Abstract

Two major subsets of human T lymphocytes that are functionally analogous to the mouse Lyt-2+ and Lyt-2- subsets have been defined by their expression of two thymus-dependent membrane antigens, Leu-2 and Leu-3. Leu-2+,3- cells have suppressor/cytotoxic functions and Leu-2-,3+ cells have helper functions. These studies were designed to determine the effects of adding IgG1 monoclonal anti-Leu-2 and anti-Leu-3 antibodies to the mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR). At high concentrations, each antibody partially inhibited the proliferative response of unseparated T cells and abolished the response of the isolated subset having the appropriate phenotype. An IgG1 monoclonal antibody to HLA-A2 and an IgG2a antibody to Leu-1, a pan-T antigen, failed to inhibited the MLR. These results suggest that the Leu-2 and Leu-3 antigens may have a direct role in the mechanism whereby T cells recognize and respond to alloantigen.
