The intramolecular organization of the membrane integrated Class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule H-2Kb (Kb) was analyzed. After the removal of the two carbohydrate moieties by glycosidase enzymes, proteolytic digestion of the Kb molecule yielded: 1) several fragments with the beta 2 microglobulin (beta 2 m) subunit still bound and 2) one fragment carrying alloantigenic activity but lacking the beta 2 m. Isolation of the beta 2 m binding fragments showed them to be derived from the C-2 domain by partial N-terminal sequence analysis. One fragment extended to the C-terminus and the other fragment had lost the transmembrane region. Such studies conclusively show that the beta 2 m subunit is bound in the third domain, i.e., C-2, of the Kb 44,000 m.w. heavy chain. The alloantigenic fragment also isolated from the proteolytic digest consists of the first 180 residues of the 44,000 m.w. heavy chain, i.e., domains N and C-1, and carried alloantigenic determinants detected by several monoclonal antibodies as well as alloantisera. The present studies indicate that the external region of the Class I molecules has two functional regions. The first 180 residues bear the recognition elements for the immune system, and the next 90 residues (180-270) are involved in binding to beta 2 m. 相似文献

Single amino acid substitutions at nine different positions on the H-2Kb molecules from in vitro-mutagenized, immunologically altered, somatic cell variants were correlated with their patterns of recognition by monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) and allogeneic cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) clones. While MAbs were found to detect spatially discrete, domain-specific sites, CTLs interacted simultaneously with multiple residues on the alpha 1 and alpha 2 domains of the Kb molecule. The computer graphic three-dimensional Kb model structure showed that, of the seven CTL-specific residues analyzed, six residues were located on the alpha-helical regions of the two domains. Every CTL clone was found to interact with a distinct pattern of residues composed of a specific subset of the CTL-specific residues. 相似文献

We have analyzed the functional significance of the four amino acid differences between the parental H-2Kb and mutant H-2Kbm8 glycoproteins. Six bm8 variants including single substitutions at residues 22, 23, 24, and 30 as well as paired substitutions at residues 23, 30 and 22, 24 were generated and transfected into L cells. Surface expression of these H-2Kb variants was analyzed using monoclonal antibodies which bind to well-defined H-2Kb epitopes. No alterations introduced into the conformational structure of H-2Kb by the amino acid substitutions were detected. The effect of these substitutions on CTL recognition was initially analyzed using the following bulk CTL: either H-2Kb anti-H-2Kbm8, H-2Kbm8 anti-H-2Kb, or third party anti-H-2Kb. The alloreactivity between H-2Kb and H-2Kbm8 is dominated by the amino acid substitution at residue 24 (Glu----Ser). The complete bm8 phenotype, however, also requires the additional substitution at residue 22 (Tyr----Phe). The H-2Kbm8 anti-Kb bulk CTL reacted with both variant H-2Kbm8 molecules containing single substitutions at amino acid positions 22 or 24 but not the variant molecule containing both substitutions. Further analysis using three individual H-2Kbm8 anti-Kb CTL clones indicated the complexity of the self Kbm8 phenotype. Clone 8B1.20 did not react to changes in residues 22 or 24. The 8B1.32 clone reacted with the change at residue 22 but not with the change at residue 24, although the 8B1.54 clone reacted with the change at residue 24 but not with the change at residue 22. The changes in residues 23 (Met----Ile) and/or 30 (Asp----Asn) did not impact significantly on the alloantigenic properties of Kbm8 as determined by both the bulk and cloned CTL populations. According to the three-dimensional class I structure the substitution at amino acid 24 is inaccessible to the TCR. The location of this substitution within the Ag recognition site implies that altered peptide binding, and not a disruption of MHC residues that interact with the TCR, is responsible for the alloreactivity between H-2Kb and H-2Kbm8. 相似文献

