title: Isolation of human lymphocyte antigens class I-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes against autologous myeloma cells.
abstract: Peripheral blood T cells from a patient with multiple myeloma in complete remission were selected in vitro against an autologous myeloma cell line (SBN-1), using a protocol designed for the selection of relatively rare precursor cytotoxic T cells (pCTL). Delayed addition (2 weeks) of interleukin 2 induced T-cell proliferation, and a bulk culture (T-cell line) was obtained 2 days later. This T-cell line displayed cytotoxicity against SBN-1. A CD8+ CD4- cytotoxic T-cell clone (CT5) was then obtained that recognized SBN-1 but not autologous EBV+ B-lymphoblastoid cells, autologous T PHA-blasts, or Daudi, Raji, K562, and 11 allogeneic myeloma cell lines. Moreover, CT5 cytotoxic activity against SBN-1 was blocked by monoclonal antibodies recognizing human lymphocyte antigen class I molecules. This seems to be the first demonstration of myeloma-specific pCTL in peripheral blood T cells of patients with multiple myeloma.
