Interleukin 2 (IL 2) is a lymphocyte-specific growth hormone, whose effect on lymphocyte proliferation is exerted through a cell surface receptor expressed on activated lymphocytes. In this report we have used monoclonal antibodies directed to the murine IL 2 receptor to examine the regulation of the IL 2 receptor expression on cloned populations of influenza virus-specific CTL. The CTL clones, which are dependent on both specific antigenic stimulation and exogenous IL 2 for continuous in vitro propagation, express high levels of the IL 2 receptor shortly after antigenic stimulation (day 2 or 3). Over the next 5 to 8 days of in vitro cultivation in IL 2-containing medium, these cloned CTL cells express decreasing levels of IL 2 receptor. Concomitant with this fall in IL 2 receptor expression, the cells become refractory to the IL 2 proliferative stimulus. The cloned cells remain refractory to IL 2 until specifically stimulated by antigen, which induces high levels of the IL 2 receptor on the cells and renders the cells sensitive to IL 2 once again. These results support the concept that IL 2 receptor expression on activated T lymphocytes is transitory and that receptor expression is endogenously regulated in the activated T lymphocytes. These results also suggest that antigen plays a primary role in regulating T lymphocyte proliferation by maintaining IL 2 receptor levels. 相似文献

A variant clone, BK-BI-2.6.C6, was derived from the murine bovine insulin-reactive T cell line BK-BI-2.6 with helper/amplifier phenotype. Variant cells have lost reactivity to insulin, but have acquired constitutive IL 2 receptor expression, growing in IL 2-containing medium without feeder cells. In contrast to their ancestor line, variant cells synthesize and express I-A and I-E region-dependent class II molecules as indicated by metabolic radiolabeling, immunoprecipitation with subregion-specific monoclonal antibodies and two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis (1D isoelectric focusing, 2D SDS-PAGE). BK-BI-2.6.C6 cells can act as accessory cells, presenting the protein antigens bovine insulin and ovalbumin to antigen-dependent long-term cultured T cell lines BK-BI-1.2 and BK-OVA-1 in the context of I-A restriction elements. Antigen recognition on presenting BK-BI-2.6.C6 accessory cells resulted in highly efficient IL 2 production. However, in contrast to splenic antigen-presenting cells, BK-BI-2.6.C6 cells did not initiate antigen-specific [3H]thymidine incorporation by the T cell lines tested. Further study of accessory function of Ia+ T cell clones might provide insight into processes regulating T cell responses to antigen. 相似文献

Antigen-dependent regulation of interleukin 2 receptor expression on cloned human cytotoxic T lymphocytes 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

IL 2 receptor expression as a function of time after antigenic stimulation was examined on antigen-dependent human CTL clones specific for type A influenza virus. The anti-Tac monoclonal antibody was used to follow IL 2 receptor levels on the cloned cells. Shortly after antigenic stimulation, IL 2 receptor expression was maximal; by 1 wk, however, levels had decayed considerably, and by 2 wk only background expression remained. Reexpression of IL 2 receptors could be induced by exposure of quiescent clones to antigen or lectin. IL 2-driven proliferation of the cytotoxic clones was also examined, and it decayed with the same kinetics as IL 2 receptor levels. Proliferation of quiescent cells could also be obtained by antigen-specific stimulation. Thus, IL 2 receptor expression by human CTL clones at least in part regulates the antigen-specific proliferation of these cells. 相似文献

Proliferation of T lymphocytes in response to interleukin 2 varies with their state of activation 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The interleukin 2 (IL 2) receptor on T lymphocytes can be upregulated by a variety of stimuli including antigen, lectin, and IL 2 itself. In this report, the direct binding of radiolabeled IL 2 and a quantitative bioassay of T cell responsiveness to IL 2 were used to determine the biological significance of upregulation of the murine IL 2 receptor. Antigen and lectin, and to a lesser extent IL 2, were found to cause an increase in the expression of the high affinity form of the IL 2 receptor on both a T cell clone and concanavalin A-induced T cell blasts. A 2-day stimulation with antigen resulted in an increase in the sensitivity of the T cell clone to IL 2, whereas activation with IL 2 caused a decrease in the sensitivity of these cells to subsequent stimulation with IL 2. Comparison of the direct binding and the functional data revealed that IL 2-preactivated T cells required a greater number of occupied high affinity IL 2 receptors to achieve a given fractional response than did unactivated T cells. These observations suggest that the sensitivity with which a T cell responds to IL 2 is not determined solely by the number of high affinity IL 2 receptors it bears. 相似文献

