At birth, almost all human peripheral blood CD8+ T cells express the costimulatory molecule CD28. With increasing age, the proportion of CD8+ T cells that lack CD28 increases. Because the Ag specificity of CD28-CD8+ T cells has not previously been defined, we studied the contribution of CD28-CD8+ T cells to the memory CD8+ CTL response against two human persistent viruses, human CMV (HCMV) and HIV. From PBMC of healthy virus carriers we generated multiple independent CTL clones specific for defined viral peptides and sequenced their TCR beta-chains. We designed clonotypic oligonucleotides complementary to each beta-chain hypervariable sequence and quantified the size of individual immunodominant CTL clones in PBMC. Some individual CTL clones were very large, comprising up to 3.1% of all CD8+ T cells in PBMC, and were generally maintained at a stable level for months. Individual virus-specific CTL clones were consistently more abundant in purified CD28- cells than in the CD8+ population as a whole. Because CD28-CD8+ cells as a population have been reported to proliferate poorly in response to mitogen, we studied the function of these virus-specific CD28- CTL clones by quantifying the frequency of peptide-specific CTL precursors using limiting dilution analysis. CD28-CD8+ T cells contained high frequencies of functional memory CTL precursors specific for peptides of HCMV or HIV, generally higher than in the CD8+ T cell population as a whole. We conclude that in asymptomatic HCMV and HIV infection, human CD28-CD8+ T cells contain high frequencies of functional virus-specific memory CTL clones.
