Two Leu2(-), Leu3(+), Leu4(+) human cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) clones, BE-11 and AF-3, were generated against Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed cell line GI (Dw8/DRw8/DQWa homozygous). Blocking experiments with various monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) revealed that the former recognized the DR molecule and the latter recognized the DQ molecule, respectively. Panel studies showed that CTL clone BE-11 lysed not only DRw8-positive cells but also DR1-positive ones. CTL clone AF-3 exhibited cytotoxicity against only Dw8/DRw8/DQWa typed cells. Until now, such specificities have not been defined serologically or biochemically. These results demonstrated that the previously unknown DR and DQ specificities could be defined by CTL clones, suggesting that CTL clones might be especially valuable tools for investigating the structural polymorphism of HLA antigens.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002461 Cell Line, Transformed Eukaryotic cell line obtained in a quiescent or stationary phase which undergoes conversion to a state of unregulated growth in culture, resembling an in vitro tumor. It occurs spontaneously or through interaction with viruses, oncogenes, radiation, or drugs/chemicals. Transformed Cell Line,Cell Lines, Transformed,Transformed Cell Lines
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. (From King & Stansfield, Dictionary of Genetics, 4th ed) Clones,Cell, Clone,Cells, Clone,Clone,Clone Cell
D006681 HLA-D Antigens Human immune-response or Class II antigens found mainly, but not exclusively, on B-lymphocytes and produced from genes of the HLA-D locus. They are extremely polymorphic families of glycopeptides, each consisting of two chains, alpha and beta. This group of antigens includes the -DR, -DQ and -DP designations, of which HLA-DR is most studied; some of these glycoproteins are associated with certain diseases, possibly of immune etiology.

D001667 Binding, Competitive The interaction of two or more substrates or ligands with the same binding site. The displacement of one by the other is used in quantitative and selective affinity measurements. Competitive Binding
D013602 T-Lymphocytes, Cytotoxic Immunized T-lymphocytes which can directly destroy appropriate target cells. These cytotoxic lymphocytes may be generated in vitro in mixed lymphocyte cultures (MLC), in vivo during a graft-versus-host (GVH) reaction, or after immunization with an allograft, tumor cell or virally transformed or chemically modified target cell. The lytic phenomenon is sometimes referred to as cell-mediated lympholysis (CML). These CD8-positive cells are distinct from NATURAL KILLER CELLS and NATURAL KILLER T-CELLS. There are two effector phenotypes: TC1 and TC2.
