Abstract:
:We have previously described an antigen-specific I-Ad-restricted T-cell hybridoma, A1.1, that constitutively releases an antigen-specific immunoregulatory activity into supernatants. Using retrovirally mediated gene transfer, we have found that transfer of the T-cell receptor alpha chain (TCR alpha) gene from A1.1 to a number of other T-cell hybridomas effectively transferred the ability to produce the activity. Gene transfer of the TCR beta chain (TCR beta), however, did not transfer this ability. The regulatory activity from cells expressing the A1.1 TCR alpha bound to and was eluted from an anti-TCR alpha monoclonal antibody and displayed fine antigenic specificity identical to that of supernatants from A1.1. The possibility that this activity represents a secreted form of the TCR alpha (as opposed to shed cell-surface TCR) was examined in BW1100 cells, lacking TCR alpha and TCR beta, which produced the antigen-specific activity after gene transfer of the A1.1 TCR alpha gene. The expression of the immunoregulatory activity in supernatants correlated with a direct antigen-binding activity as detected by ELISA, thus raising the possibility that antigen binding is relevant to the mechanism of action of the soluble TCR alpha. We discuss these observations and our earlier studies suggesting an immunoregulatory role for soluble TCR alpha.
