    Abstract: To compare outcomes of bone marrow transplants for leukemia from HLA-identical siblings, haploidentical HLA-mismatched relatives, and HLA-matched and mismatched unrelated donors. PATIENTS A total of 2,055 recipients of allogeneic bone marrow transplants for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) were entered onto the study. Transplants were performed between 1985 and 1991 and reported to the International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry (IBMTR). Donors were HLA-identical siblings (n = 1,224); haploidentical relatives mismatched for one (n = 238) or two (n = 102) HLA-A, -B, or -DR antigens; or unrelated persons who were HLA-matched (n = 383) or mismatched for one HLA-A, -B, or -DR antigen (n = 108). HLA typing was performed using serologic techniques. RESULTS Transplant-related mortality was significantly higher after alternative donor transplants than after HLA-identical sibling transplants. Among patients with early leukemia (CML in chronic phase or acute leukemia in first remission), 3-year transplant-related mortality (+/-SE) was 21% +/- 2% after HLA-identical sibling transplants and greater than 50% after all types of alternative donor transplants studied. Among patients with early leukemia, relative risks of treatment failure (inverse of leukemia-free survival), using HLA-identical sibling transplants as the reference group, were 2.43 (P 〈 .0001) with 1-HLA-antigen-mismatched related donors, 3.79 (P 〈 .0001) with 2-HLA-antigen-mismatched related donors, 2.11 (P 〈 .0001) with HLA-matched unrelated donors, and 3.33 (P 〈 .0001) with 1-HLA-antigen-mismatched unrelated donors. For patients with more advanced leukemia, differences in treatment failure were less striking: 1-HLA-antigen-mismatched relatives, 1.22 (P = not significant [NS]); 2-HLA-antigen-mismatched relatives, 1.81 (P 〈 .0001); HLA-matched unrelated donors, 1.39 (P = .002); and 1-HLA-antigen-mismatched unrelated donors, 1.63 (P = .002). CONCLUSION Although transplants from alternative donors are effective in some patients with leukemia, treatment failure is higher than after HLA-identical sibling transplants. Outcome depends on leukemia state, donor-recipient relationship, and degree of HLA matching. In early leukemia, alternative donor transplants have a more than twofold increased risk of treatment failure compared with HLA-identical sibling transplants. This difference is less in advanced leukemia.

    Abstract: Non-MHC-restricted killer cells are cytotoxic lymphocytes that can mediate cytolysis of most tumor targets without apparent selectivity and restriction by the MHC, particularly when activated with IL-2. These effector cells include predominantly NK cells and T cells expressing the TCR-gamma/delta. We found that TCR-gamma/delta-1+, delta TSC1-, BB3+, Ti gamma A+ T cell clones mediate a characteristic cytolytic pattern of non-MHC-restricted cytolysis that is markedly different from NK clones and alpha/beta T cell clones derived from the peripheral blood of the same normal individuals. The characteristic finding is that all BB3/Ti gamma A+ gamma/delta clones mediate strong cytolysis of Daudi cells but they do not lyse Raji cells. In contrast, NK clones from the same donors mediate strong cytolysis of both Daudi and Raji targets. Cytotoxicity by the gamma/delta clones on certain target cells such as Daudi and Molt 4 can be specifically inhibited by mAbs reactive against the TCR-gamma/delta. Therefore, the TCR-gamma/delta on these clones either directly recognizes target epitopes on some tumor targets or it is involved in the regulation of their cytotoxic function. The expression of TCR-gamma/delta products reacting with the BB3 and Ti gamma A mAbs reflects the usage of identical TCR-gamma/delta V region genes that appear to be associated with the characteristic pattern of non-MHC-restricted cytotoxicity displayed by this major subset of human peripheral blood gamma/delta cells.

    Abstract: Human V gamma 9/V delta 2 T cells, the major subset of gamma/delta T cells in peripheral blood of adults, mediate proliferative and cytotoxic responses to Daudi Burkitt's lymphoma cells without previous in vitro exposure to Daudi. Our experiments show that some gamma/delta T cells coexpressing V gamma 9 and V delta 1 genes also react to Daudi cells in cytotoxic and proliferative assays. Expression of V gamma 9 is not sufficient for the recognition of Daudi cells because most gamma/delta T cells expressing V delta 1 paired with V gamma 9 or other V gamma genes neither kill Daudi cells nor proliferate to Daudi. V gamma 9/V delta 2 T cells do not proliferate to other cell lines such as K562 or Molt4 that are sensitive to MHC-unrestricted cytolysis by NK cells and by most IL-2-activated gamma/delta T cell clones. Cold target inhibition assays demonstrate that Daudi cells are stronger inhibitors than K562 and Molt4 of MHC-unrestricted lysis by V gamma 9/V delta 2 clones. However, cold Daudi cells are relatively weaker inhibitors of MHC-unrestricted lysis by NK cell clones, most gamma/delta T cell clones expressing V delta 1 and alpha/beta T cell clones. Thus, recognition by V gamma 9/V delta 2 T cells and certain V gamma 9/V delta 1 T cells of Daudi appears to involve a specific triggering pathway that is distinct from recognition by these gamma/delta T cells of Molt4, K562, and other target cells. NK cell clones and most other gamma/delta and alpha/beta T cell clones derived from the same normal volunteer blood donors do not show this specific interaction with Daudi cells. These data show that distinct subsets of human gamma/delta T cells recognize Daudi cells and support the idea that the gamma/delta TCR may be directly involved.

