Four out of six long-term murine cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) clones specific for trinitrophenyl (TNP)-modified spleen cells could develop an anomalous cytotoxicity against syngeneic and allogeneic tumor cells upon stimulation with TNP-modified spleen cells and high doses of human recombinant interleukin 2 (rIL-2). On FACS analysis, hyperactivated CTLs were positive for Thy-1, Ly 2 and LFA-1, but negative for L3T4 and asialo GM1. The staining profile of the cells with each antibody indicated that the CTL clones consisted of just one cell type. Monoclonal anti-Ly 2.2 and anti-LAA (lymphokine-activated cell-associated antigen) antibodies inhibited cytolysis of CTL and hyperactivated CTL clones against TNP-modified spleen cells, but failed to inhibit the anomalous killing of the hyperactivated CTL. The cold target competition test suggested the degeneracy of antigen specificity. The present study demonstrated that the CTL clone acquired a new specificity for tumor target cells upon stimulation with a high dose of rIL-2.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007111 Immunity, Cellular Manifestations of the immune response which are mediated by antigen-sensitized T-lymphocytes via lymphokines or direct cytotoxicity. This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role.

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.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000943 Antigens, Differentiation Antigens expressed primarily on the membranes of living cells during sequential stages of maturation and differentiation. As immunologic markers they have high organ and tissue specificity and are useful as probes in studies of normal cell development as well as neoplastic transformation.
