Photoaffinity labeling of the T cell receptor on living cytotoxic T lymphocytes

Using a direct binding assay based on photoaffinity labeling, we have studied the interaction of an antigenic peptide with MHC class I molecules and the TCR on living cells. Two photoreactive derivatives of the H-2Kd (Kd) restricted Plasmodium berghei circumsporozoite (PbCS) peptide 253-260 (YIPSAEKI) were used. The first derivative contained an N-terminal photoreactive iodo, 4-azido salicyloyl (IASA) group and biotin on the TCR contact residue Lys259 [IASA-YIPSAEK(biotin)I]. As previously described, this derivative selectively bound to and labeled the Kd molecule. The second photoreactive compound, the isomeric biotin- YIPSAEK(IASA)I, also efficiently bound to the Kd molecule, but failed to label this protein. A CTL clone derived from a mouse immunized with this derivative recognized this conjugate but not the parental P. berghei circumsporozoite peptide or the [IASA-YIPSAEK-(biotin)I] derivative in an Kd-restricted manner. Incubation of the cloned CTL cells with biotin-YIPSAEK(IASA)I, but not its isomer, followed by UV irradiation resulted in photoaffinity labeling of the TCR-alpha chain that was dependent on the conjugate binding to the Kd molecule. The TCR labeling was partially inhibited by anti-LFA 1 and anti-ICAM1 mAb, but was increased by addition of beta 2m or soluble KdQ10. The exquisite labeling selectivity of the two photoprobes opens a new, direct approach to the molecular analysis of antigen presentation and recognition by living CTL.