Eleven long-term cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) clones derived from C57BL/10 T cells sensitized in vivo and in vitro with trinitrobenzene sulfonate- (TNBS) treated syngeneic cells were all restricted to the K end of H-2b. The fine specificity of these CTL clones was analyzed by using H-2Kbm mutant target cells and H-2Kb-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAb). Seven distinct patterns of reactivity of the T cell clones could be observed with the use of six H-2Kbm mutant target cells. Further heterogeneity could be detected in terms of the ability of anti-Lyt-2 mAb to inhibit CTL activity. Cross-reactivity between H-2Kb + TNP and H-2Kbm + TNP was observed for all clones tested for bm5 and bm6, but less frequently for bm3 (8/11), bm8 (7/10), bm4 (4/11), and bm1 (3/11). It was further observed that amino acid substitutions located in the first domain only (one clone), or in the second domain only (six clones), or in either the first or the second domain (three clones) of the H-2Kb molecule could affect target cell recognition by a given T cell clone. the latter type of reactivity suggested that some clones recognized "conformational" determinants of the H-2 molecule, or that amino acid substitutions in one domain might influence the structure of the next domain. One H-2Kb + TNP-reactive clone exhibited a heteroclitic behavior with decreasing avidities for target cells expressing H-2Kbm8 + TNP, H-2Kb + TNP, and H-2Kbm8, which further extends the various patterns of T cell cross-reactions observed within a given class of MHC products. The use of H-2Kb-specific mAb in blocking studies as an attempt to define further the H-2Kb epitopes recognized by CTL clones indicated that: a) TNBS treatment may affect the antigenicity of the H-2Kb molecule as assessed by some mAb; and b) that the T cell clone-target cell interaction may or may not be inhibited by a given mAb, depending on structural variations of the H-2Kb molecule (use of H-2Kbm mutants) that do not affect the interaction itself. These results indicate that this type of analysis does not permit correlation of serologic- and T cell-defined epitopes. 相似文献

The present studies have made use of in vitro derived H-2Kb mutants to analyze the fine specificity of alloreactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). The variants were derived by negatively selecting mutagenized tumor cells with a monoclonal anti-H-2Kb antibody and positively selecting for residual cells expressing serologically altered H-2Kb molecules. Details of this procedure are described in the companion paper. Selected populations of bulk alloreactive and cloned CTL were examined for recognition of the variants. In contrast to the serologic findings presented in the companion paper, there does not appear to be a correlation between the monoclonal antibody used to select the R8 variant and the CTL specificities recognized. In several instances, CTL clones could discriminate between variants having identical serologic profiles. Therefore, it would appear that the CTL have a large repertoire of allorecognition, even when generated across a mutant anti-Kb combination reflecting only a few amino acid differences. In addition, a diverse set of epitopes can be recognized on the Kb molecule. Finally, in some instances a change in what would appear to be a single amino acid resulted in a profound alteration of CTL recognition even though the Kb mutant molecule expressed limited serologic changes. These results support the idea that small changes in the H-2Kb molecule can have dramatic effects on CTL even though there are relatively little effects on serologic recognition of the target molecule. 相似文献

Analysis of somatic cell H-2 variants to define the structural requirements for class I antigen expression 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

