BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to analyze the spatial distribution and proliferation of adoptively transferred CD8+ T-lymphocytes sensitized against allogeneic tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Transgenic ß-actin-luc mice that express luciferase were sensitized against allogeneic SL2 lymphoma. CD8+ T-lymphocytes from these mice were transferred to lymphocyte-deficient, recombination activating gene-deficient (Rag-/-) mice bearing SL2 tumors and were tracked using bioluminescence imaging. RESULTS: Two out of six Rag-/- mice rejected their tumors. There were no apparent differences in spatial distribution and proliferative intensity of adoptively-transferred CD8+ T-lymphocytes between the two Rag-/- mice that rejected allogeneic SL2 tumors and the four Rag-/- mice that did not. CONCLUSION: The pattern of distribution in the mouse body and proliferative intensity of CD8+ T-lymphocytes do not seem to be decisive factors influencing allogeneic tumor rejection.
