiction of the quantitative and qualitative alterations in the TCR Vbeta transcriptome. This method can differentiate resting patterns from polyclonally activated ones, as evidenced by superantigen usage. According to this new readout, we show that direct recognition of nonself-MHC molecules triggers mRNA accumulation of several TCR Vbeta families, specific to the combination studied. Moreover, in marked contrast to the situation that prevails in indirect allorecognition, T cell activation through the direct presentation pathway was not associated with skewing of the complementarity determining region (CDR) 3 length distribution. Altogether, these data argue for the significance of TCR contacts with the MHC framework in direct allorecognition. In addition, the TCR diversity mobilized by this interaction and the massive TCRbeta mRNA accumulation observed after a few days of culture suggest that a significant proportion of naive T cells receive a signal leading to TCRbeta transcriptional activation even though only a few of them engage in mitosis.

Abstract
Alloreactive T cells recognize framework or peptide-dependent determinants on foreign MHC molecules. Among the peptide-dependent alloreactive T cells a significant proportion is specific for one particular peptide presented by the allo-MHC molecule as antigen-specific T cells would do. Such alloreactive, peptide-specific T cells are referred to as 'allorestricted'. High-avidity HLA-A*02 allorestricted cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) clones specific for peptide libraries can be generated from HLA-A*02(-) donors. We made use of this technique to study the role of closely related self-HLA molecules on shaping of the alloreactive T cell repertoire. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from HLA-A*0205 individuals were stimulated by HLA-A*0201 targets pulsed with an HLA-A*0201 peptide library. We did not observe a bias towards peptide-specific CTL in the HLA-A*0201-directed alloreactive repertoire of HLA-A*0205 donors as compared to HLA-A*02(-) donors. Comparison of the alloreactive T cell response between two donors having similar HLA haplotypes demonstrated that the allorestricted T cell repertoire is largely different between individuals.

Abstract
A microbial pathogen species can adapt to its host species to the extent that members of the host species are uniform. Loss of this uniformity would make it difficult for a pathogen species to transfer, from one member of the host species to another, what it had "learned" through selection of its members with advantageous mutations. The existence of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) polymorphism indicates that non-uniformity within a species is an effective host defence strategy. By virtue of this molecular discontinuity among its members the host species can "present a moving target" to the pathogen. Many proteins other than MHC proteins show polymorphism - a phenomenon which has suggested that mutations in regions of protein molecules which do not affect overt function are neutral. However, in the context of the author's differential aggregation theory of intracellular self/not-self discrimination as previously applied to the problem of the antigenicity of cancer cells, such polymorphism should serve for the recruitment of subsets of self-antigens into the antigenic repertoire of an infected cell. These would act as "intracellular antibodies" by virtue of their weak, but specific, aggregation with pathogen proteins. Peptides from the self-antigens, as well as (or instead of) those from the antigens of the pathogen, would then serve as targets for attack by cytotoxic T cells. Thus, polymorphism of intracellular proteins should be of adaptive value, serving to amplify and individualize the immune response to intracellular pathogens.

Abstract
CTL clone 2C recognizes the allogeneic class I MHC molecule L(d) in association with peptides derived from alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDH)), a ubiquitous intracellular protein. One of these peptides, QLSPFPFDL (QL9), elicits more vigorous cytolytic responses than two previously identified naturally processed peptides with overlapping sequences, LSPFPFDL (p2Ca) and VAITRIEQLSPFPFDL (p2Cb), from OGDH. In this study, we show that QL9 forms a more stable complex with cell surface L(d) than does p2Ca or p2Cb and is processed from the longer, naturally occurring peptide p2Cb by 20S proteosomes in vitro. The N-terminal cyclized pyroglutaminyl QL9 (pyroQL9), a form of QL9 to which it is converted at the low pH used for peptide isolation from tissue extracts, is even more active than QL9 in cytotoxicity assays with 2C CTL. Overall, the results indicate that along with the abundant natural peptides p2Ca and p2Cb, the QL9 and other OGDH peptides of various lengths, sharing a conserved C-terminal sequence, are also processed and presented with L(d) as allogeneic ligands for T cells expressing 2C TCR. All these peptides, each available in a low amount, could act in concert at the cell surface, resulting in a high density of cognate ligands that accounts for the exceptionally potent cytolytic response by 2C CTL.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence indicates that a graft-vs.-myeloma effect (GVM) and its associated clinical remission of the disease can be induced by donor lymphocyte infusion in myeloma patients who have relapsed after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Although it is believed that GVM is induced by allospecific T cells, T-cell subsets and the mechanisms involved in the killing of myeloma cells by donor T cells have not been studied. In this study, we generated allospecific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) lines against three different myeloma cell lines, ARK, ARP-1 and U266, from unmatched healthy donors and examined their cytotoxicity against the target cells. Our results demonstrate that the allospecific CTLs efficiently lysed myeloma cells. The observed cytotoxicity was mediated mainly by CD8+ T cells and inhibited by MHC class I-blocking antibody. Furthermore, the CTLs lysed the target cells via the perforin-mediated pathway, as concanamycin A, but not brefeldin A (the selective inhibitors for perforin- or Fas-mediated pathways respectively) or tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-blocking antibody, abrogated the cytolytic activity of the cells. These CTLs expressed and produced predominantly TNF-alpha and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), indicating that they belong to the type 1 T-cell subsets. Taken together, these results indicate that CD8+ allospecific T cells may be responsible for mediating GVM and that the granule-mediated lysis of target cells is the major pathway in the CD8+ T-cell response against myeloma cells.

Abstract
Many T cell receptors (TCRs) that are selected to respond to foreign peptide antigens bound to self major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules are also reactive with allelic variants of self-MHC molecules. This property, termed alloreactivity, causes graft rejection and graft-versus-host disease. The structural features of alloreactivity have yet to be defined. We now present a basis for this cross-reactivity, elucidated by the crystal structure of a complex involving the BM3.3 TCR and a naturally processed octapeptide bound to the H-2Kb allogeneic MHC class I molecule. A distinguishing feature of this complex is that the eleven-residue-long complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) found in the BM3.3 TCR alpha chain folds away from the peptide binding groove and makes no contact with the bound peptide, the latter being exclusively contacted by the BM3.3 CDR3 beta. Our results formally establish that peptide-specific, alloreactive TCRs interact with allo-MHC in a register similar to the one they use to contact self-MHC molecules.
