The contribution of co-receptors in signal transduction upon T cell receptor (TCR)-mediated recognition of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigen by mature T lymphocytes expressing TCR derived from the apparently co-receptor-independent, I-Ak-specific allogeneic CD8+ CTL clone QM11 has been examined. Mature double-negative, CD8+ and CD4+ bulk T cell lines and clones expressing TCR(QM11) were developed from TCR(QM11) transgenic mice. All these T cells, irrespective of co-receptor expression, showed specific lytic activity on cells expressing I-Ak. Furthermore, co-receptorless mutants were obtained from a CD4+ and CD8+ clone. The responses of these co-receptorless mutants upon specific recognition of the alloantigen, as judged by cytolytic activity, granule exocytosis, lymphokine production, proliferation, and tyrosine phosphorylation of the zeta chain, were comparable to those of the original clones. Thus, the results proved the co-receptor independence of the recognition of I-Ak by TCR(QM11) and further indicated there is no indispensable unique signal transduced by co-receptors. However, when the amount of the available antigen was limited by anti-I-Ak antibody, the CD4+ T cell clone showed a remarkable resistance to the inhibition whereas the mismatched CD8+ clone was readily inhibitable. The anti-I-Ak-resistant component of the CD4+ clone showed dependency on the CD4 molecule. Taken collectively, the results indicate that the role played by a co-receptor molecule in mature T cells is purely quantitative amplification of the signal through the formation of a TCR/MHC/co-receptor ternary complex, and also indicate that the role of co-receptor molecules as TCR-independent adhesion molecules is at best minimal.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides

D011948 Receptors, Antigen, T-Cell Molecules on the surface of T-lymphocytes that recognize and combine with antigens. The receptors are non-covalently associated with a complex of several polypeptides collectively called CD3 antigens (CD3 COMPLEX). Recognition of foreign antigen and the major histocompatibility complex is accomplished by a single heterodimeric antigen-receptor structure, composed of either alpha-beta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, ALPHA-BETA) or gamma-delta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, GAMMA-DELTA) chains.

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.