We have taken the approach of producing somatic cell variants with altered H-2 products to study the structural requirements for cell surface expression of class I histocompatibility molecules. H-2 antigen variants generated by chemical mutagenesis of a cell line expressing the H-2b haplotype were first selected with alloantisera for their loss of H-2Kb expression, and then were analyzed by radioimmunoassay for the appearance of intracellular Kb antigen. For one such variant (69.9.15), whereas the H-2Kb antigen was absent from the cell surface as assayed by antibody-mediated complement-dependent cytotoxicity, an H-2Kb molecule was detected within the cell lysate as confirmed by direct immune precipitation with Kb-specific monoclonal antibodies. The product had an altered antigenic phenotype, since it reacted with only two anti-Kb monoclonal antibodies (Y-3 and EH-144) and not with a third (5F1.2). Analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis identified the beta 2 microglobulin-associated, intracellular H-2Kb heavy chain to be slightly smaller in Mr than the H-2Kb of the parental cell line. Hybridization analysis revealed the Kb gene from the variant to be without gross alterations, and furthermore, identified a Kb mRNA species that was identical in size to wild-type Kb mRNA. Because complementation was not observed after somatic cell fusion of variant cells with BALB/c splenocytes, it appeared that the alteration in Kb expression was due to a cis-acting defect. In addition, DNA-mediated gene transfer of the wild-type Kb gene into the variant cell line resulted in expression of the Kb antigen on the cell surface, thus confirming that the defect in expression of the mutant Kb product was not due to other factors in the 69.9.15 cell line. Such findings are consistent with the conclusion that stable H-2Kb surface-negative somatic variants can arise due to limited alterations in the Kb gene, resulting in the synthesis of a class I molecule that is expressed only as an intracellular product. 相似文献

H-2 restriction in cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated lysis of syngeneic murine Moloney leukemia virus (MoLV)-induced tumor cells was studied at the clonal level by testing the inhibitory effect of monoclonal anti-H-2 antibodies on the lytic interaction between CTL clones and target cells. Large numbers of MoLV-specific CTL clones were generated by placing limiting numbers of C57BL/6 regressor (responder) spleen cells into micro-mixed leukocyte-tumor cell cultures. The clonal CTL populations thus obtained were split into 5 aliquots and tested for lytic activity in the presence (or absence) of 1 of 3 monoclonal antibodies or of an anti-whole H-2b haplotype antiserum. Two of the monoclonal antibodies were directed against H-2Db and one against H-2Kb determinants. Specificity of these reagents had been verified by demonstrating inhibition of lysis by CTL populations directed against H-2Db and H-2Kb alloantigens. In 44 of a total of 51 clones tested, results showed selective inhibition by the anti-H-2Db (and the anti-whole haplotype) reagents, and lack of inhibition by the anti-H-2Kb antibody., Of the remaining 7 clones, none was inhibited by the anti-H-2Db antibody, and 3 were inhibited by the anti-whole haplotype antiserum. These studies show that the recognition of MoLV-associated antigens by the majority of CTL clones was restricted to the H-2Db region, and that there exists limited heterogeneity in the H-2 restriction of such clones. 相似文献

The most polymorphic residues in the first domain of class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules are in the 61-69 region. We have chosen the H-2Kb molecule for determining the role of this region in the induction of alloimmune responses. A synthetic peptide, Glu-Arg-Glu-Thr-Gln-Lys-Ala-Lys-Gly corresponding to this region was synthesized. T cells enriched from the lymph nodes of allostrain mice that were previously primed with H-2Kb containing cells or with the synthetic peptide in complete Freund's adjuvant undergo extensive in vitro proliferation in response to the synthetic (61-69)H-2Kb peptide. The response was dependent on the presentation of the (61-69)H-2Kb peptide by the syngeneic antigen-presenting cells and was blocked by anti-class II MHC monoclonal antibodies. This peptide fragment of class I MHC molecule activates only helper/inducer type T cells that are involved in the primary responses but not the effector cytotoxic T cells. When coupled to a carrier protein, (61-69)H-2Kb peptide induced antibodies in allostrain mice that bind to intact H-2Kb molecule. No antibodies or T cell responses could be induced in syngeneic H-2b mice. The antigenic site on the H-2Kb molecule recognized by two H-2Kb-specific monoclonal antibodies B8 X 3 X 24 and Y-25 was also mapped in the 61-69 region by direct binding to the synthetic peptide. Therefore the 61-69 region on the H-2Kb molecule represents the first defined sequence on a class I molecule that is directly involved in the induction of alloimmune responses. 相似文献

