Addition of polydispersed acid functionalised single-walled carbon nanotubes (AF-SWCNTs) significantly suppressed alloimmune cytotoxic T cell (CTL) response generated in a mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) between spleen cells from C57BL/ 6 (H-2 b ) and BALB/c (H-2 d ) mice. AF-SWCNTs treatment also decreased CD69 expression, enhanced apoptotic response in T cells and reduced significantly the recovery of live CD4 + and CD8 + T cells from MLR cultures. A two to threefold increase was noticed in

Confocal microscopy confirmed the internalization of AF-SWCNTs by live CD8 + T cells in MLR cultures. Administration of AF-SWCNTs suppressed the generation of anti-P815 CTL response in C57BL/ 6 mice and the recovery of T-cell populations from the spleens. The results demonstrate a suppressive effect of AF-SWCNTs on CTL response and provide an insight into the mechanism of this suppression.