A human T cell clone (termed 40.2.6) established from a rejected human kidney allograft has been studied for its ability to express membrane IL 2 receptors in response to antigen (irradiated cells from the graft's donor) and recombinant IL 2 (rec-IL 2). On antigenic stimulation, the 40.2.6 clone produced low levels (0.15 U/ml) of IL 2 (peak at 24 hr) and incorporated (3H)thymidine (peak at 48 hr). This incorporation was strongly enhanced on addition of rec-IL 2 and was inhibited by the 33B31 antibody, an anti-human IL 2 receptor monoclonal antibody (Mab). The 125I-labeled 33B31 Mab has been used to quantify the density of IL 2 receptors on 40.2.6 cells. Cells not re-exposed to antigen or rec-IL 2 had a level of 33B31-binding sites which declined rapidly (10% of starting value after 2 days). This level remained much more stable when rec-IL 2 (1 U/ml) was present in the medium (80% at day 2). Antigen induced a three- to eightfold increase in the level of 33B31-binding sites which peaked at 24 hr and then declined. When a similar antigenic stimulation was performed in the presence of rec-IL 2 (1 U/ml), the level of 33B31-binding sites peaked at a higher value (eight- to 20-fold increase at day 2), and its subsequent decline was slower. These potentiating effects of rec-IL 2 were dose-dependent and occurred at low concentrations corresponding to the saturation by rec-IL 2 of high affinity IL 2 receptor sites. Finally, high affinity IL 2 receptors, as measured by the binding of 35S-labeled rec-IL 2, were found to be similarly up-regulated by antigen and rec-IL 2. Together, our results obtained on a monoclonal human T cell population with highly purified rec-IL 2 demonstrate that rec-IL 2 and antigen act in synergy to induce the expression of both high and low affinity membrane IL 2 receptors. 相似文献

The studies reported here describe the feasibility of using single cell techniques with nonadherent target cells for the formation of T helper lymphocyte-target cell conjugates in an Ia recognition system. We have taken advantage of four tumor-specific T cell hybridomas lines, two of which respond only to IA-bearing RCS tumor cells of SJL/J (H-2s) origin, and the other two that respond to both RCS and IA- or IE-bearing allogeneic cells of H-2k,d haplotypes. The conjugate frequency between the T cell hybridomas and target cells was scored microscopically and was facilitated by labeling the lymphocyte with fluorescein. The frequency of conjugate formation ranged from 20 to 40% above background. Conjugate formation was antigen specific and correlated well with the hybridoma specificity determined by IL 2 responses after antigenic stimulation. The cross-reactive hybridomas formed conjugates with RCS and LPS blasts derived from CBA or DBA/2 origin, but not with cells of syngeneic or other allogeneic strains. Conjugate formation with RCS was inhibited greater than 50% with mAb directed against IAs determinants on the RCS tumor cells, and conjugate formation with allogeneic cells was blocked only with mAb directed to either IA/IEk or IA/IEd specificities directed against the alpha or beta polypeptide chain. Blocking of conjugate formation was also achieved by various mAb directed against surface membrane molecules associated with the T cell hybridomas. LFA-1 mAb inhibited significantly the formation of conjugates. However, L3T4 mAb blocked only partially the conjugates. Other antibodies directed against Lyt-1 or Thy-1.2 antigens were without blocking effect. The poor blocking observed with L3T4 mAb did not correlate with the almost complete blocking observed in the IL 2 response by the same hybridomas. These studies of the syngeneic anti-RCS tumor response directed against IA-bearing RCS showed that the conjugate assay permits mapping of tumor-associated Ia epitopes. In addition, the results of these studies demonstrate the feasibility of conjugate formation in determining the antigenic specificity of the T helper system. This assay system can be used to establish the minimal frequency of antigen-reactive cells and can divide the T helper response into multiple steps (i.e., recognition/binding, activation, proliferation, and lymphokine release) and determine the surface membrane molecules involved in recognition. 相似文献