    Abstract: HLA-loss variants of an EBV-transformed B lymphoblastoid cell line (EBV-LCL) 721 were used to investigate whether human MHC molecules other than known class I or class II were involved in autologous T cell responses. Bulk lymphocyte cultures of purified T cells primed to an autologous variant EBV-LCL that fails to express HLA-class II and has reduced cell surface HLA-class I expression, and oligoclonal TCR-gamma delta-bearing lines derived from them, could lyse both this EBV-LCL and an independently derived, class II expressing autologous variant EBV-LCL that bears no HLA-A, -B, or -C, suggesting the presence of additional HLA-like restriction elements. Cold target inhibition of cytolysis mediated by these lines indicated that a shared or cross-reactive MHC controlled restriction element other than the known MHC determinants was retained by the EBV-LCL variants. Single-cell derived clones from these T cell lines which expressed only the TCR-gamma delta showed this same target cell specificity pattern, proving recognition of MHC-controlled determinants by autologous gamma delta T cells. Anti-gamma delta antibody could inhibit cytolysis by the gamma delta-expressing lines, suggesting that the TCR-gamma delta was involved in recognition of the EBV-LCL targets. Flow cytometric analysis with separate HLA-reactive antibodies indicated that the restriction element for these cytolytic responses is a molecule serologically cross-reactive with HLA-B and -C Ag, yet is a determinant that cannot be HLA-A, -B, -C, -DR, -DQ or -DP.

    Abstract: Human and murine lymphocyte populations differentiate into lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells after in vitro or in vivo exposure to interleukin 2 (IL 2). LAK cells mediate destruction of neoplastic tissue in vitro and have been reported to spare normal tissue. However, systemic toxicity is observed in mice and patients receiving IL 2 infusions. Some aspects of this toxicity are similar to that seen in graft-vs-host disease, suggesting that IL 2 may cause an immune-mediated destruction of normal tissues. We have evaluated this issue by examining the destructive potential of fresh human lymphocytes cultured in media containing highly purified recombinant human IL 2. In the absence of any exogenous antigen or allogeneic stimulating cells, strong proliferative responses were induced after 6 days of exposure to IL 2. Lymphocytes harvested from these 6-day cultures were highly cytotoxic to K562 and Daudi target cells. These IL 2-activated cells were also cytotoxic against autologous and allogeneic normal lymphocyte target cells. This autologous lymphocyte destruction was detected in media containing autologous serum and was directly dependent on the concentration of IL 2 added to the cultures. These studies demonstrate that populations of IL 2-activated lymphocytes, containing LAK activity, can mediate low-level but significant destruction of normal lymphocytes in vitro.

    Abstract: The primed lymphocyte test (PLT) was utilized to investigate the biologic relationship between alloantigens and soluble environmental antigens. Human lymphocytes primed in vitro to the soluble antigens Candida (CAN), Tetanus (TET), or Purified Protein Derivative of Tuberculin (PPD) gave a strong proliferative response when restimulated with the initial soluble antigen in the presence of irradiated peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) acting as antigen-presenting cells (APC). Surprisingly, the soluble antigen-primed cells as well as alloantigen-primed cells responded to other soluble antigens in the presence of APC. By testing primed cells with supernatants derived from irradiated lymphocytes plus soluble antigen, it was apparent that the responses observed were in part due to stimulation by a soluble factor produced by the irradiated "APC" in response to the soluble antigen rather than to recognition of widespread cross-reactivity by the primed cells. This "nonspecific" factor production could be diminished by increasing the dose of irradiation to the APC or by using a T lymphocyte depleted- (SRBC-E-) APC population. In addition, certain antigen-reactive T cell clones did not respond to the nonspecific factor to the same degree as the primed bulk cultures. Nevertheless, the recognition of nonspecific stimulation induced by factors produced by irradiated lymphocytes is critical in the interpretation of primed lymphocyte responses to alloantigens or soluble antigens.
