  • Title: T cell antigen receptor triggered exocytosis in cytotoxic T lymphocytes is inhibited by soluble, but not immobilized monoclonal antibodies to Lyt-2 antigen.

    Journal: J Immunol; 1987 Aug 15; 139(4):1014-21. PubMed ID: 3112219.
    Abstract:
    The effect of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) to surface antigens on the T cell antigen receptor (TcR)-triggered exocytosis of intracellular granules in cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) was studied. Soluble anti-LFA-1, anti-TcR, and anti-Lyt-2 mAb inhibited both CTL-inflicted 51Cr-release from the target cell (TC) and TC-stimulated exocytosis of granules from cloned CTL. Soluble anti-TcR and anti-Lyt-2 mAb but not soluble anti-LFA-1 mAb inhibited exocytosis, which was triggered by solid-phase anti-TcR mAb. Immobilized anti-Lyt-2 did not inhibit secretion triggered by immobilized anti-TcR mAb; immobilized anti-LFA-1 mAb had an modest inhibiting effect. Inhibition of exocytosis by soluble anti-Lyt-2 mAb was greater when stimulating anti-TcR mAb were immobilized at a lower density on a plastic surface. When the requirement for TcR cross-linking was bypassed by synergistic action of phorbol ester and ionophore A23187, no inhibition of exocytosis by soluble anti-Lyt-2 mAb was detected. The obtained data point to steric hindrance as the most likely explanation of the inhibition of TcR-triggered CTL activation by anti-Lyt-2 mAb.
