Title: The major histocompatibility complex-restricted antigen receptor on T cells. IX. Role of accessory molecules in recognition of antigen plus isolated IA. Author: Gay D, Coeshott C, Golde W, Kappler J, Marrack P. Journal: J Immunol; 1986 Mar 15; 136(6):2026-32. PubMed ID: 3512708. Abstract: Antibody inhibition studies were done to determine which molecules on the surface of the T cell hybridomas other than their receptors for antigen plus IAd were involved in interaction with antigen-presenting B cells, with artificial IAd membranes on glass beads, or with anti-receptor antibodies coupled to Sepharose beads. We found that T cell LFA-1 was only involved when B cells were used to present antigen plus IAd, whereas T cell L3T4 was involved in the response of T cells to antigen plus IAd either on cells or in artificial membranes, but not if anti-receptor antibodies were used to stimulate the T cells. From these results we concluded that LFA-1 may be involved in the recognition of a ligand on cells that was not present in artificial membranes, but that L3T4 might interact with a nonpolymorphic portion of class II molecules present in both intact antigen-presenting cells and the antigen-presenting artificial membranes.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
