Characterization of NKT-cell hybridomas expressing invariant T-cell antigen receptors.

چکیده
Two natural killer T (NKT)-cell hybridomas were established by fusing sorted NKT cells with BW1100 thymoma cells. The first hybridoma line, 1B6, was CD4(+)8(-), whereas the second one, 2E10, was CD4(low)8(-). Initial characterizations revealed that both cell lines expressed an invariant T cell antigen receptor, which could be readily detected with alpha-galactosylceramide-loaded CD1d : Ig fusion protein (alpha-GalCer/CD1d). Sequence analyses of the alpha and beta chains of the T cell receptor V genes revealed that 1B6 and 2E10 cells expressed V alpha 14J alpha 18/V beta 8.2D beta 2J beta 2.7 and V alpha 14J alpha 18/V beta 8.1D beta 1J beta 1.1, respectively. When these hybridoma cells were stimulated with immobilized anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies, alpha-GalCer/CD1d, or alpha-GalCer in the presence of antigen-presenting cells, they produced IL-4 and IFN-gamma. The expression levels of CD69, CD154, and CD178 were concomitantly up-regulated on both hybridomas upon stimulation. Because it is difficult to isolate a sufficient number of NKT cells, these hybridomas should provide useful platforms to study a variety of functions of NKT cells.

Defective presentation of the CD1d1-restricted natural Va14Ja18 NKT lymphocyte antigen caused by beta-D-glucosylceramide synthase deficiency.
Va14Ja18 natural T (NKT) cells play an immunoregulatory role, which is controlled by a self glycolipid(s) presented by CD1d. Although the synthetic antigen alpha-D-galactosylceramide (alpha-D-GalCer) stimulates all Va14Ja18 NKT cells, alpha-anomeric D-glycosylceramides are currently unknown in mammals. We have used beta-D-GalCer-deficient mice and beta-D-glucosylceramide (beta-D-GlcCer)-deficie...

CD1d-restricted natural killer T (NKT) cells include two major subgroups. The most widely studied are Vα14Jα18(+) invariant NKT (iNKT) cells that recognize the prototypical α-galactosylceramide antigen, whereas the other major group uses diverse T-cell receptor (TCR) α-and β-chains, does not recognize α-galactosylceramide, and is referred to as diverse NKT (dNKT) cells. dNKT cells play importan...

Cell-based therapies using genetically engineered lymphocytes expressing antigen-specific T cell receptors (TCRs) hold promise for the treatment of several types of cancers. Almost all studies using this modality have focused on transfer of TCR from CD8 cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). The transfer of TCR from innate lymphocytes to other lymphocytes has not been studied. In the current study, in...

CD1 molecules belong to non-polymorphic MHC class I-like proteins and present lipid antigens to T cells. Five different CD1 genes (CD1a-e) have been identified and classified into two groups. Group 1 include CD1a-c and present pathogenic lipid antigens to αβ T cells reminiscence of peptide antigen presentation by MHC-I molecules. CD1d is the only member of Group 2 and presents foreign and self ...
متن کاملCD1d-restricted Help To B Cells By Human Invariant Natural Killer T Lymphocytes
Invariant natural killer T (NKT) cells are a highly conserved subset of T lymphocytes expressing a semi-invariant T cell receptor (TCR), which is restricted to CD1d and specific for the glycosphingolipid antigen alpha-galactosylceramide. Their ability to secrete a variety of cytokines, which in turn modulate the activation of cells of both innate and acquired immune responses, suggests that inv...