Antigen-specific murine T cell clones produce soluble interleukin 2 receptor on stimulation with specific antigens 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

In this study, we used monoclonal antibodies to the murine IL 2 receptor (IL 2R) termed 3C7 and 7D4, which bind to different epitopes on the murine IL 2R, to develop an ELISA to measure soluble murine IL 2R. Surprisingly, stimulated murine spleen cells not only expressed cell-associated IL 2R, but also produced a considerable level of cell free IL 2R in the culture supernatant fluid. To assess the fine specificity of this response, myoglobin-immune murine T cell clones were stimulated with appropriate or inappropriate antigen and syngeneic or allogeneic presenting cells. Proliferation, measured by [3H] thymidine incorporation, and levels of soluble IL 2R were determined at day 4. The production of soluble IL 2R displayed the same epitope fine specificity, genetic restriction, and antigen dose-response as the proliferative response. Indeed, in some cases there was sharper discrimination of epitope specificity and genetic restriction with the soluble IL 2R levels. There was also reproducible clone-to-clone variation in the amount of soluble receptor produced in response to antigen among 12 T cell clones and lines tested. In time course experiments, proliferation was greatest at day 3, whereas soluble IL 2R levels continued to rise in subsequent days. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of release or secretion of soluble IL 2R by murine T cells, and the first demonstration of the fine specificity and genetic restriction of the induction of soluble IL 2R by specific antigen. 相似文献

CD5 is a 67-kDa antigen that is expressed on the membrane of the majority of human T cells, and on a subset of B cells. Previous studies have demonstrated that anti-CD5 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) can provide a helper signal for T cell activation through the TCR/CD3 complex. We now demonstrate that when CD5 is crosslinked by immobilized anti-CD5 mAb in the absence of other activating stimuli, the T cells proliferate in response to recombinant interleukin 2 (rIL2) (but not to rIL4). Four different anti-CD5 mAb (anti-Leu1, 10.2, anti-T1, and OKT1) had a similar effect. IL2 responsiveness could be induced with immobilized anti-CD5 mAb in cultures of purified T cells, but was enhanced by the addition of monocytes, by monocyte culture supernatant, or by the combination of IL1 and IL6. Staining with an anti-IL2 receptor (p55) mAb demonstrated expression of IL2 receptors on about 10% of the anti-CD5-stimulated T cells. Both virgin (CD45RA+) and memory (CD45RO+) T cells were responsive. Our data provide further evidence for the involvement of CD5 in T cell activation. 相似文献

HAb18G/CD147, a glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin super‐family (IgSF), is a T cell activation‐associated molecule. In this report, we demonstrated that HAb18G/CD147 expression on both activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells was up‐regulated. In vitro cross‐linking of T cells with an anti‐HAb18G/CD147 monoclonal antibody (mAb) 5A12 inhibited T cells proliferation upon T cell receptor stimulation. Such co‐stimulation inhibited T cell proliferation by down‐regulating the expression of CD25 and interleukin‐2 (IL‐2), decreased production of IL‐4 but not interferon‐γ. Laser confocal imaging analysis indicated that HAb18G/CD147 was recruited to the immunological synapse (IS) during T cell activation; triggering HAb18G/CD147 on activated T cells by anti‐HAb18G/CD147 mAb 5A12 strongly dispersed the formation of the IS. Further functional studies showed that the ligation of HAb18G/CD147 with mAb 5A12 decreased the tyrosine phosphorylation and intracellular calcium mobilization levels of T cells. Through docking antibody–antigen interactions, we demonstrated that the function of mAb 5A12 is tightly dependent on its specificity of binding to N‐terminal domain I, which plays pivotal role in the oligomerization of HAb18G/CD147. Taken together, we provide evidence that HAb18G/CD147 could act as a co‐stimulatory receptor to negatively regulate T cell activation and is functionally linked to the formation of the IS. 相似文献

