Analysis of experiments testing direct neutrophil presentation or crosspresentation of antigen, using human cells, in the absence of anti-CD3 or anti-CD28 antibodies

First authorReferenceAntigen usedT cells usedNeutrophils usedResults
Fanger 14  Superantigen and tetanus toxoid Tetanus-toxoid–specific CD4+ T cells expanded from a healthy donor Stimulated for 24 h with IFN-γ and GM-CSF and then irradiated T-cell proliferation in response to superantigen but not tetanus toxoid (protein or peptide) 
Vono 18  CMV antigen pp65 and influenza virus HA Primary CD4+ T cells from seropositive donors Directly ex vivo (pulsed 1 hour with antigen) Proliferation and cytokine production by T cells, which is inhibited by anti–HLA-DR antibodies 
Meinderts 23  Tetanus toxoid Directly ex vivo CD4+ and CD8+ T cells Incubated ± opsonized red blood cells. Second population of neutrophils given to T cells on d 4 of culture Proliferation and cytokine production of T cells. This was inhibited by anti-HLA-DR antibodies. Only CD4+ and not CD8+ T cells proliferated 
Radsak 25  Superantigen Staphylococcus enterotoxin E and tetanus toxoid Tetanus-toxoid–specific CD4+ T cell lines expanded from healthy donors Treated for 24 h with IFN-γ and GM-CSF Proliferation of T cells in response to superantigen and to tetanus toxoid, inhibited by anti–HLA-DR and anti-CD86 antibodies. Only CD4+ and not CD8+ cells proliferated. Only autologous and not heterologous neutrophils could stimulate proliferation. 
Polak 36  Birch pollen antigen Bet v 1 Bet v 1–specific CD4+ T cell lines derived from allergic patients Stimulated with GM-CSF, IFN-γ, and IL-3 and then irradiated Proliferation and cytokine production by T cells 
Sharma 37  Soluble Leishmania antigen Directly ex vivo total CD3+ T cells Normal-density or low-density neutrophils, directly ex vivo No proliferation 
Iking-Konert 33  Elastase and tetanus toxoid CD4+ T cell lines specific for elastase and tetanus toxoid Treated for 24 h with IFN-γ and GM-CSF Proliferation by T cells in response to autologous but not heterologous neutrophils with antigen 
Davey 45  Tetanus toxoid and influenza virus M1 matrix protein, as well as superantigen CD8+ T cell lines and primary peripheral blood mononuclear cells Cultured for 48 h with Vγ9Vδ2 or MAIT cells, CD3/CD28 stimulation or HMB-PP to activate unconventional T cells or IFNγ, TNF, and/or GMCSF T-cell proliferation and cytokine production in response to antigen processed and presented by neutrophils. CD8+ T-cell response to exogenous antigen (cross-presented antigen). Dependent on priming of the neutrophils by culture with unconventional T cells.