Clustering of antigenic determinants on H-2 molecules 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The spatial relationship of individual antigenic determinants on H-2Kk and H-2Db molecules was investigated with seven different monoclonal anti-H-2Kk and seven anti-H-2Db antibodies. In these studies the binding of radiolabeled monoclonal anti-H-2 to target cells was competed by addition of various cold anti-H-2 antibodies. The results indicate that on both H-2Kk and H-2Db molecules the antigenic determinants are arranged in two spatially separated clusters. Thus, antibodies to determinants within a cluster show mutual inhibition of binding but do not block the binding of antibodies to the other cluster, and vice versa. Furthermore, in the case of H-2Db antigens it was observed that binding of antibodies to one cluster would considerably enhance the binding of antibodies to the other cluster. A preliminary Scatchard analysis indicated that the enhancing antibody did not alter the affinity of the radiolabeled antibody, but led to an increase of available binding sites on the cell membrane. In addition, binding inhibition studies revealed that the conventional private specificity H-2.2 of H-2Db consists of at least two independent sites on the molecule. 相似文献

In vitro mutagenesis of a mouse MHC class I gene for the examination of structure-function relationships 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Oligonucleotide-directed, site-specific mutagenesis has been employed to elucidate the role of individual amino acids on the expression and function of a MHC class I antigen. Two oligonucleotides were synthesized to introduce single amino acid substitutions in the murine H-2Ld gene. The highly conserved glycosylation site at amino acid position 86 was changed from asparagine to lysine to remove the carbohydrate moiety from the first external domain of the H-2 molecule, and the phenylalanine at position 116 was changed to tyrosine, replacing the Ld residue with the Kb type amino acid analogous to Kb mutants: bm5 and bm16 mutants derived from the Kb antigen have the Ld-type residue at this position. The mutant genes were constructed by annealing the mutagenic oligomers to the single stranded H-2Ld gene, followed by chain elongation reaction. The expected mutations were confirmed by DNA sequence determination. The mutant genes were introduced into mouse L cells by DNA-mediated gene transfer. Both mutant genes expressed the antigens on the cell surface, as detected by antibody binding; these antigens were reactive with the cytotoxic T cells specific for the H-2Ld antigen. Detailed examination with 16 monoclonal anti-H-2Ld antibodies revealed that the binding of some antibodies was significantly reduced in the glycosylation mutant, implying a certain contribution of the carbohydrates to the antigenic activity of some determinants. No detectable changes have been observed in the mutant of the substitution at position 116 by the parameters we tested. 相似文献

Monomorphic anti-HLA-A,B,C monoclonal antibodies detecting molecular subunits and combinatorial determinants 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
Thirteen monoclonal antibodies that react with monomorphic determinants on the HLA-A,B,C-beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2m) molecule were characterized. Analysis of antibody activity included inhibition by papain-solubilized HLA antigens and free beta 2m, antibody binding to mouse-human somatic cell hybrids containing human chromosome 6 or 15, and antibody cross-reactivity with lymphocytes from nonhuman species. Two criteria for monomorphism were established: 1) equal inhibition or absorption of antibody activity by all papain-solubilized HLA antigens or cell lines of different HLA specificities tested; and 2) nonpolymorphic cross-reactivity within another species or subspecies. On the basis of soluble antigen inhibition and binding to somatic cell hybrids, 3 classes of antibodies were detected: anti-beta 2m, anti-heavy chain, and anti-complex (against a combinatorial determinant formed by heavy chain and beta 2m). Antibody cross-reaction patterns in nonhuman species were suggestive that these monomorphic antibodies detect a limited number of determinants, minimally one on each chain and 2 combinatorial determinants. Examination of the known primary sequences for HLA-A2, HLA-B7, H-2Kb, and mouse, rabbit and human beta 2m provides a molecular explanation for this limited mouse anti-HLA monomorphic antibody activity. 相似文献

