چکیده

Three cell surface antigens associated with the CTL-target cell interaction were previously identified by generation of mAb against OKT4+, HLA-DR-specific CTL, and selection for inhibition of cytolysis in a 51Cr-release assay. In this report, we showed that these mAb inhibit cytolysis by blocking CTL-target cell conjugate formation. It appears that LFA-1, LFA-2, and LFA-3 are cell surface structures involved in strengthening effector-target adhesion that accompanies antigen-specific recognition.

Blocking of CTL-mediated killing by monoclonal antibodies to LFA-1 and Lyt-2, 3. II. Evidence that trypsin pretreatment of target cells removes a non-H-2 molecule important in killing.

We sought additional evidence for an inverse relationship between functional CTL-target cell affinity on the one hand, and susceptibility of the CTL-mediated killing to inhibition by alpha LFA-1 and alpha Lyt-2,3 monoclonal antibodies on the other hand. Previously, we experimentally reduced affinity by pretreating the target cells with papain. This removed most of the class I H-2 antigens, had ...

Downregulation of cell adhesion molecules LFA-3 and ICAM-1 in Epstein- Barr virus-positive Burkitt's lymphoma underlies tumor cell escape from virus-specific T cell surveillance

Some EBV+ BL cell lines continue to grow as single cells on in vitro passage, show an unusually restricted expression of EBV-latent genes and retain a BL biopsy-like cell surface phenotype (group I/II lines); others change to growth in aggregates, show a broader pattern of virus latent gene expression, and develop a cell surface phenotype more characteristic of EBV-transformed LCL (group III li...

Abnormal cytolytic activity of lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1-deficient human cytolytic T lymphocyte clones.

The involvement of the lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) membrane molecule in cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL) interactions with lymphoid target cells was investigated using CTL clones derived from two patients with a heritable deficiency of LFA-1. LFA-1 surface expression on the CTL clones was 1% of the normal level of LFA-1, unchanged with prolonged culture, and identical on 14 dif...

Lipid rafts mediate association of LFA-1 and CD3 and formation of the immunological synapse of CTL.

Lipid rafts accumulate in the immunological synapse formed by an organized assembly of the TCR/CD3, LFA-1, and signaling molecules. However, the precise role of lipid rafts in the formation of the immunological synapse is unclear. In this study, we show that LFA-1 on CTL is constitutively active and mediates Ag-independent binding of CTL to target cells expressing its ligands. LFA-1 and CD3 on ...

Distinct role of lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 in mediating effective cytolytic activity by cytotoxic T lymphocytes.

Lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) interaction with intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs) facilitates T cell antigen receptor (TCR)-mediated killing. To dissect TCR and LFA-1 contributions, we evaluated cytolytic activity and granule release by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) as well as intracellular granule redistribution and morphology of CTL stimulated with natural TCR ligand ...
