摘要: The immune response to embryonic stem (ES) cells is still poorly understood. In this study, we addressed the adaptive cellular undifferentiated and differentiated ES infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), a vertically transmitted pathogen in mice humans. contrast prevailing view, found that murine express MHC class I molecules, although at low levels. When cocultured LCMV-infected cells, syngeneic but not allogeneic LCMV-specific CTL secrete IFN-γ. Strikingly, do efficiently kill cells. showed high-level expression of serine protease inhibitor 6, an endogenous CTL-derived cytotoxic effector molecule granzyme B. Down-regulation serpin-6 by RNA interference sensitized for CTL-induced cell death. results study suggest present viral Ags are recognized I-restricted manner, yet resist CTL-mediated lysis through 6.
