Abstract

Alloreactive human T lymphocytes were cloned in soft agar or by limiting dilution and subsequently propagated with interleukin 2 and alloantigen for 8 months or more. By indirect immunofluorescence every clone was reactive with anti-Ia antibodies as well as the T cell-specific antibodies anti-T3 and anti-T11 and expressed either T4 or T8 antigens. All 15T8+ clones were highly cytotoxic for the sensitizing alloantigen. In contrast, only two of seven T4+ clones mediated cytotoxic effector function. The specificity of T4+ and T8+ clones and subclones was analyzed on a panel of typing cells and by antibody blocking studies of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) determinants on the stimulating alloantigen. It was found that T8+ clones killed targets that shared class I MHC antigens (HLA-A,B) with the original stimulator cells whereas cytotoxic T4+ clones were directed at class II MHC antigens (Ia-related). Preincubation of the allogeneic target cell with a monoclonal antibody to a nonpolymorphic HLA alpha-chain determinant inhibited killing by the T8+ clones but did not affect T4+ cytotoxic function. In a reciprocal fashion, anti-IA antibodies to common framework structures on the same target cell blocked killing by T4+ but not b...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
