Abstract

A transmembrane pump for organic anions was identified in resting murine T helper (Th) 2, but not Th1 lymphocyte cell clones, as revealed by extrusion of a fluorescent dye. Dye extrusion inhibition studies suggested that the pump may be the multidrug-resistance protein (MRP). The different expression of the pump in resting Th1 and Th2 cell clones correlated with their respective levels of MRP mRNA. The pump was inducible in Th1 cells by antigenic stimulation in vitro leading to equal expression in activated Th1 and Th2 cell clones. This suggested that dye extrusion might allow the detection of Th2 (resting or activated) or of activated Th1 cells ex vivo based on a functional parameter. To test this, mice were infected with Leishmania major parasites to activate L. major-specific T cells of either Th1 (C57BL/6 mice) or Th2 (BALB/c mice) phenotype: 2-3% of CD4+ lymph node T cells of both strains of mice extruded the dye, defining a cell subset that did not coincide with subsets defined by other activation markers. Fluorescence-activated cell-sorting revealed that the lymphokine response (Th1 or Th2, respectively) to L. major antigens was restricted to this dye-extruding subset.
