Abstract:
:We have utilized the sensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to determine whether cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) hybridomas generated from peritoneal exudate lymphocytes (PEL) and mixed lymphocyte cultures (MLC) express transcripts for perforin and the cytotoxic cell proteinases CCP1 to CCP5. We could readily detect less than one transcript per cell using this methodology. Cytolytic activity could be induced to varying levels in four of the five hybridoma clones tested. With the exception of low level CCP2 expression in the MLC hybridoma MD45 following antigen stimulation, all of the hybridomas could be stimulated to function as potent cytolytic cells in the complete absence of perforin or CCP transcripts. PCR analysis utilizing actin primers indicated that all samples contained material which could be reverse transcribed and PCR-amplified. These results support the argument that populations of lymphocytes do exist that are capable of target cell lysis by an alternative mechanism not involving perforin and CCP.
