Abstract	Antigen presenting cells (APC) have the ability to present both extra-cellular and intra-cellular antigens via MHC class I molecules to CD8+ T cells. The cross presentation of extra-cellular antigens is reduced in mice with deficient Antigen Peptide Transporter 1 (TAP1)-dependent MHC class I antigen presentation, and these mice are characterized by a diminished CD8+ T cell population. We have recently reported an increased activation of CD8+ T cells in hypercholesterolemic Apoe−/− mice. Therefore, this study included TAP1-deficient Apoe−/− mice (Apoe−/−Tap1−/− ) to test the atherogenicity of CD8+ T cells and TAP1-dependent cross presentation in a hypercholesterolemic environment. As expected the CD8+ T cell numbers were low in Apoe−/−Tap1−/− mice in comparison to Apoe−/− mice, constituting ∼1% of the lymphocyte population. In spite of this there were no differences in the extent of atherosclerosis as assessed by en face Oil Red O staining of the aorta and cross-sections of the aortic root between Apoe−/−Tap1−/− and Apoe−/− mice. Moreover, no differences were detected in lesion infiltration of macrophages or CD3+ T cells in Apoe−/−Tap1−/− compared to Apoe−/− mice. The CD3+CD4+ T cell fraction was increased in Apoe−/−Tap1−/− mice, suggesting a compensation for the decreased CD8+ T cell population. Interestingly, the fraction of CD8+ effector memory T cells was increased but this appeared to have little impact on the atherosclerosis development.
