The role of the CD4 molecule in activation of T-helper cells was examined by investigating the effect of an anti-CD4 monoclonal antibody (Leu3a) in conventional peptide antigen-specific cloned T-helper cells that are also reactive to staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB). These T-helper cell clones are CD4+/CD45RO+/T-cell antigen receptor beta-chain variable region 12-positive and can respond to nominal peptide antigens and SEB by proliferation in the presence of class II major histocompatibility complex-expressing accessory cells. Although antigen and SEB were comparable in their ability to induce proliferative responses, interleukin 2 (IL-2) production, and IL-2 receptor alpha-chain expression, stimulation with SEB failed to trigger phosphatidylinositol hydrolysis or a rise in the intracellular free calcium ion concentration. Leu3a treatment inhibited antigen-induced proliferative responses of T cells with concomitant suppression of IL-2 production and IL-2 receptor expression. In contrast, SEB-induced responses were unaffected by Leu3a. These findings indicate that the functional consequences of binding (ligation) of conventional antigen and of superantigen with the T-cell receptor are distinct in the context of both signal transduction pathways and participation of CD4 molecules.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
