Abstract

Natural killer (NK) cells express surface receptors for defined groups of HLA class I alleles. The specific interaction between these receptors and HLA class I molecules expressed on target cells results in inhibition of NK-mediated target cell lysis. In this report, we analyzed whether similar mechanisms were operating in cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTLs) capable of lysing NK-sensitive target cells. T cell clones were screened for their ability to lyse K562 target cells. The selected clones expressed either gamma delta or alpha beta TCR. The majority of these clones failed to lyse the HLA class I+ R8/15375 cell line; however, upon addition of the previously described A6-136 (IgM) or 6A4 F(ab')2 anti-HLA class I mAbs, target cells were efficiently lysed. Lysis of autologous phytohemagglutinin blasts in the presence of anti-HLA class I mAbs occurred primarily with TCR gamma delta+ CTLs. Recognition of HLA class I molecules on target cells implies the expression of NK-related specific receptors in CTL clones. Indeed, phenotypic analysis of > 300 CTL clones with NK-like activity revealed that 28% expressed p58 molecules (specific for HLA-C alleles) while 30% expressed CD94 molecules (specific for the Bw6 specificity). These receptor ...Continue Reading