Differential effect of cyclosporin A on the expression of T and B lymphocyte activation antigens 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
H S Lillehoj T R Malek E M Shevach 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1984,133(1):244-250
We have used a monoclonal antibody (Mab) to the interleukin 2 (IL 2) receptor as well as a Mab to the transferrin receptor to analyze the effects of cyclosporin A (CsA) on the induction and expression of these activation antigens on mitogen-stimulated murine T and B lymphocytes. The same concentration (0.25 microgram/ml) of CsA that produced optimal inhibition of the T cell proliferative response to concanavalin A (Con A) was also very effective at inhibiting IL 2 production and the induction of IL 2 responsiveness, as well as the expression of the IL 2 and transferrin receptors when measured 72 hr after mitogen activation. Surprisingly, CsA only minimally inhibited expression of these receptors 24 hr after the addition of mitogen; however, T cell blasts recovered from these cultures failed to respond to IL 2 even though IL 2 receptor expression was only modestly decreased. These results suggest that inhibition of the maturation of receptor expression is secondary to an early effect of CsA in blocking the induction of IL 2 responsiveness or to an arrest in the sequence of events required for maturation of T cells that bear high densities of these receptors. In contrast to the results observed with T lymphocytes, CsA had no effect on the B cell proliferative response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or on the induction of the IL 2 and transferrin receptors on activated B lymphocytes. 相似文献

Stages of T cell activation: continued antigen dependence of IL 2-producing cells after IL 2 receptor expression 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Alloantigen stimulation leads, within 48 to 72 hr, to the expression of IL 2 receptors (IL 2R) on the surface of most of the helper T cells with specificity for the stimulating antigens. The IL 2R-bearing cells, separated by flow cytometry from 3-day human or mouse mixed lymphocyte cultures, were found by limiting dilution methods to be enriched 10- to 20-fold (compared to IL 2R- cells) for antigen-specific helper T cells detected by IL 2 production. Although these cells have been activated to an IL 2R+ stage, most of them are unable to produce detectable IL 2 unless they are cultured together with the original, activating antigen. Even when IL 2 is supplied, and lymphokine production measured by assay of a second factor, IL 3, the large majority of individual activated helper T cells remain dependent on further antigenic exposure for their continued maturation into lymphokine-secreting effectors. Helper T cells at this early stage of activation can therefore proliferate when given IL 2 alone, but lymphokine secretion involves a second antigen-dependent step. 相似文献

It is well established that IL 2 plays an important role in the proliferative response of T cells. Activated B cells were also recently found to express IL 2 receptors. The present studies were designed to compare qualitative, quantitative, and functional aspects of IL 2 receptor expression by activated T and B cells. Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-activated human T and small resting B cells and enhanced the expression of HLA-DR, HLA-DC/DS, and transferrin receptors while reducing Leu-4 antigen expression by T cells and IgM and IgD expression on B cells. PMA induced both T and B cells to express functional IL 2 receptors before cellular proliferation. Immune interferon did not participate in this induction. The m.w. of the IL 2 receptors expressed by activated T and B cells was identical: 54,000 to 59,000. Several differences were noted in the expression of IL 2 receptors by activated T and B cells on stimulation with PMA; T cells expressed IL 2 receptors sooner than B cells and in higher density, and the enhanced proliferative response of T cells to IL 2 was more difficult to inhibit with antibody to IL 2 receptors. In addition, IL 2 enhanced the expression of transferrin receptors by activated T cells but did not have a similar effect on activated B cells. Small B cells from the blood could also be induced by a mitogenic monoclonal anti-IgM antibody to express functional IL 2 receptors. Relatively large B cells in fresh blood samples were found to express functional IL 2 receptors and were capable of a modest proliferative response to IL 2. The intensity of the IL 2 receptor expression and the proliferative response by large B cells were enhanced by PMA stimulation. The data suggest that IL 2 receptors may play an auxiliary role in the B cell proliferative response and that IL 2 may exert its effect at a late phase in the B cell activation process. 相似文献

