The direct assay of veto CTLs in the 2C mouse model enables monitoring, by FACS, the fate of the TCR transgenic effector CD8(+) T cells, the transgene of which can be stained with clonotypic Ab 1B2. After the addition of veto cells, CD8(+)1B2(+) effector cells increasingly express annexin V, and maximal apoptosis is attained 72 h after initiation of MLR. This veto activity can be partially blocked by anti-CD8 Abs directed against the allele expressed by the veto CTLs, but not by the effector cells. When effector CD8(+) T cells were from 2C mice, which lack Fas expression ((2CX lpr)F-2), deletion of effector cells was not exhibited by veto cells. The protein levels of the apoptosis inhibitors FLIP and Bcl2 in purified CD8(+)1B2(+) effector cells at different time points after MLR showed an initial up-regulation of these inhibitors, with marked reduction of FLIP, but not of Bcl2, by 48 h after initiation of culture. Taken together, these results are in accordance with a Fas-FasL-based mechanism in which prolonged binding between the effector cell and the veto cell might be required to allow FLIP to be down-regulated. Such prolonged interaction might be afforded through the interaction of CD8 molecules on the veto cell with the alpha3 domain of H2 class 1 on the effector cell.
