Several cell clones derived from cell lines obtained from a rat thyroid carcinoma, induced by in vivo injection of the Kirsten murine sarcoma virus into thyroid gland, and from its spontaneous lung metastases were analysed for their major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antigen expression. The susceptibility to natural killer (NK) cell lysis of these clones, differing in their levels of MHC class I antigen expression, was determined and found to vary inversely with the target cell MHC level, confirming numerous reports of the literature. We then tried to localize the step of the multistage natural cytotoxic process, in which class I antigens could interfere, and tested first whether lymphokine (IL-2) activation of the killer (LAK) cells could overcome the differences in MHC class I expression of target cells. As this did not appear to be the case, we studied the binding step by either a cold target inhibition assay and a target binding assay and found that target cells expressing class I antigens show a lower competitive capacity for effector cells than targets not expressing such antigens, indicating that this interference may occur, at least in our system, in the binding step of the cytotoxic process.

D007694 Killer Cells, Natural Bone marrow-derived lymphocytes that possess cytotoxic properties, classically directed against transformed and virus-infected cells. Unlike T CELLS; and B CELLS; NK CELLS are not antigen specific. The cytotoxicity of natural killer cells is determined by the collective signaling of an array of inhibitory and stimulatory CELL SURFACE RECEPTORS. A subset of T-LYMPHOCYTES referred to as NATURAL KILLER T CELLS shares some of the properties of this cell type.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D002999 Clone Cells A group of genetically identical cells all descended from a single common ancestral cell by mitosis in eukaryotes or by binary fission in prokaryotes. Clone cells also include populations of recombinant DNA molecules all carrying the same inserted sequence.

D003602 Cytotoxicity, Immunologic The phenomenon of target cell destruction by immunologically active effector cells. It may be brought about directly by sensitized T-lymphocytes or by lymphoid or myeloid "killer" cells, or it may be mediated by cytotoxic antibody, cytotoxic factor released by lymphoid cells, or complement.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT).
