Helper T lymphocytes provide a contact dependent signal to resting B cells that is required for optimal differentiation into Ig-secreting cells. The surface structure(s) on T cells that mediate helper function have not been identified but are known to be induced by T cell activation. A CD4- subclone of the Jurkat leukemic T cell line (D1.1) was isolated and found to be distinct from CD4+ Jurkat clones and a variety of other T and non-T cell leukemic lines in that coculture of D1.1 with resting B cells induced B cells to specifically express surface CD23 molecules, a marker of B cell activation. Furthermore, Jurkat D1.1 induced B cell proliferation and terminal B cell differentiation into IgG-secreting cells in the presence of T cell- dependent B cell mitogens. Similar to the helper effector function of activated T cells, the effects of Jurkat D1.1 were neither Ag nor MHC restricted. Paraformaldehyde fixed Jurkat D1.1 cells remained competent to activate B cells while D1.1 supernatants and diffusible factors were inactive. The effect of Jurkat D1.1 on B cell activation was distinct from that of rIL-4 and was not inhibited by antibodies to IL-4. Together these observations suggested that surface structures on D1.1 and not secreted factors, mediated contact-dependent helper effector function.
