Abstract:
:Both CD8 and CD2 are T cell surface receptors involved in physical cell interaction and in transmembrane signalling. The present paper addresses their role in the induction of two different functions of the cloned murine cytotoxic T cell C196: target cell lysis and IFN-gamma production. These functions were induced in C196 either by stimulation with the specific stimulator/target cell P815 or, bypassing specific recognition, by the aCD3 hybridoma 145-2C11 or by solid phase aTCR antibodies. These responses were tested for their susceptibility to inhibition/enhancement by a panel of aCD8 and aCD2 mAb. In addition, CD8 deficient and CD8/CD2 double-deficient variants of C196 were transfected with the CD8 and CD2 genes and the resulting cell lines were analysed for their functional capacities. The following results were obtained: (i) CD8 is primarily important in the specific recognition process of activated CTL; (ii) transmembrane signalling of activated CTL through the TCR does not require CD8, nor is it sensitive to modification through CD8; (iii) CTL can nevertheless be directly activated through CD8; however, this is restricted to induction of cytotoxicity but does not result in IFN-gamma production; (iv) CD2 does not seem to be important in any of these responses.