We developed a specific adenoviral gene delivery system with monoclonal antibody (mAb) AF-20 that binds to a 180 kDa antigen highly expressed on human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. A bifunctional Fab-antibody conjugate (2Hx-2-AF-20) was generated through AF-20 mAb crosslinkage to an anti-hexon antibody Fab fragment. Uptake of adenoviral particles and gene expression was examined in FOCUS HCC and NIH 3T3 cells by immunofluorescence; beta-galactosidase expression levels were determined following competitive inhibition of adenoviral CAR receptor by excess fibre knob protein. The chimeric complex was rapidly internalized at 37 degrees C, and enhanced levels of reporter gene expression was observed in AF-20 antigen positive HCC cells, but not in AF-20 antigen negative NIH 3T3 control cells. Targeting of recombinant adenoviral vectors to a tumor associated antigen by a bifunctional Fab-antibody conjugate is a promising approach to enhance specificity and efficiency of gene delivery to HCC. 相似文献

Inhibition of IL 2-driven proliferation of murine T lymphocyte clones by supraoptimal levels of immobilized anti-T cell receptor monoclonal antibody 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Both cloned murine helper T lymphocytes (HTL) and cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) proliferated and secreted lymphokines when stimulated with immobilized anti-T cell receptor monoclonal antibody (anti-TCR mAb). However, although proliferation of CTL increased and reached plateau levels as concentrations of anti-TCR mAb were increased, the proliferation of HTL decreased with high concentrations of anti-TCR mAb. A reduction of IL 2-dependent proliferation by CTL was observed when IL 2 was added to cultures of CTL in the presence of high concentrations of anti-TCR mAb, whereas IL 2-independent proliferation appeared to be unaffected by these concentrations of anti-TCR mAb. Inhibition of IL 2-driven proliferation caused by high concentrations of immobilized anti-TCR mAb did not seem to be mediated by soluble factors. Cells continued to express cell surface receptors for IL 2 and transferrin after treatment with immobilized anti-TCR mAb. Inhibition of IL 2-driven proliferation by high concentrations of immobilized anti-TCR mAb may represent a mechanism for regulating the proliferation of T lymphocytes. This inhibitory mechanism is initiated by stimulation of the T cell receptor, in this case by immobilized anti-TCR mAb, and is independent of other cells and factors. 相似文献

Bacterial lipopolysaccharide-induced interferon-gamma production: roles of interleukin 1 and interleukin 2 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17

Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to produce interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). Monocytes play a mandatory accessory role in this process, because purified T lymphocytes failed to produce IFN-gamma in response to LPS and the addition of 2% monocytes to T cell cultures resulted in an optimal LPS-induced IFN-gamma production. IFN-gamma production was abolished in the presence of monoclonal antibodies specific for HLA-DR antigen. Addition of exogenous interleukin 2 (IL 2) markedly enhanced IFN-gamma secretion by PBMC induced with LPS. The addition of anti-Tac antibody specific for IL 2 receptors abrogated IFN-gamma production, suggesting that an interaction of IL 2 with IL 2 receptors was involved. By using a specific antibody binding assay, LPS was shown to amplify IL 2 receptor expression on PBMC, whereas exogenous IL 2 showed only a negligible enhancing effect on the expression of its own receptors. Interleukin 1 (IL 1), a product of LPS-stimulated monocytes, potentiated IL 2-induced IFN-gamma production in the absence of LPS. Neither IL 1 nor IL 2 alone induced IFN-gamma production in purified T lymphocyte cultures. When added together, however, substantial levels of IFN-gamma were induced. An enhanced IL 2 receptor expression on T cells was also demonstrated as a result of the combined action of IL 1 and IL 2. These results suggest that induction of IFN-gamma by LPS is due mainly to the generation of IL 1 and an enhanced expression of IL 2 receptors. 相似文献

