The Journal of Immunology Antigen Persistence Is Required for Dendritic Cell Licensing and CD8؉ T Cell Cross-Priming1 He´le`ne Jusforgues-Saklani,*‡ Martin Uhl,*‡ Nathalie Blache`re,* Fabrice Lemaître,* Olivier Lantz,† Philippe Bousso,* Deborah Braun,*‡ James J. Moon,§ and Matthew L. Albert2*‡ It has been demonstrated that CD4؉ T cells require Ag persistence to achieve effective priming, whereas CD8؉ T cells are on “autopilot” after only a brief exposure. This finding presents a disturbing conundrum as it does not account for situations in which CD8؉ T cells require CD4؉ T cell help. We used a physiologic in vivo model to study the requirement of Ag persistence for the cross-priming of minor histocompatibility Ag-specific CD8؉ T cells. We report inefficient cross-priming in situations in which male -cells are rapidly cleared. Strikingly, the failure to achieve robust CD8؉ T cell activation is not due to a problem with cross presentation. In fact, by providing “extra help” in the form of dendritic cells (DCs) loaded with MHC class II peptide, it was Downloaded from possible to achieve robust activation of CD8؉ T cells. Our data suggest that the “licensing” of cross-presenting DCs does not occur during their initial encounter with CD4؉ T cells, thus accounting for the requirement for Ag persistence and suggesting that DCs make multiple interactions with CD8؉ T cells during the priming phase. These findings imply that long-lived Ag is critical for :efficient vaccination protocols in which the CD8؉ T cell response is helper-dependent.
