Ia antigen on peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes in man. II. Functional studies of HLA-DR-positive T cells activated in mixed lymphocyte reactions. 1980

E G Engleman, and C J Benike, and D J Charron

Blast transformation of T cells in response to allogeneic lymphocytes is followed by expression of HLA-DR antigen on up to 60% of the T cells. Murine monoclonal antibody to HLA-DR antigen was used to separate alloactivated T cells into those T cells that express high quantities of DR antigen (DR+) and those that express little or no DR antigen (DR-), and each population was tested in a variety of assays. DR+, but not DR-, T cells stimulated fresh allogeneic and autologous T cells to proliferate and supported proliferation by fresh autologous T cells to soluble antigens. Alloactivated T cells were suppressive of fresh mixed lymphocyte reactions (MLR) and suppression by irradiated DR+ T cells was specific for the DR antigens of the initial stimulator cell. Suppression of the MLR by DR+ T cells was not a result of altered kinetics or cell-mediated cytotoxicity. DR+ T cells released soluble factors that suppressed fresh allogeneic responses. These data indicate that alloactivated DR+ T cells may provide antigen-specific feedback inhibition of the MLR.

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.

D007519 Isoantigens Antigens that exist in alternative (allelic) forms in a single species. When an isoantigen is encountered by species members who lack it, an immune response is induced. Typical isoantigens are the BLOOD GROUP ANTIGENS. Alloantigens,Alloantigen,Isoantigen
D007959 Lymphocyte Culture Test, Mixed Measure of histocompatibility at the HL-A locus. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from two individuals are mixed together in tissue culture for several days. Lymphocytes from incompatible individuals will stimulate each other to proliferate significantly (measured by tritiated thymidine uptake) whereas those from compatible individuals will not. In the one-way MLC test, the lymphocytes from one of the individuals are inactivated (usually by treatment with MITOMYCIN or radiation) thereby allowing only the untreated remaining population of cells to proliferate in response to foreign histocompatibility antigens.

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.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.

D000949 Histocompatibility Antigens Class II Large, transmembrane, non-covalently linked glycoproteins (alpha and beta). Both chains can be polymorphic although there is more structural variation in the beta chains. The class II antigens in humans are called HLA-D ANTIGENS and are coded by a gene on chromosome 6. In mice, two genes named IA and IE on chromosome 17 code for the H-2 antigens. The antigens are found on B-lymphocytes, macrophages, epidermal cells, and sperm and are thought to mediate the competence of and cellular cooperation in the immune response. The term IA antigens used to refer only to the proteins encoded by the IA genes in the mouse, but is now used as a generic term for any class II histocompatibility antigen.

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.
