Genetically modified antigen-presenting cells (APC) represent an attractive strategy for in vitro immunomodulation. In the human system, APC expressing HLA-A1 and a membrane-bound form of CD95L (m-CD95L) were used for selective depletion of HLA-A1-specific T cells. In short-term assays, m-CD95L-expressing APC-induced apoptosis in activated T cells and the constitutive presence of m- CD95L and HLA-A1 expressing APC in long-term T cell cultures prevented the expansion of CD4(+) and CD8(+) HLA-A1-specifc T cells and the development of HLA-A1-specific cytotoxicity. However, immunity towards third party, viral and bacterial antigens was maintained and T cells spared from depletion could be induced to develop cytotoxicity towards unrelated antigens. Interestingly, inhibition of HLA-A1-specific T cell response absolutely requires the coexpression of m- CD95L and HLA-A1 antigen on the same APC. Thus, m-CD95L expressing APC might be used in clinical settings to obtain tolerance induction in allogeneic transplantation systems or autoimmune diseases.
