The goal of this study was to determine whether alcohol affects alloantigen-induced proliferative and cytolytic activity of T cells in mice, and whether the altered immune response was in part due to a defect of IL-2 activity. The ability of spleen cells from individual alcohol-consuming C57BL/6 mice to generate allo-specific mixed lymphocyte response (MLR) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) was compared to that of mice fed on an isocaloric maltose diet and regular diet. Allospecific MLR and CTL were generated by sensitizing spleen cells of C57BL/6 mice against spleen cells from BALB/c mice, and the allo-specific CTL activity was determined by the ability of the CTL to kill Cr-51-labeled P815 mastocytoma target cells. Our results showed that the allo-specific MLR of the responder cells from alcohol-consuming mice was significantly reduced (40% reduction, p0.05). Finally, we also demonstrated that ethanol did not impair the alloantigen-induced IL-2 production in the mixed lymphocyte cultures (P>0.1).
