IL 2 receptor induction on human T lymphocytes: role for IL 2 and monocytes

H Wakasugi, J Bertoglio, T Tursz and D Fradelizi

In this report we studied the requirements for the activation and proliferation of highly purified human T lymphocytes. Purified T cells incubated for 3 days with PHA neither proliferate nor express IL 2 receptors as detected by FACS analysis with the use of anti-Tac antibodies. However, purified T cells incubated with Con A or anti-T3 moAb do not proliferate, albeit 30 to 35% T cells express Tac epitopes. The addition of IL 2, either natural purified or recombinant, resulted in both the appearance of Tac antigen and the proliferation of PHA- activated T cells. Much to our surprise, IL 2 did not induce proliferation of Tac-positive T cells activated by Con A or soluble anti-T3 unless monocytes were added to the cultures. These data suggested that two classes of IL 2 receptors might exist on T cells, one of which was not functionally involved in T cell proliferation. In keeping with this interpretation, we have been able to demonstrate, using a radiolabeled IL 2 binding assay, that anti-T3 moAb induced almost exclusively IL 2 receptors of low affinity (Kd = 30 to 70 X 10(- 9) M) and that additional signals, provided by monocytes, are required for the acquisition of high affinity receptors. IL 2 itself can induce high affinity receptors on PHA-stimulated T cells but not on cells activated by Con A or anti-T3. In this latter case the physical presence of monocytes is required and cannot be substituted by IL 1, thus indicating a previously unreported role for monocytes. It is postulated that the contact of monocytes with T cells induces a switch from an inactive low affinity conformation of the IL 2 receptor to a functional high affinity one.
