Regulatory role of a monomorphic determinant of HLA Class I antigens in T cell proliferation

MC Turco, M De Felice, L Corbo, G Morrone, R Mertelsmann, S Ferrone and S Venuta

The role of HLA Class I antigens in T cell proliferation was investigated by using the anti-HLA Class I monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) CR10-215, CR10-325, and CR11-115. MoAb CR10-215 and CR11-115 recognize the same (or spatially close) monomorphic determinant, which is distinct and spatially distant from that reacting with MoAb CR10-325. Addition of MoAb CR10-215 and CR11-115 to cultures of peripheral blood mononuclear cells stimulated with MoAb OKT3, MoAb Pan T2, PHA, or PPD inhibited cell proliferation. The blocking is specific in that the anti- HLA Class I MoAb CR10-325 and the Pan T MoAb Pan T1 had no effect on the proliferation. The inhibitory activity of MoAb CR10-215 and CR11- 115 does not reflect i) toxic effects, ii) induction of suppressor cells and factors, iii) blocking of the binding of mitogens to lymphocytes, iv) inhibition of the production of interleukin 1 (IL 1) and interleukin 2 (IL 2), or v) function of IL 2 receptor. Anti-HLA Class I MoAb were able to inhibit the proliferation of purified, Tac-, T cells. The inhibited cells did not express Tac antigen, as assayed by direct immunofluorescence, with MoAb anti-Tac, but released a normal amount of IL 2 in culture medium. These results indicate that monomorphic determinants of the HLA Class I complex are involved in the regulation of T cell proliferation. The effect appears to occur at the level of IL 2 receptor expression.
