HLA-A2.1–restricted Education and Cytolytic Activity of CD8+ T Lymphocytes from β2 Microglobulin (β2m) HLA-A2.1 Monochain Transgenic H-2Db β2m Double Knockout Mice
TLDR
Three different HLA-A2.1 monochains were engineered in which either the human or mouse β2-microglobulin (β2m) is covalently linked to the NH2 terminus of the heavy chain by a 15– amino acid long peptide, and the selected HHD construct was introduced by transgenesis in H-2Db/− β2m−/− double knockout mice.Abstract:
Three different HLA-A2.1 monochains were engineered in which either the human or mouse β2-microglobulin (β2m) is covalently linked to the NH2 terminus of the heavy chain by a 15– amino acid long peptide: HHH, entirely human, HHD, with the mouse H-2Db α3, transmembrane, and cytoplasmic domains, and MHD, homologous to HHD but linked to the mouse β2mb. The cell surface expression and immunological capacities of the three monochains were compared with transfected cells, and the selected HHD construct was introduced by transgenesis in H-2Db−/− β2m−/− double knockout mice. Expression of this monochain restores a sizable peripheral CD8+ T cell repertoire essentially educated on the transgenic human molecule. Consequently, infected HHD, H-2Db−/− β2m−/− mice generate only HLA-A2.1–restricted CD8+ CTL responses against influenza A and vaccinia viruses. Interestingly, the CTL response to influenza A virus is mostly, if not exclusively, directed to the 58-66 matrix peptide which is the HLA-A2.1–restricted immunodominant epitope in humans. Such mice might constitute a versatile animal model for the study of HLA-A2.1–restricted CTL responses of vaccine interest.read more

TL;DR: Maintenance of CD8 T cell memory still required TCR-MHC class I interactions, but memory T cells may have a lower functional activation threshold that facilitates secondary responses.

TL;DR: The HLA-expressing humanized mouse with functional HLA -restricted T cells and consistent representation of rare T-cell subsets overcomes a major constraint in human immunology, and serves as a useful model for investigation of human immune responses against pathogens and for the development of therapeutic strategies against human diseases.

TL;DR: It is reported here that culture of the murine lymphoma mutant cell line RMA-S at reduced temperature promotes assembly, and results in a high level of cell surface expression of H-2/β2-microglobulin complexes that do not present endogenous antigens, and are labile at 37 °C.

Normal development of mice deficient in beta 2M, MHC class I proteins, and CD8+ T cells
TL;DR: Mouse chimeras derived from embryonic stem cells with a disrupted beta 2M gene transmitted the inactivated gene to their progeny and these animals are grossly deficient in CD4- CD8+ T cells, which normally mediate cytotoxic T cell function.
