The susceptibility of NK cell-mediated cytolysis was compared between 5 human HTLV-I-transformed T cell lines and 10 newly established IL-2-dependent HTLV-I-infected lines. None of the cell lines were killed after 4 hr incubation with normal PBMC. However, after 20 hr, 3 HTLV-I-transformed lines were significantly lysed. All the HTLV-I-infected lines, except 2, weakly inhibited the NK cell-mediated lysis of K562 targets. They showed a reduced ability to bind normal PBMC as compared with control NK-sensitive T cell lines. The IL-2-dependent lines remained unaffected by PBMC from HTLV-I-infected individuals, including the autologous donors. In contrast to the HTLV-I-transformed lines, they were weakly lysed or not lysed at all by LAK cells and only 5 were killed by ADCC with HTLV-I+ sera and normal PBMC. Taken together, the results show that IL-2-dependent HTLV-I-infected T cells strongly resist NK cell-mediated cytolysis at a post-binding level and suggest that such cells may escape in vivo from non-specific, MHC-unrestricted cellular cytotoxicity.

D007694	Killer Cells, Natural	Bone marrow-derived lymphocytes that possess cytotoxic properties, classically directed against transformed and virus-infected cells. Unlike T CELLS; and B CELLS; NK CELLS are not antigen specific. The cytotoxicity of natural killer cells is determined by the collective signaling of an array of inhibitory and stimulatory CELL SURFACE RECEPTORS. A subset of T-LYMPHOCYTES referred to as NATURAL KILLER T CELLS shares some of the properties of this cell type.

D008285	Major Histocompatibility Complex	The genetic region which contains the loci of genes which determine the structure of the serologically defined (SD) and lymphocyte-defined (LD) TRANSPLANTATION ANTIGENS, genes which control the structure of the IMMUNE RESPONSE-ASSOCIATED ANTIGENS, HUMAN; the IMMUNE RESPONSE GENES which control the ability of an animal to respond immunologically to antigenic stimuli, and genes which determine the structure and/or level of the first four components of complement.

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.

D000920	Antibody-Dependent Cell Cytotoxicity	The phenomenon of antibody-mediated target cell destruction by non-sensitized effector cells. The identity of the target cell varies, but it must possess surface IMMUNOGLOBULIN G whose Fc portion is intact. The effector cell is a "killer" cell possessing Fc receptors. It may be a lymphocyte lacking conventional B- or T-cell markers, or a monocyte, macrophage, or polynuclear leukocyte, depending on the identity of the target cell. The reaction is complement-independent.

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.
