Our previous studies had demonstrated that nearly half of all T cells stimulated withActinobacillus actinomycetemcomitansare activated within a few hours. However, it was not known whether all of these T cells survive. The aim of the present study was to determine whether the T cells activated in response toA. actinomycetemcomitansundergo apoptosis. To that end, peripheral blood mononuclear cells were cultured at different time points in the presence ofA. actinomycetemcomitans. Flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that, following exposure to a preparation ofA. actinomycetemcomitans, T cells progressively externalized their plasma membrane phosphatidylserine, as measured by annexin V binding. Approximately half of all T cells bound annexin V by 96 h. During this period, Annexin V–positive T cells also incorporated propidium iodide suggesting loss of membrane integrity. The externalization of phosphatidylserine occurred at a higher rate among activated (CD69+) T cells, where roughly two‐thirds became Annexin V–positive. Flow cytometric analysis also demonstrated shrinkage of the Annexin V–positive and propidium iodide–positive T cells. The data presented here provides evidence for the induction of apoptosis among the majority of the T cells responding toA. actinomycetemcomitans.