It was previously shown that spleen cells from endogenous ecotropic murine leukemia virus emv-14+ AKXL-5 mice fail to stimulate an anti-AKR/Gross virus cytolytic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response in a mixed lymphocyte culture with primed C57BL/6 responder spleen cells, whereas spleen cells from AKXL strains carrying the very similar emv-11 provirus do stimulate a response (Green and Graziano, Immunogenetics 23:106-110, 1986). We wished to determine whether the lack of response with AKXL-5 spleen cells was at the level of recognition between effector cell and target cell and whether the relevant mutation was within the emv-14 provirus. It is shown here that EMV-negative SC-1 fibroblast cells transfected with the major histocompatibility complex class I Kb gene and infected with virus isolated from the AKXL-5 strain (SC.Kb/5 cells) were not lysed by H-2b-restricted anti-AKR/Gross virus CTL. SC.Kb cells infected with virus isolated from emv-11+ strains, however, were efficiently lysed by anti-AKR/Gross virus CTL, indicating that there is nothing intrinsic to EMV-infected SC.Kb cells that would prevent them from being recognized and lysed efficiently by anti-AKR/Gross virus CTL. Analysis of virus expression for the infected SC.Kb cells by XC plaque assay and by flow cytometry indicated that emv-14 virus expression for SC.Kb/5 cells was not significantly different from that for emv-11-containing SC.Kb/9 or SC.Kb/21 cells. These data show that the mutation responsible for the lack of CTL recognition and lysis is at the level of recognition between target cell and effector cell. Furthermore, these data strongly suggest that the mutation is within the emv-14 genome. Flow cytometry experiments with monoclonal antibodies against a number of viral determinants indicated that there was no gross mutation detectable in the viral determinants analyzed. The data suggest that the relevant mutation may be a point mutation or a small insertion or deletion within a coding sequence that is critical for CTL recognition. 相似文献

Our previous studies demonstrated that allorecognition of HTB176.10 and HTB177.2, H-2Kb-reactive CD4-CD8- T cell hybridomas is markedly influenced by the exchange of the alpha 3 domain between H-2Kb and H-2Dp. The recombinant genes of the exon 4 between H-2Kb and H-2Dp were constructed to determine the residues of the alpha 3 domain that influence the allorecognition of these T cell hybridomas. Seven recombinant genes of the exon 4 were generated by in vivo recombination in Escherichia coli. Chimeric genes containing these recombinants were transfected into L cells and the transfectants expressing equivalent amounts of chimeric molecules were selected by flow cytometry. Studies on responses of these T cell hybridomas to the chimeric molecules confirmed our previous observation that the primary structure of the alpha 3 domain influences the allorecognition by the hybridomas. Moreover, it was indicated that residue 256 on the alpha 3 domain markedly affects the allorecognition by the T cell hybridomas, although substitutions at residues 184, 193, 195, 197, 262, and 264 exerted some effects on the T cell recognition. Further studies with the use of a single amino acid mutant of H-2Kb at residue 256 confirmed the effect of substitution at residue 256 on allorecognition of the T cell hybridomas. Taken together, results of this study demonstrated that polymorphism of the alpha 3 domain is indeed involved in the formation of allodeterminants recognized by TCR. 相似文献

