Expression of H-2I region-restricted cytolytic activity by an Lyt-2+ influenza virus-specific T lymphocyte clone. 1985

L A Morrison, and V L Braciale, and T J Braciale

The expression of Lyt-2 on T lymphocytes has been postulated to correlate closely with restriction by, or alloreactivity to, class I MHC gene products, whereas I region-restricted or alloreactive populations appear to be associated with Lyt-1 and L3T4 expression. However, exceptions to this axiom among alloreactive T cells have been shown to exist. In this report we describe a clonal population of influenza virus-specific T lymphocytes that bears the Lyt-2+, L3T4- phenotype. Notably, this clone is restricted in influenza virus recognition by class II MHC molecules and is cytolytic for virus-infected target cells expressing the appropriate class II molecules. Antibody directed to the Lyt-2 molecule does not inhibit cytolysis.

D009980 Influenza A virus The type species of the genus ALPHAINFLUENZAVIRUS that causes influenza and other diseases in humans and animals. Antigenic variation occurs frequently between strains, allowing classification into subtypes and variants. Transmission is usually by aerosol (human and most non-aquatic hosts) or waterborne (ducks). Infected birds shed the virus in their saliva, nasal secretions, and feces.

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.

D006649 Histocompatibility Antigens A group of antigens that includes both the major and minor histocompatibility antigens. The former are genetically determined by the major histocompatibility complex. They determine tissue type for transplantation and cause allograft rejections. The latter are systems of allelic alloantigens that can cause weak transplant rejection.