Human activated T cells, long-term cultured in the presence of interleukin 2 (IL 2), were compared with autologous Epstein Barr virus-transformed B lymphoblastoid cell lines for expression of human leukocyte (HLA)-HLA-DR and -DQ antigens and for ability to induce proliferative responses in autologous and allogeneic lymphocytes. Immunofluorescence analysis performed with a panel of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) specific for HLA-DR or -DQ antigens did not reveal any significant difference in the expression of HLA-DR antigens but revealed reduced expression of HLA-DQ antigens on two out of four T cell lines tested. No obvious difference could be detected in the two-dimensional gel electrophoretic profile of HLA-DR and -DQ beta-chains synthesized by the autologous pairs of B and T cell lines. In contrast with previous reports, the IL 2-dependent cell lines consistently induced alloproliferative responses in standard 6-day mixed lymphocyte cultures; however, these responses were severalfold lower than those elicited by the autologous B lymphoid lines. Both anti-HLA-DR and anti-HLA-DQ mAb blocked the proliferative responses induced by the B cell lines but did not affect those generated by the T cell lines, suggesting that the latter cells induce T lymphocyte activation via a mechanism independent of HLA-DR or -DQ antigen expression on their surface. Addition of IL 2 to the mixed cultures with B cell lines as stimulators did not affect the outcome of the proliferative responses but partially or completely reversed the blocking activity of the mAb. In contrast, IL 2 significantly enhanced the alloproliferation induced by the T lymphoblastoid cell lines, and the anti-HLA class II mAb partially antagonized this effect. Taken together, these data suggest that unlike the HLA-DR and -DQ gene products on B cells, those on IL 2-dependent long-term cultured T cells do not play a direct or primary stimulatory role in the mixed lymphocyte reaction; the reduced levels of alloproliferation induced by the T cell lines are, at least in part, due to a defective production of endogenous IL 2 by the responder lymphocytes rather than to a defective expression of IL 2 receptors by the alloproliferative T cell subset; and the anti-HLA class II mAb in these cultures act only at the responder cell level, since they can efficiently block the enhancement of T cell proliferation triggered by exogenous IL 2, but not the proliferative responses induced by T cell lines in standard conditions. 相似文献

The role of interleukin 2 and T11 E rosette antigen in activation and proliferation of human NK clones 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
R E Schmidt T Hercend D A Fox A Bensussan G Bartley J F Daley S F Schlossman E L Reinherz J Ritz 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1985,135(1):672-678
Although considerable data have recently been accumulated regarding the functional role of natural killer (NK) cells, relatively little is known about the factors that regulate NK cell activity. In these studies, we evaluated the role of interleukin 2 (IL 2) and the expression of the IL 2 receptor in the activation and proliferation of human NK cloned cell lines. By using a series of cloned cell lines, we were able to analyze homogeneous populations of NK cells that ordinarily comprise only a small fraction of peripheral blood lymphocytes and are extremely heterogeneous with respect to phenotypes and cytotoxic specificities. In comparison with several T cell clones, we found a much lower density of IL 2 receptors on NK clones, regardless of whether or not these cloned cells had a mature T cell phenotype. Correspondingly, NK clones needed a 10-fold higher concentration of recombinant IL 2 for maximal proliferation. Moreover, blocking studies with specific monoclonal IL 2 receptor antibodies indicated that IL 2 is both necessary and sufficient to induce the proliferation of NK clones. Because the majority of peripheral blood NK cells and NK clones express the T11 E rosette receptor antigen, which has been shown to be an antigen-independent activation pathway for T cells, we were able to study the role of monoclonal anti-T11 antibodies in the activation of various NK clones for which a specific target antigen is not known. In contrast to T cell clones, the induction of IL 2 receptor expression after T11 activation was possible only for some NK clones such as JT10 and JT3, but not for CNK5. Before activation, the IL 2 receptor expression of NK clones was confined to cells in the G2 - M phase, but after T11 activation the more pronounced IL 2 receptor expression became independent of the cell cycle. With respect to the direct proliferative effect of anti-T11 activation that has been noted with T cell clones, only the T3+ (JT10) and not the T3- NK clones could be directly stimulated. Nevertheless, IL 2 receptor expression could be triggered on some T3- clones such as JT3. Because T11-induced proliferation of T cells has been shown to be dependent on both the expression of the IL 2 receptor and on the interaction of this receptor with IL 2, it is proposed that the different responses of NK cells to T11 activation may reflect the ability of the individual clone to produce endogenous IL 2, as well as its ability to express the IL 2 receptor. 相似文献