A lectin-resistant variant of the murine EL4 lymphocytic leukemia cell line was selected in the presence of wheat germ agglutinin for low levels of cell-surface sialic acid. H-2Kb was the major internally radiolabeled H-2b molecule on the cell-surface of WD1, and it was not sialylated, as determined by two-dimensional gel analysis. Endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H treatment of the WD1 membrane fractions suggested that the oligosaccharides on the cell-surface H-2Kb molecule were complex, but nonsialylated. Monoclonal antibody inhibition of the allogeneically primed cell-mediated cytotoxicity (CMC) reaction indicated that the T cells (BALB/c anti-EL4; H-2d anti-H-2b) were specific only for the H-2Kb target cell antigen. These WD1 variant cells were used as targets in the CMC assay using anti-H-2Kb T cells and compared with the parent EL4 in vitro line. The change in the cell-surface oligosaccharide did not affect the susceptibility to lysis by the cytotoxic T lymphocytes even though there were 2.5-fold more H-2Kb antigens on the WD1 variant cell (1.5 X 10(5) sites/cell) than on the parent EL4 in vitro cell (5.9 X 10(4) sites/cell). It was possible to isolate highly purified preparations of H-2Kb from either the EL4 or the WD1 line using a monoclonal antibody affinity column. Interestingly, the variant WD1 cell would no longer grow in the peritoneal cavity of the syngeneic C57BL/6 mouse. 相似文献

The major histocompatibility complex class I molecules are receptors for intracellular peptides, both of self and non-self origin. When non-self peptides (eg., pathogen derived) are bound to the class I molecules, they form ligands for T cell receptors resulting in antigen specific lysis of the infected cells by cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Therefore, an understanding of the process of antigen recognition requires the precise definition of the structural features of the bimolecular complex formed by a single well defined antigenic peptide bound to the class I molecule. A strategy using antibodies was developed to probe the structural features of the H-2Kb containing a defined peptide in the antigen cleft. We report that the binding surface area of a Kb specific monoclonal antibody (28-13-3s) includes residues in the alpha 1 (Gly56 and Glu58) and alpha 2 (Trp167) helices of Kb thus, binding across the antigen binding groove. When cells treated with the antigenic peptide of vesicular stomatitis virus, N52-59, and its alanine substituted analogs were tested for 28-13-3s binding, it was found that position 1 of the peptide also forms a part of the antibody binding site. This finding strongly supports the positioning of the N-terminus of N52-59 proximal to pocket A, thus, assuming an orientation parallel to the alpha 1 helix. 相似文献

To identify mAb reacting with the HLA class I alpha 3 domain, 14 mAb recognizing monomorphic determinants expressed on HLA-A, B, and C Ag or restricted to HLA-B Ag were screened in indirect immunofluorescence with mouse L cells expressing HLA-B7/H-2Kb chimeric Ag. mAb CR1S63, CR10-215, CR11-115, and W6/32 were found to react with the HLA class I alpha 3 domain in addition to the alpha 2 domain. mAb Q1/28 and TP25.99 were found to react only with the HLA class I alpha 3 domain. The determinants recognized by the six mAb were mapped on the HLA class I alpha 3 domain by indirect immunofluorescence staining of L cells expressing H-2Kb Ag containing different segments of the HLA-B7 alpha 3 domain chimerized with the H-2Kb alpha 3 domain. mAb TP25.99 reacts with chimeric Ag containing the HLA-B7 184 to 199 stretch, mAb CR10-215 and CR11-115 react with chimeric Ag containing the HLA-B7 184 to 246 stretch, mAb CR1S63 and Q1/28 react with chimeric Ag containing the HLA-B7 184 to 256 stretch, and mAb W6/32 reacts with chimeric Ag containing the whole HLA-B7 alpha 3 domain. Functional analysis using human CD8 alpha-bearing mouse H-2Kb-specific T cell hybridoma cells (HTB-Leu2) showed that only mAb TP25.99 inhibited IL-2 production by HTB-Leu2 cells stimulated with L cells expressing KbKbB7 Ag. This inhibition may occur because of the spatial proximity of the determinant defined by mAb TP25.99 to the CD8 alpha binding loop and/or because of change(s) in the conformation of the CD8 alpha binding loop induced by the binding of mAb TP25.99 to the HLA class I molecule. Furthermore, mAb TP25.99 inhibited the cytotoxicity of CD8-dependent and CD8-independent CTL clones. These results indicate that mAb TP25.99 has unique specificity and functional characteristics. Therefore it represents a valuable probe to characterize the role of the HLA class I alpha 3 domain in immunologic phenomena. 相似文献

