The role of L3T4 in recognition of Ia by a cytotoxic, H-2Dd-specific T cell hybridoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
The expression of T4/T8 surface markers on human T cells and of L3T4/Lyt-2 on murine T cells has lead to the association of these surface markers with recognition of either class II or class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens. It has been suggested that these T cell surface antigens interact with MHC antigens. We have examined the role of L3T4 in the recognition of Dd by the T cell hybridoma, 3DT52.5. This T cell hybridoma was found to be specific for the N/Cl domain of Dd. The recognition of a class I antigen by an Lyt-2-, L3T4+ T cell hybridoma allowed the separate evaluation of interactions between L3T4/Ia and the T cell antigen receptor, Dd. Recognition by this hybridoma resulted in the production of interleukin 2 (IL-2) and cytolytic activity. Antibody blocking experiments have demonstrated that L3T4 was involved in triggering the effector function of 3DT52.5 only on Ia+ stimulator or target cells. We have demonstrated that an L3T4+, Dd-specific T cell hybridoma, 3DT52.5, uses the L3T4 molecule to directly interact with nonpolymorphic Ia determinants.

متن کاملH-2L-restricted recognition of viral antigens In the H-2d haplotype, anti-vesicular stomatitis virus cytotoxic T cells are restricted solely by H-2L
H-2d-encoded gene products were analyzed as restriction antigens for anti-vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Cold target competition experiments revealed that VSV recognition was H-2D region-restricted; H-2K-end-restricted recognition of VSV could not be demonstrated. That VSV is not recognized in the context of K-region-encoded gene products is also supported by th...
متن کاملCharacterization of antigen-specific, Ia-restricted, L3T4+ cytolytic T lymphocytes and assessment of thymic influence on their self specificity
The goals of the present study were: (a) to generate antigen-specific L3T4+ cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL), (b) to determine their major histocompatibility complex (MHC) restriction specificity, and (c) to assess the influence of thymic MHC determinants on their self specificity. We found that L3T4+ CTL specific for either trinitrophenyl (TNP)-modified self determinants or minor histocompatibili...
متن کاملAnti-L3T4 antibody inhibits the lysis of H-2 class II antigen-negative target cells by L3T4+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
Anti-L3T4 monoclonal antibodies inhibit the cytotoxic activity of L3T4+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes specific for H-2 class I antigens. The P815 target cells used to detect this population of murine cytolytic cells are shown by immunofluorescence, radioimmunoprecipitation, and RNA blot analysis not to express H-2 class II protein or mRNA. Contrary to previously proposed models regarding its function...

In an effort to elucidate the role of intrathymic Ia-bearing antigen-presenting cells (APC) on the development of the class II-restricted T cell repertoire, we examined the effect of neonatal anti-I-A treatment on both intrathymic and splenic APC function; on the generation of Lyt-2-,L3T4+, Lyt-2+,L3T4-, and Lyt-2+,L3T4+ T cells; and on the development of class I- and class II-specific T cell f...