Previous analyses of the inhibitory effects of anti-Lyt-2 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) on cytolytic activity suggested that Lyt-2/3 antigens expressed on the surface of murine cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) are involved in antigen recognition. In the present study, we investigated the effects of anti-Lyt-2 mAb (in the absence of complement) on the functional activities of H-2K/D-specific Lyt-2+ CTL clones that proliferate to antigenic stimulation in the absence of helper T cells or added interleukin 2 (IL 2) and secrete lymphokines. For those clones that were inhibited in cytolysis by anti-Lyt-2 mAb, a parallel inhibition of antigen-dependent proliferation and lymphokine secretion (interferon, macrophage-activating factor) was observed. Inhibition of proliferation or lymphokine secretion could be overcome by the addition of IL 2 or lectin, respectively. Collectively, these results would strongly suggest that anti-Lyt-2 mAb were inhibiting CTL antigen recognition. Not all CTL clones, however, were inhibited in cytolysis by anti-Lyt-2 mAb, in which case proliferation and lymphokine secretion were similarly unaffected. This heterogeneity of Lyt-2+ CTL clones in their susceptibility to inhibition of cytolytic activity, proliferation, and lymphokine secretion by anti-Lyt-2 mAb is discussed in the context of a model proposing that Lyt-2/3 molecules function to stabilize the interaction between CTL receptors and the corresponding target/stimulating cell antigens. Such a stabilization may be required by CTL possessing few and/or low affinity receptors. 相似文献

Requirements for T cell activation by OKT3 monoclonal antibody: role of modulation of T3 molecules and interleukin 1 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
R Schwab M K Crow C Russo M E Weksler 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1985,135(3):1714-1718
The requirements for activation of human peripheral blood T cells by the mitogenic monoclonal antibody OKT3 were examined. OKT3 binds to a T cell molecule, T3, associated with the T cell antigen receptor and involved in T cell activation. Activation of T cells by OKT3 requires signals provided by accessory cells and is IL 2 dependent. In the presence of accessory cells, OKT3 induces loss of T3 molecules from the cell surface, production of IL 2, expression of IL 2 receptors, and proliferation. Modulation of T3 molecules by OKT3 can be induced in the absence of accessory cells with anti-mouse IgG. These T cells, however, are not induced to express IL 2 receptors or secrete IL 2. The addition of IL 1 induces expression of IL 2 receptors, but does not induce IL 2 secretion or proliferation. Thus, peripheral blood T cells appear to have different requirements for activation compared with antigen-specific T cell clones that can be induced to produce IL 2 when stimulated with OKT3 and IL 1. Expression of IL 2 receptors does not require modulation of T3 molecules, because the binding of OKT3 to T cells in the presence of IL 1 alone is sufficient to induce IL 2 receptor expression. The results suggest that IL 2 secretion depends on cross-linking and modulation of T3 molecules, and additional, as yet undefined, accessory cell signals. The expression of IL 2 receptors and proliferation of T cells can be induced in the absence of these signals when exogenous IL 2 is provided. 相似文献

Mice bearing the recessive gene lpr develop an autoimmune syndrome associated with a massive lymphadenopathy, both of which are age and thymus dependent. The predominant accumulating cells in lymphoid tissue of lpr/lpr mice are Thy-1+ but express neither of the mature T cell markers, Lyt-2 or L3T4. We have purified this Lyt-2-/L3T4- subset and examined its phenotype. These cells are not actively cycling, do not express interleukin-2 (IL 2) receptors nor significant levels of antigen receptor, but do express the B cell marker B220. In vitro growth conditions were examined for the lpr Lyt-2-/L3T4- subset. By using a combination of phorbol ester and IL 2, these cells acquired transient expression of IL 2 receptors and grew in an IL 2-dependent manner. Furthermore, these proliferating cells underwent differentiation to a more mature T cell phenotype, with loss of cell surface B220 and acquisition, by a portion, of antigen receptor and Lyt-2. The possible parallels with normal T cell maturation are discussed. 相似文献
