Heterogeneity of channel catfish CTL with respect to target recognition and cytotoxic mechanisms employed.

چکیده
Two types of catfish alloantigen-dependent cytotoxic T cells were cloned from PBL from a fish immunized in vivo and stimulated in vitro with the allogeneic B cell line 3B11. Because these are the first clonal cytotoxic T cell lines derived from an ectothermic vertebrate, studies were undertaken to characterize their recognition and cytotoxic mechanisms. The first type of CTL (group I) shows strict alloantigen specificity, i.e., they specifically kill and proliferate only in response to 3B11 cells. The second type (group II) shows broad allogeneic specificity, i.e., they kill and proliferate in response to several different allogeneic cells in addition to 3B11. "Cold" target-inhibition studies suggest that group II CTL recognize their targets via a single receptor, because the killing of one allotarget can be inhibited by a different allotarget. Both types of catfish CTL form conjugates with and kill targets by apoptosis. Killing by Ag-specific cytotoxic T cells (group I) was completely inhibited by treatment with EGTA or concanamycin A, and this killing is sensitive to PMSF inhibition, suggesting that killing was mediated exclusively by the secretory perforin/granzyme mechanism. In contrast, killing by the broadly specific T cytotoxic cells (group II) was only partially inhibited by either EGTA or concanamycin A, suggesting that these cells use a cytotoxic mechanism in addition to that involving perforin/granzyme. Consistent with the presumed use of a secretory pathway, both groups of CTL possess putative lytic granules. These results suggest that catfish CTL show heterogeneity with respect to target recognition and cytotoxic mechanisms.

Heterogeneity and specificity of cloned lines of influenza-virus specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes
Continuous lines of murine cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) directed to type A influenza viruses have been generated in vitro by stimulation of individual CTL precursors in the presence of T cell-growth factor TCGF and syngeneic virus-infected stimulator cells. The cloned CTL lines are H-2 restricted in their target cell recognition and exhibit distinct patterns of influenza virus recognition. All...
متن کاملRole of self and foreign antigenic determinants in allogeneic and self- restricted cytotoxic T cell recognition
Murine spleen cells were sensitized in vitro to H-2 disparate allogeneic spleen cells and assayed on syngeneic target cells conjugated with the trinitrophenyl (TNP)-self or the fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-self haptens, or on syngeneic target cells expressing the male H-Y antigen (H-Y self). The results indicated that allo-induced cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) contained effectors that lyse...
متن کاملPossible involvement of the T4 molecule in T cell recognition of class II HLA antigens. Evidence from studies of CTL-target cell binding
The present study examines the potential role of the T4 molecule in functional cell-cell interactions between target cells and human cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) clones that are specific for HLA class II alloantigens encoded by the SB locus. There were marked differences (greater than 30-fold) between the seven SB-specific clones studied with respect to their susceptibility to inhibition by ant...
متن کاملResistance of cytotoxic T lymphocytes to lysis by a clone of cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
To investigate how cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) avoid killing themselves when they destroy target cells, we compared 20 different cell lines as target cells, including several CTL cell lines, for their susceptibility to lysis by CTL. Variations in recognition of this diverse set of target cells was circumvented by attaching to all of them a monoclonal antibody to the antigen-specific receptor ...
