Is a natural ligand of the T lymphocyte CD2 molecule a sulfated carbohydrate?

Recent studies have implicated sulfated polysaccharide (SP) recognition in a range of cell adhesion systems. Inasmuch as the CD2 (E rosette receptor, T11, LFA-2) molecule of human T lymphocytes is a cell surface glycoprotein involved in the adhesion of T cells to various target cells the possibility that CD2 binds SP was investigated. It was found that E rosetting of human T lymphocytes, a phenomenon involving CD2, was readily inhibited by the SP dextran sulfate (DxS) and, to a lesser extent, by the sulfated polymer polyvinyl sulfate whereas 11 other SP had no effect on E rosetting, this effect occurring at the T cell level. mAb binding studies revealed that DxS and polyvinyl sulfate, but none of the other SP tested, inhibited the binding to T cells of the anti-CD2 mAb OKT11 and anti-T112 but augmented expression of the T113 epitope of the CD2 molecule. In contrast, DxS had little or no effect on the binding of anti-CD3, -CD4, -CD8, -Pgp-1 and WT31 (TCR alpha/beta) mAb. Direct evidence that CD2 binds DxS was demonstrated by the ability of DxS-coupled fibers to totally deplete the CD2 Ag from lysates of radiolabeled human T lymphocytes and by the quantitative recovery of the CD2 Ag in fiber eluates. Control fibers coupled with other SP bound little or no CD2. Collectively, the data indicate that the CD2 molecule specifically binds DxS and suggest that a potential target cell ligand for CD2 is a sulfated carbohydrate structure.
