The surface and cytoplasmic expressions of the transducing chain
(IFN-
R2) of the heterodimeric IFN-
receptor on human T
lymphocytes have been investigated. We show that its surface expression
is low, whereas high cytoplasmic levels are found in both resting and
PHA-activated T lymphocytes. This low expression does not prevent
activated T cells from responding to IFN-
, because it induces
IFN-regulatory factor 1 expression. Low surface IFN-
R2 expression
appears to be due to recycling between cytoplasmic stores and the cell
surface, which does not depend on signals mediated by endogenous
IFN-
, because IFN-
R2 surface expression is low, and its
internalization is equally observed in patients with inherited
IFN-
R1 gene deficiency and in healthy donors. Moreover, IFN-
R2
internalization in T lymphoblasts from healthy donors was not affected
by the presence of anti-IFN-
-neutralizing or
anti-IFN-
R1-blocking mAb. In conclusion, these data illustrate a
new mechanism whereby human T cells limit the surface expression of
IFN-
R2 in a ligand-independent manner.
