Functional properties of antigen-specific T cells infected by human T-cell leukemia-lymphoma virus (HTLV-I). 1984

Tetanus-toxoid specific helper-inducer T-cell clones, which had been infected and transformed by human T-cell leukemia-lymphoma virus (HTLV-I), were obtained from an antigen-specific human T cell line by using a limiting dilution technique in the presence of the virus. These HTLV-I-infected T-cell clones proliferated specifically in response to soluble tetanus toxoid but, unlike normal T cells, they could do so in the absence of accessory cells. The HTLV-I-infected T-cell clones did not present the antigen to autologous antigen-specific T cells that were not infected with HTLV-I. The capacity of helper-inducer T cells to retain antigen-specific reactivity after infection by HTLV-I, while losing the normal T-cell requirement for accessory cells, has clinical and theoretical implications.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
