A method for the genetic modification of dendritic cells (DC) was previously established based on the in vitro differentiation of embryonic stem (ES) cells to DC (ES-DC). The unavailability of human ES cells genetically identical to the patients will be a problem in the future clinical application of this technology. This study attempted to establish a strategy to overcome this issue. The TAPI or beta(2)-microglobulin (beta(2)m) gene was disrupted in 129 (H-2(b))-derived ES cells and then expression vectors for the H-2K(d) or beta(2)m-linked form of K-d (beta 2m-K-d) were introduced, thus resulting in two types of genetically engineered ES-DC, TAP1(-/-)/K-d ES-DC and beta M-2(-/-)/beta(2)m-K-d ES-DC. As intended, both of the transfectant ES-DC expressed K-d but not the intrinsic H-2(b) haplotype-derived MHC class I. beta(2)m(-/-)/beta(2)m-K-d and TAP1(-/-)/K-d ES-DC were not recognized by pre-activated H-2(b)-reactive CTL and did not prime H-2(b) reactive CTL in vitro or in vivo. beta(2)m(-/-)/beta(2)m-K-d ES-DC and TAP1(-/-)/K-d ES-DC had a survival advantage in comparison to beta(2)m(+/-)/beta(2)m-K-d ES-DC and TAP1(+/+)/K-d ES-DC, when transferred into BALB/c mice. K-d-restricted RSV-M2-derived peptide-loaded ES-DC could prime the epitope-specific CTL upon injection into the BALB/c mice, irrespective of the cell surface expression of intrinsic H-2(b) haplotype-encoded MHC class I.beta(2)m(-/-)/beta(2)m-K-d ES-DC were significantly more efficient in eliciting immunity against RSV M2 protein-expressing tumor cells than beta(2)m(+/-)/beta(2)m-K-d ES-DC. The modification of the beta(2)m or TAP gene may therefore be an effective strategy to resolve the problem of HLA class I allele mismatch between human ES or induced pluripotent stem cells and the recipients to be treated.