An interspecies class I MHC molecule, Kb1+2/A2 (in which the alpha-1 and alpha-2 domains of the H-2Kb molecule have been linked to the alpha-3, transmembrane and intracytoplasmic domains of the HLA-A2 molecule) has been expressed on both human and mouse target cells by gene transfer. Maintenance of serologic determinants has been demonstrated. However, decreased lysis by allospecific CTL populations of cell lines that expressed a hybrid interspecies class I molecule, Kb1+2/A2, as compared with lines that expressed the native Ag, H-2Kb, has been described. An analysis with a limited panel of H-2Kb allospecific clones demonstrated that not all H-2Kb-specific CTL can lyse cells that express Kb1+2/A2 Ag. This suggested that the reduction of lysis by CTL populations was due to the loss of specific alloreactive clones in the population. Each clone used in this study was then defined as having high or low affinity characteristics. No correlation between the affinity of the CTL and the ability to recognize the interspecies hybrid molecule could be shown. Rather, these data suggest that antigenic determinants that are located within the polymorphic domains, alpha-1 and alpha-2, may be conformationally influenced by the alpha-3 domain. 相似文献

T cell recognition of Mlsc. I. Influence of MHC gene products in Mlsc-specific T cell recognition 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Monospecific T cell clones have been proven to be powerful tools for the characterization of T cell recognition in many Ag-specific as well as allo-specific T cell responses. In this report, in order to elucidate the mechanism of T cell recognition of minor stimulating locus Ag (Mlsc) determinants, Mlsc-specific cloned T cells were employed together with primary T cell responses to clarify the role of MHC-gene products in Mlsc-specific T cell recognition. The results indicated that T cells recognize Mlsc determinants in conjunction with I-region MHC gene products. Moreover, certain MHC haplotypes (e.g., H-2a and H-2k) appear to function efficiently in the "presentation" of Mlsc, whereas other haplotypes (e.g., H-2b and H-2q) function poorly if at all in presenting Mlsc. Experiments with the use of stimulators derived from F1 hybrids between the low stimulatory H-2b, Mlsc strain, C3H.SW, and a panel of Mlsb, H-2-different or intra-H-2 recombinant strains strongly suggested that expression of E alpha E beta molecules on stimulators plays a critical role for Mlsc stimulation. The functional importance of the E alpha E beta product in Mlsc recognition was further demonstrated by the ability of anti-E alpha monoclonal antibody to inhibit the response of cloned Mlsc-specific T cells. Inhibition of the same Mlsc-specific response by anti-A beta k antibody suggests that the A beta product may also play a role in T cell responses to Mlsc. 相似文献

It is known that the alpha-chain of CD8 binds to a negatively charged loop composed of residues 223 to 229 on MHC class I Ag and that binding of CD8 alpha enhances Ag recognition of T cells. We have recently shown that the mouse CD8 alpha homodimer does not bind to either the HLA class I alpha 3 domain or a mutant of H-2Kb Ag containing a substitution of glutamine for methionine at residue 224, which brings this residue toward the human consensus. Here we report a complementary study of the CD8 beta-chain. The functional role of the CD8 beta-chain was analyzed by using four T cell hybridoma lines expressing mouse CD8 alpha and transfected with the mouse CD8 beta gene. As compared with the lines expressing only CD8 alpha, allorecognition of the chimeric H-2Kb Ag that contains the HLA class I alpha 3 domain was enhanced in lines expressing both CD8 alpha and -beta. This enhancement was blocked by either anti-CD8 mAb or anti-HLA class I alpha 3 domain mAb. In addition, we show that CD8 alpha beta binds the H-2Kb mutant Ag at residue 224. These results suggest that the beta-chain allows the CD8 alpha beta heterodimer to recognize the chimeric H-2Kb Ag. A model for the role of the beta-chain is presented. 相似文献
