Transgenic mice expressing the activating receptor Ly49D\/DAP12 offer the opportunity to better understand the relevance of ITAM signaling in the biology of T cells. In vitro experiments showed that Ly49D engagement on T lymphocytes by a cognate MHC class I ligand expressed by Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells or by specific Ab triggered cellular activation of both CD4 and CD8 populations with modulation of activation markers and cytokine production. The forced expression of the ITAM signaling chain DAP12 is mandatory for Ly49D-transgenic T cell activation. In addition, Ly49D stimulation induced T lymphocyte proliferation, which was much stronger for CD8 T cells. Phenotypic analysis of anti-Ly49D-stimulated CD8 T cells and their ability to produce high levels of IFN-\u03b3 and to kill target cells indicate that Ly49D ligation generates effector cytotoxic CD8 T cells. Ly49D engagement by itself also triggered cytotoxic activity of activated CD8 T cells. Adoptive transfer experiments confirmed that Ly49D-transgenic CD8 T cells are able to control growth of CHO tumor cells or RMA cells transfected with Hm1-C4, the Ly49D ligand normally expressed by CHO. In conclusion, Ly49D engagement on T cells leads to T cell activation and to a full range of TCR-independent effector functions of CD8 T cells.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.182.1.183","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,18]],"date-time":"2014-04-18T23:17:12Z","timestamp":1397863032000},"page":"183-192","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Ly49D Engagement on T Lymphocytes Induces TCR-Independent Activation and CD8 Effector Functions That Control Tumor Growth"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"182","author":[{"given":"Estelle","family":"Merck","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, Lausanne Branch, University of Lausanne , Epalinges,","place":["Switzerland"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roger B","family":"Voyle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, Lausanne Branch, University of Lausanne , Epalinges,","place":["Switzerland"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"H Robson","family":"MacDonald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, Lausanne Branch, University of Lausanne , Epalinges,","place":["Switzerland"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025032622111574700_R1","first-page":"225","article-title":"NK cell recognition.","volume-title":"Annu.
