We studied in patients with hairy cell leukemia (HCL) whether autoreactive T cells could be isolated with specific reactivity to the HCL cells. HCL cells were activated via triggering of CD40 on the cell membrane and used as stimulator cells to generate autologous T-cell clones. Two types of CD4(+)BV2(+) T-cell clones with different CDR3 rearrangements and one type of CD4(+)BV8S3(+) T-cell clone were generated from the spleen or blood. These clones specifically recognized the autologous HCL cells, without reactivity to autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), phytohemagglutinin blasts, or Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B cells in a primed lymphocyte test. Blocking and panel studies using HCL cells from 11 other patients showed that recognition of the HCL cells by the BV2(+) T cells was restricted by HLA-DQA1*03/DQB1*0301, and the BV8S3(+) T cells were restricted by DPB1*04. The T-cell clones did not recognize DPB1*04(+) or DQ3(+) PBMC from healthy donors or DP/DQ matched malignant cells from patients with other hematologic malignancies, except for one patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. These HCL-specific T-cell clones may be used for the detection of an HCL-specific tumor antigen.

D007943 Leukemia, Hairy Cell A neoplastic disease of the lymphoreticular cells which is considered to be a rare type of chronic leukemia; it is characterized by an insidious onset, splenomegaly, anemia, granulocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, little or no lymphadenopathy, and the presence of "hairy" or "flagellated" cells in the blood and bone marrow.

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.

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.

D006682 HLA-DP Antigens A group of the D-related HLA antigens (human) found to differ from the DR antigens in genetic locus and therefore inheritance. These antigens are polymorphic glycoproteins comprising alpha and beta chains and are found on lymphoid and other cells, often associated with certain diseases.

D006683 HLA-DQ Antigens A group of the D-related HLA antigens found to differ from the DR antigens in genetic locus and therefore inheritance.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D015496 CD4-Positive T-Lymphocytes A critical subpopulation of T-lymphocytes involved in the induction of most immunological functions. The HIV virus has selective tropism for the T4 cell which expresses the CD4 phenotypic marker, a receptor for HIV. In fact, the key element in the profound immunosuppression seen in HIV infection is the depletion of this subset of T-lymphocytes.
