Cytolytic T Cell Clones against H-2I Region Products: An Analysis Using Monoclonal Antibodies against Ia, Lyt-2 and P94, 180 Cell Surface Antigens

The inhibitory capacity of 17 monoclonal antibodies (m.Ab.) specific for the products of the I-Ak subregion was evaluated in proliferative responses of B10.BR T-lymphocytes to GAT, Keyhole limpet hemocyanin, and ovalbumin. Considered in isolation, each m.Ab. mediated inhibitory effects of comparable magnitude on these three different proliferative responses. On the other hand, clear differences were observed when the magnitude of the inhibitory effects was compared from one m.Ab. to another. The m.Ab. were consequently classified as strong or moderate-to-weak inhibitors of T-cell proliferative responses. Evidence was simultaneously gained indicating the following: (a) the determinants recognized by different m.Ab. were expressed on the same molecules; (b) the differences in affinity of the m.Ab. for I-Ak positive cells did not explain their differences in inhibitory capacities; (c) conversely, the inhibitory capacity of each m.Ab. followed its ability to inhibit the cell surface fixation of Ia.17-specific 10-2.16 m.Ab; (d) the strong inhibitory capacity of some m.Ab. was not related to a special ability to modulate cell surface Ia molecules. These results suggest that antigen recognition by T lymphocytes is preferentially restricted by a functional site of the I-Ak molecules related to the Ia.17 and Ia.1 specificities.

We screened monoclonal antibodies obtained by xenogeneic immunization for their capacity to inhibit T cell-mediated cytolysis. These antibodies fell into two classes according to the cell structures they recognized, of 30-35 K and 94-180 K apparent molecular weight, respectively. The main features of these structures and of their interaction with the corresponding antibodies were reviewed. The inhibition of cytolysis by these antibodies was shown to occur mainly at the effector cell level, at the recognition stage of cytolysis, and to depend on the nature of target cells, effector cells, and link between these cells. T cell functions other than cytolysis were also inhibited by some of these antibodies. We considered various possible mechanisms to account for the inhibition of cytolysis by these mAb. We favor an hypothesis based on inhibition by these mAb of lymphoid cell surface interaction structures. This hypothesis was discussed within the general framework of cell interaction structures in immunological and non-immunological experimental systems.
