Abstract:
:Although gamma/delta T cells express numerous in vitro functions similar to alpha/beta T cells, little is known about their biological functioning in vivo. Furthermore, it is unclear whether alpha/beta T cells and gamma/delta T cells act independently or in a coordinated way. In the present study, gamma/delta T cells were modulated in vivo by i.p. injection of the anti-gamma/delta T-cell receptor (TCR) monoclonal antibody GL3. GL3 administration caused disappearance of the gamma/delta TCR in spleen and lymph node cells and the gamma/delta TCR was reexpressed after in vitro cultivation for a few days. When cultured in vitro for 4 days, in the absence of foreign antigens, spleen and lymph node alpha/beta T cells from GL3-modulated mice showed vigorous proliferative responses. CD4 T lymphocytes from GL3-modulated mice produced interleukin 2, and CD8 T cells developed into cytolytic T lymphocytes in vitro capable of lysing syngeneic and allogeneic targets. Treatment with heat-inactivated GL3 or with normal hamster immunoglobulin did not cause any of these effects. These findings suggest that the anti-gamma/delta TCR monoclonal antibody GL3 modulates gamma/delta T cells in vivo and that this modulation has profound effects on alpha/beta T-cell reactivity. Hence, the data suggest a role for gamma/delta T cells in the regulation of alpha/beta T-cell activation in vivo.
